I’ve heard it said that the art an artist creates is a window into their soul. If that’s the case, there are a lot of people in St. Petersburg (Florida) with some very colorful, happy souls. They have an art scene unlike any other I’ve seen, and I’m not just talking about the indoor art… Continue reading STREET ART: The Soul of the City

Flowers and flowy dresses should be the fashion staple of summer. They are fun, colorful and perfectly breezy on a hot day.

A recent visit to Sunset Key, off the coast of Key West, was this time for me. I know I’ve… Continue reading On Island Time
We have been having unusually warm weather in the Midwest lately, and it has been GLORIOUS! Who doesn’t love sunny 70 degree days, especially in February, especially in Chicago. That rarely happens even by April! As much as I love my coats (we all know my obsession), this tease of nice weather definitely has me itching for warm… Continue reading No Fringe About It
If you live in the Midwest like me, or anywhere that experiences a true winter, you probably would agree that by the end of January you are in major need of some steady sunshine and a little weather warm up. Luckily for me, my parents winter in Florida, so I have a great reason to… Continue reading A Little Mid-Winter Getaway
I just got back from a week in paradise, and could not have enjoyed my trip more.That week in paradise was actually not too far away, in Islamorada in the Florida Keys to be exact. I mentioned in a previous post that my parents “winter” in Florida, and I’m lucky that while there, they split their… Continue reading Palms of Paradise
As I type this, I am on my way to Florida again. I know, I know it’s such a rough life I lead! Between my job which takes me all over the country and the great places I get to go to visit my family, I am one lucky lady. You won’t hear any complaints… Continue reading Destined for Destin (Florida, that is !)
