Happy Monday! This past weekend Austin and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. One week late, but the actual anniversary weekend was much too busy to actually enjoy and celebrate this special occasion. Austin and I decided on no gifts and to just do some fun things around the city to celebrate. Gotta love 3-day weekends! When the time came to hand over our cards, Austin looked suspiciously giddy. I should have known something was up. When I opened my card, I saw a hand sketched drawing of a Sandals resort...surprise we are going to Sandals! This is when I cried, screamed and praised Austin for his incredible drawing skills. Turns out the first "traditional" gift for an anniversary is paper. A pair of plane tickets to the beach will do us just fine if I do say so myself. I am so excited. We went to Sandals St. Lucia for our honeymoon and had a blast...I can't wait to try out another resort. Of course I am already on the lookout for some great pieces to take along! Resort or not, here are some great summer picks! Enjoy!!

2 Coats You Need To Know About
It's always about this time each year I start my Fall/Winter coat search. I look through roughly 100-ish options and buy several to try-on at home. Then, I narrow it down to 3 or 4 that I want to keep. All in the name of research, right?
Finding the right kind of outerwear is key for a well rounded closet. Especially if you are like me and tend to dress more.. basic. I'm still searching for a cream coat, but in the meantime, here are two that I want to share with you. ...
