I’ve added to my trench coat collection and this one is most definitely my favorite of all. It’s dark navy and goes with everything.

It’s by L.K. Bennett and the quality is superb! Of all the coats that I have, trench coats are probably what I wear the most here in Charleston. They give a light layer and they polish up any outfit.

Mooooore favorites :) Doesn’t that black down jacket look cozy?

lace dress, down coat, nude pumps, taupe dress,

bag, green top, blue poncho, coated jeans,

knotted tee, wrap skirt, white top, sunglasses,

infinity scarf, taupe bag, grey/white poncho, blue dress

 

Blue poncho – fabulous. That knitted infinity scarf is back in stock. The charcoal knotted tee is so cute, and that green top is totally something I’d live in. And the coated legging jeans – so great with sweaters and tunics and ponchos this fall/winter!

A little of my life lately!

 

This past weekend we made a quick trip to Kentucky and Indiana to see my family. It was really so nice to be home and see everyone without any real plans (i.e. holiday). The weather was fabulous, too.

Harvest season at Granny’s… We sat outside roasting s’mores wrapped in blankets this night – put happiness.

Little cylinder bag. Favorite.

As always, moving art around over here. Loving this Sally Benedict piece here above this console. Josh bought this piece for me about 4 years ago, I think.

Lace up flats and a Troubadour dress.

A solid 60 minute kid activity right here – lay out a huge tarp and some paint.

And their CUTEST new friends from Hazel Village. I’m afraid I might spend all of my money there buying up every animal and outfit. Do you SEE how they sew the names in the little hearts? So adorable.

Some pretty things… grey sweater, white leather street shoes, and petal necklace.

And my favorite sweater cape blanket cardigan (seriously it’s like all these things wrapped into one) along with my new scarf!

I have a new favorite little black swing dress. I’ve had it for a total of about 12 days and I’ve worn it 3 times in that period. I know… but it’s the best!

This J.McLaughlin dress has a swingy a-line shape and the matte crepe material keeps the wrinkles at bay – I know because I just flew in this to Kentucky this past weekend and wore it straight out to dinner!

And a new black leather clutch because it’s a great size and is obviously super versatile.

Little silk scarf – big hearts.
