Friendship & Our 10 Year Reunion

This post is taking a little bit of a different weekend recap spin.  We had our 10 year reunion and Homecoming this weekend at Wofford College, and it got me thinking more about friendship.  Unfortunately, not all of our closest friends from college could make it, but we still decided to go and make the most of it.  And going…

Weekend Recap

This isn’t your normal Charleston weekend trip recap.  But this weekend, we had the pleasure of joining Southern First Bank for a retreat down at Wild Dunes Resort.  I won’t talk much about Nelson’s job or company, but I will say this; they are family and he LOVES his job.  I know that so few people can say that, but…

Fall Must-Haves from Loft

Every time Loft has an item I want, I will typically wait until their big sales to pull the trigger, because it seems like they have a 40-50% sale once a week, am I right!?  But honestly it’s become risky to wait this season, as their top picks fly off the shelf!  They are now offering 40% off all full-price…

Welcome to Atlanta….Weekend Recap

Yes….it took me a few days to recover from our busy weekend in ATL and to actually sit down and write a post.  To say we had fun would probably be an understatement, but so would saying I’m freaking tired.  These Poe boys are a blast but they are utterly exhausting, especially when we choose to go, go, go on…

Old Edwards

Last week we celebrated our 8th anniversary at Old Edwards Inn in the Highlands.  I LOVE surprises and it works against my favor most of the time, because I build up these crazy expectations in my head.  Seriously, it’s a problem…most of the time they are unrealistic, but it’s like I cannot control it, but thats a whole other post.…

Coffee & My Favorite T-shirt Dress

One of my favorite things about having this blog is connection.  One of the reasons why I started it was to share the places I love, typically here in Greenville, but also while we travel.  Village Grind is my absolute favorite coffee shop in town.  I used to not drink coffee at all, and then I started with sweet lattes…

Little Black Jumpsuit & Summer Sales

Tuesday evening, Nelson and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary with a little date night to a classic, Chophouse ’47 Steakhouse.  I have always loved Chophouse simply because going there you are guaranteed excellent service and a delicious meal.  There are tons of restaurants we could have picked from for our Anniversary date, but we also had a pile of old…
