Beach Sunrise

-
About a month ago I took the early morning drive down to Stone Harbor, NJ to see the sun rise with a handful of good people and friends.

Seeing the sunrise on the beach is something that I've been wanting to do for years but haven't had the chance.  In a way I find it strange that I've never gone before since we have a summer house in Maine only a 7 minute walk from the beach!  But this was the first beach sunrise for a handful of the people there and I'm so happy that I was able to do this.  There are a lot of pictures! Click through to see them all and the story along the way




The beach was quiet and peaceful when I got there around 5:45AM.  I drove about 2 hours to get down to the shore from Philadelphia.  I got up around 3:30 and left by 4am to see the sunrise, while very early, it was very worth it.

After the sun came up, Bronson Mike and I were very hungry so we set out to get some breakfast.

We all got these amazing waffles from Brian's Waffle house that was close by and recommended to us by Caroline. I got the Hershey's chocolate chip waffle which was very tasty,

After breakfast we walked around for a little and ran into this adorable 12 year old pup!

Soon we headed back to the beach and laid out for the day

I personally had never been to "the shore" before so it was a little bit of a different experience.  I had never heard of such a thing called "beach tags" where you basically have to pay to be on the beach!  Also even with lifeguards on duty, you were only allowed to swim directly in front of their chairs, absurd!

Some light reading~~

Doesn't look it, but the water was SO warm. It felt great to get into the water a few times.
As you can see I was very pleased!

It was unfortunate that not everyone was invited to make it down for the day, but this is definitely something that I would love to do again.

I had a friend tell me once that I am more optimistic because I prefer sunrises to sunsets.  Because sunrise symbolizes a start to a new day.

Polka Dot Queen

As you might of seen in the last post, I really enjoy getting dressed up for special occasions!  This time is was no different.  Usually I end up going out and buying something new to wear to a wedding but in this case I already had a dress in my closet.  A few months ago a girl I worked with at Timberland came by my desk with a dress that she said was a gift from someone but it didn't find her exactly.  She's a little bit shorter than I am and the proportions were off for her.  That's the down side to being a petite girl! (I'm not even at 5'2!) So she was kind enough to bestow it upon me!  I've been waiting for the right occasion to come along and this was it! The polka dot dress from Forever21 has a cute little peplum and also a mesh top which adds character to the dress.  It also has the sweetest peter pan collar and a keyhole back.  The shoes are Carlos by Carlos Santana and I got them for a steal at Buffalo Exchange in Philly a few years back.

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of othe

Dark Vibes

Hi Everyone! I'm back!....I think. Since I went on hiatus, I've moved twice, got a new(er) position at Destination Maternity and still have been interviewing my butt off hoping that a new job will soon come along. I was really feeling my outfit the other week, so I had my roommate snap a couple of photos when I got home from work.  It's really a shame that it gets dark so early these days.  Don't get me wrong, I love  fall but I don't love how short the days become. The scarf was a gift from an old roommate.  Her boyfriend's mother had given it to her but she didn't want it.  I'm not exactly sure why  but you can never have enough scarves if you ask me! I've always enjoyed black on black on black looks.  The only problem I ever have is my blacks will never match, ever! #gothgirlproblems I got the shoes over the summer from Forever 21. They were the last of their kind!  A lot of women that I work with are also
