A Versatile, Everyday Dress

A Nautical Inspired Dress for the Summer Months

Tuckernuck Dress

I always say there's no need to change a good thing. That's why I've stuck with Tuckernuck ever since I discovered this online shopping destination for pretty + classic clothes. I already covered them on Lavin Label (here and here), but recently I fell in love with this fishnet boardwalk dress from Sailor - Sailor! This is just one of many incredible brands featured on Tuckernuck. Kim and Kimberly launched Sailor - Sailor, their lifestyle and nautical collection, in 2014. They draw inspiration from their coastal life, and their brand focuses on timeless style. Most of their collection is made from performance fabrics, so you can be active during the day and look fashionable at night. I packed this beauty on my recent trip to Hawaii and I'm so glad that I did because I used it three times in two…

Since I've been home and reflected upon my trip to Hawaii, it truly feels like an incredible dream! We stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, which had perfect views of the crystal clear waters and picturesque tropical grounds. On the North Kona Coast of Hawaii Island, this resort is known for it's pristine white sandy beaches, glimmering oceanfront, and even black-lava landscapes. The resort truly has something for everyone--from championship golf, to fresh island dining that highlights the Hawaiian harvest, and the true Aloha spirit. As a resident of the Georgia Coast, I have a deep-rooted appreciation for sea turtles and love to see them hatching in the warmer spring and summer months. During our trip, we were fortunate to witness the multitude of sea turtles that were strewn along the Kona beaches. While packing for…

When I think of the Fourth of July, family picnics on a hot summer day immediately come to mind. I've come up with the perfect treat to bring to your picnic that's not only refreshing but also sure to be a crowd pleaser. When you're preparing for your picnic, pick out a large ripe watermelon and slice it into pie-shaped pieces. Insert popsicle sticks into the rind of each piece to make it easier to eat and less messy. If you prefer, you can garnish it when you're setting out the picnic, that way the presentation looks better. Make sure to bring feta cheese crumbles and basil to sprinkle on top. This is the perfect treat because the salty feta cheese balances out the sweet watermelon, while the basil provides the perfect hint of flavor. It surely…

This Post is in Partnership with Coolibar. All Opinions are 100% my Own. I've already gushed over Coolibar's sun-protective dresses in a recent post. Today I'm bringing you one of my favorite tunics and hat from Coolibar since I love their soft fabrics and stylish ways. Living in a sunny coastal town, it's important to have protective clothing that keeps me safe from the sun's harsh rays. I paired the Coola sunscreen, seaboard cover up, their sun hat (and of course my faithful Jack Rogers) for a beach ready and worry free look. The Taupe Leaves Tunic gathers at the waist, so you can adjust the fit as well as keep the sleeves rolled up, thanks to the buttons. For me, it's the small details that make Coolibar stand out against its competitors. Also, their fabrics have UPF 50+ protection which blocks 98% of harmful UVA/UVB rays and is the…

A major plus is all of the outdoor activities that are available, such as stand up paddle boarding, boating, sailing, tennis, and biking. Casey and I love to fill our summer time calendars with these outdoor pursuits. Any time we have visitors always they loves spending time at the beach– however, we have to be careful because of the intense sun and heat.
