This Post is in Partnership with Cloister Collection. Happy Memorial Day Week! I have always loved this holiday, partly because my birthday falls right around the weekend, so I typically enjoy a multi day party. I also love summer and hot weather -- so it's a wonderful opportunity to usher in summer and spend the weekend outside celebrating with friends and family. Today I'm sharing a casual, lightweight weave dress that's perfect for a warm southern day or summer holiday! I'm very lucky to be able to rely on the Cloister Collection, a fashion boutique on St. Simon's Island, to find the perfect outfit for nearly any occasion. They're always on the hunt for upcoming popular brands, like BCBGMaxaria, Mara Hoffman, Free People, Lilly Pulitzer, Show me your MuMu, AG Jeans and more. The last time I stopped by, I was…

New Home Renovation

Oh heavens! I've been anxious to write this post for a long time! We just closed on our house a week ago and I can't believe that this is going to be what we call our home in just a few months! As you can see the house needs a good bit of work but the bones of the house are great and we love all of the character! So we're spending the next few months working with our contractor and our designer to help us bring our dreams to life. I can't wait to document the renovation process and to see how it all comes together! Right now, we're in the process of finalizing the floor plan and trying to make the best use of the space. We plan to pretty much take down most of…

This Post is in Partnership with J.Crew Factory and JetBlue. On my recent JetBlue Getaways trip to the Turks and Caicos, we explored the quaint little village on Providenciales Island. Not only is the village reflective of the tropical island where it is located, but there are bright whites, pops of blue, and bougainvillea everywhere! It was the perfect backdrop for my J.Crew Factory white + navy outfit. As you know, we stayed at the Seven Stars Resort, which is a short five minute walk from the small shopping village. It's a fabulous way to spend the afternoon if you're looking for ice cream (which I always am!), souvenirs for friends and even fun jewelry! There were also some charming restaurants that would make the perfect spot for a casual lunch. The best part is that no matter where you…

This Post is in Partnership with JetBlue + J.Crew Factory. Here on the island, it's finally swimsuit weather, and I'm ready to take on summer with my gingham swimsuit (top and bottoms) from J.Crew factory! When I came across this suit, I knew I needed it for my recent vacation with JetBlue Getaway. We stayed at the Seven Stars Resort in the Turks and Caicos! The crystal clear blue waters on Grace Bay could not possibly be any more beautiful! If you ever get the chance to see their pristine, white sandy beaches that give way to seemingly forever clear seas, it is a memory that will always be engrained in your mind. Needless to say, we really enjoyed spending the day by the ocean and even taking naps and waking up seaside. For my beach day, I chose…

The Vine

Landscape Design, Event Design and A Garden Market on St. Simon's Island, GA

You probably already heard of The Vine, a local company that has an impeccable reputation for event and landscape design throughout Southeast, Georgia. I love working with the owners, Kelly Revels and Bryce Brock, and their team at the Vine for my Lavin Label stories. They truly are quite a talented team. I constantly get asked about The Vine since they frequently are featured on my Instagram, so I decided to highlight this talented business on Lavin Label today. They recently launched a new logo and revamped their garden market, which is located at 12 Market Street on St. Simons Island. Bryce oversees the landscape design portion of the company. She'll work with clients to accentuate the beauty of the property by carefully choosing plants, flowers, and other greenery that suits this climate. Kelly works closely with the event design team where she helps brides,…
