Summer is in full swing and naturally the rosé is flowing. Let's be real, you can always count on me to bring some wine. Cue: Porch Pounder. Yes, it's wine in a can and I absolutely love it. Think it's weird, think again. This stuff is amazing.

{ Pink houses? Charleston, you've officially stolen my heart. }
Whoa. You guys, I'm back. It's been awhile, I know...and you know what? I don't have any kind of excuse to feed you. Life has been crazy. In all the best ways, of course. Where do I even begin?

{ You know I'm always down for a good Chuck picture. }
It was one of those weeks where every single day managed to feel like a Friday, even though it was only a Tuesday. Needless to say, it really felt like 2 weeks meshed into one.

Lovely in Lavender
Let's get something straight: I have never been to a music festival. If you just cringed a teeny bit, don't worry I did too. For now it's on my bucket list.
