Pretty Little Bottles

After finding my first perfume bottle at Scavengers back in January, I can now officially say I have a collection. The big clear bottle was the first find a year ago. My sister Jennifer gave me the fun pink one back in May when she got married and just gave me the sleek black bottle...

Sushimoto

It was Jenny’s birthday Monday at work and we went to Sushimoto in Miramar Beach for lunch to celebrate. This place has only been open a few months and I hadn’t been yet, but I will definitely be going back. We loved our food and the decor is very clean and relaxing. The bar chairs...

Lost in the Woods

Part of spending a lot of time with a good ol’ country boy seems to be spending a lot of time in the woods and doing outdoorsy things — stuff that was way out of my comfort zone. I don’t like bugs and snakes and flat shoes and sweating unless I’m working out. Even so,...

Weekend Breakfast of Champions

We went to Another Broken Egg Cafe in Grayton Beach again last week. The breakfast/brunch selection on 30A can sometimes seem limited, especially in the winter and especially when you just want the basics. This place tends to be a frequent stop for me and I don’t think you can go wrong with the classics....

Happy Friday!

What a gorgeous day today is, following yesterday’s wet and rainy mess. I’m so glad it’s Friday and I can’t wait to enjoy the weekend! TGIF!

Fabulous Rain Choos

It’s raining and it’s pouring here at the beach! We’ve got a torrential downpour on our hands, people. How in the world are you supposed to look cute and presentable when you’re soaked as soon as you leave the safety of your house or car? I’m not sure it’s really possible. My first step is...

Purple Boots Are Made for Walking….

Well, booties, to be exact. I love these suede purple booties added to a black and white outfit. They’re a fun kick of color and are actually really comfortable, too! The price tag is even better. I found these online awhile back in Lela Rose’s special line of shoes here. The “kids these days” like...

Bye-Bye Bottles

I’ve been doing a little house cleaning lately and trying to “streamline” my stuff. In other words, get rid of the junk and keep only the essentials. That’s much easier said than done. I tend to be what some people call a pack-rat, but what I would prefer to call a “saver of mementos”. I’m...

Golden Globes Dresses

Is it raining everywhere this weekend? I love watching the red carpet and seeing what the stars are wearing. They still look fabulous despite the weather. There’s no way my hair would maintain a hairstyle with rain pouring down like that. It would be puffy and curly in no time at all! As for the...

30A Songwriters Festival – Take 2

The second night of the fabulous 30A Songwriters Festival rolled on with non-stop amazing performances at venues like Rosemary Beach Town Hall, Caliza Pool at Alys Beach, Bud & Alley’s, Fish Out of Water, Shorty’s, Stinky’s and Bluz. Here are a few of the snapshots I was able to get, despite the crowds everywhere and...

30A Songwriters Festival

The 30A Songwriters Festival has arrived! It’s so exciting to have such a big festival take place in our neighborhood and the lineup of songwriters is unbelievable! Even USA Today is talking about it here. I was out at Bud & Alley’s last night for the BMI Kick-Off Party and the place was packed! Sid...

Gravel Road Open in Seagrove!

I’m so excited! Not just because today is Friday, but also because my friend Jesse’s restaurant Gravel Road is now open in Seagrove! They’ve moved from Uptown Grayton and have taken over the old Yianni’s location here. They’ll be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner! If you’ve never tried it, I can vouch that it is...

Is it Friday Yet?

I found this lovely little tin bank at Francesca’s in Destin Commons last weekend. I think it is appropriate today….. “Every coin you drop in here shaves one minute off the clock” It even suggests swiping coins from your co-workers’ desks and pocketing coins found in the seat cushions of your carpool ride. It’s by...

Catt Keeps it Cool, Classic & Cute

I see fashion inspiration all over the place — in magazines, on tv, and from clothes real people wear. I love Catt Sadler’s outfit from tonight’s Daily 10! She balanced a tan suede H&M skirt with a classic nautical striped shirt, also from H&M. The tan Steve Madden booties blend with her legs and make...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday night started here in Destin…. with their house-made beer (raspberry for me, millenium for Hunter) and a few handfuls of popcorn…McGuire’s famous bathroom sign… a stop at Bluz in Sandestin with Beach Mice jammin’ out and enjoying a beverage in what may or may not have been a stolen Purple Haze glass. On Saturday...
