[missin' ole rocky top]


So I just got wind that I have four days off in a row. Off course, today is the first day and I just found out about 20 minutes ago. Basically, what could have been a four day getaway is now just going to be thoughts of what could have been. My first was, 'oh, man, I could've gone home to Knoxville.' Now, I'm not one to mope and waste my time thinking of what might have been, so I'm just going to make the most of this mini-vacation while here at my new home. BUT, I will get a taste of home by wearing some things I picked up on my recent trip to Knoxville.

I purchased this tank and necklace while on a random day trip to Market Square. We had the whole day to explore before heading to the airport, so we walked around, ate a delicious meal at Stock & Barrel, and did some shopping.

I got this Tennessee necklace at Bluetique!


This is basically a staple now, from Nothing Too Fancy.

[drunken monkey coffee]

Anyone who knows me knows I love coffee. My friends and I literally joke that I just need an IV and I'll be good to go. So when I was in Orlando, I decided to look for a local spot rather than go to Starbucks or Einstein's. What I found? Drunken Monkey Coffee. Yes, the weird name did make it more appealing to me. The place itself is very simple, with mismatched furniture and dish ware. They had a small area for a DJ to spin, and couches reminiscent of college house parties. It was a charming place with a small, simple menu of coffee and some sandwiches and snacks. If the food wasn't made in-house, it was made locally and most of it was organic or gluten free or something like that. Unfortunately, I couldn't get pictures of the place itself, but I was able to photograph my food. I had an american coffee with a baby breakfast burrito.








If you're ever looking for a low key, local coffee joint, you should definitely stop by Drunken Monkey Coffee. You won't regret it!

Happy Monday! Have a great week!

[summer fashion]

It may sound odd considering I live in Miami, but I'm so excited for summer to be here. Despite the year-round warmth, we try to still dress for the season here. So now that it's finally spring and summer is just around the corner, I can already feel the inner hippie coming out.

I don't go crazy Coachella style, but I'd like to think I become a little conservative boho. Here are a few picks I've either bought already or are on my to-do list.

grey tank

roll up shorts

slim boyfriend capris

green vest

booties
