I don't mess around when it comes to food.  If you follow me on Instagram, you're well aware of my insane foodie tendencies.  $17 avocado toast?  Count me in!  As a first generation American born to Caribbean parents, my palate can be attributed to a number of things.  I had instant access to a wide range of cultural cuisines growing up in New York City, so when I wasn't feasting on tantalizing Caribbean food, I was eating something else from another region of the world.

November is one of my favorite months of the year.  For me, it's all about celebrating family, friends, and everything good that is happening in our lives.  It's also a time for reflection.  Every year, I use the last two months as my very own preseason to the next. 

Love a Steal? You've come to the right place!  I stumbled upon this mustard Tahari coat at TJ Maxx while shopping in Friendship Heights.  

The highlight of my trip was celebrating my birthday cruising along the coast of Barbados.  For my day at sea, I wore my GabiFresh Reflection Swimsuit and Firework Dress - thanks Swimsuits for All!  

Welcome to my favorite place on earth!  Located in the Lesser Antilles, Barbados is home to 285.7 thousand people and full of rich Caribbean culture.  The island holds a special place in my heart, because it's where my mom is from!  I grew up on Bajan food, listened to calypso and soca, and visited my family in Barbados on a regular basis.

Every woman needs at least one.  Dinner and drinks anyone?
