    Cruising in Greece & Turkey

    My family and I set sail on a once in a lifetime cruise around Greece and Turkey. While our original plan was to take a Holy Land cruise to Israel and Egypt, current events said otherwise. (Though it is still on my personal bucket list to visit Egypt). As a girl who is obsessed with all things white and blue, I knew that Greece would not disappoint. And after choosing a green color palette for our trip to Napa Valley, I was ready to jump back into blues and whites for this trip.

    My Favorite Purchases In May

    I took a shopping pause for my wardrobe the month of April, that I almost made it through save for one dress from H&M. But all self control went out the door as soon as May 1st hit. (Full transparency: I purchase a lot of new things for my wardrobe using the little bit of money I make through commissions on the blog. Not everything, but a lot of things. So thank you for supporting me). There are two purchases in May that I know I will be wearing all summer and had to share.

    Sales from Brands I Love this Memorial Weekend

    Memorial weekend is one of the biggest times of year for brands to have sales. Almost every store, from departments stores to boutiques, will have sales running all weekend long.

    What I Wore in Napa Valley

    Picture this, you’re surrounded by the lush greenery of Napa, sipping a glass of Pinot Nior, in your perfectly curated vineyard outfit. This is what I imagined for myself less than a week ago. I’ve spent probably a month trying to put together the perfect Napa Valley wardrobe. My main source of inspiration has been Meredith Blake from the Parent Trap and Pretty Woman. While none of the outfits are duplicates from the movie, I’d like to think I nailed the overall essence of these fashion icons. (Meredith Blake may be the villain, but you can’t deny she had style). My main color palette for the trip was greens, black…

    Modern Day Palm Royale

    The AppleTV show, Palm Royale, has reignited my love for Lilly Pulitzer. I first came to know (and love) Lilly back when I was in college. Being at a school in Virginia, you would think there would be plenty of sorority girls who wore Lilly. Virginia is technically the South after all. However, it wasn’t until my family moved back to Orlando my freshman year of college that I was introduced to Lilly Pulitzer. And it wasn’t until I met my then boyfriend (now husband), Michael, that I started wearing Lilly.   My obsession with Lilly was fanned more when I moved to Orlando myself after graduation. But truth be…
