My sweet mom is always up for entertaining, which I absolutely love. She's also always up for some DIY fun. She invited Whitney and myself over to make our pinterest fall wreath dreams come true. We snacked on some apps (homemade pimento cheese and meatball subs!!) and then we got to work. I may have ended up crying a few tears after a painful encounter with a hot glue gun but it was still a great night. Even if my middle finger on my left hand is pretty much ruined right now. This paragraph has taken way too long to type. So, now I'll hush.... and give my finger a rest. 

Whitney's, mine & Mom's finished products below!

I'm going to add some white polkadots on my E and Mom still has to finish her bow, but I'm so happy with how they all turned out. They fit our style and personality so well :)

& of course we had the cutest helper around to make sure our wreaths were perfect, sweet Bella!

Money Well Spent.

I am so excited to share this fun little purchase with all of you! The lovely lady behind Our Yellow Door mentioned a few weeks back that she was making and selling the beautiful braided hex nut wrap bracelets above to help raise money for her trip to The Influence Conference. Since I dream of attending that wonderful conference one day, I felt a huge desire to help Rachel with her journey. The bracelet is only $8 WITH Shipping, what a steal, right?

Savannah Weekend // pt.2

Here we go with the last blog post about Savannah, or at least for now.... I'm hoping to sneak away to Savannah again with my handsome man sometime soon. Anyways, back to this trip!!

The nights in Savannah were beautiful and the food was even better. On Friday night we did some sightseeing and stumbled upon a corner restaurant for a drink but after seeing the menu we knew we had to have dinner. I had the BEST Shrimp and Grits I've ever had in my life and after a cup of coffee we enjoyed a show at the Old Savannah Theater. It really was such a fun night! 

Saturday night was an entire different world in downtown Savannah! It was loud and busy, and after searching for a VERY long time, we finally found a parking spot. It was conveniently across the street from an amazing pizza spot and we were craving pizza. NY style, as big as your face, and cheeeeaaap. Perfection! Add a beer and some live music down the street and we had another fun night!

^^ this pesto...... Oh. My.

the waitress told us that their homemade pesto was incredible, so we clearly asked for a sample.

& I might have had some dreams about it since we've been home.

^^ this sweet little horse named, Guinness, turned and posed for me!

Sunday was the perfect shady day for last minute sightseeing and some souvenir shopping. 

We walked down the beautiful streets lined with the gorgeous live oak trees before our ride home. 

Such a wonderful trip and I loved every second of making memories with my Mom.

We are thinking that next year's trip will be in Charlotte....?
Any fun places you all would like to recommend?? We are all ears!

Fall Neutrals.

One of my favorite trends for every fall would definitely be the warm neutrals. I love the cozy and easy style that the earth tones create. I'm also loving the amazing weather that we are having right now! It feels like Fall has almost arrived and I'm praying that it is here to stay, especially after a super hot weekend in Savannah. Greenville was so kind to welcome us with an amazing cool breeze and I was more than happy to pull out this neutral sweater. It is such a great piece for the fall transition months even if the sleeves need to be pushed up a little.

Sights + Seats // Tequila's Town

I tried my best to plan several surprises for my Mom as a birthday gift during our weekend in Savannah but I’m not that great at surprises because I get too excited and usually spill the beans so I tried my best to hold them in during the weekend. One of the surprises over the weekend was dinner plans at a highly rated Mexican restaurant since we both LOVE anything that includes salsa and margaritas! While we were searching for lunch on Friday (the day that I had planned the surprise dinner) we turned the corner and what was staring us straight in the face? Yup, you guessed it, Tequila's Town. And what did Mom say pretty soon after we spotted the fun Mexican restaurant? Ding, ding, ding.... right again, we should go eat at the Mexican restaurant we saw earlier! Of course I caved and told her that was the spot for her surprise dinner which instantly caused my mom to burst with laughter. We both decided that we couldn’t wait till dinner because we were starving and we could eat chips and salsa for breakfast, lunch & dinner any day. So, we went. And it was amazing!
