Recent Outfits

Linen Shirt (sold out, but linking a similar one that I also own)// Espadrille Wedges

I'm still in 30a with my family, and we are soaking up every minute (and every ounce of vitamin D). It has been the perfect mix of fun, active, and relaxing. I'm so glad we still have another week here! By the time I get back, I'll have been away for 3 weeks, which I think is the longest I've been away from my own bed, maybe ever?! 

I love a good luxury hotel, but we rented a house here since we would be staying for a few weeks. I am so thankful for the rental, so we don't have to eat out every single meal. Don't get me wrong, I love eating out and trying allllll of the things. But it's so nice to have a full kitchen. We have been able to pick up fresh fish to cook and lots of supplies for healthier lunches, which have made things so easy and more home-like. I've even done a load of laundry! I really like the conveniences of this rental compared to a hotel, especially since we are staying for more than a week! We are already planning to come back next year! 

Anyway, I have been posting all my outfits to ShopMy and LTK, but I know many of you don't use those apps, and I also know the algorithm only shows content to a fraction of people following me! So today, I thought I would share a few recent outfits. I know many of you have spring break plans coming up soon, so maybe these outfits will give you some inspiration. 

It was so cold in Pittsburgh that I found myself struggling to pack for this trip because I couldn't even imagine warm weather!! I didn't even bring a swimsuit cover-up with me because I thought it would be too cold to lie at the beach or pool in a swimsuit. I brought two pairs of sandals, thinking I'd likely never wear them. Now, 30a is no Miami; it is cooler in this part of Florida during winter. Early last week, it was chilly enough that we had to wear light jackets and fleece, and that kind of thing. But later in the week, it warmed up, and I was kicking myself for not bringing my beach/pool gear! 

The first outfit at the top of this post is what I wore out to dinner one night to Havana, a restaurant located at The Pearl hotel in Rosemary! Dinner was lovely. I'll put together a full travel guide of everything we did and where we ate and drank once I return home! The Skirt is made of seersucker fabric, which is puckered and therefore has a texture. It's fully lined, and the embroidery is done with a rope-style cording so it looks 3D. The skirt is so much prettier in person than it is in a photo! If I'm traveling anywhere even remotely warm, I'm always packing these Espadrille Wedges. They are the most comfortable shoes and are neutral, so they pair with most things. The only downside is that they're a bit heavy in a suitcase, but I've just accepted the fact that there is a 50% chance my bag will be overweight any time I pack. Luckily, we drove, so I didn't have to be concerned about luggage weight! 

Similar Sweater// Linen Pants (Under $100) 

This sweater is from the brand Sh*t That I Knit, which sadly seems to have gone out of business. However, I found a very similar option that is 100% organic cotton and just $50. It's such a classic style and one I have worn for many years. Jenni Kayne also made a very similar sweater, but the $50 price tag on the one I am highlighting is definitely more palatable! 

I tried this Hat on in a cute little shop in Alys and fell in love with it. I wanted to purchase it, but it was a size large, which was too big on my head, and it was the last one that they had in stock. I found it online and ordered it in a medium. I am hoping it fits! I just love the shape of the brim. I have seen this hat brand around for the last few years and have always loved the silhouettes, but I've never been able to try any on since I haven't seen any in person! There is another hat shop here on 30A in Seaside called Headly that is adorable. They had so many hats, and I had been debating buying a specific one I had tried on, but I'm glad I waited because I love this hat more. Though if you are ever in 30A, the cool thing about Headly is that they can customize a hat you buy there with embroidery and all sorts of cool personalizations! 

Similar Swimsuit (by the same brand)// Linen Pants (Under $100) 

One of my makeshift coverups for an afternoon at the beach. There is a lot of good shopping around here, but I just didn't have time to go out and shop for a swimsuit cover-up since we randomly decided to go to the beach. The weather has been perfect! I was able to snag a pair of Sandals for the beach. They wouldn't have been my first choice, but after wearing them for the first time, I'm so pleased with them. You can hose them right down, and they are so comfortable. No regrets!

Here's a better look at the Linen Pants. They're a warm-weather staple for me. They are so comfortable and easy breezy to throw on, but they look elegant at the same time! They come in many colors. I am wearing a size small. They run generously (I'm usually a 4 or 27 in pants). 

This is another makeshift cover-up I created for an afternoon by the pool. I wear this Striped Shirt often over a swimsuit, but usually pair it with a pareo on the bottom. Though the shirt runs very oversized, and longer in the back, so it actually covers my bum, and I could wear it on its own. I have had this top for years, and it's been my warm-weather go-to. It's so lightweight and doesn't wrinkle. 

This brown colorway is sold out, but I've linked the current colorway. I've collected several of this style over the years, as it is so easy to throw on and feel polished. Although it's linen, it doesn't wrinkle much. It doesn't need much accessorizing, as I think it looks crisp all on its own. I'm wearing a small, and I find this brand to run generously! Peep Buddy in the background!

Weekend Wish List

Some items of note... 

- This Chintz Pillow made me do a double-take! I thought it was a new colorway of pine hollyhock! 

- I love the look of Resin Bangles with certain outfits, but wouldn't want to pay much for plastic bracelets, so these look to fit the bill! 

- Love this Swimsuit Wrap. The mix of colors is gorgeous. I've been seeing this brand all over 30a! It's so cute. 

- Of course, this Striped Cashmere Sweater caught my eye. Cashmere and blue and white stripes, what more could one want?! 

Some items of note... 

- Absolutely love this Reversible Jacket!! Anything reversible works so well when packing because you get two looks in one. 

-  A very random thing I've been looking for is a cute wastebasket for one of our bathrooms at home, and this Blue and White Wastebasket is calling my name! 

- I have a very similar clutch to this Raffia Clutch Bag, and it's one of my most carried bags because it holds a lot, but it is the perfect neutral evening bag. 

- Love to see all of the rugby sweaters and tees out right now. This Cashmere Rugby Sweater is so good. I love the mix of pinks. 

For your weekend reading, here are blog posts you may have missed from this week:

Lately






I hope you are all having a great week and that everyone who got all of that snow is staying safe and warm! We road tripped from Georgia to Florida this past weekend. It was a long drive but worth it! 

My husband is here this week which is so nice so we have been trying to pack a lot in this first week so he can explore as this is the first time he has ever been to 30a! So if you have noticed my delayed response to your DMs and such, that is why! 

We have just been bopping around all over! We have had some delicious meals in Rosemary, Seaside, and Grayton. We have biked around, lots of walks, some shopping, and enjoying some cocktails. I've been having fun getting a chance to wear some lighter clothing items and wear lots of color. It was cooler earlier this week, but as of Wednesday, it turned a corner and we have had such nice weather. 

Basically, I'm just amazed at the fact I don't have to put on boots and a parka to step outside. It was *so* humid the first night we got here. I'm not typically a fan of humidity, but oh my goodness, it felt SO GOOD. My skin was drinking it in! Being here has definitely made me realize how bad winter in Pittsburgh has been this year. I was not imagining it.




Flats (back in stock)

Wearing: Many of you were interested in these Necklaces when I shared them on Instagram! They are an easy pop of color and they come in many colors. I love the look of them stacked together. Above are some other outfits I've worn recently. 

You can find me on ShopMy, where I link all of my outfits, favorite finds, home decor, beauty, and more! I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also follow me on the LTK app. Plus, you are able to access all of my posts, here, on my website! 


Eating: I'll do a full 30a travel guide once I get home but we loved Scratch Kitchen for brunch! We also grabbed a loaf of asiago garlic bread at Black Bear Bread and made sandwiches with it and it was divine! There were whole cloves of garlic in the bread... yum! 

Drinking: I'm still not a white wine person except for Duckhorn chardonnay. I like it room temperature, not chilled! I just snagged a Frank Family to try and expand my horizons. 

I snagged this Gris Gris cocktail mix in Highlands and it's been a great addition to a margarita-style cocktail! The basil taste so fresh. 

Watching: I haven't watched anything in the last week or so, but I am so ready to watch season 2 of Paradise which just came out the other day. We loved the first season. 

Listening: Yacht House is a genre I am just now learning about and I am here for it! It's a mix of 70s yacht rock and more current house music and it has such an upbeat, feel good vibe.

Loving: I packed these Terry Slippers with me and I love them! They look like hotel slippers but they have a very supportive sole. They are lightweight and you can wash them. They have been perfect for this longer trip. I don't think they're warm enough for deep winter, but love them for spring, summer, and fall! 

Wanting: This striped dress
is classic and one of those easy 'throw on' dresses where you don't have to do much styling and can look put together in a second! Mackenzie Childs x Goody is launching at Target on March 1st! The pink Wet Brush is cute! This cardigan jacket is classic. I love the Kelly green color. March 17th rolls around and I am always reminded of how little of that color I have in my closet. I love it, though! Love these earrings, they are a nice color combo! These earrings are incredible. I have the necklace which looks like a piece of artwork and the earrings are just as unique. A perfect black dress- a sqaure neckline always catches my attention. This dress comes in both green and black and I can't decide which color I think is better? Both gorgeous! I love this 2-in-1 skirt that is reversible! Another reversible find, this jacket, is darling. I love reversible pieces because it makes packing easier! My sister just said she loves this sweater so much she bought another color. Love this tweed dress, it would be cute for Easter! I love the emebellishment on this navy swimsuit. I'm very into golden yellow right now, so this suede bag definitely caught my eye! I love a marble top, and this buffet is so pretty. I love this jacket- the shape, colors, and print work so well together. I always love to browse the Varley new arrivals. There is a scarf that matches the pants I wore in Tuesday's blog post! Love this knit collared sweater in pink. I have and love this sport dress in navy blue. I just came out in this adorable green gingham in what looks like a Master's green! Such a cute rain jacket! This pullover and shorts set looks cute and very comfortable. This pattern is fun! I love this cashmere wrap and it just came out in a gorgeous new color, aptly named, 'orchid'. I'm not typically into purple, but this is a gorgeous color. This bag is gorgeous, I especially love the size! I also like this tote because of the mix of textures. If you have a golden retriever, this sweater is for you!!!! Pink and green is always a good combo and this shift dress is cute! This pillow is giving pine hollyhock for a lot less $$!

Pittsburgh: 2026 Fish Fry Guide is here! We love St. Valentine's in Bethel Park, but I think we need to make the trip to Swissvale for theirs as I am always seeing it on top of the lists. We love OTB for their fish sandwich as well as Recon Brewery. The first thing I'm doing when I get home is fish fry Friday! 

Amazon Rec: I have this set in my cart right now. It's so cute. You never know with Amazon, but this looks promising. 

You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Quoting: 'If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy but still the same amount of snow.' // See more of my favorites, here.

Styling Golden Yellow for Spring






Hello from Florida! Sharing a very vibrant outfit with you all today. I have been so glad to ditch a coat and boots and feel like I can have fun with clothes again since I don't have to consider salt, snow, and frigid temperatures! Speaking of snow, I hope you all are staying warm and safe in the northeast. I cannot get over how much snow you all got!! 

It was very hot and humid when we arrived this weekend, but it has since become chilly, as of yesterday, and again today. Some of you were messaging me that it is cold, but to me, it just feels like a tropical oasis! It's supposed to warm up tomorrow, and I think I'm just going to sunbathe all day long! 

Anyway, I thought I would share an outfit I wore the other night... an old school outfit post, if you will. I took these photos on the deck of our rental just before sunset, before we headed out for dinner! We have eaten lots of delicious foods down here, though so far, Gallions has been the highlight for me, food-wise! I'll have a full 30A travel guide when I return. We are here for a few weeks!

I loved this Yellow Cashmere Cardigan as soon as I laid eyes on it! The color is so perfect. It's a golden yellow. I'd call it 'marigold'. It's so bright and cheery without being neon. And the knot buttons add a subtle, unique touch. 

I've had this Striped Shirt for 5 or 6 years now, and it's always a go-to for me. Aren't these Printed Pants fun?! The print is very Samantha Stevens, especially in the later seasons, when she leans more into 70s fashion. 

Everything I am wearing is true to size. I got a small in the cardigan and a 4 in the pants! I'm 5'6" for your reference. The Printed Pants are the perfect length for me to wear both flats and heels. 

Not having to wear socks felt foreign to me when I slipped on these Espadrille Wedges. The best change of pace after my feet have been in boots for the last 8 weeks. It's going to be so hard to put books back on when I return home! These wedges are a go-to for me, especially for transitional dressing, because they cover my toes! Although they are high, they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I've walked nearly 10k steps in them before and never had any issues. 

We won't get true spring weather in Pittsburgh until April, and even then, it can be iffy, but this is the exact type of outfit you'll find me wearing in April in Pittsburgh! It's warm enough, but it looks like spring, and the colors make me so happy!
