Travel Diaries: Don’t be Crabby

I bought this shirt from H&M a few weeks ago before I had even booked my vacation. I had planned on just holding on to it until the summer, but it was the first thing I packed after I planned my trip. It has such a breezy vibe to it, it’s the perfect top to wear to a beach side dinner.

The weather in Naples was so amazing. We spent most of our time at the beach, which was perfect. The sun was hot but there was a constant breeze which made the heat seem bearable. That is ideal weather, isn’t it?

The decor is like everything Shabby Chic you absolutely love in Home Goods, put together in a very neat fashion from DIY chalk boards to antique wood tables. It is so charming! We also swear their food is magic. We both ordered french toast, hers with fruit, mine with cannoli cream filling…. I was on vacation, don’t judge me. We ate almost everything and didn’t feel stuffed, ya know? Like I didn’t hate myself after I scoffed down 3 slices of thick french toast smothered in cannoli cream. We loved it so much we went back the next day. This time we opted for the donut holes appetizer and both ate something a LITTLE healthier. The donut holes are reason enough to visit this place, promise! Here’s another gorgeous photo of my cousin! (she’s probably mad at me for posting these, haha, but she’s beautiful! Love you, Moll!)

Travel Diaries: Part Uno

So remember my last post when I said I needed to get away for a little mental vacation? Yeah. Totally did that. My cousin and I jet set off to warmer temperatures for a quick (WAY TOO QUICK) girls weekend! I think I must have been a flower in a past life because the sun light literally awakens me! It was exactly what I needed.

I seemed to have inherited the worst things from my mother’s side of the family. She is Greek, Italian, and Irish. I got the Greek hair, Irish skin, and Italian temper. Lovely. Just lovely. I would have loved Italian and Greek skin, with the Irish luck (and drinking ability, no such luck, obviously). You would think after days of doing nothing but baking myself under the hot sun I’d have at least something to show for it.


IMG_4006 So right before I left for vacation, literally right before…the day before, I remembered that my two puppies ate my favorite pairs of sandals at the end of the summer. Awesome. So I ran to Target to see if they had any summer footwear on stock. Much to my surprise, and delight, they had a TON of sandals and flip flops on clearance, PLUS an extra 50% off. I got a pair of flip flops for $.88 guys. 88 CENTS! Say whaaat? Cray. These sandals were only $7. I love me a good deal!  IMG_4010

This little dock was one of my cousin’s favorite places (her family has owned a condo down here for years, this is like her second home…literally). Her Grandfather also loved this spot. We sat out here for a while and looked at all the wild life. There was a giant turtle bobbing along below us that was just adorable. By the way, how beautiful is my cousin? Girlfriend has a gift for getting the perfect accessory shot, as seen above. haha!
