Charleston SC Restaurant Rec Roundup + Sale Shopping

Happy Friday Eve! Feels good to be on the heels of a nice weekend!

We have some nice family time ahead of us including a short trip down to our fave coastal city, Charleston SC! You all have been so helpful (on Instagram!) helping with restaurant suggestions. I know the big, established restaurants pretty well but I was really hoping for some insight into the newer, happenin' type places, and you guys really delivered. So thank you for that, and I've rounded up some of your recommendations here!

Before I jump into that, I did hop over to the Nordstrom Sale this morning to scope out what I want to pick up when the sale opens up on July 20th. For any of you cardholders, it's open as of TODAY. 

Here are some of my favorites. Shop ALL sale merch by clicking HERE.

J. CREW RUFFLE SLEEVE TEE

$32.90 HERE

I love the green and white combo, but it also comes in navy/pink stripe and black/white stripe. Can't beat the price of this top, and I love the ruffle sleeve. 

This combo is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find in-store!

HALOGEN OPEN FRONT POCKET CARDIGAN

$42.90 (down from $79!) HERE

and

BP RAW EDGE V-NECK TEE

$11.90 (down from $17) HERE

The long cardi at $42.90 is seriously such a steal. So cozy and soft, I love the idea of throwing it on for a night at the movie theater with some shorts and a tee. Perfect for summer when you need some breeze on your legs but want to cozy up in a chilly theater. 

The white tee is going to be best with a cami under it -- it's pretty sheer. 

But they have it in other solid colors and stripes that are less sheer. This color below is Brown Cattail, and I also tried it on in black which was not sheer. 

Coming in as a major fave is this amazing soft v-neck sweater. PLUS they have it in lots of colors including a gorgeous yellow.

BP TEXTURED STITCH V-NECK PULLOVER

$25.90 HERE

Available in six different colors. HUUUUGE win on this one. Twenty five bucks. 

BP RIBBED CARDIGAN

$25.90 HERE

I love how relaxed and "I'm not even trying to look cute" this is, but my reality as a nursing mama is that this comfy ribbed sweater is PRAISE HANDS GOOD.

The buttons are functional and I mean ... it's amazing. 

LEITH SIDE SPLIT MIDI CARDIGAN

$49.90 HERE (color: Purple Moss)

and
BP RAW EDGE V-NECK TEE
$11.90 (down from $17) HERE

Here's another cute combo for a movie date or a breezy beach night. I love that Purple Moss color. 

And same black Raw Edge V-Neck tee, but with the 

CHELSEA28 OVERSIZE OPEN CARDIGAN

$59.90 HERE

Now, this is really oversized, and the XS/S had plennnnty of room on me, but if you're going for that slouchy oversized look, this is your jam. 

Moving on to Charleston, SC! The Holy City!
