The Light Between the Oceans

The book drew me in from the first page.  I was very attached to the characters – particularly Isabel, one of the protagonists of the novel. Tom Sherbourne, Isabel’s husband, is a lighthouse keeper in Australia. Isabel lives with Tom on the island of Janus – they try to have children but have multiple miscarriages. Everything […]

Little Havana

Listen, you do not go north of Miami for the food.  But a girl’s gotta eat. (and I like good food). So the Yelp Gods worked their magic and we found Little Havana, a delicious Cuban restaurant in Aventura.  The chicharron was out of this world. Everything else was good, but did not live up to […]

Cutting for Stone

Remember when I professed my love for Howard Roark? Well, I think I’ve met my next fictional match. I just finished Cutting for Stone and it was an absolutely stunning novel. I’m beyond pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations.  Ghosh, is one of my favorite characters in a long time. He has that same […]

Good

I brunch. I brunch a lot.  So much so, some might say it’s an occupation.  So when I find a good brunch place, you know it’s good.  You know what else is great?  This place is even named Good. (I love it). I think Good had me at the pastry basket.  I’m a sucker for […]

20th Annual Street Painting Festival

On Sunday, my cousin took me to a unique street fair in Lake Worth.  I’ve seen some great chalk art in NYC, but the subjects of these paintings were so much more fun!  I think I enjoyed seeing all the Disney movies etched onto the sidewalk more than my two year old nephew.

Dip Dye

Necklace: BaubleBar Jeans: Zara Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Shoes: American Eagle I wanted to do a DIY pair of these Zara dip dye jeans and then I realized I’m lazy, and no matter how hard I would have tried, they never would have looked as good. So I did the only thing I thought […]

Otto

In my mind Kate Bosworth can do no wrong with Jewelmint. Seriously, the stuff is just too amazing for words. Sporting one of the necklaces in this post. You know how I love them statement necklaces.  Tomorrow is my last day at my job. I’m moving to a different department in my company. Although I’m […]

The Nightingale

I don’t know where to begin with this book review so I’ll start with this – The Nightingale is one of my favorite books of all time.  I found The Nightingale by doing my customary search of World War 2 fiction on Google. The story centers around two sisters in war stricken France. We follow […]

OOTD: Holiday Party 2014

1. Isabel Marant, 2. Kate Spade, 3. Chanel, 4. Stacked With Love, 5. Cole Haan I wanted to dress casually for this year’s holiday party because when I purchase fancy outfits I never wear those items again. This year I’m relying on my accessories to dress up my look. As a year-end treat for myself I purchased […]
