Spent approximately 70% of my waking hours this past week trying to frantically figure out house stuff and another 30% at work which left me with a full 10% for...wait...🤔 ah yes, a full 0% for anything else. 😜

Overall building a house has been a really amazing experience but here at the end when we’re fixing issues, dealing with delays, and figuring out whether we’re actually going to have a home to move into come closing date at our old house...it’s a leeeetle stressful. 😬

I AM super excited to be finalizing ethical + sustainable furniture and decor picks for our living room with @gratify_home!! If you’ve been following that design process, you’ll be excited to know we are approaching the finish line and should hopefully have a final product to show y’all soon! And, just as exciting, I am now working with Kelly to design my home office space as well! Eek!

So much exciting stuff on the way if we can just make it through the thick of it right now!

Cold, rainy fall has arrived here in NC today and I am NOT HERE FOR IT. May this photo stand in protest amidst the pumpkin patches and PSLs. 🌞 🌊

Please pardon our mess, we’re under construction

Please pardon our mess, we’re under construction! 🚧

Friends, you’re likely going to notice me being a good deal quieter around here the next few weeks! That’s partly because my real life isn’t nearly as thrilling and exciting as all the vacay content I’ve had to post recently 😜 but ALSO because I’m working my little tushy off cleaning my current house to sell and packing our stuff to move! As I sit here typing we currently have 5 suitcases strewn about our bedroom overflowing with dirty laundry, souvenirs, and travel sized bottles from our recent worldly adventures...a small taste of all the work we have to do! 😉 Send me all of your best moving, packing, and staging tips because ya girl clearly needs help! And pardon the mess, inconsistency, and/or silence here on the gram, know I’ll be back...we’re just quite literally under construction at the moment and SO excited to be near the grand finale! 🏠

The sun is setting on the most incredible two mont

The sun is setting on the most incredible two months of travel adventures for me and Wes. We are so grateful for the privileges of vacation time from work, financial resources to explore new places, our health during a time of true medical concern, and the beautiful earth and welcoming people who shared so much with us. 🌏 We have made so many incredible memories yet are also very excited to return home to NC, to our sweet doggo and four seasons and friends/family and comforts of being truly home.

I’ve been saying it for a while now, but I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE that a blog post on sustainable travel will be coming to Fairly Southern soon (or soon-ish...I do have quite a few bags to unpack and ya know, a house to pack up and sell). I don’t pretend to have all the answers on how to make travel truly carbon neutral, but I do take steps to reduce my impact environmental impact while traveling and am happy to share away! Stay tuned....

White pants after Labor Day, Y or N? Y’all can tell which camp I fall into!

Got excited when I looked at this photo and realized that without planning it, my entire outfit is either secondhand, fair trade, or made from recycled materials. #nailedit

And can I just say, I think Wes is also slaying in his new sustainable henley, made from recycled plastic bottles! (Whoever got it for him must be SUPER STYLISH AND AMAZING. 😉) Link in bio for the shirt company, Fair Harbor, which also makes amazing upcycled men’s swim!

Xoxo from your fave sustainably styled travelers, Laura & Wes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beyond excited to get to celebrate my best friend’s wedding today for so many reasons - because she’s amazing, because she has married a perfect person, and because this wedding finally got to happen and we got to be there. 😭😭 Love you to the moon and back @erintrahey and @seanbourelle!

I’ve officially moved in at Lallybroch, so I guess you could say this trip is going well and fulfilling all of my Outlander-inspired Scottish dreams. 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Y’all can now refer to me as Mrs. Fraser.

Don’t worry, I’ll keep Wes around too. I mean Claire had two husbands too, right?

Just for fun - which color of Hawaiian sand is you

Just for fun - which color of Hawaiian sand is your favorite? Traditional tan, red, or black?

Being a big fan of the Carolina coast, I am obviously partial to tan sand BUT that black sand though....

Does it blow your mind that all three of these photos were taken on the same small island? Ugh I miss Maui so much. We don’t deserve Hawaii, folks.
