A Day in Charleston

Hey guys!! I am very excited about today’s post because I get to talk about my favorite place ever! Yesterday my best friend Lauren aka Simply Lauren Liz and I went to Charleston, South Carolina. We were only there for a day but it was well worth it.
We left yesterday around 7:30 am and had to stop for Starbucks of course. Our ride to Charleston wasn’t too bad, we were there by 11. 
Our first stop was Battery Park! The houses along the battery are absolutely beautiful. I can only dream of living in one. 
Lauren and I explored Church Street which is right near the Battery. The houses were beautiful and so rich with history. There were perfect places for photos. Everywhere you looked there was a gorgeous backdrop. 
Lauren and I spent about an hour wandering around and taking pictures. The worst part was the heat. South Carolina has got to be one of the hottest places on the planet lol. 
I wore my favorite white jeans from Old Navy which you can shop similar ones here! I also wore a cute top that I got from TJ Maxx.  And I wore my platinum Jack Rogers.

After we took pictures and explored for a while we were ready for lunch. We left the Battery and drove to Kings Street. If you’re looking for places to shop in Charleston, Kings Street has a ton of stores. You can find places like Loft, Lilly Pulitzer, Gap, and Vineyard Vines.

We grabbed brunch once we got to Kings Street. We ate a cute restaurant called Kitchen 208. My food was so good y’all! I got the Charleston brunch special and it included bacon, eggs, home fries, and a biscuit. It’s a great place to grab food if you’re going to be on Kings Street!

After we ate we headed out to do some shopping. We pretty much just window shopped lol neither one of us bought anything. But sometimes window shopping is just as fun! The last store we went to was The Skinny Dip. It was the cutest store I’d ever been too! I wanted to buy everything.

There is a coffee and wine bar upstairs at The Skinny Dip and it’s cute, it even has an outdoor patio! I especially loved the Charleston inspired art on the wall!
We walked back down Kings Street and headed to Lauren’s car. We drove from Charleston to Sullivan’s Island. It’s probably a 25 minutes drive. We ate dinner at Mex 1 Coastal Cantina, I had the Banging Shrimp Baja Bowl and it was great!! 

After dinner, we decided we were going to head back home. I love visiting Charleston, even if it is just for the day! Maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to call it home.

Thanks for reading y’all!
xoxo Emily
