Surprise!! I have another dreamy Giveaway for you today! I’ve partnered with my blogger friends Kristin Chambless and Jillian Eversole to give away an epic Charleston Getaway Giveaway Package!

We’ve partnered with some of our most favorite downtown Charleston spots to curate a pretty dreamy getaway package that makes even a local like me want to have a staycation! It all kicks off with a 2 night weekday stay at Zero George hotel, one of the most charming spots in the city. Zero George is a gorgeously restored historic, boutique hotel comprised of 16 lush guest rooms. The design throughout the main inn and 2 carriage houses is enchanting and is the best spot to relax. And the candle lit Zero restaurant is delicious, as well.

We have a few fun activities pulled together included in this giveaway to make for a perfect Charleston experience! Enjoy 2 Level 3 CBD Pedicures from The Water Room, Charleston’s nail salon with a clean conscience. Not only is The Water Room visually stunning, they focus on clean, non toxic beauty. It’s a truly special experience. Also included in the giveaway are 2 Walk & Talk Tour Charleton Tickets with the Lid Lady, Tyler Wright. I actually haven’t done one of her tours but it is now high on my list. Both Kristin and Jillian sing Tyler’s praises and I’m now wondering where she’s been all my life – must book a tour stat!! Additionally, one of my personal favorites, experience The Gibbes Museum for two! The Gibbes is art collection spans 4 centuries and connects the city’s artistic past and to a vibrant contemporary art scene. Included with the tickets is a snack in The Daily cafe located inside the museum, as well as a special discount in the museum store.

And because Charleston’s food scene is so fantastic, we are also including gift cards to 4 amazing downtown restaurants! First up, a $150 gift card to Henrietta’s! I recommend brunch or dinner at this brasserie, and prepare to stay awhile because it’s just so beautiful that you won’t want to leave! And how about a $100 gift card to the most instagramable restaurant in town, Basic Kitchen! Don’t worry, their locally sourced menu is just as amazing (I love the cauliflower wings for lunch). Next up, a $100 gift card to one of the best french bistros in town, Purlieu! They also happen to have one of my most favorite burgers ever. And lastly, cap off your night with drinks and a bite at Babas on Cannon. This spot is great with friends or for a date night – and the bartenders are some of the best in town!

And we have one more inclusion for our giveaway – a $500 gift card to my favorite clothing boutique in town, Hampden Clothing! I know!! Hampden carries the coolest new designers and spans over 4 retail spaces on King Street, so it’s basically impossible to walk out empty handed. And they were so sweet to dress Kristin, Jillian, and me for our giveaway shoot!

Wearing:

On Me: Pink Floral Dress

On Kristin: Ulla Johnson Dress

On Jillian: Pink Embroidered Collar Dress

So good, right? This Charleston Getaway Giveaway is worth nearly $2,000!! Enter below to win! We will draw a winner next Friday!

I’m so excited that Charleston has been giving us some sunny and warm days , allowing me to break out my lace up sandal booties and it feeling completely appropriate. On this day I paired them with my favorite ripped jeans and a button down blouse.

Hey Olivia I think this photo below must be right after I saw your hottie husband walk by.

I’ve mentioned before how much I love the Joie Clayton lace up booties. This purple/pink color is my favorite – totally a neutral so I can wear them with so much. It’s no secret that Nordstrom is one of my most favorite places to shop, considering I talk about them all the time. Their new summer sandal collection is totally spot on with many of my favorites like these new Sarah Jessica Parker pink scallop heels (who’s line is sold exclusively at Nordstrom) and these Tory Burch studded gladiators. Also, have you seen these  Sam Edelmans that are so much like the Valentino rock stud pumps? I mean!!

 

You can shop my look and more of my favorite sandals below!

 

 

Gray and I decided to try something new and made a short little video. You can clearly see I have no idea what to do. So I start it by doing my signature “i don’t know what to do” leaning over pose that I always give Gray when I’m feeling dumb in front of the camera. Which obviously isn’t cool.

 

 

I mean, I never claimed to be a model :)

A little life lately…

 

These beautiful birthday blooms from a friend. Aren’t they gorgeous?? And see that Barbie print in the background? I just ordered this new print from that photographer for Coral House! And I’m sorry I seem to talk about Coral House all of the time but it’s pretty much the main thing on my mind lately with the renovation nearing the end!

I’ve been lusting over this clutch. Pretty perfect, yes?

I took the kids to my friend Katie Stevenson’s opening show of new pieces and they were such good art enthusiasts :)

Fun day at Charleston Wine & Food with Julia.

We’ve been enjoying our walks home from school with all of the pretty azaleas in bloom right now.

And like I do every spring, I’ve been collecting pretty new dresses like this one shoulder stripe dress and knotted print heels (currently 30% off).

Shoe Carnival provided me with product and compensation. The opinions I have shared about the products are my own.

 

Where did our summer go? And by summer I mean school break, because the heat isn’t leaving Charleston anytime soon. Seems like last week when summer began!
lll_7-7-16_shoecarnival-4

 

Lucky for me both Lilly and Fletcher are excited to go back to school (mainly to see all of their friends and talk about their summers…)! It’s always fun to see how everyone has grown in the short 3 month break that always manages to make the biggest difference in the lives of little ones. For instance, anyone ever notice how last year’s shoes no longer fit?
lll_7-7-16_shoecarnival-13 lll_7-7-16_shoecarnival-10

 

We popped over to Shoe Carnival and the kids picked out some new sneakers to run around in at recess. They have great, comfortable shoes at great back to school prices and my kids had no problem finding a pair that they loved!
lll_7-7-16_shoecarnival-2

 

No lie, Lilly actually said it felt like she was walking on a cloud when she put on her new shoes for the first time! And I really love the pretty shade of light blue on her Nike running shoes. It looks so cute with that little pink Nike swoosh.

And Fletcher’s cute navy New Balances… adorable in the mini size, don’t you think?? I’ve always been a big fan of New Balance and Shoe Carnival has a great collection by them. Navy is good classic color that will go with everything he has.

No surprise to any of you, back to school shopping was always my most anticipated part of the beginning of each school year :) It feels so good to get some fresh clothes and shoes and start a new year. Be sure to check out Shoe Carnival for their great back to school selection!
