I can't believe that it's almost been two weeks since I was in Charleston for my 23rd birthday! It was an amazing trip with four of my closest friends, and I'm so happy to finally be sharing it with all of you! Because of the amount of pictures we took and things we did, I've split this post into two parts.
I hope you enjoy seeing our Charleston birthday adventures!
Katy, Kaitlyn and I decided to leave Boone super early on Friday morning. I ended up waking at 5AM to pack and make sure that everything was ready to go, and then headed to ChickfilA to meet them for breakfast before we left. This cute and comfortable maxi dress was perfect for the ride down...

...along with my Brina Box necklace
and my new Kate Spade bag that I got for my birthday!
It all became real when Katy and Kaitlyn pulled up with their car all decorated! This made me even more excited! We were really on our way to Charleston!

We arrived in Charleston about 1:30 on Friday afternoon, just in time for our lunch reservation at Cru Cafe. Marcia and Don had recommended Cru to me a few weeks ago, and it did not disappoint!
I decided on the shrimp BLT and fresh fruit! So good!
This is also where we met up with my friend Alex for the first time! Alex recently moved to Charleston, and I hadn't seen her in four months!
She acted as our tour guide and showed us some of her favorite spots in Charleston.
We were able to fit in just the right amount of shopping and sightseeing, before checking out the condo we'd be staying in for the weekend.
Love the view of the street behind us!
We got to the condo around 6PM, and were in awe of how nice it was! I am so thankful to Marcia for letting us stay there. We were in heaven! After riding for five hours, and shopping for another four, we decided to have pizza delivered for dinner and wait for Danielle to arrive!
Danielle got to Charleston just in time to put her party clothes on and catch the taxi with us. We called a local cab company earlier that evening, and let them know what time we'd like to be picked up. In the meantime, we made sure to snap a lot of photos!
Even though this was my actual birthday night, we decided to save our best outfits until Saturday, when Danielle could be there with us to eat dinner and everything. On Friday, I actually wore my birthday dress from last year. It had only been worn once, so I figured why not?!
I'm wearing a Forever 21 dress, Kate Spade bow earrings and Lilly Pulitzer wedges.
Everyone loved the glitter champagne glasses that I decorated for them!
It wouldn't be a birthday without balloons and flowers!
That night, we visited four completely different bars. I thought it was crazy how each bar was so different from the one next door!
After a few drinks, we were all ready to head back to the condo from our first successful night!
