My Recent Stay At The Pointe
Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a travel review of my recent stay at The Pointe located on 30A. In case you aren’t familiar with 30A, it’s a beautiful highway of beaches that stretches from San Destin all the way to Panama City, FL. This highway is sacred because it is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches you will ever see in Florida! I’m talking crystal clear, blue water, soft white sand, dreamy boardwalks and private communities. All of the neighborhoods have their own little towns with boutiques, resorts, restaurants and activities for the whole family like bike riding, boating, sailing and jet skis just to name a few.

I’ve stayed in San Destin a number of times, but this was my first time ever staying in Inlet Beach, which is within walking distance to both Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach…oh and Donut Hole! Haha! In fact, we actually stayed right across the street from Donut Hole in the luxury condos at The Pointe Resort. Our resort was amazing because it’s brand new and the condos are gi-normous! We stayed in the a three-bedroom condo complete with a full kitchen, living room, dining room and two fabulous balconies that overlooked the pool. Oh and I can’t forget mention that luxurious bathrooms and walk-in closets. My bathtub was huge and I could even see the TV from it! Talk about relaxing!

As I mentioned, The Pointe is fairly new to Inlet beach so they are still slowly rolling some of their new amenities like their full-service restaurant that will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think that guests will really enjoy the on site restaurant especially if they don’t plan on cooking because the local dining spots fill up fast. However, if you’re traveling with a large group, the kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals as well as a barbecue grill on the back deck of the pool. The resort also features a rooftop lounge and bar that overlooks the 30A skyline and soon enough they will be soon be a poolside drink service as well.
Last but not least, The Pointe will have a full coffee service bar available all hours of the day!

White Jeans + A Camo Hat
Hi everyone, let me just start off by saying that white jeans and a camo hat is one combo that I never even imagined myself wearing, but I think that’s exactly why I love it. Sometimes it’s fun to experiment with different pieces in your closet and dress up in outfits that you wouldn’t normally put together. Mixing things up in your wardrobe allows you to better explore your style plus it might bring out a side of you that you never even knew existed.
Also, while we’re on the topic of taking wardrobe risks, I always hear people say the phrase, “I would love to wear that, but I could never pull it off!” I always respond with, “Says who?” For real though, who is telling you that? I bet that you’re only one telling yourself that and my advice to you is…get over yourself! Who cares! Wear what you want to wear and own it and that’s exactly how you pull something off!
At first, I was so nervous to pair these white jeans with sneakers and a camo hat that I would normally wear to the gym. I thought that maybe it was too edgy for me, but then I realized that I was the only one telling myself that I wasn’t cool enough to pull it off! So I put the look together, made it my own and guess what? I loved how I felt it in! All I had to do was put it on with confidence and that’s all you have to do too!
What is an outfit that you’ve been wanting to try, but haven’t had the guts to give it go? I dare to you to do it and let me know how it turns out! Just remember that no one ever made fashion history by following the rules!

Charleston Trip Review
Hi everyone, today I’m sharing my Charleston trip review from my recent girl’s getaway! Scroll through this post for my top recommendations on dining, hotels, sight seeing and where to “wine” down!
Where We Stayed:
We stayed at the most adorable boutique hotel in Charleston, the Zero George Hotel. We lodged in the main house on the third floor so every morning we would just walk right downstairs for complimentary breakfast and coffee. Speaking of coffee, Zero George offers free coffee, lattes, espresso and cappuccinos 24 hours a day! If that isn’t amazing enough, they also offer daily bike rentals and host a complimentary wine and cheese hour for their guests every afternoon. The servers personally deliver wine and cheeseboards to your room or balcony for you to enjoy.
As for the Zero George restaurant, we didn’t get to experience their dining menu, but we only heard wonderful things about it from both locals and tourists. Also, they close their restaurant every Monday night to host a cooking class that you can book here—> Charleston Cooking classes
In case you missed my Instagram posts, this past Charleston trip was one for the girls, but I would love to come back here for a romantic weekend with Blake! It is among the most darling towns I’ve ever visited!

Poogan’s Porch | Be sure to order the pimento cheese fritters as an appetizer and a side of the mac & cheese! It’s heavenly! Almost as heavenly as their fried chicken sandwich!

Paw Paw Restaurant | Their CAST IRON POTATO GNOCCHI is delightful especially with a side of truffle fries!
Raw 167 | Do yourself a favor and order the Crispy oysters!
Darling Oyster Bar | We were so bummed that we didn’t get to eat because the menu looked amazing, but I’ve already added to must-do list for the next time that I visit! Everyone raves about this place!
Snob | We didn’t get to actually eat here, but we heard this place was fabulous!
Sugar Bake Shop | one stop shop for coffee & freshly-baked cupcakes!
The Watch Rooftop Kitchen at The Restoration Hotel | This restaurant definitely sits right around the top of my food list because their BLT, shrimp rolls and house-made chips were absolutely delicious!
