Insta-Outfit

Last week, for the first time in my life, I saw a drive-in movie. My boyfriend and I put outdoor couch cushions in the bed of his truck, packed up some snacks and drove down to our local beach where the movie was being played. Since the weather is always fluctuating between day and nighttime, especially near the water, I wore this oversized cardigan from Free People; perfect for sunsets, a slight breeze and a late-night outdoor movie.

Orange You Glad

Normally I lean towards dark colored clothing but this summer I made a resolution to wear black as little as possible. I wore this outfit to work the other day and love this top's strappy back paired with the  bra's cutout back. Plus this orange is a perfect compliment to a tan. Accentuating and exposing your back, to me, is very understated sexy and something I look for in an outfit. You don't always need to wear low cut shirts; sometimes you just need to bring sexy back… literally. 

Orange you glad I didn't wear black? I am!

(such a corny joke, I know)

I'm a Porto Gal

The Carmo Church; known for its blue and white tiled walls.

Amazing set-up at the Praia da Luz restaurant. 

(Also perfect for siesta, aka nap time)

              

Now that I'm back from studying abroad I feel it necessary to share some, if not most, of the amazing experiences during my travels. I was lucky enough to go to Porto, Portugal for a weekend; which is now one of my favorite places I've ever been to. From the hostel to the sights and not to mention the food and sangria; Portugal stole our hearts. There may be some time before I'm able to travel again but I definitely plan on going back some time in the future.

For anyone interested I used this website to plan my stay.

with love,

Marisa
