Yeojin Bae Sale

Some of you may remember when I posted this Yeojin Bae dress back in January.  I was pretty gaga about it then, and I still am today.  Good news is that it’s now 50% off!  I won’t lie though, it’s still a hefty price tag. 

If you’re looking for a special dress, this is it.  Trust me.  And in baby bump friendly news, I think this Yeojin Bae Mimi dress is a beauty.  It’s 50% off too.

High Heels & 2 Wheels
My friend Erin ditched her car a year ago to prove that you can get around Charleston, SC (which is generally considered to not be bike friendly) on a bike.  She’s been documenting her experiences on her blog, High Heels and Two Wheels.  What makes this story extra special is that she’s a super hero fashionista who always wears super high heels… on her bike!  Erin recently met up with another friend of mine, the incredibly talented photographer Charlotte Elizabeth, for a 1 year blogging anniversary photoshoot of sorts.  What they made was magic. 

Congrats on your anniversary Erin!

I’m A Winner
I rarely ever win giveaways.  But my luck has changed because I won a GOOD one!  Lily over at Gold & Gray (you read her blog right? She’s fantastic!) just announced that I won the brass sea urchin/wall art thingie!  Yay!

Thanks so much for rigging that giveaway, Lily! Just kidding…

Zara’s U.S. E-Commerce Site
Have you heard the news?  Probably, it’s being splashed everywhere.  But I am STOKED that Zara is finally launching online shopping here in the U.S. on September 7th.  Hallelujah.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!

This post is coming a little late but I felt it was absolutely necessary to share.  I’ve been so touched by the messages you all have sent on my Glitter Guide Shop The Street feature.  It really was as much fun to do as it looked thanks to the help of some great people!

{A view of the downstairs area of the salon}

Canvas is a salon here in downtown Charleston that I have been going to for quite some time now.  I go to Marie (co-owner along with Turner Watson) and have never been happier with my hair or with a stylist!  So many of you complimented my hair for the photoshoot, well Marie was the master behind that one!

{First shot of the day, I was cracking up!}

The salon itself is gorgeous & charming, located in the heart of upper King Street’s shopping district (because you must do a little shopping and grab lunch after a salon appt!).  Canvas recently expanded to the upstairs of their building and now offers nail services too!  It seems so crazy, but nearly EVERY girl with fabulous hair that I know here goes there.  It really is the place to go and have a glass of wine while you get your hair done.  Be sure to drop in and see them.  All the girls at Canvas are amazing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And what’s a photoshoot without a photographer??!  Gray did such an amazing job on these photos that I simply don’t even know where to begin.  The fact that I was at ease and actually enjoyed myself during the photoshoot (do you know how hard it is to pose by yourself?) was thanks to Gray.  She has a way of putting anyone she is shooting at ease.  Not to mention she helped pose me so that my baby bump stayed pretty well disguised.
   
{Hiding behind a dress always helps, ha!}
But this isn’t even the type of photography that she specializes in.  Gray’s a master at children’s photography.  Master!
I took these pics from Gray’s facebook fan page and then plugged them into my rinky dinky collage maker.  I assure you her quality is a lot higher than what I’ve done to the pictures here (like that Gray?).  So if you’ve got kids, book her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last but not least, thank you to all of the amazingly stylish shops and businesses that allowed us to come in and take photos. 
The Shop The Street story would not have even been possible without you!  Thank you for making Charleston a fashionable town to live (and shop) in.

Then you should totally pre-order this lovely Kavolina dress from Rebecca Minkoff’s fall collection.

You probably don’t relate to this cartoon like I do…


You should definitely order multiple lemon drop martinis.

And you have the fortunate ability to eat the hell out of a cold italian sub.

Just had to get that off of my chest. 

I LOVE being pregnant and don’t take this time for granted,
So please do not misinterpret this silly post.

You all have been requesting them and Dani Notes was happy to oblige.  Iphone cases for the guys!

As with all of Dani’s designs, they’re customizable.  So you can pick the colors that would best suit your guy.  And of course she still offers her gorgeous cases for the girls too.  I have one and love it

Dani’s shop is filled with party supplies too, so be sure to stop over if you have a party coming up!
Happy planning!

I’m so honored to have our home featured in House of Fifty’s Fall 2011 issue.  My dear friend and fellow blogger Christine Dovey of Bijou & Boheme put together a fabulous article about creating a beautifully unique and personal home.  I’m thrilled that she chose to share one of my favorite spots in our home in her feature.  Trust me when I say you don’t want to miss what she has to say.

There are SO many amazing articles in this issue I would love to share here, but frankly I would just end up regurgitating the whole magazine!  So just click over and read it for yourselves.
Many congrats Janell on another fabulous issue!  So happy for you.
And come back later today for a sponsor post with some new things.
