Savannah: Day Out

After hell and back with finals and family issues, my gentleman caller and I decided to take a weekend trip to Savannah, GA. It's supposed to be one of the best places you can go in the south, and although I live in Georgia, I'd never been. 

We stayed in a really nice hotel about 20 minutes from historic downtown and a few exits from Tybee Island, although we never made it to the beach. It was too cold for that anyway. I had a hard time packing simply because it was so chilly. 

Regardless of the weather, I still enjoyed myself. Downtown historic Savannah was so nice. It had the diversified set up of Manhattan, but still retained it's southern charm. Every style of restaurant you could want, specialty shops and even a Marc by Marc Jacobs store.
My Outfit:

Savannah Candy Kitchen
The biggest candy store I've ever seen. Three separate sections, all filled with sweets. Pralines, Ice Cream, Caramel Corn, Taffy, Gumballs. It was a little kids dream. 
Gelato in every flavor you could think of. I wanted some, but it was too cold. - Savannah Candy Kitchen
This was a licorice lover's heaven. I had peach, watermelon, grape & green apple. - Savannah Candy Kitchen

Food
Like I said, Savannah had so many options for food. All more delicious than the other.
BBQ Chicken Flatbread - Sam Sneads Oak Bar & Grill
The most delicious crab chowder in the world. I want vats of this for my fridge.
I just thought this was the funniest name for a bar. "Let's all go to Wet Willie's!"

Militant Warmth

Finally, I've got myself a new winter coat. After years of the same old peacoat, I've embraced a wool, double-breasted, military jacket. It's warm, it's cute and it was affordable. From a store in my local mall that I never ever go in, I found this gem for 27.99. I know! The store is usually stocked with clubbing dresses, but this coat...I must've gotten lucky. 
I love the button detailing on it. The fit is a little big, but with my layers underneath, it'll be fine. 
The same day, I also bought these baubles. I'm a ring addict. The more intricate, the better. I don't even have to describe why I loved these, just look at them. Not to mention, in total, they were only 16 dollars.
