Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend as much as I have! It’s been a blast to have my girlfriends Lauren, Mackenzie, Ali, and Carly here in Charleston. We’ve spent the whole weekend exploring, walking, and eating our way through the city, which has been wonderful. A girls weekend is just good for the soul! We’re staying at The Inns and, after staying here myself, I cannot say enough amazing things about it (you might remember The Inns from my Charleston holiday giveaway)! The location is amazing and it is so so adorable. Any place with a side porch is a 100 in my book! I would recommend The Inns to absolutely anyone!
Any who, does anyone have any fun Super Bowl plans!? My night is going to be pretty low key, which is just what the doctor ordered! Keep reading for my Weekend Reads, No. 90 complete with the one thing Marie Kondo regrets giving away, how to invest wisely in vintage, inspired Valentine’s Day ideas, a great read from Damsel in Dior about her pregnancy weight gain, the new jewelry company I’m over the moon in love with, and more!
