Blush-Worthy Dress at The Olde Pink House
Mid-morning brunch is kind of a big deal in Savannah.
Mimosas and all that.
I’ll be honest - most of the time going to brunch looks like a group of girlfriends at an outdoor sidewalk table, sipping lattes, head to toe in athleasure wear and Kendra Scott accessories. Pretty much the universal symbol for basic, right?
But every so often one of us gets a bee in our bonnet about really “doing” brunch - and that sort of affair usually involves white tablecloths, bruschetta french toast, and the prettiest gaggle of dresses you ever did see.
So I knew when I came across this Gal Meets Glam blush pink sundress, I just had to have it. The tapestry fabric is thick enough to allow for real structure, while the classic lines keep it fit-and-flare playful. The bow at the neckline is such a sweet detail - and I really do love the pleating in the skirt. There is SO much fabric, ya’ll.
This dress feels nothing but luxurious.

The Olde Pink House is one of Savannah’s premier restaurants - boasting a packed reservation book for the majority of the season. They’re famous for their attention to detail, the artistry behind their flavor profiles - and their pride in their history. The house is the oldest standing Georgian mansion in Savannah’s Historic District, built by Savannah’s famous Habersham family just prior to the Revolution.
Savannah is full of old colonial and antebellum mansions - you can learn more about some of her most impressive houses here.

When it comes to an outfit for a morning shopping trip on Broughton Street, I’m always looking for a fun balance between comfort and style. These Spanx leather moto leggings, basic white tee, rose suede duster, and pumps were the perfect combination.
It doesn’t get super cold in Savannah very often, so when it does I make sure to have as much fun as possible. This vintage faux fox fur coat is an absolute favorite.
When I saw this Bordeaux satin top at Fabrik’ here in Savannah, I knew right away I had to have it. It’s just different enough without falling into any sort of “trend” category. On the contrary, the balloon sleeves and tapered button wrists are decidedly vintage - in the best possible way.
This smart, sophisticated piece is literally bringing all the fabulous fall vibes for me right now.

I give you this Ali & Jay romper. I walked into Harper Boutique in downtown Savannah the other day, and I just knew. We were made for each other.
There’s something magical about Savannah - you don’t have to spend much time before that becomes really clear. The Spanish moss, the centuries-old oak trees, antebellum mansions, cobblestone paths, vibrant gardens, the scent of jasmine on the air. It makes a girl want to dress up a little. :)
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, y’all. When it comes to a killer wardrobe simplicity and classic lines are key. Pair that principle with a good old black and white pallet, and you’ve got yourself a timeless outfit.
The trouble with Autumn in Savannah is that it doesn’t actually seem to arrive until well into October, hopefully in time for Halloween. All of that to say, it stays warm here. Pretty much all year. And the summer-to-fall wardrobe transition can be especially hard to navigate.
I’m always on the hunt for a classic day dress that will take me from brunch, to lunch meetings, and maybe even early cocktails.

Savannah changes after dark.
The heat softens. The crowds thin. The historic district grows quieter — and more atmospheric. For many visitors, nighttime ends with dinner or drinks, but locals know that Savannah’s evenings offer far more.
