What I Wore: Tropical (& Affordable) Swimsuits in Jamaica

In June, we took a trip to Jamaica with two of our friends and stayed all-inclusive at Sandals Negril and can I just tell you... I'm STILL not over it. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been and we had the best time. But instead of going on and on about how awesome it was, I just wanted to pop up a quick post about some of my favorite swimsuits (all from Target, because their swim options are fabulous this year) that you can get for a great price. I'll show you a few of the bikinis and one-pieces I wore, which were both cute and durable for everything from lounging by the pool to snorkeling in the ocean, and I'll post some similar options as well. Enjoy!

A Look Back at 2017

Happy new year, friends! 2017 was an amazing year for me, filled with tons of new experiences and exciting adventures, and I'm forever grateful. Before jumping into 2018 with my long list of goals and resolutions, I felt the need to pause and look back on all the wonderful things the past year had to offer and share my favorite moments of 2017. I also wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your love and support. I started this blog on a whim, as something to do in my spare time. I never really planned on sharing it with anyone and even when I did, I certainly never thought anyone would read it. So, thank you. Thank you for reading, following, and supporting this blog, and in turn supporting me. You guys are awesome and I wish you nothing but the best in 2018!

A Weekend in Asheville, NC

This weekend we celebrated our one year anniversary in Asheville, NC. While our trip may have been short, we had the best time eating, drinking, and exploring our way through this colorful, hip city. With art on every corner, murals on every wall, and gorgeous mountain views everywhere you turn, Asheville definitely takes sight-seeing to a whole new level. We could have easily spent our entire weekend just snapping pictures of street art and visiting all the studios in the River Arts District. Asheville is also known for it's awesome culinary scene, which some call Foodtopia. The city is full of local dive bars, killer food trucks, and several award winning restaurants. And of course, let's not forget the beer! Named Beer City in 2009, Asheville has more breweries per capita than anywhere else in the United States. Beer, art, and mountain views? It's like this city was made for us.

A Day in Historic Fernandina Beach, FL

Spring Break 2017 is here! While I'm loving having the entire week off, I definitely wish the rest of my family & friends could enjoy it with me. I have to admit, I feel guilty lounging around and tanning by the pool while everyone else is busy at work. Just a tiny bit guilty. A teeny tiny bit. Ok, so I don't really feel that guilty, but hey, I've earned it! Who said going back to school didn't have its perks?

A Honeymoon in Charleston

It's official... we're married!!! Our wedding took place last Saturday, May 7th, at Bowing Oaks Plantation here in Jacksonville (which is the most gorgeous venue you can imagine, please do yourself a favor and check it out! Seriously, I wish I could live there). Every single part of our big day was more beautiful and perfect than we ever imagined and we are so happy we got to share it all with our family and friends. I could cry again just thinking about it!

Photo Diary: England

As I'm currently nursing a slight sunburn and trying to survive our 100+ degrees of Florida sunshine, it's hard for me to imagine that only two months ago my mom and I were visiting my grandparents over in England. I can't even begin to explain what an amazing, fun, and beautiful trip it was! We packed a ridiculous amount of traveling and activities into our 15 days there, and although the hundreds of pictures I took don't do the trip any justice, I still thought I would share some of the best moments with you guys. These were all taken on my phone, so sorry in advance if they aren't the best quality around!
