Florida Floral

Hello there, Happy Monday! Sorry for being MIA last week… It was nice to be (almost) unplugged for a few days on vacation in Naples, Florida! I briefly checked email/tweeted/instagramedย from my phone, but I didn’t get on my computer at all. A very nice break! ๐Ÿ™‚

Three of my girlfriends and I went to Naples for Spring Break two years ago with a larger group and we’ve been itching to go back! We got in to Florida early on Wednesday morning and laid by the pool most of the afternoon, even though it was overcast. The forecast was calling for thunderstorms every day of our trip, but we only got hit with clouds on our first day. We had perfect weather the last three days! No complaints here. ๐Ÿ™‚

On Wednesday night we dined at Tommy Bahama’sย in Naples. I had the Ahi Tuna and a Pineapple Jalapeno Mojito and both were scrumptious!

Ellen wore this dress to dinner a few weeks ago and I knew I was going to have to buy it, too! I absolutely love the floral print. Thanks for the inspiration, El! ๐Ÿ™‚

Outfit Details ::ย Dress: H&M (similar style here)// Sandals: Aldo // Clutch: Jason Wu for Target // Bracelet: Borrowed from Ellen // Necklace: Nordstrom – Cara Accessories // Toes: Essie ‘Trophy Wife’ // Nails: OPI Gel Color ‘Strawberry Margarita’

Sara and I were goofing off while trying to think of “new poses” for outfit pictures and decided we should get a picture of me trying to kick my heels together. We weren’t successful…

And here’s a picture of the group after dinner….

Sara, Ellen, me, and Jo!

    How cute is that clutch!? Can’t believe it’s from Target! I haven’t seen anything from the Jason Wu for Target line — shame on me.

    Oh dear God:

    1. The second “kicking” photo is my favorite. I am DYING over here!!!! Hahahaaa amazing. Could you imagine if I tried to do that when photographing myself?
    2. That dress is AMAZING! Cannot believe it’s H&M. I may have to venture there after work tomorrow… Damn it.
    3. You didn’t use your computer the entire week? Girl, please teach me how to vacation. I don’t think I know how.
    4. You look a-mazing!
    5. Welcome back! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love this dress so much I’m going to order it! What size did you end up getting not sure if I should size up from my regular small to medium since H&M is known to run smaller, what do you suggest?

    Thanks~!

      At H&M, I fluctuate between a small and a medium, depending on the piece. My dress is a Small and it fits just fine. Hope this helps!
