Summer in South Florida- My 2014 Photo Recap

Since moving to Florida and no matter what city I have lived in, I was always a Fort Lauderdale girl. When anybody mentioned their birthday or event would be in Miami, I remember always reconsidering how good of a friend they were if they were to have me drive "down south". I loved everything about Fort Lauderdale: From their not so original restaurants to the cool coffee shop not everybody knew about. Last year, I noticed my whole perceptive change. "Down south" was seeing me more than my original love.

This summer was my first summer official summer in Miami Beach. After working for a year as a social media manager and networking like crazy, I  quickly came to realize that Miami is nothing like my slow paced Fort Lauderdale and that every day "You're in Miami Bitch".

A look back at my #summer14. A mix between good friends, sweet events and food & cocktails of course.

Fort Lauderdale catches up later in the summer with a new crafted cocktail bar, a new favorite salad and a restaurant that has become a regular:
