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...

Polar Vortex Hits Florida

Those aren't raindrops, my friends. That is ice…on a palm tree. Have you ever seen such?! Tyler and I were watching the Bachelor last night when a warning appeared on our TV saying "freeze warning for Walton County". We both looked at each other in amazement. "Surely, this can't possibly be for us?" we thought. Fast forward to today and what do you know. It's sleeting! I can't say I'm sad. I am a cold weather fanatic (and my Groom got to stay home from work!) This polar vortex seems to be working in our favor, after all.

Stay warm and dry!

Fondue (Again)

As I mentioned in a previous post, we had Tyler's family visit our town this weekend. We hit up pizza shops, fudge and ice cream parlors, fondue and breakfast restaurants. It was a FEAST thanks to The Weirs! Below is one of our favorite spots to eat fondue. You could call us "regulars". 

What is with my fondue obsession!?!?!

A Floral Centerpiece in 30 Seconds

I love flowers. I wish I had more of them in my home, and I'm on the verge of buying a vintage planter to stick next to the couch. In the mean time, I love adding an element of surprise when it comes to floral arrangements. Whether it be changing up the vase, throwing a bright flower in the mix or filling the vase with something quirky, I'm all for it. 

I wouldn't even call this a DIY. I would call this a cheerful, 30-second flower arrangement that I'm sure would brighten anyones day (or at least mine!) 

I saw these gorgeous Tulips and had to buy them. I filled the vessel with fruit loops (because i'm the most colorful person I know) and tossed the brightly hued flowers in the vase. Ba da bing, ba da boom! Done.  

I've seen vases filled with sprinkles, gumballs and any type of candy under the sun. You simply can't go wrong with this one. It's all about mixing and matching!

Happy Monday!

Beach Day

People often ask us if we go to the beach a lot since we live in Florida (and it's only 2 miles away). Sadly, we don't! I'm not a fan of laying in the sand and sweating during the summer. If you're a Florida resident, you get what I mean. In the summer, it's so humid here that it's basically pointless putting on makeup. But I love the beach during winter which is why we took a little detour and soaked in the rays.  Boy, was it chilly! 

I cherish these moments with Tyler.

I love vintage clothes and I feel the same about vintage styled pictures, too. I felt these pictures had a "polaroid" feel to them and I adore the simplicity of them all. I hope they take you somewhere far away today.
