Thanksgiving on the Rocks

Having moved farther away from home, the holidays have become even more special this season. Luckily, I had just 48 hours to hop down to my hometown just in time for some family fun!

I couldn’t wait to join my loved ones at the lake. It was so great to see my sisters and parents, but no trip would be complete without my puppies! My mom proudly showed off her new water features, as more family trickled in.

After everyone’s arrival, we were all treated to a fabulous lakeside lunch. I was thankful to share some sweet tea and sunshine with my sisters. The highlight was listening to my Gramie’s silly stories as the sun set.

And no great day is complete without the perfect ensemble. I stayed warm on this windy day, outfitted in my Burberry poncho and my luxe leather accessories gidled with gold accents. What a wonderful time to wish you all Happy Fall!

Moving From Peaches to Beaches

So as you all have been following along, you have seen my series of Savannah adventures. I have spent the last 6 years in this sweet city, from studying Fashion Marketing at SCAD to selling Lilly Pulitzer at Palm Avenue. I have had some of my best years here, but its time to start the next chapter and I am so happy to share it with you all. So long Savannah!

Now I am making my way up the coast to the beaches of the Outer Banks. More specifically, Duck, North Carolina. I couldn’t think of a better place to start fresh. I can’t believe I get to live where people vacation. Talk about resort 365!

So you might ask, why OBX? Well, I recently received a job offer to be the Assistant Manager at Life’s A Beach, a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store at the Waterfront Shops. I am so excited to get started and run the store this fall. I also just found a new place right on the beach, just a bike ride from work. The best part is falling asleep to the waves outside my window. Now I think I could get used to this…

There is so much more to explore, and I can’t wait to get started. I would also love for y’all to let me know of any local hot spots to hit while I’m here.

I gotta say, it feels nice to be a Carolina girl again, but I will always be a Georgia peach at heart!

Birthday Birchbox

This September, I received an extra special surprise in the mail. This month marked not only Birchbox’s 6th birthday, but also my 25th! What better way to celebrate another year than with a confetti- packed party box? Let’s see what’s inside…

This set of samples is all about multitasking this month. The light- reflecting eye cream packs an anti- aging punch, while also hydrating your eyes. My cleansing set is the best because it softens and refreshes your face at the same time. The leave- in conditioner is perfect for my naturally crazy curls because it keeps them bouncy and frizz free. My Milk Makeup mascara is a must because the charcoal and sapphire dust create the perfect combination of volume and intensity. Finally, the Florence perfume transports you to Paris with notes of the city’s scents.

This Birchbox is the new black, packed with sleek and chic products. Check out the list of all the latest products from today’s post below, and stay tuned for more beauty unboxing!

Balance Me- Tinted Wonder Eye Cream- $38

Erno Laszlo- Detoxifying Bespoke Cleansing Set- $28

H&M Hits Savannah

Last week was the long- awaited launch of the H&M in Savannah. The grand opening was August 4th on Broughton Street, our stylish shopping district. The sidewalk was lined with savvy shoppers awaiting the brand’s arrival, and their swag bags!

We watched from work across the street, and snuck over. The line was bumping with Beyonce music and we just made the cut for these cute bags. The first 250 customers received these goodies, along with the coveted 25% off coupon.

hm2

The girls and I stormed the store with four stories of sales. I got stuck in the sunnies section, and theres no question why. I mean look at these summer accessories! I made my way to the tops and soon came across some sequin tees with flamingos and palm trees. Can you say vacay?

This chic store brought a more modern feel to the otherwise historical style downtown. The fab fashion and low prices drew in the hot young crowd, and the trendy tunes made playing dress- up fun again. What do you think about all of Broughton street’s new boutiques?

If you are looking for me this season, you can find me in Exotic Garden! It’s sneak peek week and I am giving you all an exclusive look into the latest Lilly Pulitzer Resort Fall line.

I couldn’t wait to try on these gorgeous garments. The colorful punch of palm leaves drew me to Exotic Garden and Island Time.

Usually I dread fall, but with these chic pieces, this season is going from drab to fab! These prints transport you to the tropics with each and every wear!

Stand out this back to school season with these awesome accessories. Brighten up your schedule with our fabulous array of agendas.

I like to say the more Lilly the better, and who better to share style secrets with than my fellow blog friend Mary Carroll. You can never go wrong with pom poms!

My signature ensemble of this season has to be this Island Time two piece. I am obsessed with the look of these printed palms. These golden accessories were perfect pieces to pair with this hot Hila set.

Looking forward to the next shipment, I can’t wait to see more of what’s in store. I can’t completely spill the juice about tomorrow’s new releases, but what I can say is that something psychedelic is coming soon, so stay tuned!
