Greetings from Charleston.

I can't believe my trip to Charleston is almost over! I feel like I've been on a Chucktown food tour for days. There are so many great restaurants, it is impossible to try them all in the few days we were staying downtown. If you are ever in the area, I would definitely recommend S.N.O.B for some lowcountry fare and Halls Chophouse if you're in the mood for a steakhouse and live music southern style. We'll be finishing off our trip at Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, which is slightly outside of Charleston and on the beach. After lots of sightseeing, I'm excited for a few days in the sun!

I spent this past weekend home for some necessary R&R as well as my friend Jen's bridal shower. This was my first shower so I wasn't quite sure what to wear but decided on a skirt and sweater combo, which was perfect for the warm but still crisp weather! 

Bodysuit Babe.

Gearing up for my trip to Charleston that is at the beginning of May and I pulled some vacay outfits together that all would work fantastically with this Alice & Olivia bodysuit that is currently on sale. 

The first outfit to the left works great for sightseeing and walking along King Street. Comfortable shoes are always a must and while I love these Chanel espadrilles, Tory Burch has a similar pair that are less expensive and I love just as much (see link in the caption!)

The nautical maxi and bright Ray-Bans over on the right are perfect for a beach stroll. The bodysuit could totally double as a swimsuit.- Strictly for bathing purposes!

For a night out in Lowcountry, I'm sure I'll still want to dress it up a bit with some heels, but a pair of none denim shorts can keep it casual and still appropriate for night. I'm really into these sandal booties right now (you can find a similar pair here)!

P.S. The back of the bodysuit is fully open! ;)
