Weekend Rewind. What's in my Bag?

This weekend I got to spend in Panama City Beach, FL with my mom and dad.
Have I mentioned this is my most favorite time of the year?! Well, just in case you
forgot.... THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! :)

I love drives to the beach. Windows down. Radio turned up loud. No make up. Comfy
clothes. Maybe a hat. Flip flops. Tan skin. Everything about summer is just easy. You
don't have to think about what to wear or what to pack. I really think I should live on
the beach for a year or two. I am dying to visit Miami this summer... any takers?! Never
been before and I SO badly want to experience their culture. I imagine my fedora hat,
some short shorts, baggy off the shoulder tops, big hoop earrings, and maybe I'll grab
a tat while I'm down there. ;) A henna of course.

Anyway, here are some snapshots of my weekend. We had great weather on Friday.
Rained all day Saturday which brought in the cold and wind. It was sunny yesterday,
but just extremely windy. I enjoyed sitting in the hot tub to stay warm.


POPCORN SCRIMP!!! I love me some bite size shrimp.

Had no idea until I got down there that some of my good friends, Mallory, Austin,
and their baby girl Finley were also down for her spring break. So, they picked me up
for dinner on Saturday night and we drove over to Rosemary Beach where they were staying.
What a cute and romantic little place!!! They rented a carriage house for the week and it
is a precious little house and community.

We had dinner at Old Florida Fish House. I ordered sauteed shrimp with cheese grits.
YUMMY in my TUMMY!!! We had some crab claws and fried green maters as well.
Good food. Good company. Fun times!

Look who made an appearance at the beach.... Millie the Maltipoo!! Ha. She loved it
minus all the sand she ate yesterday on her little walk which led to her being really sick.
I was getting pretty worried. But, alas she had a good BM this morning filled with with
clumps of sand! We are good people!

Stay tuned for the What's in my Bag part of my weekend.
I got some Beauty goodies.

Have a Sunshiny kind of day!

Weekend Rewind. What's in my Bag?

It's that time again... for another edition of Weekend Rewind. I was lucky enough
to travel to the Gulf Coast of Destin, FL this past weekend with the parentals and
my friend Alison and her 2 year old Gabe. We had SO MUCH FUN!! Were not ready to come back to Alabama last night! :(

So, on the way down Thursday afternoon we stopped by Durbin Farms in Clanton to pick up
some fresh produce and I ran across some really cute clothes on clearance in their little
boutique shop. This romper was marked down and I love the print. I feel like you could even
wear it into the fall with tights, boots, and a cute jacket.


Up close view. The ruffles on top are so cute!

Sporting the Romper in Baytown Wharf with Al.


While in Baytown we popped in this cute boutique shop called Coco's. They mostly
had jewelry, handbags, and a few accessories. I grabbed this headband. Lovin it.


If you like oysters and are in Destin do yourself a favor and go to Acme Oyster House
in Baytown Wharf. I don't do raw oysters.... YUCK... can't get over the texture and slim, but
these are chargrilled and have a parmesan topping. This is the third time I have had these
oysters and I think they just get better and better! So yummy.



Posing with my oyster! :) And my romper!


On the beach!! It was such a gorgeous weekend. Perfect weather, water, food, and company!
Sportin my fedora hat that I got in Daytona last month.



So, while I was in the boutique shop, Coco's, I ran across this bag. It's by Tano... you may
have heard of them before. They are mostly sold at boutique shops. It's an Italian leather
bag that is kind of known for the glaze they put on the purses. I debated on getting this purse.
Even went back the following day to look at it one more time. I LOVE the charcoal gray color.
LOVE the edgy look and the hardware on the strap, but wasn't sold on the size. Tano
bags are larger bags. Very deep. Just felt like it looked a little too big on me. I'm still not
convinced that I won't end up ordering it online. I have been wanting a gray bag for over a
year now.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?! I NEED YOUR OPINION!! DO YOU LIKE?!
PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS!!


Have a great week!

Destin Pictures


My favorite place to celebrate my birthday in Destin, FL is Louisiana Lagniappe and this is my most favorite meal!! It is snapper with crab and shrimp stuffing in a white wine garlic sauce!
DIVINE!!


This would be the most yummy appetizer at the Lagnaippe. Mushrooms stuffed with crab meat in a butter sauce. Love me some good shrooms!!


Girls before we ate dinner.


Alison and I giving a make-over to our sweet Lonnie Bug! She's too pretty to even need make-up, but we did it for fun!



We Tried...
