Hey gems, Last weekend was a hectic, amazing and shopping filled with a LOT of  champagne! Definitely a girls' weekend to remember! We left Friday and spent the three day weekend in the city! Each day involved shopping, amazing food, drinks and my best friends! We started with a lot of shopping and I have to say H&M was THE BEST spot of the weekend! I got three knits, a cute leather skirt and layered necklaces. I also bought a summer dress and snake print silk skirt at Zara. I have to say, I don't usually shop at either of those stores, but they are definitely becoming favorites! Next up was some amazing food and drinks at different rooftops! We used this time to explore more of the city on foot, walking downtown and seeing the views. It was a super fun way to use the daytime! Most of the days were super calm, no tight schedule, no time limit, just us walking around, some pink drinks and some chatting. The evenings were definitely way busier! Night one, we went to a ...

Hey gems, I know it’s been a while but get ready because the blog is about to be busy with lots of content! If you follow my Instagram or twitter (@tiathingsblog) you know I was away for the last few weeks and am finally back home!!! This vacation couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Everyone needs a mental break every once in a while and this was definitely mine. Some family time, best friend time and lots of sunshine was exactly what I needed, not to mention TONES of shopping. One of the highlights was visiting the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where we got to see dolphins up close and personal, their training sessions and learn more about their rehabilitation. Every animal at the Aquarium is a rescue animal, from dolphins missing fins due to fishing nets(check out the movie Dolphin tales or www.seewinter.com ) to sea turtles who lost their sight due to being hit by boat propellers. All animals are given a home and a second chance! As some may know from my previous ...

This year, summer was emotional, unexpected, beautiful, and terrifying. Through the good, bad and sweaty, summer kept me on my toes, so here's a little tribute to summer '18.  The season started by taking all the plans I had made, and flipping them upside down. Not only, was I supposed to spend a MONTH on vacation with my closest friends and family, but I wasn't going to work, possibly go to Disney and spend 31 days with my toes in the sand. It was supposed to be THE summer of ALL summers. But then it wasn't. Some mix up at the office meant my parents couldn't take the time off, and there was no hope for me to take off on my own, so I cried and said adios to my dream summer and aloha to NOTHING. Too late to take hours at work, plan another vacation or make any plans remotely close to a month on the beach. So there I was, mid may, knowing exactly 5 things: 1. I was not going on vacation. 2. I was now signed up to 3 summer courses at school. 3. My...
