an instagrammable summer
over the past year, i have grown to absolutely love {love} instagram for so many reasons… it’s become a place of daily inspiration, a place for friendships/networking, and a place to document one of my favorite things in life- photos.
i feel like life is precious- so i blog. i blog to document the simplicity, the beauty, the power of living every single day to the fullest.
most of my blog consists of photos that i either take or photos that inspire me…
therefore, i have decided to share some of my instagram photos from this summer with you all…
it was a wonderful one {i hope the same for you} – one that i am very thankful for <3
mr. monaco and i celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on june 29
we traveled to st. simon’s island in georgia and absolutely fell in love with the quaint beach town
we rented bikes, went to the beach/pier, enjoyed seafood, stayed at on old inn/pub, explored boutiques and ate our one year old wedding cake…
to be honest, it was just ok {if that.}. he loved it much more than i did…
if i had to do it over again, i would have followed this advice for how to preserve your topper
i met up with a bunch of charlotte creatives for a picnic in the park – so fun.
we celebrated my sister’s bachelorette party in charleston, south carolina-
if you have never been, put it on your list
it’s beautiful.
her bridal shower took place in june
in our hometown in ohio
it was a great day/night of celebrating …
i absolutely LOVED planning this event for her- my best friend in life.
i was thankful for so much blog love …
the people i have met by blogging has been my favorite part- without a doubt.
kind, inspiring, genuine- full of love.
i enjoyed hanging out with my boy, pierre, this summer…
he’s a nine year old himalayan with piercing blue eyes, lots of hair,
and is the ultimate cuddle muffin
i discovered hot yoga about five and a half years ago and it’s changed my life-
in so many ways.
i tried out a new studio in our neighborhood
complete with an adorable coffee/tea area…
i take a lot of pride in where i live
and enjoy making our home a ‘nest’
mr. monaco and i enjoyed lots of summer dinners and wine on our deck
under the market lights
the pillows are from ikea
and at the moment, i can’t get enough of succulents.
we love our eclectic neighborhood…
here is our favorite tapas spot-
soul gastrolounge
back to school is in full swing-
a few photos of my classroom

we decided to share the news with the new #partyparty app {it’s super cool- i def recommend trying it out for some photo booth fun} from my two favorite sisters
and favorite blog/inspiration of all time

over labor day, my sister, her fiancé, and some friends of ours in charlotte

we laughed, learned so much, and the latin food was delicious.
