Effortless Sundress

Blue and White Embroidered Dress

Grapefruit Stovetop Potpourri

Since we're leaving for Provence, France in a few weeks (I seriously cannot wait) I'm stocking up on summer dresses! I love to find good deals on dresses that are comfortable yet stylish. One of my go-to sites for dresses and bags is Zara and I recently found this blue and white stripe beauty for $70! I always get so many compliments on this dress so I thought that I'd share this great find with you! It's perfect for spring temperatures because of the long sleeve and ankle length hem. The beautiful white embroidery and the belt give it a polished and sophisticated look. I'll throw on this dress with a pair of light blue mules from Stubbs and Wootton to wear during the day, like I did when I made my stovetop lavender and grapefruit…

Our Next Chapter

Lavin Label is Moving to a New City!

Around Savannah with James Gunn

This time of year is usually hectic for us but this year it's going to be unusually chaotic! Casey and I have made a really big decision last week and I couldn't wait to share the exciting news with you! We're moving to Savannah, Georgia!! Casey resigned as the Vice President of Sea Island Company last week to accept an offer with Montage Palmetto Bluff as the new General Manager. We're so excited for this opportunity and look forward to our new adventure ahead! It's bittersweet because we love our Sea Island family and St. Simon's community. We have so many dear friends and family on this precious Island which is why decided to keep our house here. That way, we can come back frequently and still stay immersed in the community, especially since…

HGTV Smart Home Tour

A Coastal Inspired Home Located in Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina

HGTV Smart Home 2018 in Bluffton, SC

Last week, I had the opportunity to tour the HGTV Smart Home located in Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina. Palmetto Bluff as you may know is one of my favorite places so Casey and I try to visit at least once or twice a year. The Smart Home is located in a new neighborhood in the Bluff known as Moreland. It has a very casual, 'oyster shucking near the water' kinda vibe. So naturally I love it! As an alumni of The Southern C Summit I was invited to tour the home as part of the Influencer Event. It was so much fun to be able to meet the designer, Tiffany Brooks, catch up with alums and see the house in-person! It definitely did not disappoint. Today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite rooms…

Outdoor Patio Tablescape

This Post is in Partnership with Christmas Tree Shops AndThat! All Opinions and Content are my own. Thank you for Supporting Brands that Support Lavin Label! This year, we're actually experiencing spring in Southern Georgia which means that it is the perfect weather for outdoor dining! Typically, we have a week or two of 70 degree temperatures and then it goes straight to the upper 80s with high humidity! With spring-time temperatures and low humidity here to stay (at least for a little while) it's the perfect time to enjoy outdoor dining on our newly renovated patio! As a result, I partnered with Christmas Tree Shops AndThat! to refresh my outdoor dinnerware. Christmas Tree Shops AndThat! just launched a collection with Coastal Living ranging from patio furniture and home textiles to entertaining essentials and outdoor cushions. I couldn't wait…

Grapefruit and Lavender Stovetop Potpourri

A Fresh + Fruit Forward Potpourri for Spring

Grapefruit Stovetop Potpourri

I love to do little things around the house to make it feel like spring. Luckily, I have a huge grapefruit tree in my backyard just waiting for me to pick them! So a stovetop potpourri with grapefruit and lavender came to mind. It's such a fresh + fruit forward fragrance making it perfect for springtime. This easy recipe is sure to make your home smell good! I always make my stovetop potpourri in my Le Creuset cookware because it's easy to clean up and looks beautiful when it's not in use! Directions: In a saucepan, combine 3 cups of water, 3 grapefruits (sliced), 4-5 sprigs of lavender and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. Bring the water to a boil. Then let simmer. I let it simmer for about 45 minutes and my house smelled…
