This is what May in Miami looks like.
I am so excited that my pool is finally open for business because I’m hoping this is what the rest of my weekends will look like this summer. I got to don a bikini, show off my tattoos, catch up on my reading & doze off in the warm sun. And that’s exactly why I won’t have any fashion posts this week – unless bikinis count 😉
Being born and raised in Miami, a kid learns to feel as comfortable in a bathing suit as in their own PJ’s. I had my first bikini before I could walk, and my love for a good suit has not subsided. My goal for this summer is to spend more time at the beach (believe it or not, I have not laid on the sand for a very long time), and in our new pool (it’s getting a face lift sometime in the next couple of months), so it’s imperative for me to stock up on some new & hot bathing suits!
Here are some of my favorites:

So as you all know, I’m ramping up for summer and I figured it was the perfect time to upload a more summer-friendly mixtape! All these tunes make me think of laying out by the pool, road trips with no particular destination, flip flops and sunshine or all of the above. So turn it up and get your dose of musical vitamin D!

Although it is only March, IKEA has already released its summer items and that means everyone better put on their running shoes!
Last year, I was super excited about their summer line, but by the time I got to the store they were completely sold out. They then managed to remain unavailable for the entirety of the season. IKEA doesn’t make it easy either by basically not offering anything through their online store. So this year I have my game face on and am ready to put up a fight!
What am I looking to pick up while I’m there?
Well, although we have a very small patio, it is a patio and needs some major TLC. We have a lot of parties at our pad and people love to hang out back there. Problem? There really is nowhere to hang out! Plus, we just got a grill and have been having BBQ’s regularly – it would be really nice to for our friends to be able to pick up their burger and be able to sit down & enjoy it outdoors. So my mission is to furnish our small, but cute patio!
Here are some of my favorite items:

I think two of these sitting next to each other would make for a great outdoor table after treated. I just have to see it person to see if it is tall enough because the website does state that it could be used as an end table or stool. Hmmm.
