Happy Monday my loves! I hope everyone had a nice weekend celebrating with their loved ones or being spoiled accordingly. My mother was up in New Jersey with my sister who is a momma of three. My weekend was spent researching all the places we are going to frequent when we jet off to Greece! I will have so many details for you because y’all know I am thorough. Linking up with Biana and Meghan for their Weekending Update!
The weekend got started off with lots of work with this space of mine over here! There are so many new projects in the works over here you will definitely have to stay tuned! I got a new lens for my camera…..it was totally warranted I don’t want to miss a single picture over there. I have been playing with it non stop since I got it. Even shooting on manual mode exclusively, big time over here.
Picked up a few fab finds at Trader Joe’s like this gem. Fabulous, highly recommend. Side note it’s so hard to walk out of there without fresh flowers right?
We headed out to a friends birthday on Saturday night and blogger fail didn’t snap any pictures. Guess you know that’s a great time then right?
There has also been a ton of work on the Pinterest page as of late. Are you following me on Pinterest? Lot’s of revamped boards definitely the time to check it!

I will leave you with more gorgeous Florida living sights.
Make sure to check back tomorrow on 5 items guaranteed to sell out! Hope you are having a fabulous day! xoxoxoxo

Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says
Ohhh, fun a new lens! I’m currently researching fancy pants cameras as I hope to get one for my birthday (not until October… Just want to make sure I’m getting a good one!) I’m so excited for your trip to Greece – we went to a Mediterranean restaurant last night and I thought about how you’ll be eating that well your whole trip. Yum!

Framboise! I always forget about that, but it’s such a delicious treat! What lens did you get? I’m always lost at which lenses to purchase! Hope you have a great Monday! xo
Lyndsay says
Um, how have I not been following you on pinterest??? That raspberry lambic is so good, haven’t had one of those in such a long time. Need to remedy that this week.

Yay for a fun night out with friends, sometimes I think it’s better to not take any pics and just enjoy yourself! Will definitely check out your revamped Pinterest! :)
Jaelan says
I can’t WAIT to see photos from your trip! I’m totally jealous of your new lens. I really need to get on the research, myself. It’s time to buy a new one for our Nikon.

Caroline D (Virginia Sweet) says
That wine looks divine!!!
Kate @ Green Fashionista says
Isn’t Florida one of the most beautiful places (at least here in the U.S.) to live? I feel that those of us who grew up in the north appreciate it so much more! And yes it’s impossible to walk out of Trader Joes without fresh flowers (and wine and cookie butter!).
Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says
Having a cocktail with a beautiful sunset on the water is the perfect way to relax! I’ll have to check out that beer from TJ’s. It sounds really good!
Caroline says
Love those Florida living photos! :-) I also 100% agree with you on Trader Joe’s and flowers. Every time I go in there I stop and look at all of the flowers. While I also try to remember what else I needed haha. They have awesome flowers though for a great price!! Like screw going to a florist, just go there!! Haha. Have a lovely day my friend! :-)
Erin LFF says
Yay! What new camera lens did you get?! :) I just upgraded my camera last month and I’m having so much fun with it!
Mia @ MakeMeUpMia says
That beer, YUM! I would love that.
Bri @ My Life As... says
Those flowers are gorgeous! Enjoy your new camera lens. No pictures is definitely a sign of a good time.
Elise @ High Heels and Glittering Eyes says
LOVE Framboise! Excited to keep up with all of your changes. You just keep setting the bar higher and higher :)
Nadine says
That is one of my absolute favorite lambics!!!! It is my go to at World of Beer when I am not sure what I am in the mood for. I deleted a bunch of pins and random boards this weekend too! Hope you have a great week!
Owen Davis says
GIVE ME that martini and sunset. How about I just come live with you… sound good?! Xoxo
Kristen says

I love that beer! And no, it’s not possible to get out of TJ’s without flowers. Or cookie butter. Sounds like your weekend was lovely! Have fun with your camera! =)
Tiffany | A Touch of Grace says
New camera equipment is the best! Love getting new things! I can imagine that researching for Greece has to be so much fun! So many great things to see there!

I really need to invest in a camera already! I took most of my vacation photos on my phone! I realize when I am not blogging regularly I take way less photos of my life!
Helene says

Meghan @ Champagne & Suburbs says
I desperately need some time with my camera. I want to learn to shoot on manual so badly. I can’t wait to see all the awesomeoness in the works for your blog and your Greece trip! You are seriously a rockstar. xo

~ Carmen ~ says
A sunset like that is irresistible. :]
Rachael says
I love this! And I love revamping pinterest boards, why is it so fun? Also I went to my first Barre class yesterday and thought of you <3
Amy @ The Crazy Wise Woman says
The Lambic is one of my favorites. Try mixing it with some Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout for a delicious chocolate raspberry beer… yummmm
Alyssa says
I am such a sucker for fresh Trader Joe’s flowers too! They are so cheap and so lovely– and they really brighten up the house :D
Jenna @ A Savory Feast says
Aren’t Florida sunsets the BEST? And I’m a huge Trader Joe’s fan, too. Last week we went there for date night and picked up some wine and dessert.
caitlin @Candyfloss&Persie says
wow, does Florida ever look nice!!
Svetlana says
Props to you for going the all manual route with your camera! I could definitely use more practice but it is oh so easy to switch on the automatic settings. And I am loving your Pinterest! – Svetlana @ Life with a Side of Wine
kathy at real talk says
well that was weird. your feed and all of your posts just showed up on my reader all at once. i was wondering why nothing was appearing from you in a while since i know you post frequently.
anyway – new lens!!!! i’ve been dying to get a 50mm for my camera but i don’t know if i can spend $300 on a single lens given how often i forget my camera at home or never bother to take pictures when i’m out but 50mm lenses produce amazing shots.
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
New lenses are always fun and little overwhelming! But manual mode is the way to go!
Stephanie @ ChalkSouthernToMe says
Trader Joes is one of my favorite places, I can never walk out of there without flowers and a new bottle of wine! Xo, Stephanie
