    #fbf Walking on a Jetty

    August 28, 2020 /

    I thought of this photo when I was playing Taylor Swift’s “Hoax” on repeat a few weeks ago. Lauren (the professional photographer I work with once in a while) took this photo of me while I was walking on the jetty in Asbury Park two or three summers ago. Anyway, the song is definitely a mood, but I love it. The following lines in particularly make me think of this photo: “Stood on the cliffside, screaming give me a reason Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in” A little sad and slightly depressing, sorry! But, kind of fitting for my first week back to work in less than…

    #fbf Seaside Stroll

    August 7, 2020 /

    I met up with Lauren yesterday for a late summer photoshoot and we got so lucky with the weather. It rained in the morning, was cloudy for most of the afternoon, and then the clouds parted and it was a beautiful evening. The same thing happened during our summer photoshoot at a small beach last year, when the photo below was taken. It poured the first half of the day and then became a gorgeous evening. With my summer break winding down, I thought it was a good time to share this throwback photo. ““The ocean is everything I want to be. Beautiful, mysterious, wild, and free.” — Unknown

    Warm Saffron Smocked Jumpsuit

    September 9, 2019 /

    Monday again and this time a full week of work since last week was just a 4 day week. I’m hoping to get the ball rolling on my multiple home projects this week so I can start to see an end in sight – even if it’s in the distance. I don’t mind if things take a while to get done as long as I know they’re getting done, if you that makes sense. The weather here has been really nice. Not hot, but not cold. Just really pleasant. I think we’re supposed to get some rain this week, but hopefully it’s nothing too bad. This smocked jumpsuit is the…

    Green Playsuit

    August 11, 2019 /

    Playsuits are basically rompers, but when I think of playsuits I definitely think of more night out on the town type rompers. When I saw this green playsuit on the Princess Polly website I thought the details looked so pretty and it looked so comfortable. Plus, it’s green and you know that’s my favorite color! When I saw how pretty the playsuit was in person I knew I had to include it in my evening beach photoshoot with Lauren last month! Playsuit: Princess Polly (here) | Sandals: Steve Madden via DSW I love the fit of this playsuit and the tie straps help to customize the fit. The shorts have…

    Happy Friday! Any exciting plans this weekend? My weekend is shaping up to be pretty busy and then I leave for vacation early Tuesday morning, so lots to do. As always, I’ll take you along with me on my trip and post about things I’m doing/did, food, etc. in real time on my Instagram stories and here on the blog on a few days delay. But until the travel posts start, I’ve got a lot to share. Today I’m sharing another Flashback Friday, #fbf, and this one is from just a few weeks ago.

    Floral Co-Ord Set

    August 30, 2018 /

    I love the look of co-ord sets and I’d been wanting a set for a while. A lot of them are crop tops though and I wanted to find something with a top that was a little longer. This set is so cute and comfy. I love the light pink color and the floral print. The top is still a bit cropped, but it’s not nearly as short as the ones I usually see. The shorts have an elastic waistband and go up on the sides a bit. I wore them a little higher on the waist than usual just so they could meet the hem of the top a…

    Photo Challenge: Story

    March 16, 2018 /

    We made it to Friday! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Story” and I wanted to find a photo of mine that told a visual story but at the same time made you wonder what the real story was. I took this photo in November when on a field trip with some students on a beach clean up trip. We went to Island Beach State Park for a few hours and the rangers provided us with gloves and garbage bags. Upon walking on to the beach it looked pristine, empty, and beautiful. But once we started digging a bit under the top layer of sand we found…

    Photo Challenge: Weathered

    January 19, 2018 /

    For last week’s photo challenge, “Weathered“, I really wish I had a photo of a building or item that looked really weathered. Like a rusty bike or something. But I didn’t have time to look through all my photos and nothing was coming to mind. So I’m not loving the photo I chose today, but I’m not hating it either. I took this photo over the summer while at the beach (Long Branch Beach) with family that was visiting. This photo of rocks by the shoreline constantly has the waves crashing against it and having water run over it. And I’m sure when the tide comes in it’s covered or…

The Do-Over by @lynnpainterkirkle follows high sch The Do-Over by @lynnpainterkirkle follows high school junior, Emilie. Emilie is smart, friendly, and always follows the rules. Having divorced parents that fight more often than they pay attention to her, Emilie has lived her life trying to be highly organized and never cause any problems. She plans the perfect Valentine’s Day for her and her bf, Josh, but the entire day is a disaster and includes finding out Josh is cheating. Wanting nothing more than for February 14 to be over, she is not happy to find out she is living in a time loop and every morning is Valentine’s Day all over again. After multiple repeat days with nothing changing, she decides to have a DONC - Day of No Consequences - where she will do and say whatever she wants. Going along with her on the DONC? Her grumpy chem partner, Nick. 💗📚🗓️

I loved this book! It was so adorable. Emilie was such a good character and I loved all the days she spent with Nick, even if he didn’t remember. Such a cute book! My full review is on the blog ✨📖

I like reading a good thriller every once in a whi I like reading a good thriller every once in a while, but I don’t naturally gravitate towards them. So when I tell you I was hooked on Dark Obsessions by @marie.sutro , it’s a big deal! 📖

Dark Obsessions is the second book in the Kate Barnes series, but can be read as a stand-alone. While Kate is on leave from the San Francisco Police Department, she goes to a small town in Washington State to try to get some closure with her estranged mother. While there, a gruesome murder is discovered and the sheriff asks Kate to help him investigate. Their investigation uncovers an ever larger and more sinister crime ring. 🕵🏻‍♀️

The story was so good and I loved Kate and Tony (the sheriff). My only critique is that it was a little long, but that didn’t stop me from reading because I needed to know the ending! My full review is on the blog ✨

Finale was a great ending to the Caraval series. I Finale was a great ending to the Caraval series. It picked up right where Legendary left off and I loved being back in the magical world of Caraval ✨. 

The Fates have been released from the Deck of Destiny and the worst of them all - The Fallen Star - has taken Scarlett. Now they need to all work together to save Scarlett. I loved the book! I just wish I could’ve spent more time with Tella, Legend, Scarlett, and Julian!! 💖😍📚My full review is on the blog ✨
