Last minute end of Summer/beginning of Fall weekend trips are my favorite because the weather is perfect, popular summer destinations are usually quiet, the water is warm & I swear there’s just something magical in the air!

The Fatherland 🇮🇹 Wanting to visit Cefalu w The Fatherland 🇮🇹

Wanting to visit Cefalu was what prompted my trip to Sicily & while I may be biased because some of my family is from here, but this Sicilian hidden gem is not to be missed!

This charming historical city is a fishing port at heart, but is truly one of the most picturesque locations in all of Sicily. Its beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, hilltop castle, fortress like cathedral and amazing food are just some of the reasons that it’s so loved.

& I think after swiping through these photos you’ll agree that you need to add it to your Sicily itinerary 💚

Obsession: Braids

My go to summer hair do is definitely braids!! I’m pretty sure for 60 out of the 90 days last Summer my hair was in some way, shape or form braided! Like I said HERE I have incredibly curly hair & while I love it, its just plain ole hard to manage in the heat & humidity NY gets. I turn straight hippie in the summer months – its all about curly, natural hair and braids ((unless I get a keratin treatment again lol!! then its all about wavy, non frizzy hair and braids))!!
I’ve been so obsessed with all the braided styles on Tumblr that of course I kept a NEED TO DO folder on my desktop ((no not an “Inspiration” folder…an “I NEED TO COPY THIS IMMEDIATELY” folder))
Also currently obsessed with feather extensions!!!! Who has them? I’m DYING for them!! I want clip it ones though…who knows where I can get them immediately…LIFE OR DEATH situation…ok not that serious but I really want them!
Here are some of my favs that will definitely be recreating in my posts in these next few months:

Some Fun braids I’ve done on my sister & cousins
~ Now I need to just get them to learn how to braid so they can do MY hair!!! ~

    That colorful fishtail braid is fun! I do a regular side braid a lot – I tried the fishtail and it was too frustrating, lol! 😉

    I was gonna do a post on an awesome backward French braid I saw in Glamour. I know that sounds like an odd description. But it's so cute! And I agree…doing it on yourself is way harder. I love fishtails, but they are hard for me to do.

But seriously if you book any tour while visiting Sicily have it be a private tour of 3 of the best Etna wineries with @prestellisicilytours 🍷

We drank, we ate, we laughed, we learned SO much and we had the absolutely best time & I can’t recommend it enough! 

I love to visit wineries when I travel and I truly have no idea how anywhere is ever going to top this one!
