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...

Pretty Cold Sunset
The temperatures are still freezing as the sun goes down, but I braved the wind and chill to snap a few sunset pictures on the way home from work. It was just too pretty to resist!

Watercolor Florals
Sure, it’s the dead of winter and flowers in bloom are typically few and far between. They’re waiting patiently for not-so-freezing temps … until now. I say, “Why save those sweet floral prints until spring when I can enjoy them right now?” The prints this year are soft and blurry like watercolor paintings, but still...

Silky Purple Power
I think I might be in a winter rut. All my pants, coats, tights and boots are all starting to look the same and I feel like the Michelin man every time I leave the house. This isn’t supposed to happen at the beach! With all the black, grey, black, brown, black and navy I’ve...

Fire & Lights
The weather lately has been a far cry from the typical warm beach breezes and sunshine we get so used to during most months of the year. The usual activities have been put on hold — thanks to (literally) freezing temperatures — and nights inside have taken over. Heaters are on and fires are ablaze!...

I Want a Tassimo!
I was over at my friends Jason and Danielle’s house the other day and got to test out Jason’s new Christmas present – the Tassimo Hot Beverage System. It is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time and now I desperately want one of my own. This mini machine magically makes...
