I bought this fringe beach umbrella a few years back and have been using it every season. I recently added a set of matching chairs to my setup and now you can copy the same look at a fraction of the price. This classic white umbrella and wooden chair look can be found at several...
Some days are so crazy and some weeks so busy that there’s seems to be no time to pause, reflect or even stand a chance at making it all the way down that lengthy to-do list. Throw in the annoying head cold that everyone seems to be passing back and forth and, well, it gets...
Some weekends start with a bang and are so action-packed you can hardly catch a breath cramming in one thing and another before you realize it’s 10 pm Sunday night and you have accomplished exactly NOTHING. (Maybe that’s just me?) Luckily, this weekend wasn’t like that at all. It was laid-back, relaxing, and full of...
While Hunter and I were in Tallahassee watching our Seminoles play, his mom Michele took Emery to the beach for the annual Coastal Clean-up. One little girl was so excited to see everyone doing their part to pick up trash, throw away garbage and help keep our beautiful beaches just as pretty as they should...
Happy Fourth indeed! I LOVE celebrating Independence Day! Red, white and blue infiltrates every avenue and the perfectly crisp and patriotic color palette looks sweet as can be on everything from food to fashion to the night sky. Navy and red become favorites and stripes…. oh stripes. I can’t get enough! I love finding spirited...
What a busy day at work! At least busy days fly by and at least busy days end with skies like this one over the bay. Seems a little harder to complain, huh?
St. Lucia was fabulous!! It was wonderfully relaxing and romantic. The beach was pretty and the people were all so nice. For the most part, we were just bums, going from the beach to the pool to the bar to eat and to sleep. It was great. The only picture I didn’t get was of...
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!
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!
As much as I’ve been complaining about the dreary Seattle-like weather we’ve had at the beach lately, today has been one of the nicest days in a long time. It’s the middle of December but the sun is out and the temperature is in the 60s. Just gorgeous! Wish you were here….
Our little area, the Florida Panhandle Beaches, was named one of the Top 10 Destinations of 2010! It’s so exciting! The only other US destination listed is the Big Island of Hawaii. People are starting to catch on to what we’ve known all along. Here’s what they had to say about our neck of the...
Today’s weather was a little blah with grey skies and clouds, but yesterday was one of the best beach days we’ve had yet. I even found a new suit at Tar-jay, which was only $30 for both pieces. (It looks a lot better with a tan.) I’ve been on the lookout for a cute bandeau...
The doggy and I started on our walk with dark skies and a few sprinkles, hoping we could beat the rain. Just look at the clouds in this pic of Eastern Lake. We kept going and lucky for us, by the end it was clear and sunny! What a gorgeous January beach day!
Sure, the temperature was below freezing this morning, but from this picture you’d never know some people were forced out of their flip flops. The beach looks beyond gorgeous! Anyone ready for spring?
It’s official. This is where the cool kids go. Southern Living’s January issue includes their Reader’s Choice Poll for favorites of all things southern, including one of the most important categories — the Best Beach. Destin and the Emerald Coast made it on the list with the #1 and #4 spots as the best place...
