Beachcombing

Happy Thursday, darlings! Just stopping in to say a quick hello from paradise. I'm in the Bahamas at an AMAZING resort having an incredible time. On the agenda today? Not much at all. Basically hoping to comb the beaches for some gorgeous shells to add to my collection.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week and good news. It's almost the weekend!

Have a fabulous day, loves!

Paradise Bound

Hi loves!  Happy mid-week!  Hope the week is treating you well. 

I'm catching a plane bright and early this morning and heading on down to paradise.  I've been wanting to go to this place for years and years and I could be more excited! 

Sorry I haven't been able to stop by much over the past few days.  Internet is so slow in Fire Island and I'm not bringing my computer to paradise so it'll be a few more days before I'll be by.  I'll still be posting every day though and if you want to see glimpses of paradise you can follow along on Twitter and Instagram :)

Enjoy the day, sweets and I'll see you all soon!

Dreaming of Paradise

Hi sweets!  Hope you're all having a fabulous start to the week. 

Mine's been wonderful.  It's so laid back here in Fire Island during the week so I've just been basking in tranquil bliss for a few days now.  But now my peaceful state is starting to wane because excitement is taking over for the big trip to paradise tomorrow.  Can't wait to see palm trees and to swim in the turquoise sea.  As lovely as the beaches are here, nothing beats the Caribbean.

Enjoy the day, loves!

Beach Week!

Good morning, loves!  And happy Monday! Thank you all so much for the lovely bday wishes.  You're all too sweet and definitely made my day.  Actually my entire weekend!  Speaking of weekend, how was yours?

I'm still out at the beach today.  A few more days in Fire Island followed by a trip somewhere even closer to paradise later on in the week.  All in all I'll be 100% beaching it this week and you know that makes me happier than basically anything. :)

Have a wonderful day, dolls and I'll speak to you all soon!

Party Like It's My Birthday!

And that's exactly what I'm going to do!  Happy Friday, sweets!  Heading on out to the beach this morning for a long weekend of fun celebrating my the big 4-0 today.  Yes it's true, the day is finally here, but I plan on dancing the night away like a 22 year old :)

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  I'll be in and out over the next week between being at the beach house and also, I'm going on a birthday trip to the Bahamas on Wednesday!  Posting will be normal but I might not get to stop by you all as often as I'd like.  And as always, if you're interested, you can catch me on Twitter and Instagram.

Enjoy lovelies!  And I'll see you all soon!

Oh What A Night?

Good morning, lovelies!  Happy Thursday!  How's the week treating you so far?  It's been hotter than hot here in NY all week long and today we're supposed to get some "relief" meaning instead of 100 it'll be more around 85.  Funny enough that sounds cool to me these days.

Today is my last day of work for a while before heading on out for vacation.  And instead of making our way on out to the beach tonight as we normally would, we are staying in the city for some reason unbenownst to me.  Some sort of surprise but I 'm guessing we're going out somewhere to do something to celebrate the big day tomorrow.  I'm sure it'll be fun no matter what it is but I'm hoping a little bubbly is involved :)

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Loved Up

Morning loves! Happy mid week to you all. Can't believe it's already Wednesday. Seems like the week is flying by.

And this week I'm all about putting a break to the fast pace because I'm experiencing quite the fabulous one. Feeling particularly loved, blessed and just plain spoiled. Flowers Monday, Chanel shopping Tuesday {no bag yet...found what I want but still have to locate it...}, followed by a romantic dinner tonight just the two of us.  J is really going all out this year.  I'm quite a lucky girl!

Time to run off and get pretty. Have a wonderful day, sweets!

Peonies and Chanel

Good morning, sweets! Hope you're having a fabulous start to the week. I sure know I am!

J started my week of on the right foot by having a gorgeous bouquet of peonies delivered to my office to kick off bday week. They're so gorgeous, they just lit up the entire room. It was a total surprise too since my actual birthday isn't until Friday.  But this way I get to enjoy them the whole week long before heading on out to the beach and vacation.

And even more exciting is that tonight we're going shopping at Chanel, yup I said Chanel for an early birthday gift! I can't believe I'm finally getting my Chanel bag after all of these years. Lucky me! I guess there are pluses to turning the big 4-0 after all. And if this is how the 40s are starting, I'm really not minding them in the slightest.  Bring on the new decade! :)

Enjoy the day, lovelies and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Monday Morning

Good morning, loves!  And welcome to a brand new week!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

Mine was amazing.  Time at the beach house can't be beat.  I mentioned the routine last week and we pretty much stayed true to that.  Feeling nice a rested and ready to start a brand new week.  And almost a brand new decade.  It's birthday week and I'll be turning the big 4-0 on Friday.  Yikes! Well my 30s were better than my 20s and they say {whoever they are...} that your 40s are better than your 30s so I'm going into it with that in mind. :)

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful start to a beautiful week and I'll see you all soon!

Let's Go To The Beach, Beach...

Hi loves!  Today is my Friday so you know what that means, right?  Yup I'm heading on out to the beach early.

Feeling a lot better the past two days so I'm hopeful that I'll have a nice relaxing weekend in the sun.  Our days at the beach house are so predictable. Wake up late, have some yummy breakfast.  A quick step outside to the beach for a few hours.  Delicious refreshers later in the day followed by a BBQ and then a little stroll into town to see the sunset over the bay.  But trust me, it never gets boring.  I know I'm incredibly fortunate that I get to experience this as often as I do.

Hope you all have an incredible weekend and I'll see you Monday!

Keeping Calm

Good morning, loves!  And happy mid week to you all.  Can't believe we're already half way through the work week.

It's been good getting back into the swing of things but I'm trying to also take things a bit more slowly than usual as not to overdo it.  Work has been busy with lots of meetings and I've had some things to do in the evenings so I've been trying to steal a bit of quite time whenever I have the chance.

Hope you're able to find some peace today!

xoxo
