"The woman wearing Kora Rae embodies the psyche of the tiger: she's fearless, powerful, beautiful and independent in every aspect of her life, including what she wears." 

Social media is an amazing thing. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Rachel Turzer's Instagram and discovered her clothing line, Kora Rae. Founded only in 2013, she has managed to steal the hearts of so many beautiful women, including some of my favorite fashion bloggers. With a heart as big as hers, it's hard not to see why. A portion of each purchase is donated to her rescued and adopted tiger, Kora. This dress is from her Spring/Summer line and is so versatile (I've even worn it to the beach). The silk and pattern are amazing and will definitely take me from summer to fall. Not to mention, it fits like a glove (thank you for your help, Rachel!) You must shop her website.

Cheers to the weekend!

TGIF! Looking for a place to getaway for the weekend? My NYC people, you must visit Rockaway Beach especially at 97th Street. This has been my "vacation"spot for the past two weekends for the fresh ocean air, the sound of the waves and the SUN. Being a Florida girl, this beach has my approval and is one of the top in my books. 

On the boardwalk, there's plenty of food choices, including BBQ, arepas, smoothies/ice cream, banh mi's and much more. There's even a beer garden and live music! What's not to love? If you don't mind waiting a little longer, you MUST try Rockaway Taco - the fish tacos are perfection. What are you waiting for?  Hop on an A train to Queens/Far Rockaway and celebrate the weekend ;)

Becca

P.S.

I want to wish the happiest of birthdays to the love of my life, Matt! You are my everything and I am so so lucky to have you in my life. Time to celebrate! Love you! #justus
