You might find this hard to believe, but I was extremely shy when I was younger. So the first time I ate at a communal table in a restaurant I was thrown off. Honestly, it took me a while to get used to this concept. I couldn’t tell you exactly when this feeling changed, but it was around the time I saw the movie “About A Boy”.

It begins with the quote “No man is an island” and the rest of the movie is spent showing just how lonely life would be as an island. We are meant to be social and I’ve come to love and appreciate the communal aspects of life.

Last night I asked for your help in deciding on a dress to wear as a wedding guest. I’m still wading through a sea of messages, and the most beautiful part of it all has been the conversations that sparked from this. One particular message came from Sweden and the ensuing conversation really was so lovely and made my day.

It’s been on my mind since that we have an opportunity and luxury to talk to people all around the world. I wonder how much of this novelty will be lost on future generations and what pieces of convenience I take for granted daily. Pop quiz: but what convenience are you most thankful for today? Hint: there are no wrong answers.

What do you actually want for Mother’s Day? It was the question we’d ask my mom after her reply to our first inquiry was “obedient children”. Her request might have made it easier on my wallet, but it meant that for at least a day I had to mind my p’s and q’s.

Fast forward thirty years and she still uses this same reply, though we’ve been able to wheedle out a few things actually does want. Or perhaps we’ve gotten to know her better as adults. Either way, one thing I know she will love this year is a gift from @HeidiCareyDesign. I’ve partnered with them to share a few of my favorite pieces from their pajama and home collections so that you too can find something your mom will actually want.

The hydrangea print happens to be my favorite, and it’s absolutely lovely on the robe. Heidi Carey brings classic designs to staple pieces printed on a lightweight 100% cotton fabric. This makes them great for wear now and all through summer. What will you be getting your mom this Mother’s Day?

I can’t gate keep a good house cleaning product anymore than I can my favorite pair of denim shorts. I’ve been using L’Avant for about a year now and it makes my house smell good and look good. They’ve created amazing luxury products that are plant based, most a refillable, and that smell incredible!

I grew up on the prettiest beaches in Florida and I’m sharing all the details for you to fall in love with my hometown area! Visit Destin and 30A for this year but make sure you take this guide!

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKxMadewell #LTKFestival

Rain or shine, most mornings I make my way to the dog park. One day I noticed an elderly man leaving his giant chocolate lab behind and driving off. My heart instantly sunk. What I first thought was him abandoning the dog turned out to be one of the sweetest daily routines I’ve come to love.

The man, Sam, can’t walk Louie anymore so he drops him off at the park and drives the fenced perimeter of the area. Honking the whole way so Louie can “chase” him. I’ve started cheering Louie on each morning as he wildly runs after the car and know now that Sam comes back to throw a ball after a few minutes of car chasing.

Sam wears the same outfit daily and loves to tell the silliest Grandpa jokes. He has a new one everyday and I can always tell he’s excited to share it. I’ve learned that his wife is in a care facility and he takes the same jokes there to “make the old people laugh”.

If you are wanting to go on vacation but can’t at the moment I hope this little story reminds you that people, and places, are not always as they first appear. Go out and explore your town and learn to appreciate the details you’ve missed on the first go around. The full guide to my hometown area is almost finished on Wear to Wander and I’ll send out an email so you can discover one of my favorite places, too!

There is a term in photography coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson called the decisive moment. It’s the point at which the viewer recognizes significance and tension within a moment to capture. It’s the precise second before the splash as a runner encounters a puddle. Or the joy that is seen before it’s felt in an embrace between old friends.

He used this moment to create a unique form of narrative through pictures and it’s remained one of the most valuable lessons I learned in college. A lesson that came back to mind in my early thirties. I was living about a block away from the Gulf in Destin and most everyday I’d get up to watch the sunrise. It dawned on me that behind the decisive moment, just before the wave crashed, there was a whole process that brought the wave there. This wasn’t a new thought unique to me, but this was the moment I understood its importance and changed my perspective.

It’s easy to miss the journey the water takes to become a wave. Or to forget that there is a whole world living below the crash. If you’re looking at someone else’s decisive moment, whether it’s good or bad, I hope we can think about this unknown and unseen factor to provide grace or remove envy.

I’ll have a full guide to my hometown area coming to Wear to Wander next week. It’ll include my favorite places to watch the sunrise along with a true locals perspective on growing up in the Florida panhandle. If you have questions you’d like answered about 30a and the surrounding area, send me a message so I can answer it in this guide!

Today happens to be my sweet mom’s birthday, so what better time than to take you all with me on a staycation in my hometown area. From an early age she taught me about the 10 minute vacation where she’d get away to the beach and watch the waves come in. This was a regular occurrence for her and from time to time I’d go with her.

We’d dig out feet into the sand and focus on the crashing waves. I always knew our time was up when my feet had sunk in and my ankles were now covered. Sometimes we’d talk when the waves were quieter but most of these little vacations were spent in silence. Much can be said and felt even in silence, and getting to that place of quiet comfort is the vacation I often need. So whether you have ten minutes, or a whole weekend to explore I hope you take this as a sign to enjoy where you’re living. Find your spot for a ten minute vacation and mentally take it easy.

Many of your are heading to my hometown area of 30a and Destin this spring and summer, so I’m sharing my favorite spots from a true local’s perspective. If you are heading there and have a question about it, please reach out! I love my beach town home and will happily answer questions you have.

Tonight’s looks all include pieces from @heidicareydesigns. I’d highly recommend their beautiful line of pajamas and accessories for your staycation starting point! #heidicareydesign
