Long Shorts
If there’s one trend I’m excited about, it’s this whole longer shorts thing. I dipped my toe in the water with this pair from Staud, but also ordered this chartreuse pair. It’s going to feel really weird at first. It did for me, but now this length is starting to feel normal and short shorts are starting to feel, well . . . short! I’ve gotten used to this newer silhouette, and I love it. The extra coverage is frankly very nice, and now I’m wearing them for everything from errands and lounging at home to dinner and drinks. See below for an assortment of favorite long shorts (across several different fabrics and price points), plus all the details on the three looks I styled with my Staud shorts.
Happy Pieces for Spring Under $200
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces to love right now, especially as I think about what I want to wear this Spring. I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun.

Carly’s Cut, Vol. 8
March always feels like a turning point in Charleston. The start of spring can go one of two ways: either the weather is impossibly perfect, light and breezy with no humidity in sight, or the pollen rolls in and takes you out for a week straight. No real middle ground. Still, it’s one of my favorite times of year. It reminds me of that first real shift in New York, when everything softens and comes back to life. The blooms are brighter, people linger a little longer, and there’s a renewed sense of energy that makes the city feel full again. Hibernation is over, and I’m more than ready to rejoin the world.
