Weekend Blitz

Happy July 4th!

‘MERICA! Although the U.S. team might not have pulled it off, we all know that it’s more American to not be good at soccer.

First installment of Jeffrey’s Weekend Pick (because McCown is lazy): Has the Polar Vortex version 2.0 got you down?

While the snow has stopped, it sounds like the damage has been done and the frigid temperatures are here to stay. Our suggestion for the weekend? A weekend trip to hit the ski slopes now that they’ve all been coated with feet and feet of fresh powder! Here are the ski slopes that were best affected by the winter weather:

West Virginia fared exceptionally well in this lineup (that’s the first–and last– time I’ll ever say that WV fared well at something). Take a look at the map, at least 3 resorts are less than a [...]

Guess where we’re headed tonight? Well, first we’ll be singin’ along to every single Hootie and the Blowfish song at tonight’s concert… And THEN…

Yep, that’s right, we’re headed to Edisto Island, one of my favorite places in the world!

Edisto is one of South Carolina’s Sea Islands and offers what most other beaches don’t:  almost nothing.  There’s no hotel, no fast food restaurant and no stop light on Edisto.

Welcoming all visitors is the “Mystery Tree,” a tree in the middle of the marsh that has been mysteriously decorated each season.  And, inviting all those leaving the [...]

Check out McCown’s interview on WCIV-TV ABC Charleston earlier today–watch out Connie Chung, Soledad O’Brien, ok insert name of relevant female news anchor here:

Everyone loves a weekend getaway, but, when Thursday comes, I usually find myself a bit… shall we say, perplexed… over what to pack. I’m just staring into my closet thinking the ideas will come to me if I stare long enough.

The trickiest part about packing is where you’re headed. Does the weather match your hometown? If not, you may need to pull out your off-season stored clothes. What activities do you plan to do? If you’re planning a wide variety of activities – from shopping, to climbing a mountain, you’ll have to remember to pack accordingly.

While it’s all very elementary stuff, it can still be hard to squeeze [...]

Who doesn’t love shopping?

And, while shopping for basics isn’t as fun as shopping for glitzy, glamorous dresses, these basic items are a necessity for traveling light.

Light Chambray available at Old Navy for only $24.95! 

Striped cardigan that goes with everything – well, except that striped maxi below.

A neutral [...]

I’m headed out of town tonight.

Where? I don’t know yet!!

We’re weekend-blitz-ing it up this weekend to a mystery location that only Jeffrey knows.

Here’s what I know:

1) We’re flying out tonight on Spirit Air 2) I can only take a backpack’s worth of stuff with me. 3) We’re renting a car. 4) We leave Sunday. 5) When I asked Jeffrey what to pack, he said, “It’s summertime.”

I love surprises especially when they involve traveling, so I’m so excited I can’t sit still!!!

I’ll keep you posted…check my Instagram later tonight (or early tomorrow morning) for [...]
