Now, back to Wedding Wednesday…Shawn and I have been talking about our honeymoon.  We have thrown quite a few ideas out there but are really unsure as to where to really go.  We had a great time in Jamaica, BUT we love to be on a boat-not a cruise.  We booked another Sandals trip to Grenada and we can go there in the next two years, I am just not sure we want to do a Sandals for our honeymoon.  Where all have you all went on your honeymoon???

The TOP 5 places I would like to go for our honeymoon:
1.  Azulik Hotel Tulum & Maya Spa
2.  The Cove Eleuthra
3.  Santorini, Greece-Recommendations??
4. Costa Rica-Recommendations??
5. Jade Mountain, St. Lucia-Thoughts?! Ti Kaye??

Shawn’s Choices:
1. Bulgari Resort, Bali
2. Bora Bora
3. Maldives-Rosewood or Conrad??
4. Oia, Greece
5. Italy

Orrrrr, do we just go on a cool South African Safari to like to the Lion Sands Game Reserve then travel to Cape Town and then to Johannesburg?!

Also, has anyone ever done a Windstar Cruise? After looking into them, they are probably about the only cruise we would consider doing just because they are much smaller and would be the easiest way for us to visit Athens, Barcelona, Monaco Rome, etc.  I know I am supposed to be the one filling you all in on all of this information but when it comes to your honeymoon you have to ask questions, right?!  And I feel like google is full of paid ads so you never truly know what to trust.  I wish we were going this year but I am hoping we can at least go to the Keys this April to celebrate our anniversary and an engagement-moon?! That only sounds fair, right? Ha ha! Who am I kidding, we are planning a wedding and renovating a house!  Hope everyone has a great day! Can you all believe it is MARCH 1st?!

A Spring Time Dress


Dress, Boots (Similar here), Handbag, Earrings

THIS. dress. is. everything!  I have to say shopping at Gallery Boutique with Hannah ALWAYS gets me out of my comfort zone. I love going in there and just letting Hannah pick out outfits for me.  This was one of the first dresses I tried on and instantly fell in love.  I am self-conscious about my hips-and Hannah knows that, so this dress complimented all my curves, plus I LOVE the colors.  It is such a good transition piece into spring with cute little wedges and I can wear on the cooler days in the summer with flip flops.

PS.  I have noticed most places are sold OUT but I found it HERE in stock!!

The Perfect Jean Dress



Leopard Heels (Similar here and here. Love these and these too),
Denim Dress (LOVE this one), Hat, Purse, Lipstick

Y’all KNOW I love leopard, and when I got these heels in, it was LOVE at first site! Although, they are a little higher than I normally like.  I can’t wait to also wear them with some black skinnies like these and an oversized sweater like this or this one.  In the summer, I have ordered this dress to wear with them.

Today is our grand opening of Beach Therapy! Pray everything goes wonderful today AND our breakers don’t flip today, especially while someone is in the spray tan booth, hehe!

Floral Romper



Romper, Cardigan, Shoes, Sunglasses, Necklace, Purse, Lipstick

Happy Monday, Y’all! This warm weather in FEBRUARY has me wanting to dig out ALL of my SPRING clothes!!! I don’t normally wear a lot of purple but when I saw this adorable floral romper with the matching cardigan, I fell in love!  I am thinking in the summer, when I have a nice tan, this romper will be perfect too, then on cooler nights I can just throw on the cardigan!

Things have been pretty busy here this weekend! We had to get the finishing touches for the tanning salon, Beach Therapy, because….we are opening TOMORROW! AHHH, I am SO excited.  It has been a lot harder opening the tanning salon as there is so much more “electronic wise” that goes into just getting ONE bed working.  I think my brother has about lost his mind over all of the wires a time or two, haha.  You can visit our salon website here and if you are in the area tomorrow, stop by and see us! We have four tanning beds and one mystic spray tanning booth, that I personally LOVE! We have fun accelerators and boosters you can add to your mystic to make your own “Myx!”

I hope everyone has a great Monday! I am pretty excited, already, for the weekend to get here as we are finally getting our eight foot door installed at the lake house and the three huge window units in our master bedroom.  I will be sure to post pictures of our progress sometime next week! You KNOW I will need y’alls help making decor decisions!

Spring Floral Outfit


Top (also available in a dress I love), Vest, Jeans, Boots, Earrings, Necklace, Purse

I was lucky enough to get to spend more than two days with Shawn this passed weekend which made it nice because we could actually go out to eat lunch, ride around, go to the grocery store, etc. — ya know, normal couple things, hehe.  We love lunch buffets (like southern restaurant buffets), Prossers in Murrells Inlet is my favorite but Shawn wanted to ride to Conway to eat at Coppers so that’s where we went, their sweet tea is amazing, by the way.  Anyways, I had only brought warm clothes as I had just left the snow, but I was glad I had this floral print top to wear for our lunch date.  It can be dressed up or dressed down and will be perfect for spring when I really will only need a light top. Oh, and by the way, if you are petite, the jeans I am wearing are the PERFECT ankle length!!!! I HIGHLY recommend.  I ONLY buy jeans for the store that fit petite women, sorry girls, but it is SO hard for us to find skinny jeans.  I found a company I love so that is all we sell.  Below, I have listed some similar items + some make up items I have recently bought and like!  Happy Friday!
