indie grits & some beach essentials

Anybody made it to Indie Grits yet?! Indie Grits is a week-long independent film festival held here in Columbia once a year. Each night has a different event, from food, live music and screenings of independent films by local artists. For more information, check out the official website here.

Unfortunately, I'll be missing the festivities this weekend because I'm packing up the boyfriend & the pup and heading home to the beach for the weekend to visit my parents & attend a dear friend's wedding.

I was born and raised at the beach, so I know a thing or two about spending a day in the sun & sand. Here are some of my beach day essentials:


beach towel • bathing suit • sandals • jean cut-offs • sunglasses • sunscreen

I'm guilty of enjoying a cold beer on the beach. But don't forget to bring lots of water, too!
