It's Always Sunny in Charleston

        It's almost summer in Charleston, and that means one thing. It's time to arm yourself with a myriad of sunglasses to beat off the intense rays. Some people are a one pair ride or die type, and some, like me, find that they have to have a pair of sunglasses to match every outfit. Do you want your sunglasses to blend in? Or do you want them to stand out? There's no right answer. For me, it just depends on the day. Sometimes I need that extra drama for an outfit, and sometimes I just need my eyes not to hurt. So I've rounded up some of my favorite sunglasses from over the years to give y'all inspiration for the summer.

XOXO Gossip Girl

    The original Gossip Girl has been one of my favorite shows ever since it started. I mean, how can you not love drama combined with beautiful people and gorgeous clothes. And there's also the mystique of these people that live a life that most of us can't even imagine. 
    But, we're here to talk about the clothes. I fully expected majority of the items worn on the show, to be in the realm of Prada and Louboutin and far out of the reach of the normal person. However, when I started doing research I was pleasantly suprised. There were a lot of Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor, and Nannette Lepore pieces amongst other brands that was either familiar with, or from which I already owned pieces. [Side note: If you're not familiar with the website Worn on TV and you typically look at characters and you're dying to know where to get their outfits, then you need to check it out!!] So after this discovery, I started keeping my eye out for pieces from the show. I found a seller on Poshmark (@gapgirl259) who mostly just sells garments from the show. Some of the items I've found were the wrong size for me, and some just weren't in my budget that month, but here are the ones that I've collected so far. It's an ongoing process, so once I add to my collection I'll have to do a followup post. Enjoy!
