I must be going crazy. Anyway, we're back on track now and we can get on with this week's blog post. After our recent trip to Destin, Florida, I wanted to talk about why I really love the beach and what makes it such a happy place for me.

Making the Most of the Last Summer Days

How are you doing on this fine Sunday?  I hope you've had a great week!  I am trying to savor my last weekend before the semester begins tomorrow...I have to admit, I'm not entirely looking forward to it.  I know it will be a lot better once I'm into the swing of things though, and this is the last semester of my undergraduate degree, so I need to make the most of it!

Anyway, on to the topic of this week's blog post.  Let's talk about making the most of the last few moments of summer.  Where I am, we'll most likely have at least another month of warm weather.  While I am 100% ready for fall, I'm still thinking of all the summer outfits I need to squeeze in before it cools down.  Below is my list of summer pieces you need to wear before it's too chilly!

Step Out of Your Closet Comfort Zone

How are you all feeling on this sunny Sunday morning?  I hope you're feeling confident and a little experimental, because I've been challenged by Dia & Co. to 'face my fashion fears', and I think you should too!  They've challenged me to wear an outfit/clothing item I might not normally have the confidence to wear, so I've decided to show a little more skin, wear some gorgeous colored sunnies, and some oh-so-badass boots.  

This outfit featured a couple out-of-my-comfort-zone elements.  I thought I might feel a little self-conscious wearing this, but instead I felt quite the opposite!  Wearing this gorgeous outfit has surprisingly made me feel more empowered.  The boots made me feel badass, the v-neck dress made me feel pretty and feminine, and the sunnies were of so cool.

Find Your Perfect One-Piece

How are you all doing this week?  I hope you're enjoying summer weather and doing some fun summer activities.  I definitely haven't been out in the warm weather as much as I should be (as you can tell from my pasty skin), but this day seemed like a great opportunity to take advantage of the pool.

Since this summer is all about the one-piece, I thought I would find one I love and then help you find the right one for you too!

My Holiday Packing Tips

I hope you can forgive me for missing last week's post.  I was travelling to visit family, and wanted to focus on them for a couple days.

This week, I am in Dublin, Ireland!! I thought it was appropriate to talk about my tips for holiday packing!  As a frequent flyer back and forth from England, visiting family, I've learned quite a bit.  Typically, airlines restrict you to a certain weight and number of bags when travelling, but with my tips you'll have room for everything you need, including space for all your purchases.  As per request, here's the tricks I've learned over the past seventeen years.
