we're heading south.

A few weeks ago, I solicited your help for a trip which seemed so far away...
but now it's almost here! {cv} and I leave tomorrow for:


We're heading to Charleston this weekend for what is sure to be a fantastic celebration:
my dear friend {lh} is getting married! We met post-college in DC and I'm so blessed we did.
We have relied a lot on each other over the years because she and her {almost husband} survived multiple years of long distance too! I'm so honored we're included on their guest list...
and I can't wait to see {lh} walking down that aisle on Saturday :)


This weekend is full of excitement: we'll be toasting to {cv}'s 27th on {lh}'s wedding day--and to our first wedding anniversary on April 10th. Get excited for plenty of wedding memories in the coming weeks!

Have any last minute suggestions for our Charleston adventure? I'd love to hear them!

This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning another fun weekend activity I have on the docket! I'm thrilled to be getting together with a few of my favorite bloggers in the city this Saturday. If you're a Charleston-area blogger, I'd love to meet you! Email me for details about a meet-up earlier in the day on April 9th! We have fantastic group of girls already assembled and we'd love to include you in the fun :)

I have a super fun anniversary-themed Friday's Fancies outfit for tomorrow! The Friday's Fancies post will be live at 12:00AM--so I hope you'll join in the link-up fun. I am still pinching myself to think 43 of you wonderful {and stylish!} ladies linked up last week :) If you have any Friday's Fancies questions {or questions about the meet-up this weekend}, please feel free to email me!


Enjoy your Thursday! Can't wait for tomorrow
{or this weekend for that matter!}
All of my love to {lh} and {bh} :) xoxo {av}

    I somehow missed that you're coming to Charleston... wish I had seen this sooner or I'd definitely be coming to the blogger meet-up!

    There are so many great things to do and see here (as I'm sure you already know), but some of my favorites are King Street, the farmer's market on Saturdays at Marion Square, the City Market, the Battery, Boone Hall Plantation (esp. the Avenue of the Oaks), the Angel Oak, and Folly Beach. Oh, and too many great restaurants to even begin to name them!

    You have to eat at Justine's Kitchen. It is so so yummy! There is also a seafood restaurant on the water (I forget the name of it), but that was really good, too. We also did the cliche tourist things, like a horse ride and ghost tour. Have fun!
