Bahama Breeze

No, I haven't been on a cruise for two weeks, (oh, man!) but I have been crazy busy since I've been back. Between starting the fall semester, returning to Tory Burch for an internship, living through an earth quake and oh yea, a hurricane (hope you are all safe!).  I think you may be able to understand my lack of posting.   

Enough on that subject though!  I wanted to share some of my photos from my amazing vacation with you.  We went on a cruise to Florida and the Bahamas.  If you've ever been on a cruise then you'll understand why my vacation consisted of an unlimited amount of delicious food, wonderfully girly drinks by the pool and beach while in port, new bathing suits, and of course, the absolute best time with my amazing family.  I'm going to let my nerd flag fly here, but if you've never brought Yahtzee on a vacation, you haven't lived.  

All photos by me taken in Cape Canaveral, FL, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau

I'm On A Boat

No, really, I'm going to be on a boat for a week.   By boat I mean ship and by ship I mean a cruise. Tomorrow I set sail out of New York to the Bahama's! I literally cannot contain my excitement.  I haven't been on a vacation in years. Years, I say!  So, naturally I will be MIA from the blogosphere until next week.  Upon my return expect a few blog posts dedicated to what sure is to be a great vacation.  Anyways, I had so much fun packing this morning, blasting music, trying on sun dresses and coordinating bathing suits with cover-ups.  Cheers to white sand, clear water, and a never ending supply of rum punch. 

 

  Kiehl's face wash, Kai body lotion (it's to-die), Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey Cologne,  Gloss Moderne Heat Serum.

 Various jewelry options for day and night.

 Playful bangles.

My go-to summer shoe, Tory Burch espadrilles.  They easily match with everything and are perfect for day and night!

Where did you all go this summer?  What are your suitcase must-haves? 

Etsy on the Street

A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to make it home for the annual Hamilton Fest in Baltimore.  It was great to catch up with family and friends many of whom planned the entire festival(!) and got to eat great Maryland food.  Not to mention the emerging craft scene in Baltimore.  I have been to the Hamfest the past few years and was pleasantly surprised to see how many Etsy sellers made it out to steal the show!  Here's a bit of my Hamfest Photo Diary....

Etsy Model Of The Week

This weeks model(s) come from wonderful Etsy photographer, Mariam Sitchinava. I have been a long time admirer of her work and I thought it was about time that she made her debut onto the blog. I love her use of color, the presence of nature, and the eerie quality of her work.

Which is your favorite?

Etsy Interiors

I decided that my summer project was going to be an apartment redecoration so I have been slowly making changes over the past few months.  I picked up a new shower curtain and couch cover which gave our apartment an instant pick-me-up.  A family friend is refurnishing some of my parents and grandparents furniture including an adorable arm chair that my Grandma paid 75 cents for!  Of course, I took to Etsy for new art prints, tiny nik-naks and the coolest chevron striped pillow cases!  The only room  small area I have yet touched is my kitchen... Until I found Etsy seller Jadite Kate.  

What have you been up to this summer?
