The Cove

So if you know me you know I absolutely love anything to do with summer time!  Kevin swears I could have every meal during summer outside!  Having dinner in South Florida on the intercostal waterway with beautiful homes and yachts passing by for scenery is a wonderful added bonus!

Needless to say...I knew long before we arrived at The Cove, this was my kind of place!

The Cove

Intercostal waterway in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

I had the most yummy cosmopolitan with blackened grouper that was to die for!  I swear the grouper could not have been anymore tender!  Kevin enjoyed a smorgasbord of broiled seafood that he raved about.

The next time you are in South Florida you have to add the Cove to your to-do list!  It's a must!!!

I can't wait for our next trip! 

What are restaurants you enjoy dinning at during the beautiful summer season??!! 

Back from South Beach

Hey everyone...I am back from South Florida and can't wait to share all my newest finds!

I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend.

Material Girl

I can't say I have loved Madonna in every stage of her career but I can definitely say I LOVED Madonna back in her Borderline, Crazy for you, Material Girl phase!! So I am super excited to see the launch of her new line Material Girl that her daughter Lourdes has also helped to create!  The collection is ALL about layers, prints, and lace!  All of the clothing reverts back to Madonna's styling in the mid to late 80's. 

Collection is expected to hit stores August 8, 2010

Below is a sneak peak of some of the pieces from the collection...

So what do you think? 

I love the plaid and lace button up but I would like to see Madonna take the line up a

notch or two!
