A big thank you to @Showmeyourmumu for hosting the candle making workshop at @candlefish this afternoon. It was so much fun and l loved rocking my gorgeous new sweater. This dress is my freaking favorite right now! It’s very flattering (even after eating Leon’s fried chicken ) and the sparkles ✨ are perfection. http://liketk.it/2yBmM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

✨ This is my first ever blogger roundup. Home decor and interior design has always been one of my passions, and it’s one that y’all love, too! We recently bought a historic home in Greensboro, NC – built in 1914! – and begin renovations on it this weekend. In honor of the new project, this space is probably going to be mainly focused on the renovation and other home decor inspiration. Since I’m always sharing my favorite finds and tips on Instagram already, I thought I would start sharing this weekly home decor round up on my blog! What do y’all think? Is this something you enjoy? Is it helpful? If I do other roundups what would you like to see? I’ll link everything in LIKEtoKNOW.it and then I’ll do swipe ups in my IG stories too! I also wrote a blog post and included tidbits about each item. That link is in my bio. Please share your feedback. I feel like an official blogger now. 😂

Lord have mercy, it’s hot in Charleston. It must be 90 in the shade. Y’all, I broke out in a complete sweat walking from my car to the Target entrance this afternoon. But on a happy note, I found these amazing sunglasses and I was able to get them with my prescription for less than $200! Not sponsored, I just love a deal! For non-prescription they are only $95. Growing up I had perfect vision. Then I got to college and had issues with the overhead projectors in class. Now I straight up need glasses when I drive at night and when I watch television. Anyone else have Astigmatism? http://liketk.it/2Rmye #liketkit @liketoknow.it

🦪 Y’all! Those plates on the wall are vintage oyster plates and they are my new obsession. My goal is to collect 8 of them over the next year. I love the mixtures of color, pattern, & shape! Such a fun coastal touch in any home. I found several and linked them for you. I’m putting them in my IG stories too! They are all rare and unique! What kind of fun vintage things do you collect? Do you like adding vintage pieces to your home decor? http://liketk.it/2R70W #liketkit @liketoknow.it

🌴Folly stole my seat! How gorgeous is this chair & umbrella from @serenaandlily?! They are both on sale this weekend! Need the perfect setup for the beach? This is it! Spending the day at the beach with my entire family was such a blessing. I am beyond grateful that things are slowly going back to “normal.” How did y’all celebrate Memorial Day weekend? Did anyone else make it to the beach? http://liketk.it/2Pxt7 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Black Friday shopping is one of my favorite traditions. My mom hates to shop so my dad always took me and my sister Black Friday shopping. The boys and I are heading out to grab a few things. Did y’all find any good deals? My favorite online boutique @shopreddress has 30% off their whole website. This dress was only $41. DM me for the link. http://liketk.it/2yqmZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it

It’s finally feeling like fall y’all! Anyone else excited for sweater weather? I’m so pumped! This sweater from @shopreddress is so soft and comfy, I absolutely love it. And I found these @hushpuppiesshoes booties on a HUGE sale. They were $45!! Check out my blog post (link in my bio) for all the direct links to shop this look. I could really use y’alls input. What price point do you all prefer for my outfits? Do you prefer affordable looks or do you all splurge on clothes? http://liketk.it/2y5o7 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Y’ALL, I finally have a website!! Go check it out and let me know what you think. It was SO much work but I’m really happy how it turned out. I’ve got a few more exciting news this week so be sure to keep an eye out. In the meantime, I’m running around downtown trying to get my life together. Is that even possible?! Anyone else feel like they are always drowning in work? On a happy note, my outfit (including shoes) is only $100. http://liketk.it/2y2Mz #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Does a Taco 🌮 clutch count as a Halloween costume? This mama did not have time to put together a fun costume this year. So I’m going rock my taco purse and enjoy seeing everyone else all dressed up. Little man is going as an astronaut. He wanted to be Nirvana but I couldn’t figure out a good wig for Kurt Cobain. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe next year! What are you and your kiddos dressing up as?! http://liketk.it/2y0PX #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Real life: we took this adorable photo and then Harper decided he had to pee. We were on Tradd Street (one of the most expensive and exclusive streets in Charleston) and there are zero bathrooms nearby. He told me he was going to pee his pants if he tried to hold it any longer. Isn’t it amazing how kids don’t mention having to go but then once they do it’s a dire emergency? So I did what any other mother would do, I looked for a vacant home. Found one with construction signs so I shuffled him to a bush on the side of the house. My photographer Kailee took guard on the street. I stood behind him and blocked his bum by staring in front of his body. He stood there for 5 minutes and decided he didn’t have to pee anymore! 🤦🏼‍♀️ #momlife #atleastheiscute http://liketk.it/2xArI #liketkit @liketoknow.it

One of the biggest misconceptions my followers have of me is that I have my shit together. Y’all, my feed is pretty but Lord my house is messy. My car is a complete wreck. There are enough snacks between my seats to feed an army. Last week Harper was late for school twice. We ate at Chick-fil-a three times. I wore unmatched pajamas grocery shopping. And I went an entire day not realizing I had mascara on one eye. Oh and I lost my purse. No idea how but I left my whole damn purse somewhere. How is that even possible? This whole motherhood thing is tough. Shoot, this whole life thing is tough. Just know, we are all in this together! http://liketk.it/2xz4h #liketkit @liketoknow.it

If you want the perfect tropical 🏝 print dress, this is it!! Entire outfit with dress, bag, and gold sandals is under $150! Gotta love @shopreddress. http://liketk.it/2wNTa #liketkit @liketoknow.it 📷| @kdimeg_photo

Anyone else love Folly Beach as much as I do? Found the perfect summer dress from @shopreddress for under $50 and the most adorable grapefruit cooler bag! TGIF! What are you all doing this weekend?! http://liketk.it/2wJBw #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 📷| @kdimeg_photo

Dress: $48 Sandals: $18 Bag: $68! @shopreddress does it again! Links to each item in my IG stories. 📷| @kdimeg_photo http://liketk.it/2wHpA #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Every girl needs a cute pup and a pretty rainbow 🌈 maxi dress! This dress is only $52 from @shopreddress. Gold heels were $32. And the fabulous bag was $68. Go get your Saturday shop on ladies. http://liketk.it/2wEDA #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Having way too much fun putting together outfits for our girls trip to the Bahamas! It’s almost @kathryndennis birthday and we are ready to celebrate. Love this Pom Pom bag from @shopreddress. #follyapproved #shopreddress http://liketk.it/2wDUr #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Goodness I love this dress! Anybody have an extra ticket to the Kentucky Derby? 🐎 I’m ready! Y’all remember, tonight is the @vineyardvines party on King Street from 6-9pm. Hope to see y’all there. http://liketk.it/2vkLc #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Who is celebrating the Kentucky Derby 🐎 on May 5th?! I found the cutest derby hat from @vineyardvines. And how perfect is this swan dress from @draperjames?! I totally pick the winning horse based on my favorite name. What about y’all?! http://liketk.it/2vkoE #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I’ll love you forever. I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be. Erik is stuck working all weekend so it’s just me and Harper this weekend. I’m thinking about taking him to the aquarium. What are your favorite kid-friendly activities? http://liketk.it/2uQE2 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #charlestonblonde #chsblogger #charleston #mommyblogger 📷| @catherine_ann_photography

The cutest pink house I ever did see. How cute is the little bunny 🐰 on the front step? If y’all could paint your home any color, what color would it be? http://liketk.it/2uOp4 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #charleston #chsblogger #chs #pinkhouse #explorecharleston #springfashion 📷| @catherine_ann_photography

The spring weather has arrived (hallelujah praise the Lord). You can never underestimate Charleston’s charm. Yesterday we took a stroll around town. I love the historic homes, the iron gates, the beautiful gardens and window boxes. Harper always ends our adventures with a dip in the pineapple fountain. It’s easy to take our beautiful city for granted but it’s times like these that remind me how blessed we are to live here. What’s your favorite free activity in town? #chs #charleston #charlestonsc #charlestonblonde http://liketk.it/2uMHo #liketkit @liketoknow.it 📷| @catherine_ann_photography

Y’all I’m not going to lie, Monday’s are ALWAYS a struggle for me. But I was excited to see that this dress is restocked at @shopreddress and is only $45! I love wearing it with a fun pair of boots. Isn’t the embroidery fabulous?! http://liketk.it/2uqJk #liketkit @liketoknow.it #charleston #chsblogger #chs #charlestonsc

When you buy the purse because the puppy fits inside. How cute is this purse from @shopreddress? Isn’t it crazy how much you can love a dog? I’m completely obsessed with Miss Folly. I want to write a blog post about breeds of dogs that are good with children. Do you all have any suggestions? I also want to include a list of cute puppy names so if y’all have some good ones, please let me know! #puppylove #puppymom #dogmomaf #miniaussie #australianshepherd #chs #charleston http://liketk.it/2upsx #liketkit @liketoknow.it

❤️Y’all I found the PERFECT Valentine’s Day outfit and this skirt was only $32! ❤️ My gorgeous pearl jewels are from @loyharnjewelers. And these are Erik’s favorite ABC Pant from @lululemonmen. When he says they are versatile, he’s not kidding. He wears them to work, the gym, then straight to a photo shoot. Get your Valentine a pair, he will love them! If you want a link to my outfit, shoot me a DM! http://liketk.it/2uoNk #liketkit @liketoknow.it

People ask me how I always look put together...the truth is, I don’t. My everyday appearance and my photo day appearance are very different. And honestly I have an AMAZING team that helps me look good for pictures. For makeup I go to @colurstudios. They are 💣! @barbie.colurstudios did my makeup for these photos and I LOVED it! @nahte_ from @urban_nirvana did my blowout and it looked PERFECT. I’m a huge fan of a fake spray tan! I love the Versa Spa. And y’all, a cute outfit always helps too. This clutch and these gingham shoes from @shopreddress are just too cute! http://liketk.it/2unfH #liketkit @liketoknow.it #charleston #chsblogger #explorecharleston #chucktown #chs #charlestonblonde 📷| @kdimeg_photo

What’s your favorite place in Charleston to explore? We love strolling down Rainbow 🌈 Row! The whole family is decked out in @VineyardVines.
