Last night we went to The Albion Rooms in the Novotel hotel to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was my first time and it did not disappoint. The menu is small and the atmosphere is rustic meets modern with rough wooden tables, drop pendant lighting and cozy booths with pillows.

Today I'm sharing part one of our Barbados video recap. We spent seven glorious days on the rock and saw and did so much. Since I took over 200 video clips, I've split up the video into three parts to keep it interesting. In part one you'll see where we stayed, our 'home' beach, hitting a popular touristy spot, trying out Bajan fast food and more!
Thanks for watching! xo

I'm on the hunt for a couple of taller bar stools for our place. While we don't have a real overhang in our kitchen, a few friends and family have mentioned it would be nice to have additional seating; not to mention, when we host dinner parties Marco and I are stuck sitting on the couch since our cocktail table only seats four!
I was initially leaning toward the Modway style (which I've also seen on eBay) but ever since a friend suggested a more rustic-chic stool like the Chintaly Imports Steel stool above, I can't get it out of my head.
My style tends more towards contemporary-chic but I love the idea of incorporating more of a rustic-chic element. We recently bought a rustic-ish pendant for our dining nook so that might have triggered this (Marco picked it out!). Moreover, I have recently become obsessed with these industrial metal stools from Bouclair and they might be the ones. I'd love to throw a sheepskin over it as a final touch and and call it day.
Outfit deets:
* Walmart sweatshirt (similar and on sale & cute quilted version).
* Snap quilted sweat skirt (purchased at Winners; almost identical here & better quality here).
* Enzo Angiolini heels (also loving these).
* Accessories: Joe Fresh necklace, Swarovski & Expressions bangles.
I'm not sure why I haven't paired these two pieces together sooner because I'm essentially rocking a glorified sweatsuit! Well, not exactly but I love the look of a sweatshirt and a statement necklace and since getting these shoes it seems all the outfits I have been waiting to wear with the perfect nude pump are coming to fruition.
I've had this sweatshirt for over a year and wear it now and again but always very casually and never to work. That said, it's slim fitting through the arms and body which makes it more chic and paired with a statement necklace and fancier pieces it feels very put together.
Lastly, sorry the image quality isn't the norm, I convinced Serena to snap a few photos of me with my iPhone so I could share with you as it seems I'm often wearing a favourite outfit or new pieces on the days we aren't shooting. Cheers.

New shoe alert! I bought these Enzo Angiolini shoes on Amazon back in August and had them shipped to my US address to save on shipping/duty, etc. however, haven't had a chance to get down there. Fortunately, Marco's friend took a trip and grabbed them for me and I just love 'em. They fit true to size (tts) and the perfect nude pointy-toe heel. I know I'll be getting a ton of use out of them.
Friday night impromptu date night at Milestones with Marco. I had the California Salad with salmon (this is one salad I am crazy over and while I love to splurge on burgers and steaks when I go out to eat, this is loaded with goat cheese, strawberries and cartelized pecans it's definitely splurge-worthy and so freaking delicious).
