Snaps from Savannah, Georgia

Here I am! I did not fall off the face of the Earth.  Just down a flight of stairs. So, once again, I'm on vacation with a fun ankle sprain.  I mean, she could be broken, but I doubt it. I have an appointment on Monday for an X-ray to find out for sure.  

Was that yummy or what?  Or what, I know. This happened Sunday night on my birthday. Story of my life.   So, I'm sure you can understand why I've been a little MIA.

Also, I jet setted off to Savannah, Georgia yesterday for a birthday vacation with my Mom. We head to Hilton Head Friday, which I'm excited about.  I just got done with an hour long birthday massage, and it's raining outside so I thought before we head off to Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons restaurant for dinner, I'd share some pictures from my first night in Savannah.  This city is super gorgeous.

My new foot accessory / Riding on the airport shuttle with the senior citizens.  The bag is a Stella and Dot stylist reward, so unfortunately, you cannot buy it.  Sorry ladies!  I already had a lot of questions on Instagram about it. 

The view of the Savannah River from the window of our hotel room.

On the way to dinner wearing my new Stella and Dot Chantilly Lace Chandy earrings! Love them.

Picture I took hanging outside the car window on the way to dinner.

Dinner at A-J's Dockside Restaurant. Said to be the best place on the island to watch the sunset.

The sunset outside while we waited to be seated. No Instagram filter. 

The view from where I sat at dinner.

After dinner, I Googled "ice cream Savannah" and Leopold's Ice Cream popped up as the first result plus it was close to our hotel.  We headed over and I'm so glad we did. The ice cream parlor was super vintage and I love me some vintage.  Check out the history of the ice cream parlor here. 

One lonely apple crisp.  

Strawberry ice cream, my fave. 

Now you've seen all my pics from my first night in Savannah!  I've got to run aka hobble. My Mom wants me to do her eye make-up before we head to Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons.  Bye y'allllll!

CupCase: A mini suitcase for your bras!

If you follow me on Instagram (@thebargainblonde), then you may have seen me post this picture last week with the caption, "My CupCase arrived today!"

Many of you were curious and asked what a CupCase was, so today I'm dishing because every cute, stylish bargainista needs one for when you globe-trot.  Or "state-trot" (I made that word up).  Mine arrived last week just in time for me to pack before heading off to Charleston, SC for the weekend and I'm sad it took me so long to discover this girly creation because my suitcase has been missing out.

First, let me show you the CupCase up close and personal.

So freaking cute, right?  Do you spy the diamond studded zipper pull?  DIE!

The aforementioned CupCase is exactly what the title of this post states: a mini suitcase for your bras!   And its purpose is to protect your delicate brassieres them from crimping, crushing and creasing in your suitcase. I mean, what will they think of next?

They come in several fun satin color shades (even leopard, rawrrr!) and you can order different sizes to fit your boobie size specifications: A/B or C/D. Pink is my favorite color, so naturally I went with the hot pink.

Here is my CupCase mid-pack:

You just unzip the CupCase, place your bra in with the straps hanging out, then place your second bra the opposite direction with straps hanging out too.  Once you've finished stacking, you tuck the straps in and zip up.

So I was packing and Reese (my precious 4-year-old nephew) came in my room after his bath to say good night.  He was VERY intrigued with the CupCase and insisted he help me pack.  He decided all off my swimsuit tops needed to go in the CupCase, so I let him pack away.  Be still my heart.

Now you ladies know if I'm loving it, then you know it's got to be a bargain.  They are only $24.95, holl-er!  And if you buy 5 or more, you get 20% off, so they are only $19.95.  I think a CupCase would be perfecto as Bridesmaid gifts or Christmas presents for your besties.  Here are some of the color options if pink isn't your thing.

Shop the collection!

There you have it! Now you all know what a CupCase is.  I love mine and I loved traveling with it.  I have to be super organized when I travel so this just made my life a lot easier. You can even put hair accessories, jewelry (Stella and Dot jewelry *wink wink*), thongs, etc. in your CupCase, so it's multi-functional.

If you're now dying to have your own, just go to the CupCase Web site, pick your color/size and it ships directly to you in a cute CupCase box. Now go get your CupCase on!

A few things before I leave on a jet plane

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I'm currently "that bitch".

I've had this lingering sickness for a few weeks but nothing too debilitating.  As of the past couple of days, I literally cannot take a breath without coughing like I'm on my death bed. My co-workers who sit by me have got to want to slice me. I'd slice me.

Disgusting cough or not, I will rally because I'm off to South Carolina at 5 a.m. to meet up with this girl for a weekend getaway.  Some sights I'll be seeing in less than 24 hours:

I'll be updating our trip a lot on Instagram. You can follow me at @thebargainblonde

Also, I am scheduling a Friday Faves link-up post for Friday, so y'all can still get your posts ready and link-up with me even though I'll be laying on the beach while y'all slave away at the office.  It's OK, you can hate me.

Per the usual, I have not packed and I have not ran any necessary pre-vacation errands.  I'd blame my current sickness, but this is what I do before every trip.  I'm queen of waiting until the last minute.  Like we're talking I still need to go to the bank, get a new pair of sunglasses, do laundry, pack, paint my nails, go the post office, write thank you cards, etc.  Obvs not all this is going to happen, but I will try my best.

Does any one procrastinate like me before traveling? Or are you on top of your packing game?
