Lord and Taylor Opens in Boca Raton Florida

Lord and Taylor Opens in Boca Raton

As a self proclaimed South Florida fashionista and foodie, Mizner Park is one of my favorite destinations. My husband and I have a weekly date night and Mizner is the first place that comes to mind when we start debating where to go. I love it because we can eat dinner and then stroll through the store to get some more alone time together without the baby crying in the background. It is fun to go in all the little boutiques and trying on all kinds of clothing and accessories. I love getting my husband’s opinion on my choices even if I know what he likes already. Sometime he surprises me!  The new Lord & Taylor has provided a new shopping experience that allows you to boutique shop in one store.

New Fash: Canon Speedlite 430EXII

New Fash: Canon Speedlite 430EXII

I was sick of waiting for my off-brand camera flash to finish charge in-between photos. The flash we were using was cheap, but my husband argued that all flashes were relatively the same. He’s a film guy and never had much use for strobe lighting. Of course, I was right!. My husband did the leg work on researching the best price and quality flashes. We shoot on a Canon, so we wanted a good flash that would communicate with my camera. He started looking at the big brother of the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, the Canon 580EXII, but felt that it was more money than we were willing to spend. We decided to step down to the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, feeling comfortable with both the price and all the positive reviews.

Salon Verde Review: Boca Raton, Florida

Services provided by Salon Verde for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own.

Salon Verde is a green salon located in Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. The Salon uses all Davines products! I adore the smell and feel of my hair after using Davines products. Salon Verde is also used Davines color which I did not even know existed! I have not tried the Davines dye yet, but I am dying to (pun intended).
