If you follow me on Instagram then you probably already know that my family and I took a little getaway to Acadia, Maine this weekend. I think the reason why I loved it so much is because it reminded me of North Carolina; the drive from SC to NC is one of my favorites.  The funny thing was, none of us actually looked to see what the weather would be like, and it turned out to be rainy on the day we would spend there. It was a little crazy and cold and wet but what's an adventure without a few obstacles?! My family and I agreed that we will definitely be back to hike those gorgeous trails (since we weren't able to actually set foot on them due to the weather)!

Favorite places in the park: Sand Beach & Thunder Hole

Where we stayed: Acadia Sunrise Motel 

One thing I will say if you are playing a trip to Acadia is that almost every place you could get some shut eye at looked like a motel. You could stay in a place for $150 a night or a place for $70 a night and they would look the same. 

Recommendations to visit: Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse at sunset 

Recommended wear: Chances are people are just going to be looking at the views not what you are wearing. Dress for comfort and weather.

Another thing that's pretty cool to see/do is walk across the ocean floor to bar harbor at low tide. You heard me right, you can actually get to Bar Harbor on foot as long as you know when the low tide schedule is. Then you can drive past later and see just how high it gets.

Thanks for stopping by! xo

April Favorites

-Finding funny/cute sayings everywhere I go-

-Faux leather skirt-

-Grabbing another Cape Cod spirit jersey to twin with a friend-

-The perfect (and super cheap) bronzer-

-Finding my favorite cupcake flavor at Georgetown cupcakes-

-Hitting the repeat button repeatedly-

April was the month that I really understood and took the time to have experiences. Rather than focusing on a beauty or fashion favorite I focused more on my favorite moments. Such as, visiting a famous cupcake store with one of my closest friends from back home, or watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0 every night with my brothers and parents. I love a new lipstick, but I love having the memory of a person, place, time or all three put together more. 

Speaking of experiences, today I am headed back down to Cola for a week filled with best friends, baseball, and a crazy amount of food! I could not be more excited; these trips seem to show up just when I need them.

African

Top- South African market [poncho options here, here, here & here]

Denim- Forever 21

Heels- DSW 

Earrings- Old, similar

Can we just talk about how I look like I don't have an arm in a few of these pictures, yeah. I was very close to leaving Africa without this top, but I knew it was a once in a lifetime kind of thing so I grabbed it. I can't stand the orange (#gamecocknation), but it has elephants on it!! I didn't even know about it until someone told me, ha! 

This is completely random but I feel it is my duty to let you all know this information. Starbucks just came out with a... wait for it... s'more frappuccino. Y'all. Ahhhhhh! It's so good!! I tried a s'more latte from a local cafe this past winter and I actually had dreams about it, literal dreams. It was a limited time so they don't have it anymore, and the s'more frappe is limited edition too! Go, now. But wait for happy hour @ 3-5pm. (;

Denim- Forever 21

Shoes- DSW

Bag- Kate Spade

Earrings- Francesca's [similar here & here]

Those amazing after Christmas sales is when I snagged this top. It's probably my current favorites in my closet, and for some reason it has me thinking of a trip to Mexico. Maybe it's the color and all that's going on on the sleeves. You may also wonder why I have two different bags and that's because I couldn't decide which I liked haha. I hate how much I love it and how I couldn't find anything even remotely close to it! I linked a few items, but they just aren't the same. So sorry y'all! 

Yet another post with my natural hair... eek! Let's be honest here, i'm just too lazy to curl my hair these days.

Thanks so much for stopping by! xo

Thrifted...

Cardigan- Nordstrom Rack [similar here & here]

Shoes- 5 below [similar here & here; dying for these]

Earrings- Kate Spade

Bracelets- Gift, similar

A few of my friends found this dress while we were thrift shopping and convinced me to buy it. My favorite is the jewels on the shoulder. Also, I was planning on doing this outfit with just the dress and heels but surprised myself with this mashup. 

I have been craving Krispy Kreme glazed crullers like no other this past week! Like I have actually started to dream about them. I think it has come because my family and I always had the tradition when in SC of going to KK every Saturday morning when my dad was home, and now that's just not possible. 

Thanks for reading, y'all! xo
