sunsets

Pictures I've taken of sunsets from here in Miami.



Yes, these are real.

South Beach Sunset

It's a very interesting time in my life. I feel like I am constantly waiting for something to happen. After feeling like that for quite some time now, John and I have taken fate into our own hands and booked tickets to the Turks and Caicos. One of our best friends moved down there with his family earlier this year. They are thinking of opening up a restaurant. To me, that is paradise. A quiet island life with a boat, a boy, a business and our puppy. John could be the chef, me, the manager. Who knows! All I know is we will be traveling down there October 16-21 to see if we like the island and if is really what we want to do with our life. If all goes well, we might just make the move in early 2013.

Wouldn't that just be amazing!? Leaving Miami, leaving my life and starting a brand new one in paradise. Living the dream. That could be where this blog goes! The adventure of me starting over... Excited about the trip, John and I took the pup down to the beach yesterday and it was a perfect sunset. Check out some fab pictures of our excursion.

Sunburns and Smiles

A day at the beach is the perfect way to spend a weekend. Especially when it's with your loving boyfriend and wonderful friends. I live on South Beach in Miami. While the water is a gorgeous shade of turquoise, the sand can sometimes be a bit rough and covered with lots of seaweed. But aside from the noisy tourists and debris, the beaches of Miami truly are amazing. We love the snorkeling and the sunsets are always top-notch. Check out some of my pictures from our latest beach adventure. I'm seriously so lucky to live just a few short blocks from the ocean!

...feels like the very first time

So I've been trying to figure out what my first real blog post should be about. I was thinking maybe I should introduce myself a little bit. Or maybe talk about fashion or an awesome recipe or who knows! I think I will just start off by saying how excited I am to finally give this blog thing a real go. Over the years I've had countless journals, blogs that I've started and never used, and really, more than enough spoken words to fill an endless book.

Who is Lindsay? ...I'm a little bit of everything. I'm an extremely opinionated person, which I happen to like! But I am also a free-spirit and will really go along with anything. I guess that's where I got the name for my blog, The Royal Bohemian. One of my nicknames is "Princess." Mostly because I seriously have convinced myself that I was royalty in another life. I'm obsessed over vintage, royalty, lace. I also love the richer aspects in life, but am not a snob about it. All things girly and cutesy are amazing in my eyes. Royal.

Bohemian. My boyfriend, John, always makes fun of my "hippie" feet. No matter how many times a day I clean them, the bottoms are black. I'm almost always in flip flops, since I live on the beach! I'm a total beach bum and peace and love type of girl. A true friend that would do anything for anyone. My parents were once hippies so I guess it's in my blood!

In a fashion sense, I'm all about color and patterns. Everything bright and fun is right up my alley. I like to think of myself as a trendsetter...you know, not to blow my own horn or anything! :) I have a knack for wearing things that will be popular six months in the future. Always have. I also kind of have a shopping problem. My wardrobe has always been so excessive that I used to invite my close girlfriends over to do some "spring cleaning." As my very dear friend, Miss Kim Kalish of New York City used to say, "It's time to go shopping in Lindsay's closet, best store in town!"

I started my own jewelry company last year, White Bear. I mostly sell online and in a boutique in NYC. Please do check it out! I'm a creative person, thats to say the least. This blog will be a creative outlit for me, for sure. I can't wait to get it going!

Thanks for reading and check back soon for some fun stuff!
