[From the Archives] What to Do, See and Eat in Jekyll Island, Georgia

This past weekend my husband, Casey, and I were looking for something different to do. We hopped in the car and drove to Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Tropical Vibes

Savor Summer with A Tropical Inspired Halter Dress

How is it already July? Where has this summer gone? I'm enjoying full-on summer mode and trying to savor these sunny days. I love the fun prints and patterns that appear in summer fashion.
