cold beach hot coffee

Published by

Just returned from the most lovely trip to VA beach which I visited for a shoot (more on that later in the year) Spent the extra down time on the beach of course. First day was a balmy mid-70’s type day – perfect for strolling along the sea. The second day (which these photos are from) was FREEZING. Nastygal fleece and Starbucks came to the rescue, so sorry you’re going to see this jacket twice. I believe in packing light. However, I couldn’t resist being that tourist that regardless of the season, had to jet to the beach at 7:00am to catch the sunrise – even through the shivers. Bonus of a cold beach is that we had it all to ourselves! It actually made for quite a charming morning. Though my photographer may have disagreed… Wearing a new shop for the first time called BlackFive. I was apprehensive to order due to mixed reviews online, however the entire lot I purchased from them (and I did purchase a lot) were fantastic! Good quality for …

Finally got around to sorting through the photos from my recent trip to Florida to visit Nick (my big brother). Allow me to be mushy for a moment – my family is so important to me, and I love them to pieces! I have two brothers, and I am so happy to share that we are truly best friends.

And it was a great excuse to get one more wear out of some summer favorites (though let’s not lie, these slides are going to be worn until my toes freeze off). Things I wore that I didn’t photo – shorts, boring tank tops, and more slides. Don’t judge me, it’s the beach. I was on vacation.

It’s been an exciting week here in my blogging dreams. Posts are up, I’m now up and running on Facebook, Twitter, Polyvore, Pinterest, and Instagram; (letting out a gasp and sigh simultaneously) …and I’ve gotten my first few likes and follows. Waiting to have a more solid collection of posts until I spam my friends and loved ones with pleadings of allegiance, but yeah – check them out. While shooting for this post, basic thoughts running through my head: “why don’t I wear hats more often, they totally hide my dirty hair”, “I wonder if starting a blog makes me self-centered since it revolves around posting a million photos of myself…”, “oh well, don’t judge me”, “Speaking to myself in the third person again, hmmm”,… Well might as well get on with it then. Breaking in my new midi skirt I picked up this week at a local boutique, for a total steal by the way. Vince, you never do me wrong. But what I left still smiling wryly  to myself about, is the moment …
