My mom, brother – Asher, dad, aunt, uncle & his wife traveled to Charleston, SC to see my other brother – Hampton graduate last week. We had an amazing time. Charleston is such a fun/beautiful city and it’s about 9 miles from a lovely little place called Folly Beach, which happens to be one of my favorite locations.

I forced the boys into a little impromptu photo shoot.

Weekend in Charleston Moodboard

One of my baby brothers is graduating from college! He has been living in the most preferable of situations. School in downtown Charleston, minutes from the beach. My mom, other brother and I are going early to spend a few days at Folly beach before the rest of the family comes in and we fete Hampton.

While trying to keep in mind the packing guides I found last week, I’ve got to plan several chic dinner ensembles & beach day looks. I’m thinking flowing dresses and big hair, stripes & denim cutoffs, bright lips.

Have a lovely week. I’ll be back may 14. xo

I have always loved to dress on theme, whether on the high or low end of the spectrum. Some of my favorite occasions to dress for include music festivals, fairs and of course, the river. We went to the Mulberry this past weekend and I dressed for the occasion!

I’ve had this dress forever but I still love it. I like to pull it out when I want to feel especially polished without exerting a lot of effort.

My mom is moving and gave me a few things she just couldn’t hold onto anymore, including this skirt. I’ve been so into maxi skirts & dresses so I wanted to wear it immediately. I thought it was a nice spin on wearing black and tying the top made it feel current.

I love this dress. It has such a lovely fit. It’s also see-thru so you can wear a white slip underneath or black for a cold weather look (seen here). I’m also looking forward to wearing it over a swimsuit this summer. Excuse my photo-op location!

Sometimes an ensemble looks best without too much extra and other times it begs for accessories. This was one of those times. I love any excuse to utilize my rose gold and am always clamoring for more. All in all, a quintessential spring look.

I love a polished look. I thought the white sunnies and the white platforms added just the right amount of funk to an otherwise tailored look.

I wore this on Saturday to an evening wedding. The dress is one of my favorites that I own. It’s a great party dress that can be worn in any season. It does only good things for the figure and the gold threading actually sparkles. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I found this great dress at Grey Dog the other day. I always find beautiful things there and Molly has constant loveliness on her sale rack. It’s hard to resist pleats & bows in the same frock!
