I don't know about your neck of the woods, but mine has been pretty up and down with the weather. Some days are perfect for shorts and others call for sweaters. Gotta love the sunshine state for being so unpredictable, but nevertheless sunny!

I received this sweater from my mom for Christmas and I love how simple it is, yet sparkly with the rhinestones.

Paired with some white jeans and flats, makes for a perfect Sunday outfit while running errands.

But first, coffee! In my Kate Spade New York coffee cup, of course.

Hi y'all! I'm going to say this very quickly, I am officially 25 years old. Holy cow.

With that being said, I wanted to celebrate in a big way, because 25 is kinda a big deal, you know? ha jk, but not really.

I chose to celebrate this year in Miami with a few close friends. To say we had a blast, is an understatement. It was absolutely perfect.

If you are looking for a hotel in Miami, the Gale South Beach was nothing short of amazing. The staff was sweet, the food at Dolce Italian was delicious and the amenities and hotel rooms were gorgeous! My four girlfriends and I were treated like royalty!

Anyways, I wanted to keep with the "white hot" theme that Miami is known for when pulling out a 25th birthday outfit and I am in LOVE with how it turned out!

See for yourself!

The romper really is a statement piece in itself so I tried to stay simple with accessories.

The fact that my lipstick matched my nails perfectly was also a plus.

And the pretty bobbed blonde below is my bestie. Her name is also Jessica.

Oh hi there! I'm back and with a new outfit post showing off one of my recent steals of a purchase from none other than my favorite store, Target.

I fell in love with this one from J. Crew, but as a single fabulous woman living on a budget, I couldn't allow myself to drop $128 on a denim jacket.

Voila! Enter Target. For $29.99, I made this beauty mine.

My last name. Blonde. Beaches. Boston. Boys. Baseball. Beer. Besties. You name it.

Where have I been the last few weeks, you ask?

Oh, anywhere and everywhere I tell you. Allow me to catch you up with some pics. Because pics are so much more fun than words.

So I went blonder. Shocker, I'm sure. I knew it was coming. I just feel more myself as I layer in the highlights. I'm loving it.

I also took some time off. Ok, a lot of time off. I may have played hooky and also taken a vacation.

I spent some time with my little sister. Hard to believe she's only 12. She's my little mini me I tell you. My mom is in for some trouble.

The beaches in South Florida are my favorite. Especially the quiet ones. Deserted almost. Peaceful.


Then I went to Beantown. My first time actually. It was a BLAST. The city, the atmosphere, the accents and especially the people. Oh the people. So brutally honest, loud and hysterical. I think I may have just described myself as well. The whole visit just really sat well with me.


I went to Fenway, the Boston Library, Quincy Market, you name it. I walked over 10 miles of that beautiful city and I dream of the next time I will visit.

Well hey there! Happy Friday! I am beyond excited to get the party started this weekend, who's with me?

So I've actually got another concert to attend this weekend. Only this time it's Jason Aldean and Jake Owen! I feel like I can't catch a breathe but I am really loving to learn to say yes to things. I've always been one to say the words, no, but, why, well, etc. No more! It's called the yes game for a reason and life is so breathtakingly beautiful that it's time to experience it. These are the days that I am going to miss later on in life and I want to live them and enjoy every minute of it!  Again, my Saturday will include a little game time (Go Gators!), tailgating, concert and more time out on the town with the girls!


In other country news, I have purchased my ticket for the end of October to see these two gorgeous men below: Florida Georgia Line. Oh my goodness. I have seen them a couple times already this year but they sure do know how to put on a show. Just look at them, looking all gorgeous and what not. This photo is from February this year when I saw them at the county fair. Seriously, sometimes it is just not fair to be THAT good looking. Where is my good ol, American country man?


Ready. Set. Tailgate. Later gators!

I think. So it was definitely time for a change and what do you do when you feel the need for change? You do something to your hair! I called up my amazing hair stylist, Amanda, and boy did she have her work cut out for her. I wanted something fun and bouncy cut wise with lots of caramel and blonde highlights! And she did just that! It's pretty close to my natural which is kind of like a dirty blonde but I really love how it turned out. What do you think?

It's hump day already and it's Halloween!

I know you can feel the excitement in my words.

So I know you are just dying to know what I have been up to (I kid) but I plan to tell you regardless! For the past few weeks, I have been pondering the idea of coloring and cutting my hair. I have always had long hair usually light brown but in the recent few months it has been all over the grid from blonde to brown to all in between! Well my dear friends, it was time for a change! Sadly, a few months back, I got on the ombre train and had my stylist bleach the lower half of my hair...oh boy did that not go over well. So since then I have been trying to nourish my hair back to its health prior to the ombre. So when I went to the stylist last Friday, she told me it was just not possible to keep and the ends had to go. Four and a half inches of hair gone! And a dark color applied to even out the color. So I am super sad to lose the length, but it is just hair and in a few short months should grow back, right? Ha.

Don't judge on the lighting..and yes I was in the passenger seat when I took that picture! :)


















Here are a few pictures from the last few months of hair changes! The one on the right is where I currently stand. I love the color but definitely can't wait for my length back! What do you think?
