During Winter break, my family and I had the pleasure of visiting the cutest (and quietest) hidden town in Georgia...Blue Ridge. We chose this place as a last minute ordeal and it ended up being such a relaxing and unforgettable week. There wasn't much to do but when we did do something I made sure to take pictures for you guys! In my previous post, I promised that I would wear some of those outfits during my trip and I did. If you're looking for a quiet yet beautiful getaway (and maybe some more outfit inspo), keep scrolling!

WHERE TO GO

Basically, their downtown area was about less than a mile long but you can find some of the cutest shops/cafe's all around. We visited downtown a few times along with some stops to various cities during our stay and here were my favorite spots.

DAS KAFFEE HAUS

First things first, coffee. I probably spent about 2 hours in this cafe just taking pictures and enjoying my caramel latte. This coffee shop just felt so "homey" and I could have stayed there all day. I think this might have been one of my favorite spots in Downtown Blue Ridge, along with a few more I will mention.

CANOE

This cute little boutique caught my eye because of its super rustic decor. Being a small downtown area, some of these local shops have so much charm and character that it's hard not to love. They have tons of handmade delicate jewelry in the front of the shop and towards the back they sell leather bags and some cow hide rugs. Although their merchandise is real fur/leather - I didn't purchase anything. However, if that's something you like, then definitely check this place out!

TUPELO TEA

If you don't know already, I live for coffee/tea shops and this tea place exceeded my expectations. They have TONS of different selections to choose from and the family who works there are more than happy to recommend some. I tried the Foxtrot tea...and oh my lanta. It's probably the best tea I have ever had. Foxtrot is a mix chamomile, peppermint, roobois and vanilla, if you want to order some tea go click on this link.

MERCIER ORCHARDS

I had never been to an orchard before and I was so impressed by this one! We visited on a rainy day not really expecting much from the store because, well, it's winter and there were no apples but the place is huge! This apple farm holds the yummiest mini deep fried apple pies I have ever tasted (I'm pretty sure I ate 5) oh and definitely buy some apple cider - we took home 2 jugs haha.This is must-do if you're ever in the Blue Ridge area! Oh, how I wish there was one of these in Miami!

HELEN, GEORGIA

Just an hour away from Blue Ridge sits this ADORABLE Bavarian town in Helen, Georgia. If you've been to Epcot in Disney World before it looks like it belongs in there. This mile-ish long strip is filled with local shops, restaurants and bars. If you have some extra time on your trip I would recommend visiting this cute little village.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

On our last day we decided to take a detour and stop by the historic town, Savannah. I wish we had more time but from what we saw, I am defintely going back. This charming town has squares (parks) every block where you can just enjoy a walk with your dog or just read a book and there's a ton of cafés on every corner!

The architecture in Savannah is a whole other story but here is a little peek of my favorite building

We stopped by this daily market place right on the river and they sold the cutest trinkets, hats, jewelry, etc.

And of course, how could I leave Georgia without stopping at a coffee shop? And a DELICIOUS coffee shop that is too.

I ordered a plain ol' vanilla latte but I ended up getting an iced matcha latte afterwards (who else loves matcha? I'm obsessed!)

WHAT I WORE

So i created a small compilation of all of my outfits from the trip and as well as where you can copy them! I will also mention which ones were featured in my last post too!

The details for the outfits above can be found here

I found this black and cream turtle neck sweater at Nordstrom Rack!

For a day out in Savannah, I wore a black body suit with some high waisted blue jeans and I paired that with a mauve-y long cardigan and the comfiest white sneakers ever!

So, for my favorite outfit I wore a black and white long sleeve (similar) with a puffer jacket and some black skinny jeans and my favorite go-to leather booties! Just click the darkened letters and it will take you to where I bought them!

And that's pretty much it! Sorry for taking so long, I've been so busy with school #collegelife. But don't worry, I have really exciting news that I want to share with you all so don't forget to subscribe and my follow my Instagram @somethingmarble for updates!

Xoxo,

Yay ♥
