I’ve been spending the last few weeks scouring the internets in search of a few pieces for a much anticipated Nantucket wedding at the end of the summer. All the research has wedding guest dresses on my brain, and I thought ya’ll might be in need of some inspo, too.

Anthropologie is having a SALE on SALE- an extra 40% off sale prices, to be exact- and it ends tonight {July 5}. So I did the leg work for y’all and shopped it for you, rounding up my very favorites for mom, mini and home. I even snagged a few things for myself, but don’t shhh… don’t tell Phil. Happy Shopping! xx

Who’s ready for a summer picnic and parade? I know we are!

I signed up for a YearCheer holiday subscription for the girlies last year, and it quickly became one of our very favorite parts of the holidays.

I am so excited to finally share our Mother’s Day Giveaway- a curated prize made up of goodies from all my favorite local shops.

Happy Friday!

I am by no means a DIY’er, but I’ve been admiring the Liberty of London inspired handles on so many bags for spring that I thought I might try a little crafting this morning. I found this fabric on Etsy for under $10 per 1/4 yard and used only half of it to wrap the handles of one of my very favorite straw bags. The finished project came out SO cute, and gave it the perfect hint of floral for under $5.

By popular demand, here are the contents of my recent spring Zara haul. We all know I need another maxi dress like I need a hole in the head, but these were just too dang good to pass up. Plus, I’m gearing up for the impending South Carolina summer heat, so I’m justifying these purchases as survival gear.

I shared my picks for the J.Crew picks in IG stories a few nights ago, but there are so many gems that I thought it deserved a permanent spot on the blog. This two part post has my picks for ladies and little ladies. The savings are great- up to 40% off- with code GOSPRING. Happy Shopping!

Friday! We made it. It’s been a busy one over here at the Matkovic house with so many fun things coming up that I can’t wait to share. Aside from work, we are finishing up the room refresh of my office with Taylor from Home Taylored- just waiting on a few items to arrive and for the walls to be painted. I can’t wait to show you the color and finish we chose.

Just a few weeks ago we celebrated six months in our new home. On March 14, to be exact. I cannot believe we have lived here for half a year. It’s still so crazy at times to think we moved our little family of four, plus two fur babies, down south in the middle of a pandemic. But did it we did, and are so happy to be in our cozy home and to finally enjoy a bit of a routine. It was a tad hectic there for a bit- with so many changes and so little routine- but over the last few months we’ve found our groove again, and we’ve made a few simple changes that has helped make life just a little bit easier these days.

Happy Monday, friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful weekend. Ours was filled with friends and family and lots of great food, and a little bit of tennis. Maddie found her racket, and I’ve been trying to get back into playing before summer arrives, so we decided to take an afternoon to hit a few balls as a family.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you probably know by now that I have become quite the fan of frozé since moving down south. I stumbled upon the Co-op on Isle of Palm late last year, and instantly fell for their their daily frozé selections and delicious salads and sandwiches. Every time I post about my frozé fix I get dozens of messages asking where one can find such a treasure. And while I always direct my southern friends to my local spot, I sadly, don’t have any recommendations for my friends up north.

Spring has officially sprung here in Charleston and it’s making my maxi-loving heart so stinking happy. I had heard rumors about how magical springtime is down here; and while the weather has been unseasonably finicky, it still has exceeded my expectations.

The second installment of my Charleston Black Book series is coming atcha from my newly upgraded office.

Happy Friday, folks! It’s been a long time since I’ve put together a Friday favorites post- well over a year- but it’s one of the weekly posts that I used to look forward to the most, and one that I’m super excited to get back to publishing regularly.
