Date Night and Fashion Friday
Hey guys! How are ya? Happy {Fashion} Friday! What are you up to this weekend?
Thank you so much for the kind words on the pilotโs return. It feels *so.freaking.good* to have my love home again. Heโs kind of fun, ya know? ๐
We went on a lovely date to Two Friends Cafe since it opened for dinner after the pilot left.
I had a redonk orange and basil cocktail.
I have no idea what was in it, but it was sweet, earthy, and beautiful.
For a starter, we shared the portobella mushroom with balsamic reduction and scallions– asked them to sub goat cheese for the mozzarella
I asked the server if I could please have a salmon salad with no cheese and balsamic on the side, even though it wasnโt on the menu. The executive chef, Randy, is incredible and always accommodates weirdos like me ๐
It made all of my salad dreams come true <3
We made a stop at the fireworks stand on our way home to get our supplies for the 4th, too ๐
I just munched this bowl of chocolate cherry overnight oats:
-1/2 C oatmeal, 1 T chia seeds + 1 C almond milk, all soaked in a bowl overnight
-1/2 C frozen black cherries (defrosted in the bowl)
-1 banana
-1 T raw cacao powder
1/2 T maca
-Vanilla, Stevia and pinch of sea salt
+ a 2 egg white puff
Iโm off to teach bootcamp and then weโre getting on the road to ORLANDO! Family, oven yoga, Whole Paycheck, Millennia Mall and civilization, here we come ๐
See ya this afternoon!
xoxo,
Gina
Something to do: Itโs FASHION FRIDAY! Since so many of yaโll asked me to write more about fashion, I thought it would be fun to throw this in the mix every now and again. Basically, Iโll pick one clothing style or accessory that Iโm loving, write about it, and give ya some examples of where you can find it within different budgets.
Hereโs one thing Iโm loving right now:
Bold floral skirts!
Iโve bought 5 floral skirts already this summer (!)- theyโre light and comfy ๐ Perfect with gladiators for casual/day or can be dressed up with strappy platforms or booties.
This particular one is from Express and is on clearance right now (which always happens to me after I buy something for full price- itโs the physics of shopping).
What skirt styles are you loving? Floral, animal print, belted, peasant and safari are all HOT right now ๐
As far as the floral skirts go, this bold patterns and fun colors.
Forever 21 has this super cute one:

So cute and perfect for summer ๐
Enjoy the rest of your day and Iโll see ya from ORLANDO!
I’m obsessed with floral skirts! I somehow always walk out of the mall with a new one! ๐
Glad you have your man back, that’s always awesome after they’ve been away so much.
Love the skirt, hot!
Isn’t it funny how our perception changes depending on where we are? You talk about Valdosta like it’s the middle of nowhere with nothing and you guys make the few hour drive to Orlando for “civilization.” On Guam we only have Kmart (no Wal Mart, Target, Express, Sephora, Anthropologie, Starbucks, Whole Foods, etc) so aside from my week in HI when I went wild in Target, I haven’t seen real stores in 18 months! Oh well, we make do with the NEX, BX, Macy’s, and places that will ship like Old Navy and REI.
your breakfasts always look incredible! I love chocolate first thing in the morning
Glad the Pilot is home with you! And I ADORE the Fashion Friday post…I hope you keep doing these because this was super fun. I read so many food and fashion blogs but it’s so much more fun to read both in the same blog and post!
Gina – that skirt is SO CUTE! I’m a big fan of your Fashion Fridays – keep ’em up!
LOVE basil cocktails!
Love the skirt…i have the same one:):):) My super amazing boyfriend (who is currently at navy bootcamp) bought it for me for my b-day! I love you blog! Its the perfect blend of healthy (im a vegan workoutaholic) and military life:) Have a great holiday and enjoy your time with your hubby!
