This Post is in Partnership with Vineyard Vines. A Brand I love and Adore. Opinions are 100% my own. Every summer, I have a casual go-to outfit in my wardrobe for those unexpected summer adventures. This definitely came in handy while I was exploring the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I usually opt for more classic looks since I will wear them more often and sometimes can wear them for more than one season. Vineyard Vines is one of my favorite brands for every day summer style because of their coastal inspiration and preppy trends. Thus Vineyard Vines was the perfect match for my beach getaway. For our last day of exploring the OBX, I opted for this three quarter length blue linen shirt and these white eyelet shorts. Linen is a fabulous summer fabric due to it's…

This Post is in Partnership with the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. Opinions are 100% my own. I hope that you’ve enjoyed Part I of my guide to the Outer Banks, North Carolina! It was such an eventful trip that I had to split up my experience into two parts. There's so much to do in the OBX – whether you prefer to spend your day exploring the different islands, museum hopping, or just soaking up the sun at their soft and expansive beaches – there is surely something for everyone. Hopefully my recap of our adventures will inspire you to book a trip or even give you ideas for your itinerary if you're already planning on visiting. Explore the Town of Duck. Duck Donuts. Prior to our trip, I reached out to my Instagram friends for their top…

I'm loving the new Tibi location on St. Simons -- maybe even a little too much because I constantly find myself in their store browsing for a new flowy dress. It didn't help that last weekend was Sea Island's Southern Grown Festival so I relied on the Tibi Outlet and the Cloister Collection for the perfect wardrobe for the event-filled four-day weekend. On my last visit, Ginny, the Tibi store manager was wearing a navy satin poplin dress that I fell in love with. I tried it on and it fit perfectly, so I snagged it up right away. I paired it with my new sand lace-up sandals from Loeffler Randall (which I pretty much wear with everything). I donned this ruffle dress for Garden & Gun's Southerner's Cookbook Luncheon last Thursday. While I wore this for a more casual event, it can…

This Post is in Partnership with Coolibar. Opinions are 100% my own. Yesterday I recapped my recent trip to the Outer Banks. As I was gearing up for this trip, I knew I needed to pack accordingly. Since the Outer Banks consists of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, I figured we would spend a good bit of time in the sun. Luckily, Coolibar offers protective clothing so you never have to worry about getting too much sun exposure and can spend all of your time focusing on the gorgeous views! I learned about Coolibar at the Southern C Summit this past April. Their clothes are UPF 50+, which blocks 98% of harmful UV radiation. I ordered their cowl neck pullover in white and I wear it ALL THE TIME. Since the material is so lightweight and super…

This Post is in Partnership with the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. Opinions are 100% my own. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of collaborating with the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau in order to create a mini travel guide just for you! Kelli Boyd, from Kelli Boyd Photography, and I packed the car and headed to the North Carolina coast. We're always up for a road trip, especially when it involves a beach destination. Pulling up to the gorgeous beachfront home in Nags Head, graciously provided by Carolina Designs Realty, instantly set the tone for an amazing trip. Upon arrival we met the other influencers that made this trip a reality, namely Meg Biram, Pretty in the Pines, Feast + West  and Spicy Candy DC. Our large beach bungalow was located right next to Jennette's Pier, a prime fishing spot. I was totally impressed with the expansive and soft…
