It's All About that Beach, Bout that Beach

Guys!!! My gosh it has been a minute since I was last able to post on Patti Cake!  Real life got busy, and then there are the technical issues that I am dealing with, but I won't bore you with that.  Let's just pick up where we left off, shall we?  Okay!  We went to Florida!  We were on Sanibel Island to be specific.  I witnessed miraculous, glorious sunsets every night during our cocktail hour, otherwise known as the magic hour if you're a photographer.  Seriously I could not snap enough pictures during that lighting, everything looks- well, magical!  Haha!  This is one evening before going out to dinner.  I loved this outfit because it had a lil bit of fancy flair, but was still laid back enough to wear on the beach!  Also loving my Jessica Fang necklace!  I discovered her on instagram and I am delighted by her accessories!  Be sure to check her out!

Dusty Rose Trench

Hi Lovelies!!!  Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!  I was traveling/working in Louisville, KY all last week so while I would've rather celebrated at home in Nashville, we did go to our favorite restaurant in Louisville four days in a row.  The food there is so good, and so is the service.  It's a place called Ramsi's Café on the World.  By day two we were friends with all the staff and our favorite waiter, Jason.  "Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your naaaame", Cheers reference.  Anyone?  Anyway, if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend it!  

One thing I have been craving lately, (besides Ramsi's) is pastels.  There is a baby blue trench that I have added and deleted from my Forever 21 basket several times.  Finally I manned up, and just  went to the store to try it on, or see if I could find it.  The blue one wasn't there, however I found this dusty rose number and as soon as I tried it on, I knew it would be mine.  This has pacified me... for now.  ;)

 One of my favorite Nail Polishes, Deborah Lippmann: Blue Orchid 

It is a vegan formula.  Pictured above is one coat of polish so there is good color payoff.  It is a bit on the expensive side $18.00, but for me this is the perfect color of pale blue.

Peplum Hem Pencil Skirt

I recently purchased this peplum hem pencil skirt from Asos.  I loved the color and the look of it online.  But wearing it and walking around in it is a different story.  It kept riding up as I walked around for this little shoot, and bunching in not great places.  I had thought I was going to be absolutely in love with it.  Ah well, ya can't win them all.  Here are a few of the pictures that actually turned out because David had reminded me to pull it down.  I still like the look of it when it's cooperating.  The hunt continues. :)
