weekend in charleston.

This past weekend was a great one. The BF and I went to Charleston this past weekend for my birthday. Friday night we met up with my family for dinner, cake, and fireworks to celebrate! Saturday we spent the day exploring the city and visiting some of our favorite spots. We ended the day with a great concert - City and Colour. And before heading back to Charlotte on Sunday, we spent our last few hours soaking up the sun on the beach. It was an amazing weekend- from beginning to end.

my weekend.

One of my best friends, Amy, came into town this weekend. We spent our Sunday on the beach at Sullivan's Island enjoying the perfect weather. It was seriously one of the most beautiful days...blue skies, cool breeze, and the water was the perfect temperature. While laying out in the sun reading, there was this little seagull who decided to hang out with us (literally he just scurried around our spot on the beach all day). I managed to snap a picture of the little guy.

We spent a lot of time eating at some fun restaurants around Charleston: Sunday brunch at Triangle, margaritas and dinner at Taco Boy downtown, fro-yo at FreshBerry, and breakfast at the Lost Dog cafe on Folly (it was my first visit to the Lost Dog and it was delicious!).

Other than stuffing our faces all weekend, we explored Charleston and caught up on life. Last night, we stayed up late just chatting in our pajamas before bed. It felt like we were back in our old dorm room at Clemson! Definitely a great weekend.

Happy Monday!

tumblr trends: lifestyle.

Finding myself reblogging bicycles, being out by the water, and happy people. I find these things very refreshing.

beach day.

Yesterday, I spent a nice relaxing afternoon at the beach with some friends. It was nice to just enjoy the sunshine, catch up with friends, and read a good book (i.e. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).

The gorgeous view as I headed to the beach today. Thought I would share :)

just beachy.

Definitely itching for warm weather and beach time. I have been obsessing over the first photo all week. I think it is the perfect entryway. I love the geometric wallpaper at the top of the walls and on the ceiling. And that light brown leather settee is gorgeous and still somehow comes off as a casual piece.

I am also obsessing over these two looks from Calypso. I just love white jeans for the summer and Calypso pairs them beautifully. I can't wait to see what Calypso comes up with for their Target line come May!

Happy weekend!

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

Independence Day by japoole featuring Havaianas flip flops

I'm headed to the beach this weekend to celebrate the 4th! My beach weekend inspired this polyvore creation (this was my first adventure creating on polyvore)! I wish I had all of these fun things to bring with me! I do have this month's issue of InStyle which will be coming with me :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend! Have fun and be safe!
