Key West Travel Review
Good morning readers, as promised I am sharing a Key West Travel Review from my recent girl’s getaway with Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely. We stayed in a beautiful, lifestyle room at the Gates Hotel Key West about five minutes outside of the busy downtown area. I would describe the hotel as road trip motel meets contemporary-chic with it’s white-washed wood floors and walls and the gorgeous modern art in every room.
Scroll through this post to see the full Instagram round up from my trip and read more about the our trip at the bottom of the post!
The souvenir shop right by Cuban Coffee Queen was probably one of our favorite spots because of all the colorful buoys and the Key West greeting wall mural.

Packing Tips: The tip I’m about to give you may be the most important tip of your entire Key West trip: DO NOT OVERPACK! They literally will not let you on the plane! Yes, you read that right! We got turned away at the Delta check-in desk because we had too many suitcases. Apparently, you’re only allowed one checked bag because the planes that fly into Key West’s airport are super small and the extra weight would throw off the balance. Scary thought, right? Anyway, we had to completely reschedule our flights for the following day so that we could go home and condense our bags!

Key West Highlights
Favorite Restaurant: Hogfish
I’ll definitely be back for: more fish tacos! Just kidding! Well kind of… I really do need to go back for their epic sunsets that we just so happened to miss everyday! Bummer I know! I’ll also be back for more Key Lime Pie on a stick!
Least Favorite Part: Giants lizards & the insane heat and humidity!
Coolest Part of Gates Hotel Key West: The fact that they have a food truck instead of regular restaurant! I’m also obsessed with their white washed walls, floors and modern decor!
Best Advice for Key West Tourist: Wear SPF, drink plenty of water, wear a hat and your walking shoes! Oh and don’t even bother trying to look nice because trust me…it won’t last a second in that humidity. Just go to enjoy yourself and have a good time!

Dominican Republic Vacation Review
Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the 4th of July holiday! Today, I’m finally sharing my Dominican Republic Vacation Review! As most of you know from previous posts, I recently stayed with my family at the Paradisus Palma Real Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. If you follow me on Snapchat, then you got to see how absolutely beautiful the resort and beach views are during my little daily tours! Not only is the place breathtaking, but the customer service is impeccable and the food is surprisingly delicious. I say surprisingly because every time I hear all-inclusive, I immediately think mediocre, but these restaurants far exceeded my expectations! Even the buffet selection didn’t disappoint. My favorite restaurants that we dined at are: Fuego, Vento, the Hibachi restaurant and one of their VIP restaurants called Olio.
Scroll through this post to see the full Instagram round up from my trip and read more about the resort at the bottom of the post!

Your Questions Answers:
Were there any iguanas? I was actually pretty relieved that I didn’t see any! Not to say that there are no iguanas in Punta Cana, but I didn’t hear of any on the resort grounds.
Are the rooms nice? Y’all….were the rooms nice?! My room was maybe one of my favorite parts! I’m kind of big fan of room service and they offered 24 hour room service! I’m also a huge fan of relaxing baths and let me tell you that you could probable fit 8 people in that bathtub. That sounds weird when I read that aloud, but you get what I mean! The tub was huge and had a perfect new of the TV! Now that’s what I call vacation! lol I literally took 3 baths a day!
Any complaints about the service or the resort itself? Fortunately, we didn’t run into any issues except I will warn you that I got attacked by mosquitos! So bring bug spray! Also, when I say it’s hot in Punta Cana, I don’t think y’all realize quite how hot! I don’t think I ever cooled down, but most of the time you’re enjoying yourself so much that you forget about the heat!
Did you go on any excursions, do you have any recommendations? Ok.. so I’m not really the best person to ask because I’m a big scared cat and won’t scuba dive or even snorkel so I didn’t participate in any of those events with family. However, the resort did offer really fun activities like paddle board fitness classes and underwater spin classes! I did the underwater spin class and had a blast while also getting in a work out. Speaking of working out, they have a fantastic fitness facility in which I managed to hit up every day that I was there! I mean you’ve got to when the food is that good!

Striped Tunic For Travel
Happy Saturday everyone! We finally made it to the long weekend, but before we get to partying and stuffing our faces with BBQ chicken and hot dogs, I’ve got one more look for you! A summer holiday travel look of course! I’m actually not doing any traveling for the 4th of July, but I recently wore this striped tunic while recently traveling to Dominican Republic. I wanted to share it with you because it’s such a great year round wardrobe staple and I especially always wear it or pack it when traveling in the summer.
Scroll through this post to see how I styled this striped tunic while traveling to Dominican Republic last month. Also, make sure to read the size reference and travel bag review and the bottom of the post.

Size Reference: I am about 5 ft and normally wear a size small (2-4) and I wearing a small in this striped tunic. Since I am fairly petite in height, I can get away with wearing this striped tunic as a dress. However, some of you taller gals may need to layer a pair of shorts beneath to help avoid any potential embarrassing moments.
Travel Bag Reviews
Mark & Graham Leather All Nighter: Not only is the All Nighter a gorgeous leather bag, but it’s also a durable and extremely well made. Plus you can have it personalized with your initials and it comes quite a few colors with matching toiletry kits and bag tags.
Bric’s 21″ Spinner: This spinner trunk is just as beautiful in person. However, I think the price is a bit steep when it comes to checked luggage considering how bags are treated in baggage claim. BUT I do think the carry on size is worth the price for someone who travels on a regular basis.
MZ Wallace Metro Backpack: I literally never leave town without this thing! The Metro Backpack is super lightweight and easy on the shoulders with plenty of pockets for origination. Oh we can’t forget about the whole convenient hands-free aspect of carrying a backpack!

Blue Floral Maxi Dress
Good morning readers, we’re almost to the three day weekend, but before we get there I’ve got one more blue beauty for you. Yes, another blue floral maxi dress. I know I’ve literally only featured blue looks on the blog for the past three days, but what can I say? I love me some summertime blues and this blue floral maxi dress is no exception! I came across this floral maxi dress while looking through ModCloth’s newest arrivals and my eyes were immediately drawn to it. However, I had no idea how much I would truly love it until I tried it on. The colors are so beautiful and vibrant and the empire waistline flatters any figure!
For sizing reference, I’m wearing the small and I’m usually a 2-4. I tried on the XS first because I’ve been working out a lot lately, but yea, I’m definitely not there yet! LOL I couldn’t even zip it halfway. So I recommend sticking to your normal size for this dress.
