I’d like to talk a little bit about one of my go-to spots in Tampa. Hyde Park Village is one of my favorite places to spend time. Whether it’s having a latte and reading your favorite e-book, grabbing a bite to eat with friends, browsing the shops, or watching a movie–Hyde Park has it all & everything is within walking distance.

One thing you need when you know you’ll be walking around all day is a comfy pair of shoes. These FitFlop leather snake-print sneakers are so cute and ooohhh so comfortable. I got the urban white python embossed pattern, but they also come in black. They’re super lightweight too, so your feet don’t get tired. The white print is so chic and can definitely be dressed up or down. I wore them with jeans and a tee shirt, but you could easily slip on a black dress and instantly go from day to night.

After checking out the shops all day, I stopped by one of my favorite local coffee spots. Buddy Brew has the cutest black and white marble theme and the best lattes. It’s a great place to relax and read or to catch up on emails. Plus, it’s right around the corner from Sprinkles Cupcakes and I can’t resist their mini cupcakes. They are perfect to grab & go while you’re walking around.

Bartaco is usually our next stop. We meet our friends here all the time–the duck tacos are my absolute favorite. You have to try them!! After a couple drinks we’re ready to head to our next stop. CinéBistro at Hyde Park Village is just around the corner and is perfect for a late night movie. They also serve food & drinks there too which is great for date night.

Hyde Park Village is the perfect area to stroll on the weekends, after work, or even just a quick coffee break.

I’m 5’1″. Typically wear 6.5-7 in shoes. XS/0 in tops and dresses. 24 in Jeans.
