The V, Seagrove + Majestical Jewelry

I have found the cure for marriage blues!!! What are marriage blues, you ask? You know…when your marriage needs a little spark; when you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all; for us, most importantly, when you need time away from technology!!

So here's the cure: Tyler surprised me with a date to a restaurant both of us have never been to before. Since we've only been living in Florida for 8 months, there are still so many restaurants in our area that we haven't touched! I am a TOTAL foodie, so I love exploring the ambiance of a new restaurant and the foods they offer. This restaurant was really cool and had a great outdoor area - so great that we had to be on a waiting list just to sit outside! 

Of course, a girl get's all dressed up for a night out and my husband doesn't think to take a picture of my whole outfit. I looooveeed my balloon skirt from JCrew (enter sad face!) but at least he got a picture of my new jewels from Majestical Jewelry! You guys, I have a new obsession with this store!! Everything is so affordable, and I can't get over these gorgeous baubles around my neck! 

Fried calamari is my FAV. 

So, Tyler and I love Sangria and asked for a red wine sangria at dinner. It was delicious but had whiskey in it...Is this typical for a sangria!? We are used to wine and fruit! It was totally spiked…tasted like college (this metaphor is both good and bad)! 

We about fell off of our chairs and died when we had their beignets for dessert. After 10 minutes of giggling and moaning because the powdered sugar was SOOOOOO good and the beignets were so warm, the waiter told us the chef is from New Orleans. Go figure. 

We loved these so much we considered going and buying mix to make our own. Then, we quickly ruled out that idea because we don't know how to do that (and I'm cajun…what the!?)

 Our night ended with a gorgeous sunset above the sea! I'm telling you - a new restaurant cures the marriage blues!!

I leave you with a picture of my gorgeous jewelry from Majestical Jewelry. I just MIGHT be having a giveaway on my Instagram for these beauties THIS WEEK. Stay tunnneeddddd...

Pizza By the Sea

Tyler's family came into town this weekend. It was short lived (we wish they would've stayed longer!) but we enjoyed every minute of it no less. It was our first time to really play "tour guide" and show people around this picturesque town we live in. It makes you appreciate where you live and really see a different side of it, almost as if you're taking a "stay-cation". 

The first part of the "tour" was taking them to a local pizza spot. A cute courtyard with homegrown herbs located steps from the gulf sets the tone for this pizza bar. My favorite thing to eat is the prosciutto and cheese pizza. So fresh and flavorful! I love a restaurant that aims to be unique while providing fresh food. A+ for me!

Pure pizza heaven

Are you a pizza fan? Good ole Pizza Hut or a top notch pizza place?

Fondue Recipe

Tyler and I love fondue. Is there a stronger word for love? ADORE fondue. Other than sushi, it's kind of our thing. Whether we're on a date night in town or in another city, you can always find us googling "fondue restaurant". It's no surprise that we had a fondue night this week. I bought a fondue book with recipes and I'm addicted. 

By the way, how cute is my fondue pot? It's vintage! Complete with wooden skewers in a variety of colors (and in mint condition!) This was one of my Christmas gifts from Tyler. I'm in love. 

If you love to FUN-due, here is the recipe we used for a cheese fondue. It tasted fantastic and I highly recommend trying it. We served it with pita bread, apples, carrots and broccoli.

We bought a huge (and I mean HUGE) bag of tea light candles from Bed, Bath and Beyond and scattered them around our apartment to add a touch of romance. Besides spilling wax on our new carpet, the added romance was totally...romantic!!

You can't have a date night without Netflix! My sweetest husband agreed to watch the Katy Perry documentary with me. I mean, really? What a trooper!!!

I hope you enjoyed our little date night. If you try out the recipe, let me know!

Save The Date Part 2

Yippee! Woo Hoo! Hooray! 

Our Save the Dates went out last week, and we're thrilled about 'em. We kept a vintage theme with the old fashioned lollipops and clothing since our wedding is art deco (1920's). My precious fiancé was totally cool with wearing a vintage cap, and I got my vintage dress off of Etsy. It's so precious that I'd wear it to work!

Sorry if the picture is a little blurry. We scanned it!

Wedding plans are moving along swimmingly!
