Vacation Part 3

For those of you a little rusty on your geography, Savannah, GA is just a short 45 minute drive from Hilton Head Island, SC, where we went for vacation.  So we took a ride over and spent the day in this beautiful, fun, friendly city.  We chatted with lots of friendly people (and even met a fellow New Jerseyan), saw lots of spanish moss hanging on everything, ate fried green tomatoes, visited artists working in their galleries, and strolled around in the sunshine.  It was everyone's favorite part of the vacation by far.  And here's an interesting fact: you're allowed to drink alcohol on the streets of Savannah.  Bars and restaurants all offer drinks to go!  We certainly took advantage of that little bonus and didn't waste more than 5 minutes inside any bar.  The boys especially loved it.  I don't think there was a moment a drink (or two) wasn't in their hands all day long.

No time to watch the whole movie?  Here's the f#@ing short version

 

Vacation Part 2

Since our drive from NJ to the very tip of SC takes 14 hours, we decided to break it up a bit with a stop in Washington, DC.  We drove there in the morning, spent the day, then drove for a few more hours before stopping at a hotel for the night.  On the way back we did the same thing, and it worked like a charm.  Not only did we get to extend our vacation a little bit by playing in DC for 2 days, but what would have felt like forever sitting in a car actually felt like the shortest road trip I've ever taken!  I'm still shocked when I realize that we spent a total of 28 hours just sitting on our butts, belting out tunes at the top of our lungs (ok, well maybe that was just me), and busting out some legitimately embarrassing car-dancing moves that we'd never be brave enough to do in public.

Hello lovely readers of bitty.and.bunny. How are you doing today? All good I hope?

Well, the super amazing Kym has asked if I would do a guest post for her whilst she's off gallivanting, and of course I jumped at the chance; I mean bitty.and.bunny readers must be super cool just like the lady herself!

I'm Rachel by the way, Kym's British Blogging Buddy, and I blog over at Rachel The Hat where I generally ramble on and play dress up 3 times a week ;)

So the theme Set is; Show me what you'd wear on a road trip.

We often do a 4 hour trip to hubby's parents house in London so I feel well equipped for this assignment.  So without further a do here's my outfit!

Shirt, Skirt and top underneath: Next

Shoes: Old

Bag: Old

Belt: Vintage (used to hubbys when he was a rocker at 18!haha!)

Now for the logic :

To me any road-trip requires a large amount of comfort. I do however still like to try and look half decent (unless I'm traveling at some ungodly hour, where in those events it's jammies all the way).

To me Maxi skirts are super comfy, they're like freedom for your legs whilst not being in the nudie!

Shoes; Have to be comfy and slip ons so I can take off and put on easily once in the car.

Chambray shirt; for when the air con's on a little high or when the temperature drops.

BIG bag; I'm a Mum so I carry a huge amount of crap around with me on a daily basis; on any given road trip you can add an extra ton of crap and that would be about right. So big bags are a must.

Sunglasses; That's a given right? I have sunnies in my car even in winter. Squinting equals wrinkles. No thank you Ma'am!

Funky top; for if I want to take the chambray off and look a bit smart, you know if we're stopping en route for lunch.

Add a sweep of red lippy and I am good to go. Red lipstick makes everything better in my eyes.

Now when I pack I tend to pack a leettlle too much; it's a problem I'm working on.  But I figured, if I can wear a lot of things then it means I can pack less (or more as it seems to be!) Each of the pieces  I pick for my road trips are things that will work with all other things I've packed. The top can be remixed with shorts/jeans. The skirt can have a different top, the shoes go with everything and we all know you can pretty much stick a chambray shirt with anything!

Genius I tell you.

So there you have it folks, my road-trippin' outfit!

Hope you like it!

I'm off to go and dream about holidays and make a mental made up list of what I'd pack to go to my dream destination. A girl can dream right?

Take it steady ladies

Meet Joyce

Hi everyone! I'm Joyce from Joyful Outfits and I am so excited to be guest blogging here today while Kym is on a road trip :) So this is what I would wear on a road trip. When I am traveling, I always like wearing comfy clothes and shoes.  ALWAYS.  Thus, the loose top, loose sweater vest, and the flat shoes.  And just to make this outfit a bit more fun, I decided to also wear the necklace.
