Classic Nautical Striped Dress

Boating Around Brays Island with Vineyard Vines

Recently I visited Bray's Island, in South Carolina, and our days were spent boating, skeet shooting and horseback riding. During the spring, packing practical outfits is important because it's typically warm during the day and chilly at night. I prefer versatile outfits that easily accommodate the temperature swings. So, I turned to one of my longtime favorites, Vineyard Vines for our South Carolina bound getaway! Vineyard Vines clothing is always a great choice for a warm, coastal trip. They blend beautiful colors and preppy patterns to create an effortless look. One of my favorite outfits on this trip was their striped dress and white denim jacket. I love how the dress is super comfortable, while the chunky waist cord highlights your figure. The pockets add a special touch and the classic stripes created the perfect nautical look!

A Springtime Ensemble with Grapefruit Rosé Spritzers

The Perfect Pairing to Celebrate Spring

After moving into our new home, we discovered a huge white grapefruit tree on the side of our house. I've been searching for the perfect way to use our grapefruits ever since -- and this past weekend it finally hit me -- fresh grapefruit rosé spritzers! I've recently been on a rosé kick, especially after our trip to Napa. So one afternoon I tested out and played with a few cocktail recipes, until I created my own with the perfect balance of grapefruit & rosé. I made it the following weekend when we hosted a few friends for drinks and appetizers. Here's to inspiring you to host your own gathering for friends! Every year, I look forward to packing up my winter clothes and bringing out my cotton sundresses, off-the-shoulder tops, linen button downs, and swing skirts! On a warm…

Our Mini Guide to Brays Island

An Insider's View Of Brays Island Plantation

Recently, Kelli and I were fortunate enough to be invited to spend a few days at Brays Island. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this secluded jewel of the lowcountry, it is a private island off the coast of South Carolina, between Savannah and Charleston. It's only a two hour drive from Saint Simons. The island is only accessible to residential owners and their guests, so to be extended an invitation was a real treat. Every aspect of Brays Island is magical. If you are ever given the opportunity to visit, don't pass it up! So, today I'm sharing our insider view in the hopes that you are just as inspired to enjoy more outdoor activities this summer! Brays Island Inn We loved EVERYTHING about the Inn, which is a restored plantation home right…
