Charleston Rice Beads

Back around Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of getting to spend a day with some of my favorite ladies shooting for the Dandy Boutique Winter Look Book. Sarah, from 428 Main, with the help of Alden Haviland of Rutledge Social, put together this adorable campfire set. While we didn’t actually do any “glamping,” we did stuff our face with plenty of s’mores! Kate Capo, of Catherine Ann Photography, did her usual beautiful job capturing our afternoon. I thought this rainy weekend was the perfect day to share a cozy blogger campfire with y’all!

We all had a blast putting looks together for our glamorous “camping” adventure!! I went with something that I probably wouldn’t typically wear all together, but it made the perfect glamping attire! Take away the hat and gloves and you’ve got a great outfit for daytime in the city or even a casual night out. With the hat and gloves, it’s a super funky warm outdoor look!

The hat and gloves are also super versatile on their own and make a great addition to your winter accessories. The fingerless glove trend has been huge and definitely comes in handy when your texting tip gloves start to fail you (which inevitably will happen). Plus, how can you resist that beading?! I love a little fancying up of gloves!! {or anything}

This is still one of my favorite shoots I’ve ever gotten to be a part of!! I just love all of the sweet ladies involved and we had such a blast that day!! I also loved getting to play and have fun with my style for the look book. The urban/boho chic look was just too much fun to wear!! You can still shop these looks and more on the Dandy Boutique website!

There’s no denying that I’m really into pattern mixing at this point. Yesterday it was plaid and leopard, today it’s stripes and spots? Not totally clear on the exact label of the print on this top, but I’m really into it! What the pictures don’t show is that it also has a hint of gold glitter! Gold, glitter, pattern mixing- I’m sold!! I love this look because it’s so fashion forward, but also so comfortable. These literally feel like pajamas!! This is the perfect “run errands while looking chic attire” AKA every Tuesday. It could easily be dressed up with a pair of strappy heels, but I like to keep it casual with classic quilted flats. To pull out the gold in the top and embellishment on the shoes, I wore it with a strand of my favorite Charleston Rice Beads. These can instantly jazz up any outfit and give your look that perfect finish. To contrast the red, black and white I added this bright blue bag. A little pop of color can really add some fun to your look and give you a put together look that you wouldn’t even expect!
