Look Linger Love

Happy Weekend. It’s snowing in Charleston right now. We are supposedly getting a few inches – very exciting for our city!

Let’s dive into the weekly rounds –

What I’m Wearing This Week:

– Just got this new blue floral jacquard dress from Tuckernuck and like one of my DMs said, it’s giving Bridgerton! I love her so much. I’d say it runs large.

– I just got a new set of Negative’s whipped tank and pants in their mist color. I did the matching bra this time too. I just can’t get enough of the way this fabric feels. I do a small in the pants and a medium in the top (it runs small).

– I love these athletic socks with my sneakers when I walk on the treadmill, they’re so cute.

– My new lip chic came and I LOVE it. I’ve loved this brand for a long time. Tuberose is my favorite shade.

– My Varley puffer has been keeping me warm this week. They make an excellent coat. I must say.

What I’m Considering Buying This Week:

– Veronica Beard’s new collection oh my goodness there are so many amazing pieces we’re going to be seeing everywhere including this plaid jacket, this scarf print dress, and this paisley dress.

– I bought this long sleeve green applique dress and am so exited about it, it’s gorgeous. More sizes here, and it really its just fun to see it on different models for fit. I got the size AU6.

– JCrew just updated their rollneck sweater and it’s a great new look. I love the cuff and neck details, and it comes in a ton of colors!

– I ordered two dresses from Hill House and they do not disappoint even a little bit. First this blue floral mini dress, the fit is so amazing b/c the fabric is sturdy but also kinda stretchy. More sizes here. And the other HH dress I got is this black flutter top dress which is just so elegant! Love them both.

– Something else on my radar is this blue dress that now comes in a long version – everyone loved the short version so I bet this one will be really popular too!

What I’m Reading, Watching, & Listening To:

Okay I started the new Bridgerton season 4 and am quite excited about this Cinderella spin this season. I know not everyone is excited about it but I’m feeling positive about it. Though I’m not so sure I can get around the main character, he’s just never been a favorite of mine.

I also FINALLY started Heated Rivalry. Holy smokes. I have to watch with the remote pointed at the tv just in case someone comes in. I can see how their story will get really good but I’m only getting to season two at time of writing this, so I’ve yet to understand why everyone is talking about it so much. But from what I understand from the internet it gets reallllly good a few episodes in and everyone loves “the cabin”.

My hair stylist (who I consider a friend after going to her for 17 years) recommended the book The Red Tent to me and I’m almost finished with it. It is an entirely different type of book than what I read, but it’s fascinating. It’s set in biblical times, but isn’t overly religious in a way that could have turned me off. I feel like I’m learning a lot about what living back then was like for a woman. I had never heard of this book but it was originally published in 1997 and then was even turned into a Lifetime miniseries in 2014.

What I’m Looking Forward To:

BIG book news coming this week you guys. That’s all I’m going to say but get ready!! I am SO excited!!

Under $100 Wins:

Wearing: Sweatshirt and sweatpants set (mine is actually the frank and eileen set but i can’t find it on their website anymore)

– My frank & eileen sweats set has been duped on Amazon and the reviews are GOOD.

– I love these mix and match striped pajamas.

– Varley’s new leggings are under $100 and I love everything they make. In fact I’m in their shawl sweatshirt (in ivory marl) and cuff sweatpants (in mid blue marl) right now as I type.

– This cute tuckernuck blouse is $100 off and is sooo cute!

– Forgive me if I’ve already talked about this, but I don’t think I have, but this face tanning spray and brush is one of my favorite things I’m using right now! It’s so easy and gives the best little subtle glow for winter time.

We’ve got home faves, a new beauty fave, fashion faves… here’s what I’ve been hearting or buying this week.

fabric boxes, The Nightingale, blue skirt set, bezel necklace, black top,

fish tote, lip chic, lace mini, pink sweater, blue kettle, pink sport set,

blue skirt, tiles rug, fabric lamp, printed dress, stakt mat, polka dot dress

I finished The Nightingale last week. This isn’t a new book, in fact I read it 10 years ago, but enough time had passed that I decided I wanted to re-read. I know I already talked about it, but it really does feel like an important book. Plus it’s being adapted into a movie with the Fanning sisters.

I replaced our electric kettle with this adorable blue one and am SO impressed. It heats up faster, it heats up so much more quietly, and it’s way more beautiful. A total win.

Did you see the new Stakt yoga mat collab? The new reversible color is gorgeous!

My friend Jackie had this lip gloss when we were in The Bahamas last week and I had to have them too. I ordered three colors!

I love this pink swingy sweater – the cutest fit. Tnuck’s cute green pleated skirt just arrived in this gorgeous blue! And everyone is freaking out about Hart’s new bezel necklace – for good reason. She just gets better and better.

Also while we are talking about obsessing over things… the flora swimsuit. She is SUCH a beaut!! Who spotted the burnt orange color in People We Meet On Vacation?!

And of course I had to pair the flora swimsuit with my favorite fringe coverup!

Last week I went on a little girl’s trip to The Potlatch Club, a small resort on Eleuthera in The Bahamas. I’d been hearing from Harbour Island friends that it is so lovely and relaxing, so I was excited go see it!

It recently went through an extensive renovation by the owners, along with the the design help of our fave – Amanda Lindroth. She also designed The Dunmore and The Dunlin, so you know it’s good.

Birthday celebration for Amanda! Also pictured – Jackie Thomson and Jillian Eversole.

This room above is the main entry clubhouse space, the floor is so gorgeous!

The resort has cute cottages spread out over the property. We stayed at The Pineapple House, and this was our view. I mean, it’s just absolutely incredible!

Design details in The Pink Sands cottage. You know I love the pink!

In the 1950s Paul McCartney honeymooned here and wrote two songs! I loved looking at all of the photos of the property’s history in the library.

I highly recommend book the signature massage at the spa. It was probably the best massage I’ve ever had.

The main restaurant has such incredible food, there really wasn’t one meal I didn’t love! I highly recommend ordering the coconut margarita (off menu).

I got a few questions on instagram asking how close The Potlatch Club is to Harbour Island. Boat-wise – pretty far. The owner said it’s about 5 hours. But in the car it’s not so bad. It’s located on Eleuthera, which is Harbour Island’s main island and is where you fly into. From ELH airport The Potlatch is just a 1.5 hour car ride away, so it’s really not too far! You could also fly into Governor’s Harbour Airport, which is just 15 minutes away from the resort. We flew into ELH on our way there, and out of GH on our way out, just because that’s the schedule that worked best for us.

I’d recommend The Potlatch Club for low key girls trips, family trips, or couples trips. I can’t wait to go back! I have a reel of our stay here, too!
