Marco Island

This past weekend my boyfriend and I took a trip out to Marco Island, and had a really good time. I'm usually a planner and need everything to be in place weeks (even months) before, but my boyfriend is more of the second by second lets see how it goes person and the trip was his idea so I let it go.. All arrangements boarding and activities were planned on the way there (we live about two hours away) but it all came together nicely. We stayed at the "Boat House Motel" off of Edington in one of the waterfront rooms
the hotel is very small and about as "homey" feeling as it gets. We got there about  3 hours prior to the official check in time and were able to check in. The room was cute and clean for the most part, the only real complaint was that the initial sheets that were on the bed had a few stains on them (nothing gross) just a few spots here and there so we just asked for a fresh pair. 
After we were settled in we headed out to do some kayaking, having read a few reviews online we decided to go with "Marco Island Kayak Adventures." We met up with our kayak instructor Chris at the meeting point which was literally 3 mins away from our hotel ( not intentionally, we just picked a hotel then picked a kayaking company and it worked out that way) . Chris took us out in his boat to a certain point and then we got up and set up our kayaks to head out. Neither my boyfriend nor I had ever been kayaking before but Chris thoroughly explained the processed and reassured us we would be just fine. Kayaking was more physically demanding than I anticipated but fun nonetheless, at first we kayaked out to a dead end where we stopped and took pictures then we kayaked to a little hideaway beach, it was very scenic. 

All along the way Chris gave us information on the different species we came across, and was able to answer most questions we had. We had the option of kayaking to one more island but by then we were beat and decided to just head back to the boat on the way back to the boat we were lucky to see dolphins ! 
and on the dock we saw a manatee, it was a great trip. 
If you ever end up in Marco Island kayaking is a good activity to partake in. Just don't forget to bring sunscreen, wear a swim suit or at least water related clothing, water is provided by kayak adventures but it's best to freeze a bottle over night so it'll last a little longer against the hot sun.

Bistro 1902

Over the weekend I went to brunch with my bf and two of our friends to this cute little restaurant in Hollywood, Florida called " Bistro 1902". Before going we purchased groupons for $29 the groupon include either a fruit salad or yogurt and an entree for two people and unlimited mimosas (say what?? yes! )  I had french toast , eggs, and a fruit salad and my boyfriend has a crepe. Everything was delish! The french toast had a very homemade look and taste and the crepe was the perfect thickness. Our waiter was very attentive and was there every time our mimosas ran out. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely be going back. If you're ever in the area or in the mood for some brunch definitely check them out!



P.S. I totally should have taken pictures of the food to give you guys an idea, next time I will :)

Little Pink Dress

As most girls my age I am a self admitted shopaholic. I am supposed to be on a self imposed shopping ban but as soon as I saw this dress (and calculated my financial obligations) I knew I had to have it! I purchased this dress yesterday from a dd's discount close to my house for a whooping.... (wait for it) $11.00 ! This was a deal I could not pass up. The dress is a 100% Polyester and feels and what did it for me the light pleating and the overall sexy sophisticated look of the dress. I will be wearing this dress to work and so I will need to cover up the top to make it work appropriate. I tried pairing it with a light denim jacket which gives it a really cute girly look and I also paired it with a black leather jacket which gave it a little more of a rocker chic look. I'm still on the fence about what shoes I'll be pairing it with, but once I do i'll be posting pictures of the look :)
