Look Linger Love

This little guy graduated from preschool! He’s so excited for kindergarten in the fall. I’m so proud of him :)

And I joined Lilly on her strawberry picking field trip at Boone Hall. We collected two baskets so I made a cake with them!

Loving the weather now and pretty much always getting to throw on a dress. This stripe one is so much fun.

Mother’s Day photo. This was before brunch and I had the best day with my family :) I got to sleep in, got the sweetest gifts made by these two, and even got a nap!

Lilly and I have started reading my old Babysitter’s Club books. I have the entire collection and saved them all. I’m so excited to be reliving it with Lil!

Sweet afternoons with these two. We just finally got our swurfer hung in our tree in our front yard, so between that and this porch swing we are out front a lot now. Loving this stripe throwbed, it’s one of my most favorite things.

I love this poplin mini dress so much that I bought it in both colors :) Also wearing these earrings, similar bag, and these sandals.

And a few pictures from my trip to Harbour Island last week. It was all about getting Coral House looking good and photographed (still waiting on Gray to edit those photos). Wearing this stripe tee in the photo below.

It was so rewarding to see all of the art I’ve been collecting all together in the house!

It was a lot of (fun) work.

This doorbell…

This housewarming gift from my island friend Amy. I love our logo on it!!

Some exploring before we flew out. I’m wearing this lace up swimsuit and this sarong/scarf.

And a peek at what I brought with me!

(star dress, stripe tank, floral maxi, green dress, blue sarong, pink swimsuit)

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend :) Our’s was wonderful and full!  This post is a long one today since I haven’t done a life lately post in awhile…

Dinner with these gorgeous friends Charlotte and Julia in celebration of Jessica Murnane’s book One Part Plant.

(I’m wearing a Kate Spade dress, these heels, blue earrings, and leather clutch.)

I’m all about one piece swimsuits right now and I’m totally into Solid & Striped simple silhouette. I love this white and pink stripe one and might even wear it like a bodysuit. Also this powder sunscreen brush is LEGIT you guys. It’s by Supergoop and is so easy to throw in your purse and put on when you need extra protection (kids too!). PS that towel is one I blogged about last week!

Another Mirth Caftan dress :) This one is actually my most favorite of them all. It can tie as the waist, too and is available at Anthro. Also my Marc Jacob studded sandals are on sale on Amazon!

Three little scallop suits that I just might wear as body suits, as well :) (1, 2, and 3)

Our friend Carly came to town and we had lunch at the Park Cafe. I think its so funny how we color coordinate.

The most magical dinner on Sullivan’s Island with friends hosted by Jane Pope, Way Way Allen, and Lauren Lail.

Here I am with Lauren. That’s one of her jackets she designs!

Isn’t this the cutest little spot? Love that watermelon bench!

Brunch with friends Lauren, Mary Kathryn, and Suzanne at Cannon Green. It’s a GREAT brunch spot with a dj. I’m wearing this red dress (also available here), these earrings, and these sandals.

The sweetest little lunch date right here, this is my friend Anna’s baby.

This here makes me SO unbelievably happy… my kids love The Parent Trap movie almost as much as I do. All time favorite!

With my friends Haskell, Julia, and Lucy at the Diner En Blanc party. Our friend Calder hosted a gorgeous table and we had such a fun time this night! I wish I had a good picture with her in it!

Love this little flowy floral top. And these jeweled sandals from Hampden.

Here’s this red dress again (also available here). This was actually taken the same day as that brunch at Cannon Green. This is at HighWater Fest and that music festival was SO much fun.

It was two days and over 20 bands! The other day I wore this floral romper and it was the perfect festival outfit.

THE prettiest outdoor dishes! I might need the blue marble set and the lemons set. And the cherries on top, wink.

Pretty floral mules.

And here’s my outfit that I put up this weekend from Cinco de Mayo with Julia and Gray! My blue skirt is one of my favorite things right now!

I thought it might be fun to switch things up today and highlight one of my most favorite local boutiques here in Charleston. Out of Hand is located right on historic Pitt Street in the Old Village, and it’s my go to spot for SO many things. My friend Charlotte and I popped into OOH last week so that we could show you around…

It’s SO nice to have a shop close to home that carries some of my favorite clean beauty brands. Think RMS, Tata Harper, and more.

This Suntegrity sunscreen was my favorite sunscreen last summer (and I still love it). It’s tinted and goes on easily.

OOH’s fashion department is so cute, too. I always find casual and fun pieces within seconds of walking through. Isn’t this tote adorable?

They carry a great selection of easy dresses perfect for strolling around the neighborhood.

OOH is also one of my go to spots for gifts. There is something for everyone here (even kids). Hint, Mother’s Day is around the corner…

Many of my floral purchases happen here, too. They have a case of fresh flowers you can choose from.

But a secret that not everyone knows is that you can go to their cooler room and choose your blooms there! I always find the best peonies and other favorites here.

See what I mean? Out of Hand is the best kind of shop!! If you find yourself in the area you should pop in! And be sure to stop by Rudi’s next door for some wine and cheese :)
