Carolina Cup

Carolina Cup is this weekend, and that means lots of Lilly, Vineyard Vines, and Southern Tide! Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year since I'll be moving and boyfriend is running in the Cooper River Bridge Run. Side Note: Why is the Cup always planned on the same weekend as the Bridge Run? You wouldn't think that they would plan two of South Carolina's largest events on the same weekend...just sayin. But anyways, we had so much fun at the race with the law school last year and were in good company! So get out your best Lilly, tie one on and hit the track.

What will you be wearing to Carolina Cup?

Color Crush: Shocking Pink

Shocking Pink. My new found love. Oh J Crew, this is going to be one of your best seasons yet. I will be indulging in many of your shocking pink frocks that I spotted along my King Street walk today. Next agenda item...working on my tan.

Snow Day Essentials

Who doesn't love a snow day? While it's not exactly "snow", but more along the lines of "sleet" here in Charleston, I'm loving this snow day because I did not have to work! Here are a few of my favorite snow day essentials for staying warm and having fun...

1. Kate Spade Rain Boots

2. UGG Earmuffs

3. North Face Triclimate Ski Jacket

4. Snow Gloves

5. Wooden Steel Runner Sled

6. SmartWool Socks

7. Turtle Fur Tassle Hat

Color Crush: Sapphire Blue

The air is getting chilly (finally) and the layers are piling on. I'm loving this rich sapphire shade of blue for an unexpected pop of color. Whether it be a ring, perfect pair of pumps, tailored peacoat or a wool floppy hat..this color is popping up everywhere. The cooler months have never been so blue...

Color Crush: Orange

I've had a major orange crush the past couple of weeks. Blame it on Clemson football, fall leaves, or Halloween right around the corner. Orange is evermore present on my mind and these are some of my favorite picks...

Skirtin' Around

A while back, I purchased this adorable little skirt above from J. Crew. This cotton skirt with an elastic waistband has become one of my favorites to wear both at work and on the weekends. But when I really started thinking about it, it's a pretty simple garment to make. Step 1 - cotton fabric. Step 2 - wide elastic. Step 3 - get out your sewing machine. Step 4 - make an elastic casing for the waistband. Step 5 - hem bottom. Tada!
    

And that's exactly what I did. I re-created this skirt with a lovely yellow cotton blend for only $7 dollars! See below. My local fabric store is desperately lacking in their choice of elastic, so mine isn't quite as wide as I would have liked it...but it will do. When I'm feeling nautical, I can pair it with my navy and white stripe tank. All aboard!!
