CUBAN COFFEE QUEEN

posted on: Friday, May 23, 2014




We biked back to our house so I could show you more details of this dress because it's my new favorite! Plus, this back yard is like its own tropical paradise, and I never want to leave.






Between relaxing by the pool and bike riding around this small island, there is always time for coffee. My dad, Danny, and I headed out for a walk to the marina to go to a small coffee stand called Cuban Coffee Queen. I'm always in the mood for a good iced coffee, especially when it's so hot out! My favorite thing about this coffee: coffee ice cubes. I have to start making some myself! On a different note, I was so happy to rock a crown braid and no makeup again, and I LOVE my Free People dress because it's so pretty that it stands as a statement piece. I'm going to apologize ahead of time for posting this dress more than once this summer; I just can't help it!

CROWN OF GOLD, HEART OF DAISIES

posted on: Tuesday, April 1, 2014







You'd never know it snowed two days ago in CT with the looks of how beautiful the weather was the day after. Amy took these shots of me yesterday and it was gorgeous out--sunny and 60 degrees! It got me really excited to do an outfit post. I don't know what's with me and this gold/mustard color lately, but I've really been into it. 

I think the favorite part about my outfit is my hair! I've been wanting to do a crown braid, but was unsure how to. I texted my cousin, Sassy (because she is great with hair among other things!), and she sent me this amazing tutorial video on how to dutch braid my hair into the crown style. I'll definitely be doing this more often :) 

Hope the weather is spring-y by you!
