10.21.16 Friday Favorites

Good Friday Morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful week and is super excited about the weekend! Last weekend we visited Fall for Greenville and this weekend its Sippin Simpsononville.  Tis the season for town festivals!  :)

Here's a list of the the things that caught my eye and made me swoon throughout this past week!

1.  Moon and Lola State Jewelry

I love anything state pride related!  So, when I saw this post on Moon and Lola's Instagram this week, I was like "Ohhhhh!!"  I would love to see some South Carolina pieces!!

2.  Cobblestone Homes

I love a good neutral toned living room!  When I saw this on Cobblestone Homes' Instagram this week, I fell in love with the neutral colors and the rustic beams on the ceiling!  And the chandelier!  So cozy!  Awesome job Cobblestone Homes!

3.  Coastal Kelder Greenville Pillow

Like I said about my obsession with state things, I'm the same way with hometown stuff!  Check out this Greenville pillow by the talented Coastal Kelder!  It is absolutely adorable and full of good ol' Greenville pride!

4.  Plaid Skirt on Hiliary Rose's Instagram

I'm a sucker for a good plaid anything during fall and winter.  How gorgeous is this long flowy skirt?! Hilary Rose always has the best style and I think she could literally pull any trend off!

5. Trust Your Journey

I saw these bracelets on Mast General's Instagram this week and was curious to find out more information.  Trust Your Journey was created by a cancer survivor and a young widowed mother.  Together they created "Trust Your Journey" to inspire others who are going through a difficult time.  I love this message!  These pink bracelets would be great gifts for someone you know in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month!

6. Lianahee Drawing

I'm obsessed with Lianahee's adorable drawings!  Every time she posts one, I think "Oh! This one is my favorite!"  How stinkin cute is this one in a plaid cape though!?  LOVE!!

Friday Favorites 08.26.16

Happy Friday yall!  This week we took a much needed mini vacation with some great friends and headed to the coast.  We spent a long weekend in Florida and stopped to sight see on the way down and on the way back.  This week's Friday Favorites is vacation inspired. ;)  Here are some of my favorite things from our Florida trip!

1. The Conch House 

The Conch House  in St. Augustine, Florida has been one of my favorite beachy restaurants for over 13 years now.  It's like going to the Caribbean without ever leaving the states.  They have a ton of outdoor seating, but my absolute favorite places to sit are the little tiki huts that they have above the marsh.  They all have a great view of the marina and of the St. Augustine lighthouse.  It's a great place to watch for fish, dolphins, and even alligators.  You definitely have to get a pina colada and the calamari.  They will be the best you've ever had!

2.  The Red Pineapple

If you know me, you know about my obsession with pineapples.  So, of course the name of this store made me curious to see what was inside!  This little boutique in downtown St. Augustine is adorable! (Even if I didn't see any pineapples inside).   They have everything from cute clothes, jewelry, home decor, etc.  It's like Anthropologie and a small town boutique collided and made a perfect little store!  Check it out if you're in the area!

3.  Bracelet @ 29 Olives

This boutique in downtown St. Augustine was super cute!  I loved this "Be Brave & Keep Going" bracelet.

4.  Converse

I bought my first pair of Converse in Jacksonville, Florida over 13 years ago.  So, how fitting was it to get another pair while I was there this time?  I actually still have those black Converse and wear them from time to time, but I wanted a gray pair.  I got these at DSW at the St. Johns Town Center.  I think I've worn them everyday since we got back from our trip.  Love them!

5.  Homewood Suites Jacksonville at the St. Johns Town Center

I'm super picky about hotels and this is one of my favorite places to stay in Florida.  It's an awesome location, the hotel staff is amazingly nice, the rooms are clean and spacious, and did I mention the location is great!?  Target, The Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Panera, Dillards, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Louis Vuitton, JoAnns Fabric, Pottery Barn,  DSW, etc are all within walking distance.  It's a shoppers dream!  Literally, any store or restaurant you could ever think of, are all in one location.  Definitely visit the St. Johns Town Center and stay at the Homewood Suites!

6.  Teri Whitner Art - Ornament

On the way back home, we stopped by Charleston, South Carolina and went to the Market. The beautiful handcrafted pottery by Teri Whitner caught my eye.  We came home with these two ornaments, but all of the bowls and platters were amazing!  Check out her etsy shop!
