To Drink Wine Is To Live

Happy National Drink Wine Day!!

Like we needed an excuse.. 

I knew I liked today for a reason. This wouldn't be my blog if I didn't acknowledge such a day. If you follow me on any social media or saw my last Slow Down Sunday then you know I like wine... a lot. 

Let's talk ordering wine. I know it can be intimidating when the Sommelier or waiter comes to the table but first, don't be afraid to ask questions. That's why they are there. However, my advice to you is to hone in on a region. Of course, you'll have to do much wine tasting to decide what region you like. But this is a quick way to know what to order while still sounding wine savvy. For example, MK and I like Spanish wine. Our favorite is a Rioja. Don't get me wrong I basically like all wine but that's the favorite.

Traveling Duo

There is much truth to 2015 not starting out so great for MK and I.

So it was off to Paris we went...

Mk and I both share such a passion for travel and absolutely love exploring and finding new places together. There were so many things I was able to cross off my bucket list here. From aimlessly roaming the streets of Paris, people watching in side street cafe's and eating the most amazing food. Last but certainly not least buying a pair of Louboutin's in the flagship store. Epic moment for this girl.

After saying we were "traveled out", for our anniversary we decided to head to Mexico for some much needed R&R. We did so much nothing and maybe a lot of drinking. It was amazing!! 

So for real this time. We are a little traveled out and plan to focus on the house -er, um, my closet this year. We've got quite a reno ahead of us..

Also, thank you for all the sweet words yesterday on my "Blogiversary".

You guys are amazing. xoxo

Fast Fashionista Turns 2!

It's a little crazy to me to think that I have (officially) had Fast Fashionista for two years. Even though I'm always busy and it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming; I am so happy to call this my little labor of love. This past year has been...interesting to say the least.

I kept thinking "what do I do?, what do I do?!" for my "Blogaversary". I hate to fall in line with the stereotypical so this week I am reflecting on my favorite posts, outfits and foods of course. I looked back in the last year to see what my two most favorite posts were. Here they are:  

First was "April Favorites", I have no idea why I stopped doing this because it was so much fun! I might just be bringing this one back...

Next was my favorite outfit I've ever posted. All the elements just came together perfectly for this look. This girl loves patterns...and apparently walking on the road while drinking wine.

I want to thank everyone for your support and love. This has been fun, thanks for stopping by.
