It’s probably been years (or maybe never?) since I properly introduced myself here, so here’s a little bit of what you’ll see on this page if you are considering hopping on the ride. 🙃
The content here is a mix of style, home decor, travel, food, humor and attainable luxury in an approachable, realistic way. We’re all friends, right?

I’m Kathleen or Kat. I answer to either, no preference. Born in Nashville, raised in Mississippi (went to Ole Miss #HottyToddy), lived in Orange County and San Francisco, California until we moved to Georgia a few years ago. My husband (and college sweetheart) is @drchristianbrarnes and we have two sugar and spice-filled kids.

Prior to my website and social media life, I worked for Southern Living Magazine, BankPlus and Urban Decay Cosmetics HQ. Those were some of the BEST jobs and I’m so grateful for the many incredible women that I learned so, so much from.

Now I am a content creator and mom in Georgia, and I’m extremely grateful for this community that has provided me with a job (thank you!), friendships and endless creativity and fun. I hope you’ll stick around. Let’s kiki! 💃🏻🍸

A little recap of one of my favorite weeks of the year. ☺️ When I was a kid, we went to the Florida panhandle every single summer, sometimes twice a summer. I created so many core, beautiful, magical memories going to the same spots each year with my family. Because of that, it’s important to me to give that same nostalgia to my boys, and I think we have found our family summer spot. HHI, you were a dream. Until next year… 💙🌊🌴.

A few FAQ about our visit (or save this for your next stay!):

We rent in the Sea Pines neighborhood via @vrbo.

We rent bikes and bike accessories on the island from HHI Rentals for convenience. They even drop off and pick up at your house! 🙌🏼

We sailed with @cheerscharters.

Our beach picnic was from @boardandbaskethhi.

We loved the Sandbox Children’s Museum.

Also loved the Harbour Town playground + the Adventure playgrounds.

What am I missing!?

A few core memories from summer that I just want to live here forever. ☀️Happiness is… not spending so much time remembering the bumps in the road and just highlighting the smooth sailin’. Hindsight is 20/20, #amIrite?! 😜 Story of my life… but in a sweet, peaceful, warm and happy way. Tell me you understand my rambling?! // #hhi #summer2023 #cblbebe #cblbebe2

This @thesculptsociety girls trip was without a doubt a tip top highlight of summer. Combined with a small fam trip to the beach and slowing down to give myself a small reset before fall cranks up. 🧘🏻‍♀️ What was one of yours?! Will link this look on stories! ☀️☀️ // #lasventanasalparaiso #girlstrip #summerbucketlist #rwmemories

I was not surprised to see that we were not the only crew with a @shibumishade in Hilton Head, and now I can see why. It packs up so small, weighs less than 4 lbs, and takes less than 3 minutes to assemble... making life a LOT EASIER. 😅👏🏼 Tell me if you’ve tried it! // #shibumipartner #hhi #hiltonhead

I need another moment for this vest top that is just right. Believe it or not, I took this photo with a tripod while Barnez manhandled them kids. Despite waves, wind and Christian holding his breath... my phone did not fly off the boat. This time (the airpod and diamond earring did sink to the bottom of the pool but both appear to be in excellent condition to my shock!). 😉🌊🤞🏼⛵️

Before we hopped on bikes to catch the sunset at dinner. 🌊 Outfit details on CBL and in the LTK app - the dress is 20% off rn. 😉 TBH, I wish I had sized up one size but my usual size still fits… just snug!

Sunday scaries and manic Monday kind of head-butting each other like the ending we have here. 💀 My tolerance for being hit in the face or head even accidentally is zero. It’s zero.

A dinner date sitting at the bar and then live music. Feels like an old school date night so I pulled out an old school Kat kind of dress. Literally bought it on sale for $10, got so many compliments. As much as I love a fab, loose outfit, sometimes it’s nice to put on something a little more snug. 😉 Outfit details and more lil red dresses on LTK: https://liketk.it/4gQxy // #littlereddress #cblweeklyfits #ltksalealert

Snuck away for a few hours last night and finally got to take this lil dress for a spin. Ended the night with decaf, dessert, and pretending we were picking out our future house on the drive home. Since you know... there’s a 5% chance and one must be prepared.

POV - you met a cute and funny 19 y/o guy while volunteering at a retirement home in Oxford, Mississippi and now you’re feeding the children you had together on the beach in South Carolina. 😜🥰🌊 Thank you for helping us make these sweet memories @boardandbaskethhi. // #mamasboys #hhi #hiltonheadisland #lowcountrylife #boardandbaskethhi
