Well hello there friends!
It's been quite awhile since my last post sharing the exciting details on my business Pinckney Palm. That was three months ago and my oh my how time has flown by since then!
I thought it only appropriate that I share a BIG update from our summer with you today as an intro back onto the blog. After all, a main reason why I blog is to document life! It's almost like my journal of sorts. Especially with a little one that changes by the minute - so hang on for A LOT of Sully photos! Or really... just photos overall! :)
I bought our above matching Lilly in the last sale (PS: Stay tuned I think the next one's about to happen), but here is a Mama and Mini Lilly match I'm loving right now!
Summer really got started when we crossed another bucket list item off when we attended Jimmy Buffett ON Ryan's birthday of all days!
Off to Clemson we went to celebrate Aunt Maddie's graduation not too far after and it was such a fun day of celebrating! We're so so proud of our sisk! GO TIGERS
Balloon from Cannonborrough Collective
Graduation celebrations didn't stop there when we went to Greenville to celebrate Uncle Nick's graduation from Riverside High. How adorbs is this picture y'all?! He just moved into Clemson last week as a college kid, talk about time flying!
Sully's bow and dress from Smocked Auctions; Gold Natives (finally back in stock!!!)
Travel was the name of the game because next we were up to Richmond to celebrate one of our favorite couple's weddings - Allie and Bryce. Our whole family was in the wedding and it was honest to goodness one of the most gorgeous weddings I've ever been to and that's saying a lot considering our wedding track record lately ;). More on this later!
Lilly Romper sold out (similar here); H&M Wedges sold out (these are almost identical); Sunnies; Cult Gaia Bag sold out (so in love with the pink version)
We've also loved all of our summer visitors! Aunt Maddie and Uncle John Walter came to visit for some good sibling time, Grandad came down, Nonna and Aunt Ally watched Sully when we traveled, Aunt Mikael and Uncle Tyler swung by and some of our besties, Sarah and James, came down from Richmond. I love living somewhere that people want to visit!
PS: This is my absolute favorite t-shirt, I have it in 3 colors and it's under $25.
How cute is James pulling Sully around Charleston?! She fell asleep in this wagon and loves it for sightseeing and beach riding. It's the best wagon in our opinion!
My JCrew Factory sunnies are sold out, but these are super close and $60.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Gray Malin whose art I've loved for years and now am so excited to wear on my Sperry shoes he launched here in Charleston!
Ryan's Shoes; My Shoes (note: they're in Men's sizes, so I think mine are a 5.5 and I usually wear a 6.5 or 7)
Another perk of being in Charleston is that our family's beach cottage isn't too far up the road in Garden City, SC. Which meant we could pop up and see Nana and Papa and our Aleshire family when they visited. Sully loves playing with her cousin Lizzie, they're only five months apart!
And how cool is the old picture I took of a picture that's in the cottage?! On the back is my great-great-grandma Sue (who I met when I was a baby!), my great-grandma Virgina (who I lived with partially for a summer) great-grandpa Nick are inside. Then on the front are my great-aunts all in front of the cottage. I love it!
This summer I also had the pleasure of speaking on a panel for Charleston's Social Media Day. It was nerve-wracking at first, but ultimately so much fun!
One weekend that was a highlight this summer was our trip to Hilton Head to visit a few of our friends that live there. Katie and Ryan were amazing hosts and a day on Daufuskiekie island was a highlight for us all!
Katie's Lilly Romper; My Lilly Dress is sold out, but this is the same style in a different print; My Sunnies; Sully's Lilly dress is sold out, but here's a girls style that's not a shift
Unfortunately not so soon after we headed up to Charlotte to see and then celebrate our Grandma Leigh's life. Sully loved singing Old MacDonald's Farm with Grandma Leigh before she passed. And now we have a "Gigi rock" that she carries around and loves to play with in memory of Grandma. So sweet.
Sully's Dress is from Smocked Blessings
When we got back to Charleston it was full steam ahead with the Pinckney Palm launch party where I officially celebrated with my community, clients, friends and family that have made my little dream thrive. See all the photos from Aneris Photography on my business blog here.
My Buddylove Dress sold out (love this pink and green palm option)
Soon after, we were back to travel with a trip to Portland to celebrate two of the most wonderful people we know, Sam and Jake! I have a whole separate post coming on this, but couldn't help but share this as part of our summer recap, because it wouldn't be complete without it :).
My Lilly Dress sold out (same style, different print); Our Sunnies; Jacks; Sam's Dress (almost identical)
Our Adidas Gazelle Shoes and leggings were part of our bridesmaid gift!
Beaufort Bonnet Swimsuit sold out (same style, different print); Pink Glitter Natives
Sully loves saying, "Cheeeerrrsss" at the table, it's so cute!
Date night at our favorite restaurant in Charleston!
We always go to see the ducks behind our church after Mass is over!
My sweet ol Cotton boy, he's now 8 y'all!
We usually make it the 5 minute drive over to Sullivan's Island at least once a week! It's our happy place!
How cute is my new beach cruiser?! I think I'll do a whole post on this soon.
Mount Pleasant Farmers Market has the best finds!
See this post where I opened up about this photo and what was really going on in my head.
My Mylk Bar mani for an Instagram conference I was going to attend!
The Mylk Bar opening party! My Anthro top is old, but really love this one. Same for Sully's dress, but similar here.
Delish poké bowl from Beech!
Our fav post-church stop downtown, Queen Street Grocery.
Rosé on the marsh at Ellis Creek Fish Camp.
Sully's Dress from Smocked Auctions.
Post-Pinckney Palm party I decorated with our centerpieces and our house felt instantly more summery! See our chairs here (ours are the mineral color), tobacco leaf plates here (they're tin and so much cheaper than the original ones), white plates, gold chargers and gold silverware (on sale).
I love when Sully comes and works with me, she's already such a #bossbaby ;).
Don't miss this awesome brand Oliphant at Skinny Dip Charleston!
One of my favorite photos - "Mo Shopping Mama" haha! We love Second Sundays on King Street!
Phew ok, now that ALLLLLL that is covered plus some :) stay tuned for more regular blogging including Five on Friday, which funny enough I just had two people request I bring back in the mix!
