TSB: May Rack Up

This rack up should be called "what I wore during the worst allergies of my life." Anyone else affected by the pollen tsunami. Somehow I managed to look put together and get through the entire month with my nose still attached. A good thing because I don't have much to start with. This week however I'm feeling so under the weather - everything feels impossible. Bear with me and send me ALL of the good vibes.

Here's looking back at May:

The weather was pretty awesome (minus the trees attempting to suffocate me) so I took full advantage of baring my legs. Now that we're headed into a rainy week I'm glad to have shown off these hard earned gams - running 13.2 miles ain't easy. 

Which looks were your favs? Any you'd love to see restyled a different way?

Top 5 Things to Do in Charleston, SC

Hey all, it's SJ from FASHinNY (lover of fashion, travel and New York City)!

A girls weekend away is always a good idea and usually the perfect weekend away from it all! A few weeks ago I headed South to Charleston with 3 of my closest friends for a much needed weekend out of NYC. We explored the sights, sounds, and of course the food.

Here are a few of my favorites and advice on where to go, what to see, eat & of course shop:

1. Boone Hall Plantation
Founded in 1681, the Boone Hall is one of America's oldest working, living plantations spread out on 738 acres of land. 

Fun Facts: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got hitched here
The Notebook was filmed here....
It took two centuries for the massive, moss draped branches to meet overhead, forming today's natural corridor and a scene that NBC Daytime television says is "a must see stop on any trip to Charleston, S.C."
Highly Recommended: Visit the Boone Hall Farms Market: a main market that carries all produce grown on the farm.
Must Try: Cinnamon Honey Butter (My Honey Butter) 

2. Take a tour through town with Palmetto Carriage Tours
Located in the heart of the Historic District and is the oldest Carriage Tour company in Charleston. The city is divided into 3 zones and you get to tour one based on a lottery.

3. King Street Shopping
You can't visit Charleston without shopping a little! With everything from art galleries to upscale fashion, King street is the perfect place to wander through!

4. Charleston City Market
Stop by to pick up a historic Sweetgrass Basket, one of the oldest handcrafts of African origin in the US. These baskets are hand woven from indigenous bulrush, a grass that grows in the coastal region. With more than 50 artists the City Market, it's the epicenter of the sweetgrass baskets.

5. Between rooftop bars and Southern delicacies, Charleston is a great place to drink & dine!
Where to Dine:
Husk
Fig
Cru Cafe (Excellent Sandwiches, highly recommended)
Magnolia (Great for dinner!)

Where to Drink (Rooftop):
The Vendue
Henry's


Other Fun Things
Visit the Charleston Waterfront: stop at the Pineapple Fountain for a great photo op!
Visit The Fudgery: for a fun "Fudge Show" and a sample tasting!

Let me know if you plan on visiting and feel to free to add your own hotspots in the comments.

Catch up with me on Instagram and my blog to see where I go next.

Babydoll Season

It's officially summer, in an unofficial way - how many times have you heard advertisers use that term already? Haha, we can't help it but it's the perfect catchphrase for MDW.

It might as well be summer, the humidity is in overdrive and making this pollen tsunami way worse than it needs to be. Regardless, you have to make the most of it so I've been wearing all my sundresses, shifts and babydoll dresses on repeat. 

I also got a few favorites from Tobi.com for my upcoming music festival trips (anyone here going to GovBall or Firefly??). The price is on point and wont guilt you if end up dancing up a sweat-storm at any festival (i.e. me).

I also got this cute little number for Summer Fridays at the office. I dressed it up with a red lip and black shoes. No one does a meeting on a summer Friday so there's no real need to worry about covering my arms. But, if the occasion arises I can always toss on a black cardigan.

Also, if you plan on doing a meeting on a Summer Friday - don't. Make it for Thursday or even Monday instead, trust me when I say people's attention spans will be so much better when you avoid Summer Fridays.

P.s. If any of you are in NYC this week, in particular this Thursday please stop by the Anniversary Celebration for the Limelight Shops. I'll be hosting it along with Lynn Do from NeckbreakinStyle.com and a few other bloggers. RSVP here, stop by and say hi!
