Summer Lovin’

Every beach getaway deserves a new swimsuit, so I was especially grateful that Orchid Boutique offered to send one over just in time for our South Carolina vacation. The shop offers an array of beach essentials and has already become my go-to destination for flattering one-piece swimsuits.

I fell for the whimsical updates on this classic navy swimsuit. There’s enough ruching to hide trouble spots and the box pleats are a welcome way to boost my small bust. A word of warning to other ladies with full hips: this suit is difficult to hike up. I had chosen my regular size (I didn’t want it to be too large on top), but I’d recommend sizing up if you’re blessed with an hourglass figure. It comes with a detachable halter strap if you’re looking for additional support.

Really, though, I felt beautiful in this swimsuit and isn’t that what matters most? (Truth be told, I didn’t feel as confident as the bikini-clad gal on the beach nearby. Her boyfriend was snapping photos of her in some awfully risque poses!)

Postcards from Folly Beach

We spent the first three nights of our vacation in Folly Beach where we had a spectacular view from our room at the beachfront Tides hotel.

image

Mornings were spent lazily sipping iced coffee by the pool…

image

…and stumbling across critters like this horseshoe crab.

image

Lost Dog Cafe was our daily stop for a hearty brunch and drinks served in Mason jars.

image

We took a private charter boat over to Morris Island, an uninhabited island and location of the Civil War battle featured in the movie Glory. On the way over, Captain Gresh pointed out Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (the first time I’ve seen them in the wild) and oyster beds.

image

We headed up the shoreline of Folly Beach to a more secluded area of the coast for an evening stroll. (I don’t think Dave knew I was busy snapping photos of him.)

image

It’s hard to see in this photo, but there were little pelicans perched atop the Folly Beach street signs.

image

Honestly, I was probably looking for shells at this moment. (The retro-esque beach coverup was purchased at eShakti.)

image

I’ll never grow tired of serene beach sunsets…

image

…or vibrant sunny days.

image

And, in true blogger fashion, I took an obscene amount of Instagrams.

I’ll share photos of Savannah and Charleston soon!

For You…


A cozy sweater with an oversize fit is my fall and winter go-to. This one comes in six colors.

For Home…


I recently purchased these brass coasters, and they’re going to get even better with age as they develop a patina. They’re a great holiday gift or housewarming present.
