Happy Tuesday! I am rounding up my recent summer purchases here, so it’s easy to find everything in one spot. I’m trying to get better about sharing as much as possible on my blog! I always want Sassy Southern Blonde to be the center point between the social media platforms. And if there’s ever a link you need that you can’t find here, it’s 99% posted on my profile in the LTK app! There’s even a search bar now to make navigating my posts easier. I hope y’all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 🙂
XOXO

Even though our weekend getaway to Charleston started on the wrong foot, we ended up having a great time once we finally made it! Baker came home from school with the stomach virus the day before we were supposed to leave and the germs spread quick. I’ll spare the details, but it caused us to miss our flight Thursday morning! The lady at the ticket counter was kind enough to reschedule us for later that afternoon. We were not expecting any good luck after the night we had! Lol.
We hit the ground running on Friday with lunch at 82 Queen! They also have an amazing brunch, but it’s only offered on the weekends. Bo was in desperate need of new clothes, so we shopped along King Street afterwards! There are so many great men’s clothing stores. I had been wanting to visit Camellia’s inside Hotel Bennett, so we grabbed drinks before dinner! It is the most gorgeous bar with a dreamy pink aesthetic. We ended the night at The Darling Oyster Bar with delicious lobster rolls!
Saturday started with peach green teas at a local spot called The Rise Coffee Bar! We didn’t have it in us for coffee just yet. Haha! We ate brunch at Poogan’s Porch with the Fried Green Tomatoes and buttered biscuits! The appetizers were pretty filling, so Bo and I split the Diner Cheeseburger that was too good. We decided to take a Lyft to Folly Beach for the afternoon, and I just had to try dole whip at The Pineapple Hut!
Several recommended The Citrus Club for drinks, so we went to The Dewberry before dinner! There was an hour wait to get to the rooftop, but we decided to stick it out. They called our names right as we were leaving for our reservation, so we only stayed 10 minutes. I think it was a busy weekend but just a heads up if you’re wanting to visit! I personally think it was worth it!
Dinner was at Bourbon N’ Bubbles that Leva from Southern Charm owns. It was good, but I’m still SO sad we missed our Thursday reservation at Halls Chophouse! I wish I would have rescheduled for Saturday! It was my top recommendation from y’all. And being the Southern Charm fan that I am, I had to visit Sewing Down South! Unfortunately, I think I had just missed Craig and Paige. Lol! I’m leaving more recommendations for y’all to refer to below!
Since it’s my first Mother’s Day this year, I was extra excited to create a gift guide with my own input! I guess I thought becoming a mom would drastically change my taste, but obviously it did not. Lol! I always strive to recommend items I truly love, and I already own 6 out of the 10 above. And I wouldn’t mind snagging the other 4! *Hint hint Bo* 😉 I made sure to include items at all price points, so there’s something for everyone between the graphic and additional finds linked!
