What I Wore: Islamorada

So I know I mentioned that Key West was my favorite of the Florida Keys, but I have to say that I may cheat on it every now and then with Islamorada. You see, Islamorada is a short one hour drive from our house, and it immediately transports you to paradise. Bright turquoise water, waterfront dining and drinking, and locations with nothing but personality. Although I have many day time haunts on the island(s), my favorite place to go to once the sun starts to set is the Islamorada Fish Company. You just cannot beat the spectacular view and delicious food. Don’t be surprised if I end up back on this pier in the weeks to come.

What I Wore: Key West

There are very few places I love more than Key West. The laid back, beachy vibe suits me so well. The minute I arrive, I want to head straight to either The Green Parrot or Fat Tuesday, grab a drink infused with some kind of rum, and relax. There is no rush (only for your next drink), no place to be, no dress code. Oh, & it’s beautiful. Especially when the sun is shining and your friends are by your side. Is there anything better? I think not.

What I Wore: Keys Date

The hubs and I do Valentine’s…our way. This usually means something very low-key – remember the IKEA date? Or the stay-at-home foodie fest? Well, this year we decided at the very last minute to drive down to the Florida Keys and just bum around, enjoying the pure beauty of one of our favorite places. And what a perfect day! It was bright, sunny and chilly (we don’t get that trio often), and we were in heaven.

I’ve also finally gotten over my fear of colored denim and have jumped straight to blinding love. I was totally inspired by this Polyvore collage to pair animal print with my new absolutely favorite green pants – and who knew: it worked! I’ll slowly become braver and attempt color blocking in the future, but baby steps for now! I especially loved that I matched with all the local decor. 😉
