I know, I know... I've been a bad blogger lately, and I am truly sorry! I know I miss my fave blogs when they are away. I need to be better about saving posts before I leave and travel all over the place! :) As you know, I was in FL the week before last visiting my little honey while he's recovering from an injury. Here are some of the highlights! I love to travel and do so a lot because of my fiance. I will always share restaurants, shops, etc. that I find in the cities I visit. I love reading about that on other blogs, so I hope to inspire you to try new things and go to new places! Going to Chicago next week...so excited! Hope everyone has had a great week!
I have wanted to go here since I went down in Feb. We finally did...
And I LOVED IT!!! It's in Bradenton, FL. You must go by if you're in the area!
It's walk-up only. So cute!
Chocolate covered cherry "blizzard" w/hot fudge. Delicious!
Casual day outfit for the extremely hot weather!
This James Pearse skirt is soo versatile!

Louis Vuitton scarf was a gift from my little honey :)
Amazingly unique wrap bracelet from my Aunt Carol.
Love this piece because it's really all you need to make an outfit!
My favorite parts are the orange coral mixed with pearls and turquoise beads.
