… to the beach!
Thankfully I was able to fit [mostly] everything in my Vera Bradley bag, thanks to this ingenious car bar that I bought to transport clothes to and from school. It’s so handy… you don’t have to deal with folding and unfolding and making stuff fit in a suitcase. Just take clothes out of the car and right into your closet!
This was only a small portion of the hanging clothes I brought…
you don’t even want to see how many I ended up bringing!
Best $15 I ever spent… you can get one here. Totally worth it.
Anyways, we got the keys to the house around 4 and I spent the next couple of hours unpacking…
Love the room – it’s very sunny!
… and getting everything organized and in its proper place. I even remembered to pack my Lily wine glass, which will be making an appearance later in the week (along with a fun drink recipe!)
The rest of the afternoon was spent biking, enjoying my family, and doing some damage at the grocery store..
Um, talk about junk food! This photo contains all of my weaknesses… Diet Coke.. chocolate covered raisins… Reese’s Puffs… TOASTER STRUDELS!!
I am usually a very healthy eater, but on vacation I think it’s more than okay to splurge. When I’m at the beach, I want to enjoy what I eat and not think too much about calories or what’s “healthy” or “unhealthy”. If I want a burger and sweet potato fries, by golly, I’m going to get a burger and sweet potato fries. And maybe even a peanut butter ice cream sundae.
Okay, this was definitely supposed to be a short post, but I have ONE more thing to share with you guys.
My new phone cover came in!
Cover by Abigail Lee Designs
The case was a little thinner than I was expecting, but overall I’m very pleased with it! The colors are vibrant and I love the monogramming. Even though it’s not very thick, it’s still sturdy and will help protect my little phone (because my phones have always had a “jumping” habit… they always seem to just jump out of my hands… onto hard floors).
If you’re thinking of getting a cover.. you should definitely order from Abigail Lee! There’s plenty of color combinations and patterns to choose from.
I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! 🙂
Love,
Cait
I have a phone cover similar to yours and I LOVE it! 🙂
The phone cover is too cute! Navy and pink is my favorite color combo. Have fun at the beach:)) Take a ton of pictures!
You may just be my hero with that car bar! GENIUS!
Have a great time at the beach! I love your phone case…I will actually be featuring Abigail Lee Etsy Shop this week in a post!
Toaster Strudels? Yummm. I need one of those car bars! Moving would be soo much easier. Love the monogrammed phone cover. Have a great week!!
Oooh… I love the hanging bar, super clever! Also, adorable phone cover! I might have to order one as well, since my phone seems to have the same habit of "jumping"
Aww that room is so adorable! I'm itching to decorate my new townhouse when I get back to school… and that car bar would be amazing for driving my car down to school. I love your blog!
Bisous,
Rachel

So jealous of your beach vacay! I wish I had known about that car hanger when I was still in school! I always took tons of hanging stuff with me, but would just drape it over the seats!
Oh and ps–great cover choice for the phone!
I LOVE love love your suitcase! Where ever did you get it?!! Enjoy your trip!
Have fun! The car rack is genius! I'll definitely have to pick one up. It will totally eliminate my huge Vera bag that I drag with me on my trips home from school.
So wish I could be at the beach right now! That bar to hang close on in the car is genius! I must invest in one! Love the phone cover!
okkk…I've been debating getting one of those beautiful monogrammed phone covers for several weeks now, and you've convinced me to go for it! Love it!! (…now what colors to choose)
Wow, that car bar does look handy! Hope you're having a lovely time at the beach.
I looove that cover!! I have a car bar too-it really is the most handy thing ever invented. Have a fabulous time at the beach!!
oh my goodness there are too many things to love in this post I cannot focus on just one thing!! The phone, your room, that amazing clothes hanger in your car! where did you get that by the way? bc I really want one =]
i looove that iphone cover- def will check that shop out when I need a new one!!
Chocolate covered raisins are my weakness too– I could probably eat that entire container! …and now I want some.
I am definitely loving the iPhone cover!
I love the iPhone cover! So adorable. That beach room is beautiful as well and I have a canvas tote that also seems to make an appearance whenever I need to pack. Have a great time on your vacation.
Very cute case! I'm thinking of ordering one.. because my peeling Lilly iphone case is just not cutting it. Can you tell if it's going to peel like the Lilly ones?
xoxo.
The room is beautiful! I love it! How cute that you hung your clothes in the car. I would have done the same!
Happy Monday
Have a great time at the beach, how fun!! Love your new phone case too, so cute!
Oh my gosh – that car bar is great- I can't believe I've never heard of it, but it seems like a great idea! I'll have to get on that..haha! I hope you're having a fun time at the beach! 🙂
That "car bar" is genius…wish I had one when I was in college!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have fun at the beach!
Ooh I'm so jealous you're at the beach! The room yall are staying in looks nice and bright and I'm sure the beach view is amazing!
I want to be at the beach! So jealous!
Absolutely LOVE your phone cover and seriously I need to find one of those car bars how cool is that!!
xo
Your new cover is so cute! I'm on the hunt for one for my BB.
Your iPhone case is ADORABLE. My favorite color combination. Too bad no one makes cases for blackberries. So sad. And I'm totally envious of your beach house room! Hope you have/had a great time! xo
ummm the bar is a great idea, I cannot believe I never thought of that.
Fun! I love the keys! Your snack choices are right up my ally! haha I also LOVE your cell phone case! I actually just put in an order for one just like it, and I can't wait to receive it! 🙂
