Whenever we go on vacations, our days are typically centered around eating. Wake up - what’s for breakfast? At the beach - we should head up for lunch soon. Evening - Where do we want to head for dinner? I don’t want to just head anywhere for dinner…I want great food and a great atmosphere. And oh ya, there needs to be a viable vegetarian option. I know I sound like the world’s pickiest eater (which is why I desperately need this bag) but the heart wants what the heart wants.

While in Naples, my grandfather took us to this cute bayside restaurant called The Dock. On a Tuesday night the place was packed. While we waited for our table, we snapped a few photos while the sun was setting. I wore this adorable white lace dress about a thousand different ways in the few days we visited and I’m not even sorry. It’s just too darn cute. And while I’ve shifted my closet color palette to neutrals lately, I couldn’t help but add some fun colorful jewelry and this scarf to compliment the dress. With the beautiful weather and a little tan, it all felt so right.

Last weekend, we attended the latest Cirque du Soleil show, Amaluna, at National Harbor, (which was AMAZING BTW and I’m giving away tickets to the August 28 show!) I thought about wearing my extravagant chartreuse lace dress (seen on Insta here) that I bought at H&M but ended up with another casual cool look. As you can tell, I’ve been totally into dressing down lately. I styled my hair in a 'roughed up' pony to pair with the laid back look (thanks for the tutorial, Natalie and Tammy!) I typically spend way too much time trying to look “put together” and I’m ready for a change!

This blazer has basically been on me every day since I bought it at Anthom. When Ashley suggested I try it on in the store, I thought, “but I already have a black blazer.” Umm, wrong. OH. SO. VERY. WRONG. This slouchy blazer instantly gives a chic look to everything I throw it over. I can’t begin to tell you how obsessed I am.

PS can we talk about these super cute booties from The Mint Julep Boutique?! I’ve been searching for the perfect cognac pair and THEY HAVE ARRIVED. Prepare to see these bad boys wayyy more often over here. And I’ll be doing a little giveaway next week for a gift card to The Mint Julep Boutique so you can get a pair for yourself - HOLLA! In the meantime, get $10 off for signing up for their email list.
