F21 leather jacket scarf and dress, Dolce Vita Marley wedges, Nova Ice plastic ring, Lucky bracelet

For good ole' V-Day, Conrad snuck me down to the beach to casualy stroll around the beach and take in the newly remodeled beach walk and brand new Hyatt hotel. This stroll then morphed into a romantic and giggle-filled dinner at our all time favorite restaurant for teriyaki steak and wasabi mashed potatoes. After dinner we made our way home after nearly hitting 30 scientologists with the car at one cross walk.

As for the clothing, I didn't expect it to be nearly as cold as it was that night down by the water. Good thing I wore the scarf. I just recently added this white dress to my mounding collection, I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing it hundreds of times this summer. Nothing better than a lightweight, flowy white dress in 100% humidity.

Hope you all had a great V-Day!

I popped into Zara this weekend to take a peek at some of their incoming spring collection, found this shirt, fell in love with the delicate material, and made my purchase. The weatherman called for a warm sunny day, but of course he was wrong and it ended up staying under 60 degrees, but that didnt stop me from wearing the ultra thin, sandy hued top of my spring dreams.

I also aquired a couple of new dresses from Forever 21 in preparation for summer. Now if only the sun would work a little harder to warm us up so we can start wearing less clothing.

Forever 21 t-shirt & shorts, Dolce Vita wedges, Coco & Lolly bracelets

The cold air and rain decided to leave Florida for the weekend which means we had to be outdoors. We took a short trip down to the beach for lunch and a little walk around town to soak up some of the delicately warm sunshine. Let me tell you though, the wind was absolutly powerful. I'm pretty sure my Frankenstein shoes were the one thing keeping my skinny ass anchored to the ground. I stayed extra casual for the beach with my boyfriend tee and some shorts. I'm pretty sure I got a couple of double takes with the heels, but it's not like I went in the sand. Sillies. I'm thinkin Spring might arrive a little early for us, but it might be too early to judge. Not looking forward to reunite with humidity.

A screamimg doorbell, a thud on my front poorch, and a nasty cough of a large engine shifting through gears, this only means one thing..the nice FedEx man has finally brought me my highly anticipated DV Marley wedges! You can't even imagine how excited I was. I pretty much looked like a child on Christmas morning. I ripped that box open with tiger-like instincts and slide those puppies one and pranced around all day in my house with The Eagles blasting Those Shoes. My dad decided to dub them Frankenstein shoes, he coudldn't believe what I was wearing on my feet. That makes them even better.

For those of you that live in the UK, I thought I would share an awesome competition for you all. It's the Americas Next Top Model Challenge. Every week there is a new challenege given for a pose you must try your best at. Every week judges will choose one winner who will receive money to spend at ASOS and will have their entry aired on the LIVING channel after the following weeks ANTM episode. There is also a grand prize winner who will win their own ANTM styled photoshoot! I suggest you get going because they just started week 2!

They were calling for possible snow in Florida Saturday morning, and I prayed all Friday that it would make it to Tampa (I've never seen snow). Of course the damn snow didn't make it my way. It snowed about an hour north of me, enough to make a tiny little snowman. I honestly almost cried haha. But this weekend was extra icey cold and a big gray blanket of swirly clouds hoovered over our heads. They say your heat escapes through your head so I thought it would be a good time to throw on a hat, and a cute one with a fuzzy little ball at that. Black is one of my favorite colors to wear because it's so easy and complimenting, so I went with wearing all black, Can't go wrong there.

Dolce Vita Marley Wedge

Buckles, peeptoe, mixed leather, wicked wedge heel...fucking awesome. I can breathe now, I have ordered the Dolce Vita Marley wedges I have been daydreaming about all week. These babies caught my eye last weekend at the mall and I walked around in them for 15 minutes then came and walked in them again before leaving the mall. Then I noticed a huge notch in the heel and almost had a melt down in front of the entire department store until my lovely saleswoman offered to order me a brand new size 6 to be dropped of at my front door. Of course I said yes. I can't wait for those little darlings to arrive so I can plant my feet into their leathery goodness and prance around town in them.

Icey weather, gray sky..just because the sun is in hiding doesn't mean we have to. Why does everyone hole up in the house when its cold out? I mean, a high of 45 and some wind is pretty chilly for us Floridians, but theres just something about winter and the dull colors of the season that attracts me. There doesn't always have to be bright colors and warmth for there to be beauty. Guess I try to seek out beauty in places people normally don't see it.

Family visits, home cookin', spending christmas money, witnessing new 3D movies, dad's birthday, boyfriend's birthday....wooo I finally get to sit down. The last 2 weeks have been just a little bit busier than usual. But I now have a chance to sit down in my comfy baggy jammies and start the new year off in total comfort. I'll run you through a quick breakdown of my holiday. Christmas was a nice family day, loved seeing everyone. Me and the boyfriend went to see the new 3D movie Avatar which I really loved surprisingly. GO SEE IT. Got plenty of $$ and gift cards. My new years was simple and subtle. Me and the boyfriend went out for a few hours and came home to watch the ball drop and see Travis Pastrana fly his Subaru. Simply perfect. Hope everyone had a great time bringing in the new year.
