CHILLY BEACH DAY

Leave a comment
This was literally the weekend to trump all weekends this year. Be it cold, warm, rain or shine, Charlie and I never pass down an opportunity to head to the beach. Charlie’s friends condo in Carolina Beach was available so we hit the road for MLK weekend to freeze our butts off and take in the beach views, from the comfort of our condo window of course, LOL. As you can see from the pics, we did stand the freezing temps for a bit before heading home in search of warm fires and the continuation of binge watching telenovela’s on Netflix. Yeah, by the way, Charlie or (as my Spanish teacher calls him) Carlito, and I are learning Spanish so we started watching telenovelas to catch us up on all the drama of latin life, LOL. 
 
In any case, thought I’d share these shots and catch you guys up on what exactly I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks. I’ve totally been slacking with my blogging these days because school and work are kicking my but. Oh, did I tell you, I’m headed to Costa Rica in May with the most amazing people in the world. I can’t wait to capture all the CR shenanigans and practice my Spanish. 
 
I hope everyone has the most awesome weekend ahead. 
 
Ciao amigas!

IN LIVING COLOR

Last long weekend until May ya’ll; and I took advantage of it. Charlie and I had an impromptu trip to Carolina Beach this past weekend. I know what your thinking, why in the world would you go to a beach in this cold weather. Well, Charlie’s friend has an amazing condo right at the beach that she always lets us stay in and it’s great to just get away from the hustle and bustle of NC living and go to quieter places. One thing about Carolina beach is that in January, you basically have the beach to yourself because it’s off season. The first day was a warmer 50ish degrees so we walked around the empty town snapping pics and found this pretty fun colorful wall, if you follow me on Insta, you know why I’m playing with the strings on my hoodie, LOL. Anyway, we shopped some of the vintage and consignment shops around town and I must say I got really lucky and nabbed 3 vintage coats for $20.00. Charlie found nothing, LOL. Vintage men’s items are hard to come by. Smaller towns have the best vintage and thrifted finds so Charlie always takes me to one when were road tripping. I just spot them on the road, he passes them up, argues with me about how we are not going to make it to our destination on time, drives several more miles in silence as I sit pouting and then he eventually gives in, makes a u-turn and stops me by the shop. Sometimes he gets out the car, other times he just patiently waits in the car and I think he’s in the car praying I’m not maxing out our credit card, LOL. 

In any case, we really enjoyed our first day at the beach. I’ll post some beach pictures soon, but first, a few pics from our trip to Belize. 

Hope everyone had a great long MLK weekend.

DOWNTOWN MOVIE SHOWINGS

If you’ve been scoping out my Insta lately then you know I’m currently buying more lipsticks, for whatever reason, I don’t know. I guess fall just gets me in the dark lipstick shopping kind of mood, who knows. In any case, Charlie and I had a jam packed weekend. We did a photoshoot for his sister and family and then made our way to Charlotte for a church service and some much needed time with family and friends. On the way back, we spotted the mostly darling vintage movie theater and we just had to stop and have our weekly photo session there before heading home for the night. We LOVE LOVE LOVE stopping through abandoned rural towns and snapping pics. There is so much history from these towns and honestly, Charlie and I could have stayed all night, but it was getting cold and we were getting hungry so we just snapped a few pics and got back on the road. 

Wondering where I got the outfit, huh? Well, I’ve linked the skirt and shoes above for your shopping pleasure. The top was a vintage find from @shopvintagebowtique. You should totally check their Instagram page out, they have some pretty amazing finds, all vintage, in amazing condition and full color and personality; you know me, the brighter the better.  

Hope everyone has a great week! I’m so looking forward to a Thanksgiving feast, yum yum. 

Till next time good people.
