Happy Wednesday loves! Florida is finally getting it's taste of back to back days of winter. In fact, we've been below 70 for 4 days in a row now and I think this is the first time that's happened since last winter. I definitely feel slightly bad for the people coming here on vacation expecting sunshine and warm weather because it just isn't happening right now. But I've been enjoying the cooler weather because it means I can break out my favorite sweaters and booties without being too warm!

I bought this sweater back before Christmas but it's been tough to wear it since it's a thicker, cozier sweater so when it dropped down to highs in the 50's I decided it was a perfect time to break it out! Of course now it happens to be on sale for $30 with an additional 50% off when I bought it full price a few months ago but that just means I can scoop it up in a few other colors, right? Another favorite find recently is these leopard booties. I seriously wear them with so many things because leopard is a neutral, right? ;) They're so freaking comfy too!

Congratulations crazy Florida weather, you win. I've officially gotten my first cold of the season and it could not have come at a worse time. Not that there is any "good" time for a cold but my parents happen to be in town this weekend and I had to make another trip back up to Gainesville on Monday so I haven't really gotten any time to rest and recover. Oh well. That's what the weekend is for right? Oh right, I already have plans this weekend too. Sigh. But speaking of crazy Florida weather, how is it possible to be 86 one day and 66 the next? Not cool. 

I know I've complained about our crazy weather swings in the past but I guess it could be worse. It might be annoying but I definitely don't miss the snow. Plus there's something really fun about knowing I can rock a maxi dress and flip flops in December and not freeze. I wore this dress out for Sunday Funday two weekends ago and it was so comfy. It was a bit breezy out, sunny and the perfect maxi weather. I actually brought my jean jacket with me and put it on after the sun went down and it got a bit cooler out. And did I mention what a steal this dress is?! Super comfy, the softest material ever and it even has pockets and it's under $30! When I saw my girl Kerri rocking it a few weeks ago, I absolutely knew I had to have it and now I'm going to be purchasing it in other colors!

Happy Wednesday babes! Look at me posting relatively consistently two weeks in a row. Crazy right? Florida weather has been so crazy lately. I feel like I say that every year but this year it feels worse than usual. We go from one week in the 60's back up to the 80's to a few days in the 40's then back up to almost 90. It makes it REALLY hard to dress appropriately that's for sure. Luckily I've learned the art of layering and that's basically the only way I can make it through the day. This draped trench has been my go to layering piece this fall. 

I had been wanting a draped trench for awhile now. I feel like it's one of those classic pieces you can wear forever. I found this jacket before attending a rainy start to Orlando Fashion Week back in October and I've worn it so many different ways since then. I love wearing it with either all black or all white as a fun pop to a neutral outfit like with this outfit. It's definitely become my favorite layering piece and for the price, you certainly can't beat it!

Happy Monday babes! Surprised to see me today? I know, I've been neglecting this little space of mine lately but I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things. And when I get to check out amazing places of course I HAVE to share them with you...even if I do it a few weeks late. *eek, sorry!* As you all know, I'm not the biggest girly girl. I've never gotten a blow out, in fact I rarely even get my hair done but after checking out Blo Blow Dry Bar in downtown Orlando, I am definitely sold. 

Mikaela invited a few of us (including my girl, Kerri) to check out some of the services Blo Blow Dry Bar offers as well as have a fun little girl's night out so obviously I couldn't resist. Right when you walk up you can tell this place is going to be straight up adorable (and a blogger's dream come true). The pink, white and black decor is so dreamy and the fun murals on the wall make for the perfect backdrop for photo ops. 

Blo Blow Dry Bar is your one stop shop to look your best for any occasion. They offer makeup, nails and of course blow outs but one of my favorite things is that you don't have to get just a blow out. My hair tends to not hold a curl so for me going to get my hair done never made sense because I knew it would fall out within an hour of getting it done... if I was lucky. The girl's at Blo Blow Dry Bar showed me the book of fun hairstyle options to choose from and I immediately knew I was interested in getting a braid. As someone who can't braid my own hair (I told you, I'm not girly at all) I was thrilled to know these fabulous ladies could do pretty much any fun braid I wanted.

After getting my hair washed and prepped (with the most amazing smelling products, I must add) I sat down in my chair next to Kerri with a glass of champs in the cutest Corkcicle champagne flutes and watched them go to work! I was so happy with my side Dutch braid and I even ended up rocking it for several days which I never could have done with just a plain blow out. 

Blo Blow Dry Bar has 123 locations so if you're looking for a gorgeous hair style for your next event or if you just want to pamper yourself for a day, because you deserve it, be sure to check them out! 

Thank you so much to Blo Blow Dry Bar for having us!

Happy Monday and first day of October babes! This illustration is pretty much me this morning. I had a late night last night so I'm a little more tired than usual this morning so bring on that extra cup of coffee! October is my favorite month out of the year so despite the fact I feel like this year is flying by, I'm super excited it's finally October. I've already been doing some fall things but October is when I really start breaking out all the fun fall activities. Speaking of activities, let's chat about this weekend, shall we? 

Friday after work I headed over to Epcot Food & Wine Festival for some bites and beverages. It was my first time going this year but we already have a few other times scheduled so I didn't hit up everything I wanted to eat but so far my favorite has been the Korean BBQ ribs from Flavors From Fire. There are plenty of other places I want to check out so don't be surprised if you get a full blog post on Food & Wine soon. 

Happy humpday babes! Can we talk about how I'm posting on a Wednesday for the first time in like a month? Crazy right? And speaking of, where the heck did the time go? I'm still sitting over here trying to figure out how it's already almost October. It's officially the start of my favorite season but as always, it takes awhile for Florida to really get into the swing of fall.
Despite the ever persistent heat, I've been trying to spend as much time outside as possible and incorporate as much "fall" into my wardrobe as I can. My booties are on constant repeat as well as a flannel shirt tied around my waist almost at all times. This outfit has me feeling like fall with the colors but still perfect for the close to 90 degree (if not higher) days. I actually have this Free People skirt in three colors now and I don't see myself not scooping it up in at least one or two other colors before the end of the year. It's super stretchy and comfortable and extremely flattering. This tank is the perfect basic layering piece for summer to fall. It's a great price point and looks adorable with almost everything. As someone who isn't a huge "pink" person, I was surprised how much I loved this blush and burgundy combo.
