Back from Hilton Head

If you’ve noticed that my fashion posts for last week were scarce, it was because I was on vacation!  My mom and I took a trip to Hilton Head, SC.  It was so nice to relax, sit on the beach, and eat a ton of great food.  I’m sorry to say that I’m not ready to be back yet…!

As for fashion in Hilton Head – it is SERIOUSLY laid back.  I brought quite a few little dresses, and tended to be the most dressed up everywhere I went…  There were times I joined in the local style of athletic clothing or swim suit cover-up for going out (I was on vacation after all!), but overall still dressed in my normal attire.

 

Me & my lovely mom!

Beautiful harbor & boats I wanted to steal…

Gorgeous trees and scenery in Savannah, GA.

 

Pretty trees w/ crazy moss back in Hilton Head too!

    

Watch out for alligators!!

Swimming in the ocean – it doesn’t get much better than that  :)

Chicago Weekend

I spent a wonderful long 4th of July weekend in Chicago.  I shopped (of course) in some fabulous boutiques (vintage, new, and 2nd hand alike), ate delicious food, and spent time with some amazing women.

Ah so many lovely things in Chicago…

Shoe Shopping at Lori’s.

  

Finding mustaches…

Vegan organic bakery loving…

 

Second City comedy watching… (hmmm – do I look like a giant or is that just me?)

  

Cigar and pipe shopping (not for me though!…)

Oh so yummy flatbread breakfast!

Out of the city DeKalb shopping.

 

Tapas restaurant fabulousness… Oh so good!

 

The best Greek yogurt, honey, fruit, and granola breakfast ever.

So long Chicago.  I’ll be back again soon!

Country Lovin’

Just returning from a little getaway to the Smokey Mountains.  It was great to have some much needed quiet time away from daily stresses.  I really enjoyed the outdoors, the food, and having the time to relax.  Too bad the time goes all too quickly!  I’ll have to keep a little of that country slow moving / embrace the moment “thing” as I get back into the old grind  :)
