Charleston in October is funny. One minute I’m wearing a sleeveless dress, and the next I’m leaving a pop-up with a fall jacket. Between that, a few cozy looks, some beauty products on my counter, and a couple of little finds, my camera roll is full. So I’m putting it all in one place—with the shopping links, of course!
I went to an Alex Mill pop-up at The Cooper, which has quickly become one of my favorite spots lately. The views of the water are beautiful, and I just love the whole vibe. It was the perfect setting to spend an afternoon looking at pretty clothes and catching up with friends.
The brand itself has such a fun backstory! Alex Mill was founded by Alex Drexler, whose dad is Mickey Drexler, the former CEO of J.Crew. I even got to meet Alex himself at the event, which was very cool.
I wore this green striped dress, and yes, you’ll be seeing my new jacket on repeat! It’s the sort of easy, classic piece I can throw over a dress now and pair with jeans as the weather cools off. Exactly what I want for fall.
Also worth mentioning: Sophie James Wine! I love discovering a female-run business, and this one is family-owned, too. The wines are made from organically farmed grapes and have zero grams of sugar. More importantly, the one I tried was delicious! I also felt good the next morning—of course, that’s my personal experience, not a hangover-free guarantee.
A Few Looks I Wanted to Share
First up, this patterned maxi that does all the work for you. Just add simple heels and you’re ready. Wearing an XS.
And how cute is this quilted patchwork jacket? It makes even the most basic outfit feel a little more special.
Absolutely loving this Panthers rugby top, a true preppy vibe while cheering on my favorite team. Wearing a small. Lots of other NFL teams too.
The olive Alo look is another easy one—I’m very much here for comfortable pieces that still feel pulled together. Ribbed Cropped Top // Sweatpants
I know y’all remember the UGG slippers we’ve all owned. I still have them but felt like i wanted something different this season. And they’re the comfiest. So I’m an 8/8.5 and went with a 7.5 in these. I love the cozy trim with a striped top and these jeans. // Earrings
This monogram tote is such a fun one.
Black // Brown // Cropped Jeans // Ripped // Dark Denim // Olive Cropped
Chiffon Top // White Cardi // Pink Bag (only $11) // Burnt Sienna Cardi // Gingham Top // Sheep Cardi
Grey Crewneck // Velvet Jacket // Wheat Cashmere Sweater // Blue Stripe // Olive Stripe // Rollneck Sweater
Little Things I’ve Been Loving
Wheeler’s going to be Athena for Halloween. She’s always been a big fan, so I was gifted jewelry from this brand and I knew immediately I wanted to gift this to Wheeler. She hasn’t taken it off since I gave it to her. // Clasp Necklace // Mini-Charm
Absolutely in LOVE with this Leave-In Cream. I apply it after I shower and it makes my hair oh so soft. Honestly obsessed!
I tried this Dewy Recovery Mask the other night and slept in it. I can attest that it is truly worth it. Woke up to the most glowy skin. Highly recommend.
After having my tried and true BeachWaver for almost ten years, it finally died last month. This one I tried last week and it does just as well, and is half the price. Love it so much!
Hope y’all are having a great weekend! The weather has definitely turned here. It literally dropped ten degrees today from this morning until later in the day. Always curious if it’ll stay. Considering we already had our “False Fall” a few weeks ago, we shall see if it sticks around this time.
