What to Wear to Southern Grown Festival

This Post is in Partnership with the Cloister Collection. If you've been following Lavin Label over the past few weeks then you already know about Sea Island's Southern Grown festival, which will be here in less than two weeks! It's a festival in the Golden Isles that celebrates Southern food, drink and music. I'll be spending my four-day weekend partying with Garden & Gun, eating delicious food by award-winning chefs and listening to Grammy-award winning artists. So I definitely need to plan out what I'm going to wear to these fabulous events! For those of you attending Southern Grown, or any festival this summer, head over to the Cloister Collection (online + in stores) to find the perfect summertime outfit. One of the events that I'm really looking forward to is the Marketplace at Rainbow Island. The team…

When I first started Lavin Label, a friend gave me a gift to show her support for my new adventure. When I opened the box, it was an Ashley Brooke Designs Notebook with the words ‘All The Secrets’.

This Post is in Partnership with J.Crew Factory and JetBlue Getaways. You know that favorite dress in your closet that you always gravitate towards? Well this black and white stripe dress is mine! While I always love stripes, this dress is even more flattering than most! The fit and flare cut of the dress makes it so comfortable, thus it was the perfect look to wear around our resort in Turks and Caicos. I paired it with my black canvas espadrille wedges -- which I've worn so many times since then, including to my birthday party last week! I completed the look with J.Crew Factory's leather bucket bag, which provided just the right contrast of color. During our stay at Seven Stars, Kelli and I grabbed breakfast at their incredible restaurant, Seven, every morning, where we yearned for their scrambled eggs with cheese, fresh…

Polka Dot T-Shirt Dress

The Classic Print for Summer

I absolutely love dresses, thus I always opt to wear one instead of a pair of jeans, shorts or a skirt. You may be wondering why, and the truth is that if you find the right dress, it can be comfortable, stylish and easy since you don't have to put together an entire outfit. It's so nice to just slip it on and head out the door! I typically work from home or Wake Up Coffee on St. Simons, and you can always find me either wearing yoga pants and a pullover or a dress. I guess I go from one extreme to the other, but I'm always in search of perfect pieces to add to my wardrobe that blend comfort and fashion. Since I tend to lean toward dresses, when I find one that's flattering and also has a fun print, I…

For those of us living on St. Simons, we're fortunate that the island is home to the only Tibi Outlet in the world! As you may already know, Tibi just moved their storefront to a new space, conveniently located near Sea Island and down the street from The Vine and Cloth and Label. I couldn't be more excited that their new address is 120 Market Street, which is just a bike ride away from our new home! The designer and creative director, Amy Smilovic, was born and raised on Saint Simons. With no formal background in fashion, she has built an incredible brand and name recognition in less than 20 years. She saw a market in clothes that fell in between the sleek lines of Armani, and the mass-produced clothes at Gap. She also realized that the market would soon transition away from…
