Where taking it easy is serious business!

{Koozie\’s $4.00}

Coast Apparel is a preppy chic company out of Pawleys Island South Carolina. Their motto is, \”Where taking it easy is serious business.\” Let me tell you that their clothes are serious business. Their website says, \”Our clothing lines are designed to take you back to the coast: in your heart, in your mind and on your back.\”

{the revolutionary \”Winyah\” woman\’s polo $72.50}

While the weather outside here is frightful my Coast apparel has me feeling delightful. Can I share a little secret with you? I absolutely dislike polos on myself. My body just isn\’t built properly for adorable polos…. that is until now. Coast Apparel polos are absolutely impressive and accent my curves properly. This is definitely my go-to company for polos. Plus the little crab is so cute!


{fleece pull-over $98.50}

The Coast fleece pull-over is absolutely perfect for fall and winter… at least before the temperatures drop below zero. I wouldn\’t compare this jacket to a North Face as it is not meant to be worn in frigid temperature. However for a preppy look at school, in the office for casual Friday or just to run out in it\’s absolutely wonderful.
{coast cap $20.00}

Can we pause for a moment and talk about how cute these hats are? I mean really what girl wouldn\’t want that pink cap? Also I don\’t know about you but I absolutely LOVE when guys where white hats. At only $20 I think this cap would make a perfect Christmas gift…. or even a birthday gift.


Are you a fan of the preppy look?

Candy Cane Lane

A Christmas tradition in my house is to create a gingerbread house every year. While I create my own every year I also love to check out the life size ones in Michigan and sip on some gingerbread inspired treats.

First I just want to say that EVERYONE on your gift list would thank you if you bought them Poo-Pourri. From the girl who\’s in college to the boys you live with. So the name is weird right? Honestly though this is the greatest product in the entire universe…no joke. Say good-bye to the stinky poop smell. All you do is spray this into your toilet before you have to go and all smells are erased. Trust me all the guys in my life have tested it out… works like a charm!

I have had such an issue finding a blow dryer that works good. Zoe launched blow dryers and flat irons in daisy and black and white dots. Not only are the products adorable, but they work amazing. A girl in your life is definitely in need of some Zoe product love.
