How to Sightsee in Style | Savannah, Georgia

What happens when you forget your SLR at home? You obviously don't freak out and revert to your analog roots of disposable cameras... Oh, and your iPhone because it's actually better than some digital cameras out there.

Hat: Aritzia (but love this)  Dress: Express  Denim Jacket: Asos (this is AMAZE too)  Hobo Bag: DellaLA  Espadrilles: c/o The Sak  SPF: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Sunscreen

Went to Georgia with friends to escape the fast-pace city-living life and it was honestly the best decision we made. We booked our airline tickets, airbnb, and just went with the flow when we got there. Since we were captivated by the architecture and bound to wander for hours in the hazy and humid weather I made sure to dress right. 

Light and breezy fabrics like this cute white frock was a no-brainer, every time I felt a bit a breeze (all up in there) I thanked my marbles for buying it. Also made sure my feet were absolutely comfortable and had the space to swell if need be, which is why these espadrilles from The Sak fit the bill. Let's not forget to mention that these espadrilles also carried me through Coachella, and that was a LOT of walking + dancing. Also key, a hobo bag that can carry it all is essential for cameras, phones, and all the cute knick-knacks you might purchase. In my case, it carried a ton of salt-water taffy, whoops.
