August 2020 Recap
Here’s a little August recap! Sharing what I bought, what I watched, and a few favorites here and there.
HIGHLIGHTS
We are continuing to stay home in hopes to do our part to stop COVID19, but was also able to have some really nice family time this month! (We have only been exposed to each other during this time.) We celebrated my mom’s birthday with a nice pool day and lots of cake!
WHAT I BOUGHT
I have been sitting on a few of these items for so long and finally took the plunge! This embellished Tory Burch midi dress finally went on sale and after searching near and far for the perfect Lack of Color hat, I finally settled on this pink boater hat that I have a feeling I’ll be wearing all fall long.
WHAT I WATCHED
42: With Chadwick Boseman’s passing, we were introduced to this 2013 film about Jackie Robinson’s life. It was by far the best thing we watched in the entire month. Of course, Chadwick Boseman’s performance was incredible, but Jackie Robinson’s story itself is also so inspiring and deserves to be heard.
Work It: Y’all know I’d watch just about anything so I was very excited when I heard Netflix would be coming out with a new rom-com! I don’t know if I would give this one a full 5 stars, but it was definitely cute and easy to put on in the background while I was working.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO

EXPLORING CHARLESTON
Boho Rosa: My mom and I were treated to a quick little staycation at one of Charleston’s cutest Airbnb’s, Boho Rosa! I’ve shared a few things on my Instagram already but will be posting a full recap to the blog real soon! Stay tuned!
The Cake Stand Charleston: Since we were celebrating my mom’s birthday, we HAD to get some cake! My dad found The Cake Stand and let’s just say it’s our new go-to bakery! The cake itself was amazing, but the design was beautiful, as well!
Hotel Emeline: A group of local influencers and I were given a tour last month of the brand new and absolutely stunning Hotel Emeline! Located in the heart of downtown, Emeline is perfectly decorated and the best spot to get away to if you are visiting Charleston. Not to mention their in-house restaurant, Frannie and The Fox, is amazing and totally worth a visit!

The pink Lack of Colour hat is a classic and such a good purchase. Also your staycation looked so stinkin adorable!
Love that you’ve had some fun family time this month. I’m excited to have more family time in the months to come. The holidays are my favorite for that!
I have always wanted to visit Charleston. It’s on my list and I hope to make the trip soon.

So glad you were able to enjoy some family time this month! I need to watch the Jackie Robinson movie, I heard it’s amazing and that Boseman’s performance was stellar. Thanks for sharing these!
Chadwick’s passing hit me harder than I ever expected. His work truly changed my life over the past few years. I need to do a marathon of all his movies soon in honor of him. I actually loved Work It. Primarily because Jordan Fisher is a cutie – and he liked my tweet sooo that’s cool haha. I hope September is really nice for you!
aw thanks for including one of my posts girl friend! I am soooooo excited to see you style that new hat!
