Good morning! I spent the past few days in Sea Island, Georgia at The Cloister (one of my favorite hotels) for The Southern C Summit. If you’ve been here for awhile then you’re probably familiar because I’ve been a part of this conference a number of different years. I was thrilled to return this year to speak on a panel about working with creators/influencers as well as being a mentor. The 300+ group is full of creative women with brands and businesses and varying creative lenses! Let’s recap all the fun photos!

A photo of Carly Hill, Jillian Eversole, and me during our presentation, snapped by Jenni Roberts.

Wearing this blue button down crop top and blue pleated pants. I am obsessed with this set and it comes in various colors and then also the blue color come in various styles! I’m in XS in both. The shoes are old, sadly.

Our keynote Lidia Fenet, such a brilliant woman and friend.

Wearing this white ruffle collar top (I’m in an XS) and these wide leg jeans (I’m in a 26) with these low heel ballet shoes – which I must say are INSANELY good.

Jillian Eversole and I were mentors together and this was our incredible group of women!

My dress is old Hill House, shoes linked here (though I ended up changing b/c it was kinda chilly) and my iphone beaded strap is here. Oh and my Dorsey tennis necklace here!

For the presenter’s dinner I wore this black mini dress (size XS) and now I want it in the white, too. And these silver metallic wedges.

With Morgan from Buru!

I ended up not wearing this b/c of weather but how fun is this pink mini dress?! I love the jeweled embellishment. Comes in black, too. And there’s the low heel ballets again!

Ending on my travel outfit! Are y’all sick of me talking about my Kilte cashmere sets? I’m so sorry but they’re the bomb. I wear the size one. And I have this pink collared zip up sweater over it! Also my suitcase is, as always, the Away (bigger carry on size), and finally got to use my heavy duty zippered quilted tote that is SO roomy and as good as I knew it was going to be. Highly highly recommend for travel, it’ll fit perfectly under your plane seat!

PS I shared everything I put in my carry on travel tote here! Kinda fun, there was still PLENTY of room but this was a short trip.

I’ve been collecting these finds for awhile now, a mix of pretty and practical upgrades for the home! Little updates at the beginning of the year always feels good.

filtered shower head, Hotel Lobby candle, rattan pendant, Dyson wet/dry vacuum, salt lamp,

Stakt yoga mats, floral waste bin, blue martini glasses, pantry storage cabinet,

garden wall art, green table lamp, marbles gameboard, rattan baskets,

jute tile pattern rug, lavender scented weighted pillow, Ballard mattress, blue ceramic stool

As I type I’m enjoying that Hotel Lobby blue skies candle – it’s incredible. The wooden table lamps with the ramie fabric shades are gorgeous! I SWEAR BY my Stakt yoga mat. It’s so thick and supportive, I could never go back to my previous mat. And how beautiful is Serena & Lily’s new jute tile pattern rug?!

This past Saturday and Sunday I took a 2 full-day class here in Charleston on a topic that I’ll probably share more about in the coming weeks. It’s a little new for me though so I don’t think I’m ready to share justtttt yet. But I feel energized and lit up in a new way. My new endeavor just so happens to be happening in January too, which was unplanned but probably adds to the enthusiasm for me. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, too.

Today we’re going over one of the most popular series of posts that I write! The Amazon favorites round up. We love to hate Amazon but at the end of the day I think most of us love it, too.

green floral mini dress, Onyx Storm book, glass storage bowls, long black dress,

iphone suction case, silk eye mask, ivory fair isle sweater, ivory stripe sweater,

green half zip pullover, green cashmere sweater, strapless long dress, Vitamix,

seamless underwear, walking pad, scallop napkins, plunge bra, navy & white cardigan sweater

Okay my fellow Fourth Wing fans, The third book drops in about a week so it’s time!! I’ve pre-ordered it to automatically download onto my kindle. A few fashion stand outs – this half zip pullover is really cute, this strapless dress is very cute and good for pairing with sweaters this time of year, and in case you missed it last year this striped sweater is one of the best items on Amazon’s site. Also I have this plunge bra and I think it’s a wardrobe must have.

A few new years resolution type of items: these glass storage bowls and containers, this walking pad (which is 42% off right now, and our fave the Vitamix (also on sale right now, 29% off).

Things on my radar this gift, most all of these would make really good last minute gifts for those hard to buy for (like this silver cigar cutter and this Cabana Magazine subscription).

Roz shampoo, cigar cutter, Cabana Magazine subscription, charcoal knit jacket,

yellow marbled basket, set of 5 woven vases, gucci scarf, green floral espresso cups,

blue splatter platter, block puzzle, custom stocking, Harry Potter book safe,

green drawstring fleece, turquoise tennis bracelet, snuggle fur hood, Loewe green tote

It’s been a long time since I’ve added a shampoo worthy of adding to my rotation but this Roz shampoo and conditioner is my new (dare I say) fave! I LOVE the idea of getting a jump on next year’s decor and customizing these gorgeous stockings. This Gucci scarf is so chic. I love this big and cozy drawstring fleece. I just got this turquoise and lab diamond tennis bracelet and she is just DARLING. This sneaky Harry Potter book safe is such a fun idea for a Potter fan. This Loewe green puzzle tote is on my own wishlist. And this dark grey knit jacket looks super cozy.

Sponsored by Walmart and Collective Voice

Walmart asked me to make my own holiday wish list, and you don’t have to tell me twice! Walmart has practically everything under the sun at the lowest prices, so the possibilities are endless. Here is my Holiday Wish List – Walmart Edition!

Bird Buddy smart feeder, moissanite necklace, heated shoulder and neck massager,

Slip silk pillowcase, Stanley cup, Ember heated mug, burlwood tray,

travel jewelry case, heated foot massager, latte maker,

rattan candle holder, Oribe dry shampoo, Instax camera pack, Martha The Cookbook

At the top of my wish list is this heated Ember mug. No more reheating my coffee in the microwave! This heated neck and shoulder massager looks heavenly, don’t you think? Same goes with this heated foot massager. I can never have enough of this Oribe dry shampoo – trust me it is truly THE BEST.

At our house we do “family gifts” under the tree and this Bird Buddy Smart Feeder is the perfect gift for all of us. It has a built in camera that connects to their app to alert you when you have visitors! They’ll even identify the bird that’s there. SO fun! An instant camera is another great family gift – I don’t know about you but we rarely print photos so it’s so nice to have an instant physical photo!
