a travel and style blog
About a year before we visited Nashville, we visited Memphis, Tennessee (I imagine most people visit those two cities in the opposite order). This was back in July 2016, nearly nine months before we started this blog. I plan on sharing some of our past trips in this space this year; I hope you don’t mind!
Normally packing for a three-day weekend is a breeze, but when you’re from Florida and the temperature at your destination is barely expected to rise above freezing, it can be a challenge. Neither Michael nor I have a well-established winter wardrobe (you don’t really need one where we live!), and I still feel like we’re …
Last weekend Michael and I celebrated Christmas early by flying north for three days to Providence, Rhode Island. It felt like fate—the airfare was in our price range, the flight times worked with our schedule, hotel prices were reasonable, and there was a little snow in the forecast (despite my family’s insistence that you always …
Christmastime in New York City is wonderful. Christmastime in New York City is also busy, crowded, and expensive. So this time last December, Michael and I sleepily boarded a 6:00 a.m. flight out of Florida with our return flight booked for 8:00 p.m. the following evening. December is peak travel season, so we spent $150 …
I’ll begin this post by saying this was not your typical New York City trip. There was no Statue of Liberty involved, no shuffling through Times Square, no trip to the top of the Empire State Building, and only one museum. It was my umpteenth time visiting NYC over the past few years, so Michael …
And I’m back! Michael and I usually try to visit New York City at least once a year, and quite unbelievably as of last week, we hadn’t been yet this year. Well, we remedied that over the past weekend and spent three days eating and shopping to our hearts’ content. This post contains affiliate links …
Over Labor Day weekend, Michael and I visited Kansas City, Missouri (you can read about what we did over the weekend here, here, and here) and had a blast! As I often do after returning from a trip, I (figuratively) open up my suitcase to share what I packed and wore each day. Attentive readers …
Recapping my first day in Kansas City, Missouri “Wait, it’s in Missouri?” Michael asked. “Yes,” I replied. “But it’s called Kansas City!” “Well, it’s in Kansas, too.” (This went on for several minutes before I finally caved and pulled out a map). Michael and I were searching for hotels for a Labor Day weekend trip, …
Last week I shared how Michael and I spent a whirlwind 36 hours in Nashville, Tennessee, and today I thought it would be fun to share everything I packed for the journey. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase (at no additional cost to you!) …
Saturday marked a special milestone for us—nine years since Michael nervously asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. My response? “I guess that sounds alright.” (Okay, maybe he wasn’t that awkward about it.) In the weeks leading up to our anniversary weekend, we began looking for flights. As I’ve mentioned before, we typically look …
