Photoshooting in Cola!

Hey y'all! So Monday August, 8th 2016 I spent the day with Hannah. If you've been following my blog for some time you've definitely heard about her! Her Instagram is @scusemysouthernprep! This whole get together was planned the night before. From the outfits, to the times and everything in between was last minute. I guess that's how we roll! But without further adu here's how our Monday went! 

The 45 minute drive to Hannah's house in Columbia, SC was rough this time. The traffic was terrible due to wrecks on the interstate that morning, and to make things worse, I missed an exit on the interstate and was lost. Thankfully my GPS rerouted correctly and I was able to get to Hannah's only 10 minutes late! 

After picking her up we decided to head on to Pink Sorbet (our local Lilly store) hoping to meet up with the beloved owners that are the absolute sweetest. Sadly they weren't there, but we looked around anyway. Neither of us bought anything but I was able to snap two photos! 

Next we had some time to spare before my orthodontist appointment in West Columbia, so we stopped by the South Carolina State House to take some pictures. We were dressed in Lilly Pulitzer leggings and we each had on tennis shoes and a white shirt. During this mini shoot we took pictures with bubblegum, yoga mats, nature, and just different things. During our photoshoot we had several people walk by and stare at us which was pretty awkward, but that's something you deal with while taking pictures in a public place. Here are some photos from this mini shoot! 

We headed to my orthodontist for a quick check up on my teeth. I was in and out super fast because apparently I wear my retainer like I'm supposed to. (I actually don't lol) But after seeing the orthodontist we both were starving. We ate lunch at Grouch's which is a fabulous sub shop around the midlands area. If you ever find yourself there, I highly recommend the White Moose sandwhich! It's the bomb.com!!! 

Now it was time for another photoshoot! We decided to take pictures at this gorgeous church beside the State House. It had orange walls that stood out in the city full of gray and white buildings. After we changed into outfit #2 and before we took pictures we decided to play a game of Bean Boolze. If you've never played it before, I wouldn't recommend it. To play you spin to see which color of jelly bean you pick. The first one Hannah spun was yellow with specks. You should probably know that there are two different flavors that look like each jellybean, one good and one bad. So Hannah's were moldy cheese or carmel corn. Of course no one wants to try a moldy cheese jelly bean, but guess who did, me, that's who. Of course Hannah got carmel corn. But needless to say we only played three rounds because after trying booger and toothpaste, I was done. I never got a single good flavored jelly bean and it really sucked. But lets stop my rant right there. 

As we were getting out the car to head to this gorgeous church somethng not so good happened. My fingers were shut in the car door. I unknowingly had my pinky in the door jam of the back door and as soon as Hannah shut the door my finger started throbbing. But the photoshoot must go on, and that's exactly what it did. So here are some photos in my Lilly dresses at the church!

The next mini shoot was at the State House once again. Here we were in outfit #3 and #4. We just decided to walk around and see where we each wanted to take pictures. We took photos with different items as well. So here are some photos from our third amd final shoot.

After our last photoshoot we drove to Pelican's Snoballs and got a snoball. I got watermelon while Hannah got plain ice. So that was my Monday in Cola. I hope you enjoyed getting to know what I did and seeing some of the photos! Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see more of the photos from these shoots. 

Xoxo,
