admin — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:22:26 +0000

The count down is over and our much anticipated trip to Mercedez Benz Miami Swim Week is finally upon us! We have been so excited about our trip because it’s the perfect excuse to take a mini vacation with our hubbies while checking out the latest swim trends strut down the runway. In preparation for our trip, we have discovered some great products and tips to share for a smooth and stress-free packing experience. We headed back to our favorite micro-juicery in town to pick up a quick 3-Day Cleanse to prep us for our trip to the beach. As you all know, we love South Block’s juices and this cleanse was just what we needed to get us back on track and help get us bikini ready.

We have been introduced and now officially hooked on some amazing new designers, products and artists this summer. We wanted to share some of our top favorites, in case one may become yours too! 1. Zella Woods Jewelry We are absolutely loving everything about up-and-coming jewelry designer, Zella Woods. Ashley Henderson, the designer behind Zella Woods, makes personal and custom pieces that are perfect as a gift to a friend, new mother, or even to treat yourself! You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her work and it really shows in each piece of jewelry she crafts. She has a wide variety of pieces to choose from (she even does bridal jewelry!) and all within an affordable price range. We also love that she paired up with Agape Attire to collaborate on some pretty amazing cuff bracelets. “The motivation behind Zella Woods Designs is to make jewelry that people treasure like memories, pieces that speak to the individual rather than the masses.” -Zella Woods 2. Finding Mr. Righteous by Lisa DePasquale Finding Mr. Righteous is the perfect beach read! Author, Lisa DePasquale, writes about her trials and tribulations of dating men from various religious backgrounds while living and working in […]

Greek Adventure Part 2: Santorini

admin — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 13:01:43 +0000

Santorini was the inspiration for our entire trip to Greece; it was the destination that I needed to see, the one I had dreamed about. Transportation was significantly less painful than our Athens to Mykonos experience and thankfully I was able to keep my luggage with me. We always adore Starwood Resorts and had the great fortune to stay at the Vedema for three wonderful nights. The only thing better than the resort itself was the fantastic staff that made us feel at home 5,272 miles from Arlington. The Vedema is not only just a luxurious hotel with out of this world customer service and accommodations but like everything in Santorini it has incredible history. Before being reborn as a luxury resort the buildings and grounds housed one of Santorini’s largest wineries growing and fermenting the Assyrtiko grape for over 400 years. Given that history our fist order of business had to be wine tasting in the original barrel cave hosted by Vedema’s resident Sommelier, followed by a pretty glorious nap. Wearing the Tracy Maxi by Ellie Kai. I ate feta and tomatoes for pretty much every meal in Greece. Playing in the sand wearing the Sazarac monokini by Indah Clothing. One […]
