A Navy Spring

When I’m popping around town, I keep my style casual + comfy. Think BF jeans, slider sandals, convertible handbag/tote to fit all my goodies, and a great sun hat to top everything off! I just have to say, this tote is everything. I just love it – the fabric, the size and shape – will definitely get some good use out of this baby {which comes in 5 different colors}.

Spring is around the corner {cannot wait!}, so today I’m teaming up with Lands’ End to chat about my favorite local spots in Fort Lauderdale + showcase a few of my favorite pieces from their latest collection. Plussss I have some fun news for all you local South Floridians…

Lands’ End is going mobile! They’re taking their ‘Getaway Tour‘ on the road to bring a pop-up shop to a Fort Lauderdale beach house, March 14th-15th. Enjoy professional swimsuit fittings, consultations, and shopping opportunities. Plus, be one of the first 100 attendees to receive a complimentary VIP gift bag {valued at $75}! I will unfortunately be out of town for the festivities {sad face}, but fear not – I’ll be keeping up with all the fun via twitter + instagram, so please share, tweet, like {all that jazz} using #GetawayTour!

{my top 5 places to see + eat}
BEST SEA-SIDE LUNCH/DINNER | Casa Blanca Cafe
Best place to eat with a view! Tip: eat on the patio {weather permitted} + the gorgonzola filet mignon is beyond amazing.

BEST BOTTOM-LESS BRUNCH | YOLO
Yes, it’s a restaurant. Great food, and even better when paired with bottom-less breakfast sips. TIP: eat outside by the fire pit + relaxing terrace.

BEST HEALTHY/ORGANIC BRUNCH | Chillbar at Yellow Green Farmer’s Market
It may be clique, but this is by far one of the best ‘hidden gems’ in the area. May be a bit unexpected, but the food + drink is undeniably incredible. TIP: stuffed salmon.

BEST BAR BITES | Tap 42
Gastropub with a ‘beer garden’ vibe. Tip: try the ‘two hot dates’, plates are pretty small, so be prepared to order multiple dishes to fulfill that appetite.

BEST COCKTAILS | Royal Pig Pub
My favorite place in Downtown Fort Lauderdale to grab a drink with friends, or take out-of-towners. Tip: signature cocktails are always on point, and well priced – cucumber + mint berry lemonade is a personal fave.
