Look Linger Love

Sponsored by Backcountry and Shopstyle.

Fall is my favorite time to get outdoors. Cozy layers are such a relief after Charleston’s long and humid summers. I’m sharing my favorite basic layering pieces for outdoor adventures from Backcountry, starting with the best little tee that I’ve ever owned. It’s the perfect shape, not too much fabric and not too little either.

But then the great (also tricky) thing about Fall is that some days when you start out with just the t-shirt the weather will cool down and you’ll find yourself needing a layer or two. So you’ll need a really great backpack to store that extra layer, like this Osprey backpack that has all the pockets and hidden spots to stay organized for a day hike or even for a travel day! I love the color combo of my “Ethel Blue” bag.

Back to those layers, this Sweaty Betty sweatshirt is one of my most worn pieces lately. I love the boxy fit with the high neck, and it’s so soft and cozy! It’s not too thin and it’s not too bulky!

My FP Movement Tie Dye Leggings are just so fun and comfortable – they’re great for hikes, walks, yoga, errands… you name it!

And for those colder days when you need a sturdier layer this Patagonia Fleece Pullover is exactly what you need. It’s cozy and cute and comes in a lot of great color options.

I took my new oval leather crossbody bag to Post House last night and Josh very very begrudgingly took this fast photo for me, lol. But it’s actually a great shot of my new bag so maybe he actually knows what he’s doing.

Wearing:

reformation smocked dress, leather oval crossbody bag, woven sandals

I adore the mini oval shape and it’s the perfect size with the prettiest simple details. And it comes in a few color options! I also love the black and the white so much, too.

But in case oval isn’t your thing, here are some more crossbody bags I’m loving!

navy canvas mini tote, black Chanel, leather taupe,

woven front flap, pink leather trim, cognac quilted,

Chloe crossbody, blue mini tote, black leather

Obviously the black quilted Chanel is AMAZING. I also think that pink leather trim bag is so pretty, too. This woven front flap bag is only $80. And this Cuyana bag is also on my wish list! Have a great weekend! We are taking the kids for a staycation at Emeline downtown tonight and we are so pumped!!

Y’all the RAIN this past week was out of control. It’s just cloudy rainy day after cloudy rainy day. It’s better than a hurricane for sure, but I am hoping for some sort of sunshine to peek through maybe at some point this week. But just because it’s dreary doesn’t mean you have to dress like it. I wore my new Mille plaid skirt and matching plaid top out to dinner and it’s definitely renewing my love for skirts!

I paired it with my new Neely & Chloe floral bag and the colors mesh so well together.

Wearing:

mille plaid top, mille plaid skirt, floral crossbody bag,

raffia woven heels, casuarina solid heart of gold necklace

I don’t always match my golf cart but when I do it’s just way better. But let’s not skirt the issue (see what I did there), here are a dozen more adorable skirts I’m loving right now!

Some really great casual day skirts like this blue and white floral and this denim mini. And this adorable button front mini. This sleek skirt with the side slit is perfect for a night out. And this pink floral one with the elastic waist can easily be dressed up or down! Have a great Monday!

Good morning! I’m sharing some of my recent new purchases today and we are going to start with this yellow puff sleeve dress because it’s just the best!!

My New Things I’m Loving:

Glossier Brow Flick Pencil – I was definitely influenced by all the beauty videos to order this! So pumped.

Glossier Bronzer – I love a creamy bronzer, easy to blend and gives a dewy fresh finish.

Yellow Mini Dress – I mean, I’m obsessed with this dress. It’s a great price, too.

Yeti Water Bottle – You can’t beat these water bottles, they’re the best.

Crosby Floral Top – I love this cheery print!

Younger Next Year Book – My doctor recommended this to me and I haven’t finished it yet but am really enjoying!

R+Co Dry Shampoo Powder – The BEST dry shampoo there is. You’re welcome.

Moon Juice Magnesium Powder – My friend Marysia gifted this to me for my leg cramps, I take it nightly!

Lace Underwire Bra – Super supportive and not bulky!

Blender Bombs – So good and made in Charleston. Hot tip, you can just eat them straight out of the bag.

Mille Gingham Skirt Set – You guysssss I’m obsessed with this skirt and top.

Neely & Chloe Floral Bag – This floral top handle bag converts to a crossbody and is so beautiful.

Black Racerback Bra – A great non-bulky bra to have on hand for your dresses and tops with a low neckline!

That new dress feeling, and I had waited for this one for awhile. It was a pre-order from Mille and it arrived yesterday and I’m in love!

Wearing:

Mille black and white floral dress, Loeffler Randall ballet flats,

Glossier perfecting tint, Glossier lip shine lipstick,

lll x casuarina solid heart of gold necklace

This dress comes in two color ways, Sand Hibiscus and Black Hibiscus. I actually ordered the Sand Hibiscus fabric in the Catherine dress, it’s a maxi dress with oversized sleeves and smocked bodice. So pumped. Also for size reference I have the medium, and I could wear the small as well. They’re pretty versatile.

Here are 12 more dresses that just arrived in our favorite shops that are perfect for now and later!

Holy moly look at all of those long, pretty, occasion dresses. I mean, I want them all but especially this one. And check out the back on this blue floral one – paired with those sleeves it’s amazing. And if you’re like me and can’t get enough “house dresses” (you know the dresses you throw on in the morning for comfort but are totally cute enough for lunch) then here you go!
