Look Linger Love

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a Life Lately post so this one is a little long…

 

Last weekend was a girl weekend on Folly with friends. SO much fun. And pretty hilarious that so many of us were wearing Marysia Swim bikinis.

 

 

Lots of beach, games, and dancing :)

 

 

I can’t believe this sweet girl starts kindergarten on Monday. Summer has been so much fun having the kids home with me. Will seem so quiet around here! PS, her cute dress is available here.

 

 

Today West Elm Charleston officially opens. So happy to have them here in town. I went to an opening dinner at the Ordinary Tuesday night to celebrate with them. That place is so good. My friend Jackie did the place cards and menus for the event :)

 

 

Also happening today, my friend Raven Roxanne’s show at Flowershop! So many pretty pieces.

 

 

Last weekend I took over Jack Rogers’ instagram account to show a little of m life here in Charleston. Love these new JR flats! They’ll be perfect with jeans this fall.

 

 

Tassel necklace, white jeans, and nude wedges.

 

 

A week or two ago I stopped by the Justin Giunta art and jewelry show hosted by Hampden and The George Gallery. I love this necklace my friend Deirdre purchased. And she matches one of his paintings, too!

 

 

A couple of weekends ago my family crashed my friend Charlotte’s adorable house on Kiawah Island. We all had the most amazing time.

 

 

This is Char!

 

 

Next week my friend Teil’s lowcountry beaches show is happening at her studio here in Charleston! Can’t wait for it.

 

 

Loving my new Matouk towel, it’s massive like a blanket. Sunglasses here. Bikini you can’t see is here.

 

 

Heads up, Garden & Gun’s Jubilee tickets are now on sale. It’s one of my most favorite weekends here in Charleston. Def worth a trip if you’ve been waiting for a good excuse. Gray sneakily snapped this picture of me last year.

 

 

This post seems really light on Fletcher pics but I swear he’s been getting loads of attention :) He just likes to run out of the frame if he sees my phone camera point at him.

 

 

New evil eye tote!

 

 

So many beach days, and again, Fletch was pouting off to the side of this pic.

 

 

Gray’s daughter Farris does make up. REALLY does make up. See.

 

 

And I’ve been itching to wear more fall-ish clothes lately. My favorite black pants and my metallic loafers.

 

Good morning :) Here’s a little of my life lately.

 

Gap Kids came to town for a little party on Saturday and naturally we stopped in to see our friends. Stopped in for pretty much the entire time… Afterwards we went out to Taco Boy. How cute are these flower crowns by Flower Shop?

 

 

My new and fun tribal bead necklace to wear with all my summer outfits, like my white vest that I wear weekly.

 

 

This picture below with my friends Anna And Ashley is actually from a few weeks ago at the Spoleto finale at Middleton Plantation. If you’re local – plan to go next year if you don’t already.

 

 

It’s outdoor music picnic style. SO much fun.

 

 

Lots of swim days happening over here. It’s so freaking hot and humid in Charleston right now that it’s necessary. Lilly’s rashguard set is available here.

 

 

And some pool things! My favorite bikini top (also here) and basket clutch.

 

 

Wanted to let y’all know that my favorite tunic dress is back in stock again! If you’ve been thinking about getting this dress just do it. It’s the best! And carrying my Kate Spade satchel.

 

 

A growing Twine & Twig collection…

 

 

My little braided gal down there. Fletch was with us too, but you can’t see him because he wanted to hold my hand :)

 

 

Tied my favorite scarf like a belt last week with my white shirtdress (summer necessity). Necklace is Lizzie Fortunato.

 

 

We’ve been getting crafty around here (gotta fill those days) and Lilly made a kite. Seen here blowing it to catch some air ;)

 

 

Some awesome pieces from Brian Coleman’s latest show this past Friday night. Love his abstracts.

 

 

It’s hard to find my Givenchy bag in the camel color but I came across one here (or bag look alike for less here)! Also with See Sunglasses, these fun earrings, and my favorite lipsticks ever – seriously – I have 5 different shades!

 

 

One of the best lunches in Charleston is at 167 Raw – get the lobster rolls. I just took my friend Amy who was just in town.

 

 

Been reading some good books on my Kindle Paperwhite (can’t recommend it enough) like The Knockoff, Snobs, Luckiest Girl Alive, and Leaving Time.

 

 

Mini scarf tied on my favorite off the shoulder tunic (also available here).

 

 

Fourth of July at the beach with friends, what a great view. Too bad it’s not my daily because the breeze was heavenly.

 

 

Art stuffs in our kitchen.

 

 

I decided not to keep these strappy heels because they remind me so much of a pair I already have, but aren’t they amazing?!! Under $200!

 

 

Pretty, and hot, Charleston!

 

 

Neighborhood bike rides.

 

 

Looking for a great black sandal that isn’t sooooo high? These! Also, scallop clutch and beaded scarf necklace.

 

 

Last week while walking to dinner we saw this fun chalkboard truck – what a neat idea!
