Hello pre-snow front yard. I wore this two weekends ago to do some shopping with my Mom. We went to a jewelry store, Home Goods, Marshalls, Jo Ann Fabrics and the dollar store and guess what? I didn't spend a dime! So proud of myself, ha ha. I've been very well behaved so far this motnh and have only bought gas and groceries! GO ME!

Let part 2 of my photo diary commence! Here's the rest of what I got up to on my Potter filled trip. As usual I took hundreds of photos so I had to narrow down quite a bit.

Today's the day for my Celebration of Harry Potter photo diary! Another great trip in the books, even if it was super cold (for Florida) Let's start off with the potter stuff, I attended a special press conference on Friday evening, for my Harry Potter and Matthew Lewis sites, and also watched a few panels throughout the weekend.

Press Conference - Matthew Lewis, Warwick Davis, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton

Talent Panel -  Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Lewis, Warwick Davis

FOOD: Decided to do a whole section on food this time since I always take pictures of my food and never do anything with them (except Instagram a few.) Everything is on Universal property except the final items, which are Disney Springs.

Always a must - Chicken Waffle Sandwich from Cletus' Chicken Shack in Simpsons Land
Chips & Salsa and Chicken Tacos from Antojitos - this is one of my favorite restaurants in CityWalk (Universal's shopping and dining destination that sits between both parks)
Pulled Pork Sandwich from Hard Rock
Cornbread and Marghertia Flatbread from NBC Sports Grill. Cornbread is a must, flatbread is just okay. Try to sit at one of the game tables, we were at the Foosball table!
Hands down favorite dessert on Universal property (so far...) Flourless Chocolate Cake from Toothsome Chocolate Emporium
French Toast from Trattoria del Porto at the Portofino Bay hotel
One of my favorite treats from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Cornish Pasties from The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure (they also serve them in Diagon Alley at the kiosk near the stage)
Breakfast from the Bayliner Diner at Cabana Bay hotel (yes, I like pepper)
Chocolate ice cream at Florean Fortescue's in Diagon Alley at Universal Studios (my friends recommend Earl Grey and Lavender, Clotted Cream and the soft serve Butterbeer, but I'm picky so I stick with chocolate)
Pepperoni Pizza and Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil bread from Portobello at Disney Springs (my friends and I weren't too fussed about this place, too overpriced for what it is)

I did manage to get a couple shots of 2 outfits from the rest of the trip, so here's a super quick look at them! I always keep my vacation looks simple - sweater (or tee) and jeans. DONE! That way I don't have to worry about multiple pieces per look and it helps me pack lighter. The only accessories I bring are my rings (which you don't get to see much of in my full outfit shots)

This photo was taken at a brand new Easter Egg at Universal. If you've seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them you'll recognize this as the entrance to The Blind Pig, a bar for wizards in New York City.

Cardigan: DKNY (Net-a-Porter Sale), Turtleneck: Vince (Marshalls), Jeans:  J Brand 'Maria' (Gilt), Miu Miu ankle boots (Roundabout Resale)

We spent our last night at Disney Springs since we can't go to Florida and not do something Disney related! ;)

Sweater: Anthropologie


This is my last full outfit post from Florida because time ran away with me the rest of the time. We had some pretty busy days running around the parks to different panels and the "expo" full of Warner Bros. and Harry Potter products.  These photos were taken at the GORGEOUS Portofino Bay hotel, one of Universal's premium hotels. Universal was kind enough to put us up here for 2 days of our trip. The other 4 nights were spent at my other favorite Universal hotel - Cabana Bay (stay in the poolside family suites!!) When you stay at Portofino you really feel like you're in Italy, but it's Florida!

Sweater: Madewell, Jeans: M.i.h Jeans 'The TOMBOY' (Net-a-Porter Sale), Sandals: Ancient Greek Sandals 'Athanasia' (Moda Operandi), Sunglasses: Ray Ban 'Erika'
