I'm going to just go ahead and admit defeat. Winter, you are KILLING my soul (also my vibe.) You've turned me into a grouchy, go-to-bed early monster with little to no self esteem. Ok, maybe I'm slightly over-exaggerating (not really), but I am literally counting the days (one month, two days) until spring arrives.

I really loved the little taste of spring we got a few weeks ago. Remember that one Sunday? Man I miss that day. While I was originally wearing this turtleneck over my lace dress, I tied it around my waist once it started warming up. I really love the slimming effect it has. And yes, I know cold weather is here for another two months, but I can't stop thinking about springtime picnics, starting our garden, enjoying brunch on our deck, and getting back into exercising outside...dear spring, COME SOON!

Hey guys - back from vacation and as usual, my resolution to shoot a ton of outfit photos dissolved upon setting foot on the beach - BUT I GOT ONE IN. During my weeklong trip to Marco Island, I got most of the way through The Goldfinch (I’m a verrryy slow reader), fed a giraffe, finally got a tan, drank all the wine, swam laps in the ocean and got to see glowing particles on a kayak biolumiesense tour (SO COOL YOU GUYS.) To say the least, I had a pretty awesome time.

Here are a few snaps from our walk to a beachfront restaurant near my grandfather’s condo. My sister-in-law (who accompanied us on the trip with her hubby) got this dress for my birthday from a super cute boutique in Harrisonburg called The Yellow Button. I didn’t buy any high-low dresses all summer and now I AM KICKING MYSELF. I love this one and will be wearing it out until absolutely necessary.

Also #sorrynotsorry for hardly brushing my hair. It’s vacation and well, it was wine time... #priorities
