What I’m Loving This Week
Everything feels like it’s building toward summer.
Upcoming trips, slower evenings, getting back into old hobbies, and a few moments this week that reminded me how much life can evolve while still feeling familiar.
This week felt like a mix of inspiration, nostalgia, and stepping into something new.
THIS WEEK’S MOODBOARD
AROUND TOWN
Naples Coffee Morning
Earlier this week I met Emily in Naples and we stopped by Kaleidoscope Floral & Wolf Moon, and honestly it feels like one of those hidden gems you accidentally want to keep to yourself.
If you’ve never been before, it’s worth planning a little morning around. The two businesses share a beautifully curated space where you can shop Kaleidoscope’s market and florals while grabbing a coffee and fresh croissant from Wolf Moon.
And if you go, order the carrot cake.
It’s somehow incredibly moist without being overly sweet, and it’s officially become one of those things I randomly crave throughout the week.
They also have wine, cheese, and light lunch snacks if you want to stay awhile, which honestly feels very European in the best way.
Check both businesses out on Instagram! (@kaleidoscopegardenclub & @wolfmoon.co)

Date Night at Sunqu Delights of Peru
Jeremy and I had date night at one of our hidden gems, Sunqu Delights of Peru in North Fort Myers, and once again it completely lived up to the hype.
We ordered:
- Parmesan scallops
- Fish ceviche
- Lamb shank
…and brought a bottle of VGS Chateau Potelle, which paired perfectly with dinner. They don’t serve alcohol, but they do allow you to bring your own wine and charge a small $30 corking fee — something we honestly didn’t mind paying at all for the experience.
The owner and chef, Oscar, waited on us himself, and you can genuinely feel how much he loves what he does.
The menu is massive and full of flavor — everything from fresh ceviches and steaks to sushi boats — and it’s one of those places that somehow still feels undiscovered.
Hours: Monday: Closed, Tuesday - Thursday: 3-9 PM, Friday & Saturday: 11:30-10 PM, Sunday: 11:30 - 8 PM
Address: 529 Pondella Rd North Fort Myers Florida 33903
WHAT I’M EATING
The Yellow Sauce I Can’t Stop Thinking About (from Sunqu)
I may have left the restaurant carrying home a mason jar of their yellow sauce.
I don't know how to describe it other than an obsession. It's creamy, bright, cilantro, spices, and mayo based— the kind of sauce that instantly makes everything better. I already know it’s going on tacos, bowls, grilled chicken… probably everything this summer.
Make sure to bring home a jar of it you won't regret it!
WHAT I’M WEARING
Summer Whites
I wore a white cotton linen set from Lulus to the Beachview Villas launch event this weekend, and it felt like the perfect start to summer dressing.
Lightweight, coastal, effortless — exactly the kind of outfit I always reach for this time of year.

WORK THIS WEEK
Early Mornings at Grazing Haus
This week was full of early work mornings, brunch board deliveries, and getting back into a busy rhythm after Mother’s Day weekend.
Honestly, I was surprised in the best way by how busy Mother’s Day turned out to be this year.
There’s something really rewarding about seeing momentum continue to build after seven years in business.
WEEKEND EVENT
Beachview Villas on Sanibel
Check out the recap reel on my Instgram
This weekend I attended the launch event for Beachview Villas on Sanibel, and it ended up being meaningful in ways I didn’t expect.
Jeremy and I toured both the four-bedroom suite and one-bedroom villa, and what stood out most was how intentional and peaceful the property feels. With only 22 units, it’s designed to feel quiet, relaxed, and tucked away — while still being the sister property to Tween Waters, giving guests access to both locations with a shuttle between them.
One thing I especially loved learning is that Beachview is adult-only and allows shorter two-night stays, which is surprisingly rare on Sanibel and honestly makes it such a fun option for locals wanting a quick getaway.
The villas also come with full kitchens, which immediately had me thinking about slow mornings, beach snacks, and wine nights in — so naturally I have to recommend ordering a charcuterie board from Grazing Haus for your stay.
Walking through the property also brought back nostalgic memories of beach weeks growing up with my mom, aunt, sister, and cousins — staying in condo-style resorts and spending entire days by the water.
LOCAL FINDS
Cowboy Sharp
One of my favorite local finds lately has been Cowboy Sharp, a local blade sharpening business here in Southwest Florida.
If you cook often or work in food like I do, you know how much of a difference sharp knives make. I had my blades sharpened last May and just dropped them off again to get ready for our fishing trip in the Keys — because you definitely can’t filet a fish with a dull knife.
One thing I thought was especially cool is that if you miss Ronnie at the farmers market, he has a locker system set up at his house. You simply follow the instructions, leave your knives, and they’re sharpened and ready to go within 48 hours.
There’s something really special about finding people who are incredibly skilled at one thing and do it exceptionally well. Definitely one of those small local businesses I’m excited to continue supporting.
THIS WEEK’S FEELING
Everything feels like it’s slowly building toward summer.
Trips on the calendar, routines shifting, and little moments that feel exciting again.
And honestly, I’m really looking forward to it, see you next Monday.
