A Weekend In Highlands

During the morning of day two of our wonderful weekend away in Highlands, North Carolina, we enjoyed a splendid breakfast in Madison’s located in the Old Edwards Inn. Afterward, we spent some time shopping and strolling around the village.

The bread lover had pancakes. I had the granola and plain yogurt (both made there at Madison’s) with fresh berries. We also shared a fresh-made bagel with cream cheese.

The images below provide a tour around the front of the Inn.

I purchased a replacement tank for the one I am wearing by Chico’s, a couple of years old. It is always good to have a similar backup for the classic basics you enjoy wearing most often. Honestly, I have been looking for another one for about a year, so I was thrilled when I saw this one. I also bought a lightweight bangle bracelet set, which can be worn with a watch or alone. Later in the day, I visited “Spoiled Rotten,” another of my favorite shops located in the village. There I purchased my new favorite bra, which is the long Tankee by Shapeez. It is wise to find a shop that carries these in your area because it is best to try them if you are buying one for the first time. I love the smooth silhouette they provide, and they are by far the most comfortable bra I have ever worn.

During the first part of the day, I wore jeans and a silver-gray tank from Chico’s (both old) and a cashmere cardigan from J.Jill last year. The sandals are by Sofft, and the bag is by Antonio Melani; both are from Dillard’s. I am showing you how I wore a minimal number of pieces during this series during our weekend get-away. Those items are shown again below.

We spent the afternoon in the Spa getting much-needed massages. Thankfully, no cameras are allowed!

Watch for the final post in this series tomorrow morning. There are too many pictures to add them all here.
