We have finally finished unpacking!  The house is still a bit unorganized and we're still waiting for furniture, etc. we ordered to arrive, but we're almost there!  I'll be posting pictures once it's all completed.  I wanted to dedicate this past weekend to emptying every box in our house because I was sick of looking at them so I didn't get to the beach, but the previous weekend we did make a quick trip to St. Augustine Beach.  It was later in the day so we didn't get to explore too much so we'll definitely have to go back soon.

I wore this beautiful Spell & The Gypsy Collective Mystic Playdress.  It is the perfect dress for the beach.  Since we now live near the beach again, I've been doing a lot of online shopping for beachwear and clothes for this extremely hot weather.  I also purchased the Spell & The Gypsy Collective Mystic Midi Dress and I couldn't decide between it and this playdress so I kept both, which is not something I ever do, but pink is my favourite colour and they are so beautiful I couldn't resist.  It was really hard to resist the Mystic Romper, since you know I love a romper!  I also ordered the Spell & The Gypsy Collective x REVOLVE Mystic Playdress in Turquoise, which sold out quickly, but may come back in stock.  These dresses are so flowy and comfortable to wear, which makes them perfect for Florida.

Happy shopping!

For Love & Lemons Millie Romper

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Another week has flown by!  I am still unpacking our house so we haven't had a chance to get out much, although we did make it to the beach twice in the past few days, which has been really nice.  One day last week I had to run some errands and afterward found this cute park to take the kids to.  Unfortunately it was the middle of the day so we didn't last long, but can't wait to check it out again.  I wore this cute For Love & Lemons Romper.  As you may know, I'm a huge fan of rompers.  They're so easy to throw on and go.  I love the colour.  (If you're not a huge fan of this colour, For Love & Lemons has a similar romper in white with pretty daisies.  If you love the colour, but looking for something more budget-friendly, Lost + Wander has a cute one under $100!)  My wardrobe since moving to Florida has become even more colourful than before.  I also picked up this pretty blue Faithfull the Brand Jumpsuit and this pretty mint Faithfull the Brand Top (posts to come!). 

Other colourful rompers I'm coveting:

Hello from sunny Florida!  I can't believe it's been a month since my last post!  Time has clearly flown since packing up our house and moving from SC to FL.  We love our new house and I'm especially loving all of the palm trees!  It's one of the things I missed the most when we moved from Myrtle Beach to Greenville, SC.  With everything that's been happening this year, seeing palm trees and spending time at the beach has definitely helped with stress.  We've only been able to get to the beach a couple of times in the past couple of weeks.  It's been quite stormy here, which I expected, but I've been enjoying it!

I wore this outfit the first time we headed to the beach and I was hoping to take some pictures for the blog there, but it was SO windy.  I don't know how fashion bloggers take these glamourous photos at the beach, ha!  So these pictures were taken outside of our home.  I have been wanting to wear this Spell & The Gypsy Collective Portobello Road Blouse since purchasing it months (?) ago, but don't think I have because of the heat!  But I figured it was the perfect blouse to wear to the beach since I knew there would be a breeze.  There was definitely a breeze!  I paired the Spell blouse with my favourite AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts, which I finally replaced with a new pair because I've worn them so much.  Last but not least, I broke in my new Valentino Rockstud Platform Sandals!  I've been eyeing these since I saw them on Net-a-Porter back in June and they were the first things I purchased once we moved.  I was luckily able to find my size at Farfetch since they're almost sold out everywhere I checked!  They also come in pink!  They're on the pricier side, but I found these adorable embellished platform sandals by Steve Madden that are under $70!

Happy shopping!

Happy Friday!  How cute is this Spell & the Gypsy Portobello Road set?  (Items sold separately.)  Along with the Portobello Short Robe, when the second Spell 'Blue Moon' collection dropped, I had eyes on this set.  Of course, the playdress is adorable and was hard to resist.  But I love a romper/jumpsuit, which is what a set paired together essentially looks like, but you can wear the items separately, which is a bonus!  I've been living in these pieces.  I have worn these shorts with this yellow Free People top.  They are so cute.  I love the frills.  You can throw on a basic white tee and still have a super cute 'fit (that's what the kids call it nowadays, right?).  I have also worn the Portobello blouse with a pair of denim cutoff shorts. 

Happy shopping!

We just got back from Florida where we were searching for (and found!) a house because we're moving there in just a few weeks!  I'm so excited to be moving back to the beach!  As some of you know, we moved to the States from Canada to Myrtle Beach and then had to relocate to Greenville, South Carolina.  As much as I love Greenville, I missed the beach so much.  (Although, things are much different now and going to the beach is not as relaxing as it once was.)  I wore this pretty ZARA eyelet top house-hunting, but did not get around to taking pictures because it was a very hectic week.  Plus, Florida was very busy so we did not take off our masks! 

I love an eyelet top.  ZARA is usually my go-to for an eyelet/embroidered top for spring/summer.  At the beginning of the season, I go to ZARA's site and search 'eyelet' or 'embroidered' and I know I'm going to find a top (or two!) that I'll love.  I fell instantly in love when I saw this pretty, blue eyelet top.  Unfortunately it's almost sold out, but your local store may still have it!  I love the ruffles, embroidery and scalloped trim!  Best part?  It's under $40!  ZARA has SO many pretty eyelet tops like this white poplin one with long sleeves, this white spaghetti-strap one, this cute turquoise one and this one, which I also ordered!  I just ordered this red one yesterday.  Not only does ZARA have pretty eyelet tops, I'm obsessing over this orange dress with embroidered eyelet detail!

I've noticed my recent purchases have been extra colourful lately (a lot of pink, purple, blue and even orange), but I've been really drawn to yellow.  When the second Spell & The Gypsy 'Blue Moon' drop was announced, I immediately fell in love with the Portobello Road Robe.  It's (shockingly) my first Spell & The Gypsy robe and I absolutely love it!  It'll be perfect as a beach cover up (I'm eyeing this yellow Tularosa one piece) or thrown on as a light jacket on a breezy evening.  The colours are so beautiful (a combination of my favourites) and, of course, I love the beautiful floral print.  This robe pairs perfectly with this sweet, yellow (or 'honey') Free People top, which is only $60!  (It also comes in two other colours.)  I love the cute, ruffled sleeves and keyhole closure in the back.  It's the perfect summer top!

Happy shopping!

Happy first day of Summer!  Summer is my favourite season.  I love the heat, which is why we moved from Canada to South Carolina.  Fall is a close second, but mostly when it comes to fashion, and summer being here just means fall is close by.  Unfortunately, fall doesn't start here until November or so, but I'm not complaining... that's usually when the fall sales start.  Summer fashion isn't usually as exciting, but then LoveShackFancy dropped a line for Target a couple of weeks ago!  I stayed up until 3 am, which was worth it because I was able to score 3 beautiful dresses.  (Unfortunately I think the entire line sold out, but I'd keep checking for returns or your local store!)

Last weekend I 'celebrated' my birthday.  I put that in quotes because we didn't really do anything because I'm still too nervous to eat out.  Even though we didn't go anywhere, I wanted to dress up so I put on this LoveShackFancy for Target tiered dress and it definitely felt like a special occasion.  This dress is SO pretty!  The tiered style makes you want to twirl around in it.  I love a floral print and I love the colorblocking.  It's so comfortable too.  The best part?  It was $40!
