Okay this feature on my friend Leigh Webber is just in time for the holidays… because the gift of art is ALWAYS a good idea! Leigh’s underwater photoshoots are iconic and one of my favorite things I ever did with Lilly and Fletcher! Leigh travels for shoots and has a schedule on her website (though she’s happy to meet you anywhere), and if you’re local in Charleston she has 12 openings in 2022!

And let’s be honest this is really a gift for you because these photographs make for the coolest artistic family art in your home!

Additionally, I wanted to mention that Leigh has a show at the Heart of Gold gallery here in Charleston debuting tonight! Pieces will be available on their website too, but if you can stop by in person I highly recommend it! The series is named Silver Linings, based on the 100 days that Leigh and her family spent on the road photographing the southwest. I remember following along on this journey on instagram and it’s so exciting to see it come to life!

There is also a series of mixed media underwater nude pieces include in the show, too. How cool are these? I would really love one in our bathroom. Hint hint, Santa.

Look how great they are in the rounded frames!

To book a session with Leigh head to her website or her instagram!! And be sure to check out her art series debuting today at Heart of Gold! Maybe I’ll see you there?

They have a wide array of artistic styles so there is something for everyone! I especially love the work by Chelsea Goer and Slava.

THE AVENUE: One of my most visited sites this year. The hours that I spend browsing their new arrivals is embarrassing. Winner will get a $300 gift card to shop the site, and in case you don’t already know, The Avenue carries THE coolest entertaining and fashion brands, like these incredible woven placemats featured above.

SOHP SHOP: Considering this is my 12 year old daughter Lilly’s soap line it’s obviously one of my most favorite things! Every ball of hand soap has a surprise toy hidden inside to encourage kids to wash their hands! It’s so much fun! Winner gets a “My Kid Goes To A Lot Of Birthday Parties” 6 pack of soaps!

LILLA P: I hope after my capsule collection with Lilla P this past Spring you have all grown to love the brand as much as I do.

The winner gets a Heart of Gold Necklace of their own!! We will be necklace twins!

MILLE: I’m one of Mille’s biggest fans and own many of their pieces to prove it. The feminine silhouettes, gorgeous patterns, and extra special details designed into Michelle’s collections make Mille one of the best brands of 2021 (and I think the internet agrees)! Winner gets a $300 to shop the site, I have my eye on this Celeste Dress

CHAPPYWRAP: This is the softest blanket you’ll ever own. Trust. We have them on both of our sofas and extras stashed away, too! This is a wonderful holiday gift for yourself or anyone on your list! Winner gets a $250 gift card to shop the site! And pssstt… I just might be designing something special with them for the new year…

CELADON: One of my long time favorite home stores Celadon is back for the giveaway this year with a $500 gift card!! I don’t think this giveaway would be the LLL giveaway without them. They have the most amazing furniture and accessory collection. I just got our new bar stools from them and am obsessed. The woven basket planters are a personal fave of mine, too!

BYRDIE GOLF: Byrdie is a new favorite brand for me this year and one little glance at their website will tell you why – they are THE most adorable sporty brand! Gahhhh!! I don’t even golf but still plan to wear their cute outfits anyway. Winner gets a $300 gift card, I’d buy this fun green gingham dress with contrasting shorts if it were me!

Winner of this giveaway gets a set of 6 Champagne Coups (because we are fancy-special) in the color of your choice!

OLIVE LANE: Most thoughtful new shopping site of the year award goes to Olive Lane. My friend Liz launched the site earlier this year and the love she puts into every piece she chooses for her home site shows. I really like how she integrates recipes and family content into the shop – kinda like a family friendly Goop. Winner will receive her favorite White Ruffle Collection consisting of the pie plate, casserole dish, oval plate, and pitcher!

TUCKERNUCK: What can I say about Tuckernuck that you don’t already know? Their products show up here on my blog so often that I should work there. It’s my favorite mix of party dresses and casual day outfits, extra special vacation pieces, and athletic wear, too. I’m always lusting over all the things (currently this shearling pullover). Winner gets a $500 to shop the site! I know :)

MARYSIA: Have you SEEN Marysia’s new Resort Collection? Oh my goodness it’s so cute!!! Marysia designs the coolest elevated suits and I own more of her designs than any other swimsuit brand. The winner of this giveaway will receive the new Canyon Point Maillot in black blossom flower print from the new collection!

THE TINY TASSEL: If you live in Charleston then you’ve probably been to Mimi’s shop The Tiny Tassel (don’t worry they’re online, too!). She started with earrings and her brand has grown into apparel and more, and her shop carries so many great giftable items and brands! Winner will receive a $250 gift card to shop!

DEAR KEATON: Ending on a real high note here because Dear Keaton has contributed a $500 gift card to their website, which I also spend an embarrassing amount of time browsing.

Happy Monday! We had a cold snap the last few days here in Charleston. My family thinks I’m crazy but cooler crisp air just feels so refreshing to me, as long as I’m dressed for it that is. I’ve been wearing layers for my neighborhood walks and this Cotopaxi fleece jacket from Backcountry is my new fave. I first discovered Cotopaxi last fall when I bought their hooded down jacket and I’ve been a big fan of the brand ever since. I love all of the colors they use in their collection. I have a lot of great Holiday gift ideas for outdoor lovers in this post! If you are a new Backcountry customer then use code LOOKLINGERLOVE for 15% off full-priced items on your first order (exclusions apply).

My leggings are by Prana and are nice and thick and sturdy. Does anyone else keep both summer leggings and winter leggings?

I’ll always love my over the ears headphones but I thought it might be time to get a pair of wireless ear buds. These headphones are by Skullcandy and I love them! They suction right in there and stay!! My Raen sunglasses are polarized and come in a lot of color options!

In that close up photo I love that you can see the blue lining of my jacket – I love that detail. My sneakers are by Veja and I really like their slim classic profile.

Wearing:

Cotopaxi fleece jacket, Prana black leggings, Veja sneakers,

Raen polarized sunglasses, skullcandy wireless headphones

That skullcandy headphones case is the charger for the ear pieces, too! You just put the ear pieces in their slots and they charge. So easy and organized! Here are more ideas for everyone on your list who loves to spend time outdoors!

athletic socks, boys nike pullover, yeti mug/tumbler,

pink sweater, head lamp, theragun massager, guys quilted jacket,

scavenger hunt, white fleece jacket, stripe gloves, nylon bags,

yeti backpack cooler, Garmin navigator,

women’s stripe coat, fleece wallet, black quilted coat, purple jacket

That scavenger hunt kit would be a fun gift for kids! And that headlamp would be good for the guys on your list and makes a great stocking stuffer! Now through 11/14 you can take 30% off exclusive styles from Backcountry, Basin + Range, and Stoic! I adore this lilac GORE-TEX ski jacket!! Here are some more gift ideas I’m loving from Backcountry!
