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: Impromptu Getaway

Although my week had a lot of high’s, there were quite a few low’s as well. It was stressful and I was pretty sure the end was nowhere in sight, so when the light that was Friday evening strolled around, I was ready to just relax. I had mentioned on Facebook that I wanted to lay out on a beach and do nothing, but I knew that wasn’t going to be possible. I had a lot of things on my agenda for the weekend, basically leaving me no time to just sit back and relax so I decided to take things into my own hands. Sometimes what you really need to do is cancel all your plans and take an impromptu mental health day. And I did just that.

I grabbed the hubs, we piled into the Cube and we made our way down to The Florida Keys. It was a gorgeous day, and we spent it admiring the scenery, looking at boats we will never be able to afford, drinking girly drinks (yum) and eating seafood (lobster to be exact – double yum) while ocean side. It was a beautiful and perfect escape – I highly recommend doing the same every now and then. Life is too short to not sit back and enjoy it sometimes.
