The 5th Annual 30A Wine Festival was this past weekend at Alys Beach. It was a fabulous weekend filled with wine, food, trunk shows, shopping, croquet, fashion and beautiful people. This is always one of my most favorite events of the season. The 30A Wine Festival benefits Children's Volunteer Health Network (CVHN), which makes it that much sweeter to support this wonderful local event. I wanted to share several of the highlights of my wine & fashion filled weekend! Enjoy!

All of my apparel and jewelry during the weekend is from the Alys Shoppe.
I kicked off the long weekend at the Sip n' Shop at the Alys Shoppe in Alys Beach.
Jami Ray of 30A Street Style stopped by also!
On Friday, I attended the Good Grit Magazine, Shalla Wista & Coastal Road trunk shows at the Alys Shoppe, featuring Miner Family Winery. Needless to say, it was a fun evening!
Dying over the new Marbled leather collection by Coastal Road. The new leather is available in 2 colors (Jade green and Grey) and in the zipper clutch, wristlet wallet, Amalfi tote and the NEW Crossbody design with chain strap (my fav). For pre-orders, call the Alys Shoppe or email info@coastalroad.net.

After the trunk shows, John and I headed over to Bourbon, Beer and Butts at the Kelly Green in Alys Beach. We enjoyed live music, lots of yummy food... and obviously beer and bourbon!

On Saturday afternoon, I had the privilege to help customers shop at the Alys Shoppe and find some amazing new pieces for the Wine Festival weekend and for spring! I had such a fabulous day filled with styling -- my fav!
Helping a customer find something new. Yes, the shop has beautiful men's wear along with women's apparel too!
The Alys Shoppe has something for everyone. Men's and Women's apparel & shoes, beautiful home goods & accessories, Turkish Towels, beach hats, Swell bottles, gifts & more....
After a busy day of styling at the Alys Shoppe, I headed over to the Kelly Green in Alys Beach for the Grand Tasting.... and I found my sweet friend, Caleigh! She was celebrating a big birthday -- so we had to do a toast!! More than 80 wines were showcased and delicious small bites for all to enjoy!
So many delicious choices...
Found my stylish, local friends - Stephanie and Brooke. The Grand Tasting was super fun!
Very stylish, Hannah Billingsley playing in the croquet tournament.
Lastly, the Rose & Croquet event was on Sunday afternoon. This is truly a classic event that is always chic & stylish. Everyone wore shades of white and enjoyed a boozy brunch with chicken biscuits & duck hash with beautiful Rose, champagne cocktails and Bloody Marys. The Croquet tournament is the highlight of the afternoon. It's definitely the place to see and be seen. I loved taking in the sun, delicious cocktails and fashion!

This photo captures the end of a fabulous wine weekend event at the 30A Wine Festival, in one of the most beautiful, chic places on earth, Alys Beach (in my opinion). I feel very blessed to live so near to such an amazing, unique, generous community.
