Peach Floral Romper

As soon as we confirmed that Charleston was in our travel plans, I knew this romper would be the first piece I packed. I purchased it last summer for my birthday and it's still one of my favourite and most cherished pieces. I mean… it's floral, totally feminine, but also a touch sultry in a laid back kind-of-way. Although it has longer sleeves, the flare on the sleeves and on the shorts allowed me to catch the cool breeze among the intense and humid southern heat. I love how the floral print has just the right amount of colour, and it's bold without being too overpowering. We walked for hours on end discovering the hidden gems in historic Charleston, all while finding the prettiest houses-- I really couldn't decide which one was my favourite! I was like a child in a candy store finding all the homes that complemented my outfit. Thank goodness for Brandon's patience with the camera! Even though we've been home for a week now I'm still dreaming of the perfectly preserved historical houses, painted in pastel hues, accented with colourful shutters and that sit upon beautiful flower-lined streets.  

I can't be the only one that coordinates outfits to fit the vibe of my destination… Tell me you match your outfit to truly reflect where you're headed, too!

White Lace Romper

If there is one thing you must prepare yourself for the summer in Charleston, it's the humidity. My philosophy while outfit planning for our stay was the easier and breezier, the better. I found this romper at a beloved Toronto boutique, "The Store on Queen", and I knew it would be the perfect piece for a night out in Charleston. I love rompers for their easy and simplicity. This one, with its high collar, open sides and fringe detailing, sold me right away. I love that I can throw it on over a bathing suit for the beach, or dress it up with a belt and a clutch for the evening (just bring on the sick on bra!). Pairing this piece with sandals was a no-brainer, as we walked endlessly from the upper King Street area down to the quaint and charming streets of historic Charleston. Stay tuned for more on on this lovely city, including where we dined and shopped!

Snaps from the South

Last week we took a little southern vacation to South Carolina (which I'm sure you are aware if you've been following along on Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat). We met up with B's family in Myrtle Beach for a few days and then rented a car for a road trip to Charleston. I will be putting together a mini travel diary for Charleston because I simply fell in love with the town; the beautiful architecture, the mouth-watering food, the friendly people- it was all so lovely! While in Myrtle Beach we took advantage of some serious beach time. The weather was perfect, and we celebrated our first ever Fourth of July. Here are a few iPhone snaps of our southern stay.
