What a magical day we had yesterday at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Sofia was twirling around in her beautiful princess dress and posing for all the photos! We rode on Prince Charming's carousel and went under the sea with the Little Mermaid.
We will always be a Disney family but we have become curious to the other theme parks around Orlando and also by us in the Tampa bay area. We want to go check out Busche Gardens theme park, so I'll keep you posted on that visit when it does happen.
We also want to go back to the Universal parks and check them out again. I loved the Harry Potter areas in the Universal parks. Universal is also expanding and building a Nintendo themed area in their new Universal's Epic Universe that is coming in the next few years.
Our son is now 13 years old and is interested in some of the bigger rides. We are very excited for the new Tron coaster at Magic Kingdom that will be opening on March 7th to the public. I am not a fan of the virtual queue that you need to join on the app, because the window to join is so slim and if you miss it, there is no other way to get on the ride. No standby waiting! We still haven't been able to experience the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Epcot because of the virtual queue shenanigans.
Enjoy these photos of Sofia twirling around and smiling in her princess dress! It just melted my heart to see her pose for me when I would take my camera out. My little princess!

My jaw dropped to the floor when I discovered this gorgeous and colorful clothing line from India. Papa Don’t Preach is the name of the luxury brand and it suits the brand perfectly since their initiative is to style a modern society with a sense of unapologetic rebellion. The brand, created in 2010 by designer Shubhika Sharma, in Mumbai, a fashion metropolis in India, focuses on luxury items embellished with beads, crystals, and the most vibrant colors. At only 23 years old, Shubhika opened the doors of Papa Don't Preach to the world with a playful spin on traditional Indian silhouettes and detailed embellished designs.
Papa Don’t Preach caters to luxury shoppers in the market for bright vibrant bridal looks, jumpsuits, baby doll dresses and even has handbags and other accessories. The styles have even been seen on celebrities such as Paris Hilton, who wore a stunning, ornate, red beaded jumpsuit to a fragrance launch event.
My favorite collection from the brand is their line up of gorgeous, intricate, over the top baby doll dresses. These baby doll styles do come with a hefty price tag of over $1k US Dollars which would parallel this brand to luxury brands like Zimmermann. I was hoping their prices wouldn’t be so high, but from the moment I saw the first baby doll dress that sparked my interest in this brand, I knew it had to be some astronomical price because the detail and craftsmanship of the design looked top notch.
I’m certainly interested in Papa Don’t Preach and I am adding a few baby doll dresses to my style wish list for 2023! What do you think about this fashion line?

What a fun filled day we had today visiting St. Pete's Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida. We are still exploring our new home region here on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We are loving the beaches here and the much slower pace of life. The vibes here are definitely "old Florida" which reminds me of when I first moved to Florida back in the early 2000's.
My everyday go to look is a simple denim paired with a bodysuit or simple top. This outfit is a mix of low and high fashion. The basic simple one shoulder bodysuit that I am wearing is from Madewell, which is a lower end fast-fashion type fashion brand, but I believe they are ethical in their business practices. My jeans are from Good American, which I would consider a mid-range denim brand. Good American has quickly become my absolute favorite brand of denim. The prices can be steep, but the jeans are just such great quality and the styles are tall girl friendly which is so important to me since I'm 5'9". These specifically are the Good Waist light wash jeans and they are extremely stretchy and made out of a nice thick denim that holds you in comfortably.
I topped off the look with my sandals and handbag being on the high end. I think it's easy to mix and match styles like this since its hard to maintain a head to toe expensive look, especially when it's not necessary. I do find it important to give my money to fashion brands that do value human rights and practice ethical business. If you ever wonder if the site you are shopping from is ethical, a quick google search can provide you with that information.
A closet is a collection, like art. I prefer to keep my closet aesthetically pleasing by having everything match. I chose to go with a white color palette for the closet accessories such as hangers and clear/white/grey for the in drawer organizers. In unison the white wood hangers and pants hangers look so streamlined and organized when they are lined up in my closet. It's a great look and one thing I do notice when I am in my closet. I remember the days of using any color and style of hanger, and for this new closet, I knew I was going to go for a uniform hanger look. It does make a difference for the aesthetic of the entire closet. Acrylic display risers were the perfect addition for displaying and organizing my bags and other various goodies in my open display shelves.
Happy Valentine's Day!
What a fun day to celebrate your love with all of the special people in your life. I am so grateful for all of the people in my life that I love so dearly, and I am grateful to spend time with them everyday. My family is my number 1 and they are my forever and my everyday Valentines!
I do love any reason to wear something pink, so here is my pink Valentine's outfit of the day. I decided to a bright pink Karl Lagerfeld tweed dress which I have been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear. The true tone of this dress is so much more vibrant and bright than what is pictured, it kind of looks coral in the photos. Same goes for my bag. This is one of my favorite bags, but I feel like it's hard to capture the true tone in photopgraphs. It's such a gorgeous bright pink, but since these were taken indoors with indoor lighting, the color looks much warmer and muted.
I had a wonderful Valentine's day dinner with my husband and a quiet evening watching TV. I'm hoping you had a day surrounded by love with the people who matter to you the most.
I've been spoiling myself a bit and upgrading some things that I use on a daily basis such as my iPad for my digital planning and graphic designing, so I figured it was about time to upgrade my desktop setup as well. I've been seeing these beautiful light up keyboards all over my TikTok "for you" page as well as my Instagram explore page so I decided to get one of my own.
Some keyboards are sold at such a high price, and I'm no keyboard expert so I just wanted something cute, easy to use, and satisfying to press. I found this gorgeous RGB LED keyboard that lights up on Amazon. I will link it here if you're interested - Ractous RGB LED Light Up Wired Keyboard. This keyboard is wired, but that is exactly what I was looking for. I was tired of changing batteries on my keyboard and dealing with the keyboard disconnecting from the bluetooth leaving my computer on, constantly searching for a bluetooth keyboard to connect to.
From the first time that I saw this outfit on Khloe Kardashian I was on a mission to find these metallic leather pants. These are from Khloe's own line of jeans and pants called Good American. Shop the link here - www.GoodAmerican.com. You can shop these exact pants here - Good Icon Metallic Faux Leather Pants.
I’m excited to welcome February with a new outfit post. I felt inspired by my new Hemant and Nandita top from Revolve, I wanted to style it in a way that would bring out more of the pink details, so I went off the deep end and styled the top with my favorite pair of pink Good American jeans. These are the Good Legs Coated Jeans and they are heavenly. The fabric is stretchy and thick, and sucks in all the right places. I'm still on such a Hemant and Nandita kick, I'm constantly on Revolve adding more things to my cart.
