so this is where we are (and where my blog is!)

This blog has moved to its new home at Holy City Chic! (But here's the post anyway...)

...piled high in boxes. And just a fraction of the total boxes, at that. How exactly do two people accumulate so much stuff?

If all goes according to plan, we close on our home this afternoon. Let the moving begin!  I may check in with a few updates, but if not, now you know why. Follow me along on instagram if you'd like!

Thought I'd catch you up on last weekend's festivities. I mentioned yesterday that we went to Greenville and Clemson to stay with friends and go to the Clemson football game. But I'm going to start this weekend post with Thursday because we didn't work on Friday. Got to love long weekends, but it does make Monday sting a little more.

So Thursday afternoon after work I trolled around a couple Charleston favorites... 

Encore Interiors is a consignment shop chock-full of furniture, odds, and ends.

I also spent a lot of time perusing GDC Home. I really wish I could go wild in there. Who remembers that TV game show where kids would run through a fake store and grab all the items they possibly could in a limited amount of time? Yeah. That's what I wish I could do in GDC.

Then I went to happy hour with some friends from work (It was a pretty great afternoon.). Edmund's Oast did not disappoint. If you're in Charleston, check it out. I'm dying to go back already.

B and I went to Greenville later that night. Spent Friday walking around downtown. I really love Greenville. We've always said that if we couldn't live on the coast of SC, we'd high tail it up to G-Vegas (That's Greenville, by the way.)

This is my best grumpy cat impression. 

Candy. On candy. On candy...at Mast General Store.

 and wine. On wine. On wine...at SIP Rooftop.

 

The folks who took this photo for us asked if we were on our honeymoon, ha!

And Saturday... went to see Clemson dominate! The weather was beyond perfect.

It was a great weekend. But on a personal note, two of our dearest friends are going through a tough time. If you pray, please keep their family in your prayers. Even though you probably don't know them, I know they'll feel your prayers. xo

We are officially in the dog days of summer. This weekend was, by far, the hottest of the year so far at over 100 degrees. So we tried to do as much as possible to stay cool, including boat days and swimming in the pool. Brandon and I headed out to a flat on the Broad River and I caught this red fish. One and done, son. After I caught that I decided it was too hot and we needed to get back on the boat. There was literally no wind—miserable! I let the fish swim, by the way.

Wore this shirt dress by ASOS. It's incredibly comfortable and the price is right. 

Brandon and I got lunch at Plums on Saturday. Their shrimp salad roll is heavenly. If you're in Beaufort, you should definitely check out Plums. It's my favorite for lunch, especially when the weather is pretty and you can sit out on the porch overlooking the Waterfront. (We immediately regretted sitting outside in the scorching heat, but it definitely was pretty.)

I went on an evening walk that night. It had just rained, which cooled it off a good bit. The sunset was gorgeous, so I had to put my Michael Franti playlist on pause to snap a pic. 

 Ah! And Sunday. So much more pleasant temperatures. Seriously beautiful outside. 

 I picked up this faux bamboo chippendale mirror that I purchased earlier last week from a refurbished home decor store. Can't wait to paint it white and find the perfect place for it...in our new home in Charleston! Just have to find it first. ;)
