I'm Going Back To Charleston...Back Where I Belong.

Who here doesn't dream about Spring Break vacation? Whether you're in college or not, we all could use a week to leave all our worries behind. One of my favorite places in the world, is actually my hometown - Charleston, SC. It's a one of a kind city with gorgeous weather, delicious food, tons of shopping, exciting nightlife, and miles of beaches and waterfronts. A perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.

I've lived in Chicago for almost 3 years now and have, unfortunately, only made it back down to Charleston once during that time. This is why the Spring Break of my dreams would be to head back down to the "Holy City" to lounge on the beaches, shop my favorite boutiques, and drink at my local spots.

Spending a week in Charleston would be one of the best Spring Break vacations as its a city that is very easy-going, yet knows how to have a really good time. When packing for a trip down South I always remember to keep things light, casual, and above all, fun!

An essential for a Charlestonian get-away is an easy to wear dress that can be thrown over your bathing suit  for a day at the beach or dressed up with some sassy sandals for a night on the town. Charleston is a very stylish city and though you want to keep it casual ( you are on vacay after all!), be sure to bring your A-game ;)

If you're looking to take a trip in the near future I would (obviously) highly recommend looking into Charleston. You still get the feeling of being somewhere tropical without all the cheesy, touristy gimmicks. The city is full of Southern charm, a true gem of the South. Trust me, one day in the city and you'll never want to leave.
