Tuesday is the most favored weekday in my household. Not only is it acting class day for my smallest mini at Charleston Stage , but it's..you guessed it.. TACO TUESDAY. Seriously, it's a big deal in our house. We absolutely love to make & prep the tacos together and enjoy the fam time. Unfortunately, with busy schedules, we don't always get to make homemade tacos every Tuesday, especially when we are traveling! Those nights take us out to some pretty fabulous taco joints. Recently while in Savannah, Georgia, I had the pleasure of enjoying some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had! Tequila's Town has two locations: on Whitaker St Downtown and on Skidaway Rd, both in Savannah. I met with the owner, Melody, who was kind enough to give me some of the restaurants history and heritage. They pride themselves on creating genuine Mexican recipes.  One thing I really loved about this restaurant is that they partner with local farms to bring fresh an...

It's game day y'all and Reese Witherspoon's company, Draper James , has the perfect tailgate gear to cheer on your team! I am so crushing on this Go Y'all Clutch , complete with a detachable chain. The Go Y'all Tailgate Sweater comes in several team colors. The black and gold sweater as seen here, can be perfectly paired with a scarf in your teams colors!

Sometimes you just need a little girl time. A little wine, some nice cool air, and hey, a marina in which you are surrounded by sailboats isn't too bad either! That was just the case when I met with Liz & Kelly down at the Charleston Harbor Resort Marina one evening! The skies were a bit overcast, the evening air was cool, and the Rose was fabulous! We had lots of laughs and girl talk while enjoying the view! Well, go on, take a look for yourself!     What perfect outfits for the occasion! Ok so I am in love with those shoes from Southern Proper ! You can also find Kelly's skirt & bag on their website as well. I mean, so adorable! And who can not live without a location hat from Aviate !   Time for a little Rose courtesy of One Hope  ! And these adorable sunnies were the perfect accessory!  Gold Creations provided these beautiful rings. I can not tell you how much I love their jewelry! If you haven't checke...

When a date night with friends is in place, Lee Lee's is the perfect spot. Located in downtown Charleston, Lee Lee's Hot Kitchen is an amazing place for an authentic Chinese cuisine. I recently tagged along with The Charleston Weekender ,  Charleston Shop Curator  , their spouses & friends, for an amazing good time and even more amazing food for a date night at Lee Lee's !  The decor inside is so bright & fun. HUGE vintage Chinese posters adorned the bright red walls, while red bird cages hung above the bar. There were so many pops of color everywhere which added to the fun atmosphere. The crowd began the night at the bar stocked with specialty cocktails, beer, & wine! Afterwords, my favorite part.. the meal! Our service was more than excellent, and the food was some of the best authentic Chinese food I have ever eaten. While we enjoyed our meal, we were able to chat a bit with the chef himself, Jeff Cal...
