Gearing Up for Fall

Transition to Fall Fashion with J.McLaughlin

J.McLaughlin

This Post is in Partnership with J.McLaughlin. Thank You for Supporting Brands that Support Lavin Label. I already have a few Northern trips planned this fall to experience cooler temperatures and see fall foliage. Living in the South, late August to September can be a difficult time for fashion. It's still 80 degrees or warmer in the South but as soon as you head up North for a weekend getaway the temperatures typically drop to the 60s or even lower! So this is the time when I start buying clothes wisely to help me with the transition. As you can probably see from my Instagram feed, I prefer classic pieces that will remain relevant from year-to-year which is why I love J.McLaughlin. My most recent obsession has been this black sleeveless jumpsuit. The lightweight…

Nantucket Mini Travel Guide

My Favorite Things To Do Around the Island

Mini Travel Guide to Nantucket

This Post is in Partnership with JetBlue. Thank You for Supporting Brands that Support Lavin Label. Last summer, I had the pleasure of traveling to Nantucket for the #CBCSummerHouse. It was my first time to this picturesque island and I immediately fell in love. What's not to love about Nantucket? It's filled with an abundance of flowers, cobblestone streets, weathered grey shingle homes, great food and some pretty spectacular sunsets. So when I had the opportunity to travel back to this dreamy island with JetBlue last week, I quickly packed my bags. Nantucket is becoming my new favorite summer getaway. And since JetBlue has service from Savannah to ACK (with a quick stop at JFK), I may be retreating to this 14 mile long Island more often. During my visit, I teamed up with…

Art of the Entry: Seaside Cottage

Recreate The Look of This European Inspired Home

What I Love: My eyes are drawn to pretty pastel colors, so I'm obsessed with the pale blue doors and matching wooden shutters against the lush lowcountry landscape. Recreate the Look: Front Door. Paint your front door pale blue with white trim. This custom door really creates an impact for this entry. Paint Colors. Since my recent trip to France, I've been in love with pastel colors, especially light pink and blue. When I stumble upon a home and I'm unsure of a paint color, I open my Benjamin Moore Color Capture App. It allows you to upload a picture that you have on file or that you've just taken and it matches it with a handful of their available colors. It's been very handy as I'm in the process of picking out a…

A Breakdown of My Daily Skincare Routine

My Favorite Skincare Products for Healthier Skin

Green Beauty One Love

Ever since I've switched up my skincare routine (and stuck with it), I've had some pretty amazing results. I hardly get any breakouts and my skin overall feels cleaner and healthier since I've been using One Love Organics. I've been meaning to share with you my full skincare routine since I've noticed a big difference this past spring (and just so you know this post is NOT sponsored in anyway). It's just really working for me and hopefully it will for you too if you're looking to switch things up. One Love Organics also offers trial sizes in many of their products to make it easier on your wallet as you're figuring out your skincare routine. Morning: Cleanse using Vitamin B Cleansing Oil + Makeup Remover ($42). I use the French Pink Clay Sponge ($10)…
