I've been on the go for what seems like all of summer, so I've decided to wait to post recaps of my different trips. I'm planning on going in reverse order starting with this most recent trip: Florida.
My aunt and uncle live in Melbourne Beach, aka one of the cutest Florida beach towns ever. We go every few years because it's a solid thirteen hour drive from home. (For reference, their house is about an hour or so southeast from Disney World).
Because this was a family trip, it was pretty chill. We mostly just visited with our family and didn't go on many "adventures" besides to the beach or on the boat.
We went to the beach almost every day. It's a little different from the beaches here (I don't know if Grand Isle, LA is really the grandest of beaches).
Currently reading The Cuckoo's Calling. It's a little slow-moving for my taste, but it's okay.
Under normal circumstances, I would have just stopped reading and switched to another book by now, but anything by J.K. Rowling deserves to be finished.
(Side note, is anyone else really excited for Harper Lee's new book?)
On the Fourth of July we went out on the boat and set up next to a little island in the river.
My festive headband is from @OhHeyItsSarahJean on Instagram! She has an Etsy shop!
Paddle boarding isn't really as hard as I thought it would be, but boy did I feel it in my legs after! They were like jello! I guess it's time to get back to the gym.
Even mom did a great job on the paddle boards!
We only stayed out on the boat for a few hours before the rain came. Once we were back on land, mom and I ventured to an adorable little shop called Mica and Molly's.
It was full of Lilly Pulitzer, Vineyard Vines, Jack Rogers, KJP, Lauren James, and pretty much every other preppy brand you could imagine! Basically my favorite store ever.
My souvenirs from this trip included one of these pearl bracelets along with some Lilly wine glasses (because birthday number twenty-one will be here oh so soon).
I wanted to buy all the Lilly shorts, but settled on trying them on to get my size for the After Party Sale that's coming up!
Still wishing I could wrap my own Jeep in Lilly prints! (Flashback to the Nantucket Lilly Jeep!)
Maybe not the most flattering picture, but this was such a great day so I don't really care ;)
This was probably the most relaxing trip I've taken all summer. Lots of sand, sun, and salty sea air! And, perhaps the best part: I finally have a tan! (And I didn't even get a little bit burnt! Winning!)
Here are some of my favorite pieces that my credit card wouldn't let me get at Mica and Molly's
