Pink is my ultimate favorite color, I guess you could say I’m a traditionalist in that stand point (pink for girls). When I found out there was a pink hotel in the cutest town (Palm Beach), I knew I had to put it on my list to travel to. So me and three of my best girl friends planned a weekend at Pink Paradise, The Colony Palm Beach. The hotel was originally decorated by a famous designer Dorothy Draper who created the original banana leaf print Braziliance. Her protege Carleton Varney keeps up with the decor and renovations today...

It’s so hot in the summer and even through some of “fall”, in Florida. Sometimes the last thing I want to eat is a hot meal. When I was poolside recently at The Colony in Palm Beach, I ordered a delicious Cobb salad and shrimp cocktail to beat the heat. This made me think of what would be some of the best salads to eat during the summer. Here is my round up of my favorites below, and if you click through to each of these fabulous sites you will find the recipes to make these at home. SUMMER...
This summer and almost every summer my favorite print happens to be palm print, or banana leaf. I just feel like it gives you all the tropical vibes, even if you aren’t laying on the beach of an island somewhere. I wanted to round up some of my favorite palm purchases this summer and some affordable items that I think are super cute and you might want for yourself. Summer isn’t over yet in FL, plus some people love taking a tropical vacay to escape the winter cold and these would make great vacay items to pack. PALM PRINT...
Well if you decided to read this post, it’s possible you already know that Vitamin C is good for you. Most of us take it orally, I seem to have my house on an Emergen-C kick this time of the year with everyone going back to school. Many people don’t realize though the benefits that Vitamin C has for your skin and I wanted to address the reasons you should incorporate it into your skin care routine. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties that play a huge role in collagen synthesis. It’s become huge that people are using Vitamin C...

Happy National Watermelon Day! When I think of summer time, I think of biting into a juicy slice of watermelon while I’m poolside, or at a BBQ. To kick off National Watermelon Day, I thought instead I would create a delicious boozy way to drink your watermelon with your gal pals. This is actually really easy to make and you can freeze your Rosé the day before in batches to make it easy to make right before you want to drink your cocktails. WATERMELON FROSÉ INGREDIENTS 1 750ml bottle of Luna Nuda Rosé 1/2 cup mint simple syrup 1/2...
Summer is in full swing and I have been spending a lot of time poolside. However, as a mom, and as someone who doesn’t like to show off their whole stomach, I always gear towards more coverage swimsuits. This is why I wanted to round up my favorite high waisted swimsuits this summer in case you too are looking for a bit more coverage. These I feel like are still cute and sexy enough where you don’t feel too old, but enough coverage to feel secure and comfortable! Also most of these are under $30!!! Black Pom Pom Bikini...

All opinions are mine alone. #MeetAcquaPanna #CollectiveBias Last summer I had the trip of a lifetime when I went to Tuscany with family and got married. After being there and absorbing all the culture and decor, it inspired me to create my own piece of Tuscany in my backyard. I love being outdoors and getting the chance to entertain for family and friends, so I created a taste of Tuscany in my backyard with our Florence style landscaping and my white and blue patio set. I even...
I always feel like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I try to cram too many things into one day and do it by multi-tasking. However, sometimes it takes a toll on me when I say yes too often because I haven’t written down my other commitments. This is why I decided to finally get myself a planner a few months ago. I wanted to really use it for a period of time and give my full review on the one that I chose from Simplified. I had heard about these planners from my...
Woohooooo the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, also known as the NSale is finally open to the public. This means ANYONE, whether you are a card holder, or not, can shop the sale. Unfortunately A LOT of items sold out the first day of early access, but don’t fret, I made sure to find super similar items for anything that did. I only ended up purchasing 6 pieces during early access because I wanted just a few basics and I am still figuring out my fall color palette. I also knew there were a few items that I just HAD to...
I love a good glass of wine at the end of the day and after going to Italy last summer, Napa has been on my list next. When planning our family summer travels, we chose San Francisco because there were so many things to do for adults and kids. Napa is only an hour drive away, so luckily we had my in-laws with us to help with the kids and my husband and I took a day to ourselves. After spending only 8 hours in Napa, I realized there is so much to do there and now I need...
