Weekend Trip: Savannah at Night and Hilton Head Island

First- Saturday night. I went to downtown Savannah for awesome food, music, and art.

Street Style:

I saw this cute couple by the fountain and just had to ask for a picture...I love her dress and bag, and the white was perfect for the late summer night. 

And the next day....

Hilton Head Island

As you can see, I reused all of the accessories from yesterday's outfit. This makes packing a lot easier. I used the same hat, one of the pearl bracelets, and the belt and shoes. 

Also, you may remember that I packed in a teeney tiny weekend bag. But I had a very flexible wardrobe ready for whatever the weather brought. 

Here's the complete list of what I brought:

-Blue sleeveless shirt

-White tank top

-Denim shorts

-Grey cardigan

-Blue sheer cardigan

-Red dress

-Skinny jeans

-Hat, sunnies, pearl bracelets, belt, silver shoes, penny loafers (in case I got blisters from the other ones, didn't end up using them)

-PJ's, of course!

Out of this, I made the two outfits you saw, but if the weather changed its mind, the different layers could be re-combined to create more appropriate outfits. This technique also makes you feel like you've brought several options, not just enough for an extra day.

Right before I changed into my bathing suit!

The waves were perfect for swimming, and the weather was beautiful.

Stay Beautiful,

I'm exploring the shops and beaches near the Great Lakes area for this weak, so here's a vacation look. I was with my parents shopping in a cute little town where shops are right on the docks. You can watch the boats comes in and buy jewelry in teeny tiny shops the size of a closet. We were walking down the street, all going in different directions, when my dad came up to me and said that I should check out one of the stores, because they had "cute things" and the "prices weren't that bad".

Which to me, sounded like "Pick out a dress. I'm buying."

Yes, I am wearing a swimsuit under my dress. Yay vacation!

This was an easy hairstyle I did by braiding a section of hair and using it as a head band. It's held with Bobbi pins on the other side of my head. I wish I had a big red flower to clip over the pins, but it still turned out pretty nicely. I used Paul Mitchell Sea Salt Spray to give it a beach-y look. This also helps the braid stay in.

I bought the jewelry in a small shop in Leeland. Several tourist shops try to charge horrible prices, but if you look in the right spot, you can find the stuff that wont break the bank. The two bracelets and the necklace were about $15 all together.

I'm leaving Traverse City now, but I've got a surprise for tomorrow's post. Something a little... different. See you here. :)
