2 Coats You Need To Know About

It's always about this time each year I start my Fall/Winter coat search. I look through roughly 100-ish options and buy several to try-on at home. Then, I narrow it down to 3 or 4 that I want to keep. All in the name of research, right? Finding the right kind of outerwear is key for a well rounded closet.

Everything I packed for Hilton Head

Over the weekend, I went to Hilton Head to celebrate my SIL's bachelorette party. It was so much fun, but I was quickly reminded how I simply can't hang like I used to. Austin's sister, Caroline, and her friends were 7-8 years younger than me and let's just say, I needed my rest. It was such a blast though and honestly, I needed a little weekend getaway. Should I share our itinerary and where we went in Hilton Head? I did pack a few outfits that I loved getting to wear on the island. And if you follow me on IG, you know I am quite the planner when it comes to packing. I just find it so much easier to know exactly what I am wearing for each event and it also helps me not overpack. ...
