My brain doesn’t feel organized so I thought maybe it would be a good day for a couple of hodge podgy things. So here you are…

 

This pineapple vase. Are you kidding me. I’m in love. The flowers are amazing, too. Via Sugar & Cloth.

This Master The Mix sale on OKL is killing me – so many unique things starting with that pink acrylic waterfall console – I feel like we all need one of those in our homes.

Speaking of amazing OKL sales, did you see this Gallery Show of 5 artist’s vintage pieces. I was literally gasping while I was scrolling – so many amazing pieces and they are NOT as pricey as you probably expect. The watercolors by Lisbeth Reed really stuck with me – especially this Mediterranean View piece.

And have you SEEN Furbish lately? Jamie’s new arrivals are kill-ing it. I’m loving all of her inexpensive summery necklaces, this pink bone inlay tray, and the light rattan serving set.

Lastly, in addition to Shopbop’s 25% off Friends and Family Event, JCrew is offering 30% off select spring styles and there are some GOOD things over there like their famous weekend skinny sweatpants (i love mine), these metallic slide sandals, and this gorgeous jeweled collar shirt. Naturally, it’s also the perfect time to load up on their shorts – always a summer staple for me.

That Vince popover dress is pretty much amazing – I love it in both colors. And that Miss June embroidered tunic is fab – so much like my lemlem cover up in terms of shape – which I think is a really flattering silhouette.

 

Also worth noting, these Dolce Vita low heel sandals are a major look for less of my Loeffler Randall sandals. And now is a great time to buy up any DVF dress (because they’re all that good), a Mara Hoffman swimsuit (or dress for that matter), and a swing tank to throw on with summer shorts. Also, this is a really fun top, yes?

Good morning! We got home from our Harbour Island (Bahamas) trip last night and I feel relaxed and rejuvenated. A good vacation of little to do but indulge and read good books on the beach is exactly what I needed. Josh and I loved exploring Harbour Island – and saying that we fell in love with the island is putting it lightly. In large part we have The Dunmore to thank for that. We stayed there for 5 nights and it was pure bliss. The beauty, service, the resort design, the amazing people who work there… I could go on and on. It’s very comfortable and inviting and consists of just 13 cottages. Heaven on Earth. I feel like we have a whole family of Bahamian friends now.

I’m happy as a clam here on a pink sand beach in my lemlem berta tunic and kate spade beach bag. Here’s a close up of the sand – it’s unreal!

The Dunmore’s dining room is just as exquisite and inviting as it can be.

What’s a beach trip without some floral cover up pants – these are Victoria’s Secret and are so soft! And of course my Ray-Bans I always wear…  (they’re 25% off now!)

The lobster quesadilla at Sip Sip – amazing.

Island shopping…

 

IMG_6924

 

My favorite shop on the island was definitely India Hicks’ shop Sugar Mill. Her friend Stephanie of Figue was having a trunk show and I just loved chatting with them.

I scooped up this dress! In love with it.

Another charming store on the island…

Brought my JOA dress! If they made it in 5 colors I’d buy all of them.

Naturally I had to bring a little bit of Charleston to the beach in form of a few good books by Dorothea Benton Frank on my Kindle Paperwhite.

The “beach bathroom” at the Dunmore…

Hello amazing pineapple fence.

The Dunmore also has a lovely pool pavilion with an exercise area, a massage area, and a lounge area complete with the cutest backgammon table I’ve ever seen. Josh and I loved our daily games.

And all around the resort you’ll find these swinging chairs – I need some of these here at home, they’re so fun! It’s blurry, but I’m in my smock floral dress.

Brought along my boardwalk tunic dress.

Whew, that was a lot of pictures. Point is – the vacation was amazing and I highly recommend you pay a visit to Harbour Island in the Bahamas if you haven’t been before. I can’t recommend The Dunmore enough – we’ll definitely be back!

I am so excited about this Troubadour Lei dress. Not only isn’t it exquisite, but it’s designed by my dear friend Lindsey Carter. She is so talented. Her collection is gorgeous and so well made (that’s why Neiman Marcus is carrying her!). Go Lindsey!!

A built in necklace and a peek-a-boo tulle hem bottom?? Perfection.

It goes perfectly with my Loeffler Randall Henry sandals, don’t you think? Like they were made for each other.

Y’all are starting to get the picture that I’m a weirdo, right? Because I totally am. Will jump for pretty dresses.

Who’s Woo Woo? You probably wouldn’t know it, but Woo Woo is Fletcher. We’ve been calling him that since he was a baby (not sure why) and he even calls himself Woo Woo. It’s pretty darn sweet. So today Lilly wanted to introduce his new series, Woo Woo Wikes. I had to keep the alliteration…

 

Now I realize these outfits aren’t exactly jaw dropping (and nor has Fletchy quite perfected his “pose”) but Gray came over one day and we decided to snap a couple. Just keeping it real over here with y’all.

On Lilly:

On Fletcher:

He’s warming up. And I actually think he’s pushing Lilly out of the shot here.

A quick note about Lilly’s engraved bar necklace by Jane Pope. It says “Lilly” in cursive and is just the most precious. Her best bud Farris has a matching one.

I think I’m a lucky momma with these two.

Don’t you love when you find a dress that’s unique and inexpensive? Me too. I’m in love with this JOA cut-out flutter sleeve dress. It’s the best little thing for spring and is only $75!! It has a really fun back to it, and I can still wear my regular bra!
