What is your go to weekend uniform?  

I am all about easy and simple when it comes to creating an outfit. I usually go for denim shorts and a tank top especially in the summer time when it's hot and humid. I believe that fun accessories and jewelry make an outfit! Gold hoops and a necklace stack are my favorite accessories at the moment.   

What is your favorite weekend activity for the summer in Naples?

I love summertime in Naples! I love going out on the boat and eating at my favorite waterside restaurants with family and friends. Summer is slower paced and I can enjoy the restaurants and beaches without the seasonal crowd. 

Where is a must visit spot for those visiting Naples?

Third Street South is a must when visiting Naples. I always tell friends to head to Ridgway's for lunch and cocktails in the garden and then walk around to the local shops. Some of my favorite stores and restaurants are there. Third Street South really represents what Naples is, a friendly quaint Florida beach town.

Where would you wear the Catalina dress and how would you style it?

The Catalina dress is perfect for brunch or a summer soirée. I would style it with a light cardigan or jean jacket, a colorful pair of flats (for a pop of color), and the Josie handbag. It's a beautiful dress that can be worn day or night!
