I was born and raised in California so learning to dress for a Florida fall has been challenging but it is a challenge I am willing to take on. Anything for continuous sunshine and warm water. This combination of a sheer top, shorts and boots was perfect for this beautiful afternoon. I've always thought change is good, bring it on Florida.

Basics

Chambray Shirt (noun) – a must-have for every wardrobe. Whenever I have a pair of pants {shorts or a skirt} that "I just don't know what to wear them with" I always turn to this chambray shirt. This amazingly wearable and functional piece is something I find myself wearing far too often.

Its getting "cold" here in Florida but from what I hear it's only temporary - I hope. I have to admit, though, I've missed my chunky sweaters and boots that we get to wear for just a short, sweet while in San Diego. I recently found this lightweight sweater and knew it would be a perfect neutral metallic piece. And the pants? I don't know - I just simply love them.

Get Up, Get Out, Discover and Be Inspired

Nature can be so very healing, inspiring and invigorating. The ocean is definitely my happy place, my source for inspiration; it has the power to put so much of life into perspective. I never regret getting up early for a run on the beach {as much as I fight it some mornings}. What is your happy place? Find the time to cherish and enjoy it. Every day.

Honeymoon: Mexico Style

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things I focused on most while planning for my wedding was what I was going to wear on our honeymoon in Todos Santos. I found and packed beautiful dresses, outfits for romatic dinners and fun shoes and accessories (what was I thinking?!). When we actually embarked on our amazing honeymoon at the unbelievable Arriba de la Roca, what was it that I turned to every day? It was my most simple and functional pieces; solid suits, simple cover-ups and tunics, a great pair of sunglasses, a panama hat, head wraps and Havaianas. My warm-weather honeymoon advice? Pack light, explore and soak it all in.
