Oh in Savannah, Way Down in Georgia

Some days, I get an urge to just quit my job, pack a bag, and leave for a place I've never been. Lately, that place in mind is Savannah, Georgia. A friend of mine recently went there for a wedding, and he loved it. Of course, I've heard plenty about how beautiful and captivating Savannah is, but I've never experienced it for myself. I hope to change that and travel to the city in the near future!

I absolutely love historical homes (and really just history in general), and my, oh my Savannah has plenty of both to offer.

I've heard they have an abundance of fountains and gardens. When I went to Paris, I remember the fountains of Versailles were so grand and elegant. I've had an interest in fountains and gardens ever since.

I'm a beach girl, so I find little things in life more satisfying than a beautiful city located so closely to a beautiful beach. Tybee Island has been on my list of beaches to visit for awhile especially after glancing through all of the beautiful pictures of the lighthouses.

I'm always attracted to a lively downtown, and I think that I would fit in nicely in downtown Savannah with all of the vibrant shops and eateries.

And how could I make a post about Savannah and not mention their annual St. Patrick's Day celebration? I would love to get a big group of friends together and visit this wild celebration just once! Not sure my liver or my sanity can handle attending more than once.

Birthday Weekend Getaway

Anthropologie Dress | Urban Outfitters Denim Jacket (different wash) | Tory Burch Calista Boots (sold out)--try these or these | Bracelets (from top to bottom) ReeceBlaire, Madewell, Loren Hope

I wore this outfit last weekend in the mountains. My mom and I took a trip to Blowing Rock for my 24th birthday. (Gah, I feel old) That's been a tradition of ours since my 16th birthday. We missed a couple of birthdays while I was in college, but since I've graduated we've made sure to start it back up!

We spent all of Saturday shopping downtown. I visited some of my favorite boutiques like Monkees and Finley House Couture, and I also discovered a brand new adorable little boutique called Boone Belles. They had the cutest boutique clothing for the best prices. They have a location in Blowing Rock and one in Boone, so if you are ever in the area, you should definitely check them out!

For dinner, we ate at the Best Cellar located in the Ragged Gardens Inn. I love the atmosphere there and the views of the gardens are amazing. We both got seafood, and it was absolutely delicious. We only stayed one night, but I really enjoyed the little get-away with my mom. It was a nice break from reality, and I can't wait for our next trip.

Hope you all had a happy weekend! Thanks for stopping by :)

All About that One Piece

I absolutely love one piece bathing suits this year! I have found so many different styles, and I'm seriously considering wearing all one pieces this summer and giving my bikinis a break. I especially love the ones with cut out backs and fully covered fronts since my stomach is my problem area, and I definitely don't have my dream beach body as of yet. That way, I can show off the good and conceal the bad. It's a win-win! 

Here are a few of my favorites that I can't wait to get my hands on. What is your take on the one piece swimsuit trend?
