Now we’ll both be singing Will Smith today :) But really, how about these summertime finds?

white chair, stripe swimsuit, scallop bikini, shorts

 

That cute straw basket with the blue handles is only $24. And I’m all about the off shoulder trend, this one is laid back and fun. And in my Lilly for Target excitement, I found myself saving all sorts of cute floral frocks.

So I get a lot of emails about visiting Charleston – good times of year to come, what to do, where to eat, where to stay… And rightfully so because Charleston rocks (did you know that Charleston was voted the #1 city in the US and Canada for the past 2 years in Travel + Leisure’s World Best Awards?!). Well I wanted to give y’all a heads up about the upcoming Insiders’ Weekend this May 1 – 3.

So the whole idea is to experience Charleston from the perspective of some of our favorite magazines. Throughout the weekend a variety of editors will host 20+ one of a kind experiences designed to celebrate our local culinary scene, shopping, history, culture, and lifestyle. There are so many fun events in the schedule – I’m super pumped!

Be sure to make a move on your favorite events because some are already selling out! Hope to see you there. Check out the Insiders’ Weekend schedule here. I think that the Biscuits & Jam party looks like fun!

Spring wardrobe updates often bring to mind light layers and bright colors. Simple little dresses like this one paired with easy sandals are one of my favorite go to ensembles.

Here in Charleston open toe sandals are necessary. I love these white patti buckle thong sandals by Johnston & Murphy! So comfortable and they easily stay on my feet for long days walking around with the kids.

Plus they match my fringe clutch perfectly. Sooo there’s that… :)

Oh hey look, see what I did here? I added a belt. All sorts of crafty over here. And now, abracadabra, a blushy suede jacket!

Just keeping you on your toes. This draped front suede jacket by Johnston & Murphy is so light and perfect for those windy days and chilly evenings!

Today is the last day to take 25% off your Shopbop purchase (remember my Friends & Family post Tuesday?)! So in honor of spring wardrobes everywhere, here are 14 more favorite picks!

 

shopbop sale

 

grey dressrompersandalsshirtdress, navy dress,

white topsandals, totebikini, stripe maxi,

cardigan, pink maxi, yellow dress, shorts

 

That stripe maxi appears risqué but actually has built in shorts! And isn’t that pink floral maxi just gorgeous? Love a great pair of boyfriend shorts, and that grey jersey dress would be so easy, too.

 

PS, I couldn’t fit it in the collage, but can we all agree that this pineapple beach shirt is pretty great? Would be great with this swimsuit!

Geez Louise, Chassity, again with the stripes?! I know, I know. But this midi skirt is GOOD!

Perfect little stripe skirt, can be worn dressed up or down! It’s 25% off right now. I know sizing is limited over there, but don’t be afraid to order a tall and get it hemmed. I got this one taken up a bit.

 

LLL_streetstyle_blackandwhiteskirt-8

 

And a great sleeveless white top will take you everywhere. I like to tie mine up to accentuate a waist. A girl’s gotta use all the tricks in the book, ya know.

Just all about these coral d’orsay pumps. Only $70.

And my current favorite pair of sunnies by See! All of their sunglasses are $99.

How do you like my stripe scarf?

 

LLL_streetstyle_blackandwhiteskirt-23

 

Confession, it’s actually not a scarf at all, but totally doubles as one (very LemLem like, right? But much less $). Any guesses what it is?

 

Wearing:

stripe midi skirt, white sleeveless top, scarf,

coral pumps (also avail here), scallop clutch, see sunglasses

Happiest Tuesday to you all! Guess what – at exactly this minute Shopbop has launched their Friends & Family Sale :) Take 25% off your purchases, no matter what you spend. I love when they do this! Here are a few things I’ve had my eye on.

 

shop bop friends and  family sale

shop bop friends and family favorites

 

yellow dress, cream top, strappy sandals, scarf, pink dress,

skirt, pink heels, navy top, green sandals, pink dress, print dress,

lace dress, stripe top, tassel heels, black dress

 

So that creamy double layer knit top is just the best, don’t you think? Same with that flowy navy top. And I could pair a million and one things with that blue skirt! If I didn’t already have a pair of tassel heels I’d be all over those nude ones! But those green tassel sandals are a total steal!! I mean.

 

That pleated mini dress is a great deal with such pretty color options, and also comes in a maxi length. And don’t you just think that yellow ruffle dress is stunning?

 

Happy 25% off shopping :)
