This video for Karla Colletto’s Resort 2014 collection has me amped up for my upcoming Miami trip. I love the way it was shot and there are even plastic pink flamingos – my favorite. I found some of the new pieces on Shopbop. Enjoy.

If you follow my instagrams then you couldn’t have missed the breathtaking images I shared from my stay at Zero George a week or so ago. Zero George is a luxury boutique hotel in downtown Charleston that just opened in February of this year. But it’s hardly new and showy. Each of Zero George’s 18 well appointed studios and suites are situated in the most quaint and romantic courtyard comprised of carriage houses and residences that are circa 1804. The rooms are beautiful and contemporary and juxtapose the period architecture that the hotel preserves. In other words, it’s purely delightful.
Thank you to Zero George for inviting us for a stay, we had such a nice date night. I had claimed on my Charleston Guide that Zero George was my favorite hotel in town, but I hadn’t actually stayed there myself. Now I can officially say that it is my favorite. And that’s saying a lot in a town like this.

Hey Guys – I’m partnering up with The Land of Nod, along with a small handful of others across the country, to host a Holiday Pop Up Shop on November 21st. It will be an intimate and magical party in my garden (read festive back patio).
I would LOVE to include some of you! If you’re here in Charleston, or plan to be on November 21st, and want to knock out some early holiday shopping with me let me know and I would be happy to have you over. The guest list will be quite limited so if you want to attend please email me asap at Chassity@looklingerlove.com. Background checks may apply (joking), but obviously if you’re creepy please don’t email me (duh).
We’ll eat and drink and be merry. Expect lots of twinkle lights.
A simple look that is anything but plain.

I have a real lust over each and every piece here, but man those rachel comey loafers… I feel like they are calling to me. The ultimate flat in my mind. And if I were to invest in another coated jean this season (because coated jeans are really where it’s at right now) this hudson pair would be the pair for sure. Love that moto style tied in with the coated jean look.
Also worth nothing this weekend…
Warning… this is a heavy one.
I’m a couple of days late for the “national pregnancy and infant remembrance day” and a couple of years late on opening up to y’all, but I don’t think that matters. Today I want to take a moment to remember the babies who never had the chance to be held. Two of these babies are mine.
It’s not that I’ve kept these losses to myself. I have no problem telling friends or even strangers about my experiences. I’m probably the girl that just comes out with it so quick that people don’t know how to respond. But I’m open about my miscarriages because I want women to understand how much it does happen and that it’s okay to talk about it. So why haven’t I talked about it here? I really don’t know… it never felt like the right time to write it I guess what in between fashion posts and what not. Plus putting something like that out there in writing is harder than a face to face conversation. But I always knew I would open up about it, for me as much as for you. I know there are many of you out there who have experienced troubles getting pregnant, miscarriages, or even lost children. And my heart hurts for each of you and your stories. In between Lilly and Fletcher we had two miscarriages. Both were pretty early, around 8 weeks. Both were unexpected and heartbreaking. A dear friend of mine kindly told me that time would help lesson the pain. That has been true for me. Of course one never fully heals from the loss of a child even if you never met him. And the grief can hit anytime. I remember watching the movie The Help for the first time. I had read the book and knew it was coming, but still the miscarriage scene was nearly unbearable to sit through without breaking. I don’t like to break in public.
But as well all know life isn’t always fair. We have to live with the good and the bad and take like as it comes. God has blessed Josh and me beyond belief with Lilly and Fletcher. We have a beautiful life. For that I am grateful every single hour of every single day.

Part duex (I’m french now) of my love affair with the Helmut tee… Not only pretty, but it tucks nicely too. And the quality is such that I could pair it with this floral scrunch skirt or with a sequin skirt or with the coated skinnies from earlier this week. Gotta love that.
helmut helmut lang tee c/o the dreslyn, helmut helmut lang harrow sweatshirt jacket,
free people skirt, ash suede wedge sneakers, annabel ingall tote c/o tuckernuck,
chloe + isabel jardins pendant necklace c/o , hermes bangle, cartier watch
Happy outfit. I like this one a lot.
