A little of my life lately… :)

 

Last Thursday Gray and I went to the Diner en Blanc event downtown. It was a pop up white party – everyone wore all white and brought picnics with white tables and white chairs. The end result was pretty amazing and it was so much fun. We danced all night!

I wore a white shirtdress (only $84!), a Twine & Twig necklace, Charleston rice beads on my wrist, and my white Everlane street shoes. Gray wore a dress pretty identical to this one and it’s only $27.

In other news, we’ve been spending as much time outside as possible now that I’m not melting from humidity. The kids are big fans of going to Vintage so they can play on this cool truck slide.

But we don’t discriminate.

Had dinner with my friends Molly and Olivia at Chez Nous, one of my favorite spots here in Charleston. The menu offers 6 total options and changes daily. Everything is amazing and I recommend ordering as much as possible.

In other Charleston happenings, Furbish has popped up in Moon & Lola’s King St location! It’ll be there till the end of December – so fun!! I wore my favorite off the shoulder top and Phillip Lim sandals.

Some of my favorite picks from the night include all the rugs, their finds from their recent travels, and this new jewelry collab collectionespecially this necklace.

Sally King Benedict’s art show at George Gallery was a total success – this painting was my favorite. You can’t really tell from the picturing but it’s HUGE!

Lilly acting all cute under some halloween decorations on King. Her dress is from Pink Chicken and she’s holding her new Jellycat Bunny that she swindled me into buying ten minutes before.

Stopped in Hot Little Biscuit this past Friday for their fried chicken biscuit. Have we discussed that fried chicken is my favorite food? It really is.

Lots of pumpkin patching going on over here lately. This one below is from Lilly’s school field trip!

 

IMG_2254

 

Yesterday we went back to the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch as a family. The kids love all the slides and things, as well as the hay ride and cornfield maze. Y’all might be glad to know that Fletcher’s chocolate milkshake spilled all over my Free People sweater during lunch at Jacks Cosmic Dogs – but it all came out. No stain whatsoever. I mean, sweater season has only begun, ha! That sweater is also available here.

Sadly, pumpkins is most all we’ve done as far as Halloween decorating this year. I couldn’t find my bats that I usually put up on our front door. We have some big fake spiders in the kids’ rooms though :)

Our banana plants are growing.

I’m sure y’all are aware that it’s breast cancer awareness month. This plaid wrap benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation! I throw it on a lot b/c it’s so easy and soft, especially in the morning when we’re getting ready for school (Fletch calls me a super hero b/c I’m in a “super-cape”). Also wearing nude lace up flats.

We went out with friends Friday night and I wore my blooming sequin cuff, grey Alexander Wang pumps, this off the shoulder blouse, and my cylinder bag!

Happy Monday, Friends!

blue dress, stripe topblazer, combo dress, olive top, green dress,

red dress, black top, cream poncho, black tunicjeans, fringe cardi

 

Sooo that cream knit poncho, love it! And I love a tunic long enough to throw on over leggings in the morning like that black one. Really love the detail on that blazer, and aren’t those jeans the perfect relaxed skinny shape?

 

Friends & Family sale ends tonight! What are you snagging?

I know it seems early but it’s time to start planning our holiday cards. Minted’s new holiday collection is, once again, amazing (this is my 3rd year in a row posting about them)! There are so many that I love and it’ll be hard to choose, but here a few (a lot of) favorites.

When planning for upcoming seasonal wardrobes I like to focus on the key pieces that I know I will naturally reach for over and over again. My lifestyle generally calls for workout clothes and casual wear for day, and nice (but not dressy) separates to mix together for evening. And oh yeah lots of loungewear. But let’s focus on the pieces needed for leaving the house.

Cozy Tunic Length Sweaters – Neutral, comfortable, and not too precious is key for me here. I love a longer length so that I always feel covered. This blushy taupe knit sweater will pair well with jeans, leggings, and coated denim.

 

Slip on Sneakers – Pretty much my go-to flat for comfort. These perforated slip on sneakers will be great with jeans and dresses alike.

 

Roomy Tote Bag – They’re sleek and fit it all! Love this oversized soft leather tote (comes in black and caramel, too).

 

Coated Denim – One of my favorite things – they instantly dress up any top and are perfect with all our cozy sweaters, too. I’m a big fan of this high waisted coated pair!

 

LBD (long-sleeved) – You should always have a little black dress that you feel good in, and this long sleeve shirtdress is really versatile and easy to pull off.

 

Heeled Booties – Great with jeans by day and dresses by night, these black heeled booties will get a lot of wear. Plus, they might be the prettiest pair I’ve seen this year.

 

Cashmere Wrap – Cozy and cute, this cashmere scarf comes in a ton of colors and is large enough to really wrap up with!

 

Knit Cardigan – A no brainer, perfect for throwing over tees and shirts. Love this neutral two-tone cardigan sweater!

 

BONUS – Everything here is 25% off thanks to the Shopbop Friends & Fam Sale :) What are your favorite fall/winter pieces?
