Pack Perfect for Paradise

Overpacking for vacation is a terrible habit that I have because I am a woman that likes to have her options. I put myself on a mission to create the perfect styling guide to pack for the Florida weekend escape, so I could pack light but still have some style choices. I admittedly have a […]

Care for Your Kini

Bikini Season never ends in Florida, and I live by the mantra “Life is too short for cheap bikinis.” Since swimwear tends to be my Florida uniform, I usually opt for buying quality swimwear instead of cheap, fast-fashion bikinis. It is worth the price for luxury swimwear, I notice the difference in quality, construction and […]

Finding Old Florida in Jax Historic Neighborhoods

I have this thing with Old Florida. Before amusement parks and country clubs lined the spine of our state, Florida was still considered to be paradise. I am constantly driving down US-1, the original East Coast Highway, seeking out vintage neon signs and abandoned attractions. In my quest of capturing Old Florida, I developed an […]

Local Legend: Howley’s Restaurant WPB

There are not many places that can adapt to time while preserving its history and authenticity, however Howley’s Restaurant succeeds. An eclectic mix of Midcentury nostalgia clashes with millennial quirk, to create the perfect diner along Dixie Highway that has toted the slogan “Cooked in Sight, must be right!” since 1950. I frequent Howley’s almost […]

Chasing the Sunshine Across the State

I love the East Coast of Florida, but I miss watching sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. I catch the sunset from time to time from the barrier islands of Palm Beach County, watching the light go to sleep over the mainland. It’s lovely, but it is not the same as the ones watched growing […]

Saving Face at Bella Reina

I turned 32 a week ago, and as I work my way well into my third decade I’m trying to fight off the aging process in the most graceful ways. I’ve been trying to save face as my mug has some battle wounds from my sun worshiping Florida lifestyle. On my birthday, I was treated […]

Pseudo-Sunkissed with COOLA

What better way to close Skin Cancer Awareness Month than share a product that can make you pseudo-sunkissed? Being a fair, freckled sun worshipper, I have beat up my skin a lot. I have the deepest regret of the backyard sessions with the baby oil and a Seventeen magazine. That early 2000 teenage starter kit […]
