Five Friday Favorites: 4th of July Edition

Friday, July 4, 2014

I'm so glad I got to spend this time in Daytona with Kyle before I leave for Europe. It's going to be hard to be in another country, across the ocean, and not able to text or call as easily because of time changes. But it's only for about two weeks, so we will survive. Any way, here is what went on this week!

1. I'm a sucker for clouds, and while Kyle and I were walking around The Pavilion Shopping Center before our movie, I spotted this formation in the sky. SO COOL! I think in another life I was a weather girl :)
2. Kyle and I drove around Winter Park, FL (near Orlando) for a bit the other day. I'd been wanting to check out the area for awhile, because that's where a lot of the interior design firms I have my eye on are located. I wanted to see if it's a nice area, how fast I could get there from the Port Orange area, etc. The result of our investigations? It's such a lovely area! We walked around this little Park Ave/Downtown area with all these great shops (Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma-- I was in heaven!) and restaurants. It was so hot outside, but it was so fun! Definitely an area that would be fun to work in post-graduation.

3. I went to the St. Augustine Outlets while Kyle was on an overtime shift, as detailed in this post, and I had a hard time deciding what color of shoe to buy at Nine West! (I went with the ivory.)


4. Nothing is better than a little beach-side reading! 

5. And, last but not least, Happy 4th of July! Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country, past, present, and future! I'd also like to shout out to all the other public service men and women who don't get to spend holidays like this with their families, including police, doctors, nurses, EMT's, and of course firefighters (Kyle has to work today too). Their service is crucial for our society to function on a daily basis. I hope y'all enjoy your day spent with family & friends!
