Listen, when I heard Aunt @iamtabithabrown was coming out with a line at @target, I was too hype. The moment the collection dropped, I was ON IT at 3am filling up my cart. I’m glad I was able to get every piece I wanted.

Were y’all able to get anything from the collection? What did you get?

I felt like a Disney Princess when this @christopherjohnrogers x @target dress caught a little bit of air. It’s one of my favorite dresses at the moment because it’s so bright, which is one of the few trends this summer. Also, shoes are @zara and purse is @brandonblackwoodnyc of course.

To see what other trends are out here for the season, click the link in my bio and read more.

Like my fellow Tampa Bay food influencers, I had to check out the new iteration of @timpanohydepark. My server Amber was awesome plus the Frozen Blood Orange Negroni and Baked Lemon Ricotta Cakes were insane. Next time I go back, I’ll have to copy my brunch date @outdoorsydiva and get the Tiramisu French Toast ☺️

I took my inner child on a field trip last week to see the Backstreet Boys and we both got our entire lives. It was surreal singing at the tops of our lungs with a thousand other people reliving the good ole days before we had responsibilities haha 😂

What’s your top Backstreet Boys song?

Hadn’t been to @theravenouspig since I was blonde but I’m glad I got to take my dad here for Father’s Day. Steak and eggs is such a classic combo; you can’t ever go wrong.

What did y’all do for Father’s Day this year?

@walkons is now open! @bobbybronz and I went by last week for a little sneak peek #hosted trip and it didn’t disappoint. My Tuscan Chicken was bomb.com, the Fried Alligator was so juicy, and the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding is a sweet tooth’s dream.

Took a #hosted trip to @rustypelicantampa a couple

Took a #hosted trip to @rustypelicantampa a couple weeks ago and boy we had a time! The funny part was when management somehow read my mind and send over their new Belle cocktail. The seafood tasted like it was fresh out the water and I was like a little kid looking out the window and watching the fish jump out the water. Y’all, realizing people vacation where we have these views still blows my mind.

What seafood could you eat for the rest of your life? I think it’s shrimp and salmon for me ☺️

I mean who can resist a half dozen of some 🔥🔥🔥🔥 donuts unlike anything you’ve ever had? I know I couldn’t. Anywho, @mojodonuts when are y’all coming to Tampa? Holla at me.

What’s y’all’s favorite donut flavor?
