Girl's Night Out

I wore this outfit a few weekends ago for a fun girls night out with some of my Junior League gal pals and it was perfect for the cool breezy evening. I love the bright colors (#bigsurprise) and was so excited to carry my new bow clutch! My mom got me this clutch for Christmas (#thanksmamma) and it coordinated perfectly with this look! Don't you just love it when an outfit falls into place? :) What's your favorite GNO look?

Keep it Southern, Keep it Classy

Hey y'all! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. Spring is turning out to be a crazy, busy time for me & preparing for the presidency next year (and all the retreats for my new leaders) is a pretty insane time commitment! So I took my day off to take lots of new blog photos (y'all are going to LOVE them!!) and catch up on my emails/planning for Junior League! Plus, one of my favorite gal pals, Stephanie, is coming into town this weekend to visit so I deep-cleaned my apartment in preparation! I'm so excited to see her and her adorable lil baby bump- she's the cutest mamma-to-be! Eek! 

And whether you worked or played yesterday, I hope that there was a little bit of relaxation thrown in. Speaking of relaxation, Jadelynn Brooke is becoming my absolute go-to brand for relaxing in! They are three adorable sisters based out of Texas who have created to perfect lifestyle brand for the modern, preppy, Southern girl (like moi! :) ) Think anchors, plaid, and a whole lot of pink- in one word… Perfection!

Oh Shift!

Y'all I can't resist a good pun, or anything pink & green, so put them both together and you know it was pretty much love at first sight with this sweater! I crack up every year when Lilly's site crashes during their twice yearly sales and you get the inevitable "oh shift! we broke the internet" message- so I love that they embraced the tongue-in-cheek on the front of this sweater! It sure makes winter so much brighter, doncha think?!

Printed Dress + Fur Vest

Happy Monday y'all! I'm sorry I kind-of dropped off the radar on all social media fronts the past few days. It was the Junior League's Whale of a Sale (our biggest fundraiser of the year) and I spent Thursday-Saturday volunteering all day and then Sunday recovering! It was a great weekend and a fabulous event- but I was spent from all that work! Huge congrats to the ladies of the committee on an amazing event!! 

Now onto today's look! I'd been on the hunt for the perfect fur vest all season, and when home for Christmas I stumbled across this one from Sophie and Trey- I just love this store! It was the perfect fit and exactly what I'd been looking for! I love pairing it with this dress for a fun look that would be perfect for drinks with the gals. If you're still looking for a fur vest- this one is still in stock!

Valentine's Lookbook: A Casual Date

Are you feeling all the love in the air friends?! I sure am, and I can say with full assurance that I loooove it! :) This has been such a fun week of styling for me! 

Today I'm giving you some ideas for what to wear on a casual "date" night (whether with your Valentine or your Galentines!) This look would be perfect for a movie, picnic, or cooking dinner at home. I think it's no surprise that it incorporates my all-time favorite Elsa-style top! If I could wear an Elsa top ever day I wouldn't be sad about it ;) These are the absolute best tops and I love that there are endless style possibilities- there is no wrong way to wear them!

Native Lands

I know that I've shared The Mint Julep Boutique with y'all before (and how much I adore them), and before Thanksgiving they offered 50% off the entire site, and this shopaholic couldn't resist that bait! I picked up two aztec cardigans that I'd been stalking in my wish list and I'm excited to share this one with you today! I had to wait to style them until Florida actually got the winter memo, but now that it's chilly I can justify sharing some sweaters ;) This cardigan is actually really thick (like I'm so toasty warm in it y'all!) but it makes for a perfect winter piece to bundle up in!

Also, I'm sorry that you've seen these pants about 10506735928 times- but if I could live in them I would! I even scooped up a second black pair during the After-Party Sale because I was so scared something would happen to my first pair! They are really that good!

Plaid Attitude

This season it seems like plaid is everywhere (especially on the ever-prevalent blanket scarf that has taken over instagram)! Well I love to put a twist on things, so when I saw this tunic I was all too excited to say "yes yes yes" to adding it to my closet! Although this is a classic plaid pattern, the playful ruffle collar and tunic length make this perfect for the office or a fun afternoon. And funny story… I wore this outfit to my Junior League Board of Directors Christmas party and my President showed up wearing the same thing! (#greatminds #twinning)

Holiday Buffalo Plaid

Y'all I am so in the holiday spirit these days I can barely stop my self from saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone I see!! I'm headed home to see my family today and Buddy and I are both doing a happy dance about it (he loves Christmas as much as his mama!) With so much going on, and so much cheer to spread, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. I wore this look recently and I feel in love with the subtle pattern mixing and the christmas-y feel of this vest! I have tons of ideas of how to remix it soon- but for now I'm going to enjoy how much I love this one! :)

Monogrammed Mania + Cyber Monday Sales Round-Up!

Whew! I don't know about y'all, but this weekend was a compete whirlwind between the Holiday festivities of Thanksgiving, the shopping deals on Black Friday, and one of the biggest rivalry games in college football: the Gators vs. Seminoles (#gogators)!

Luckily for me, although the weekend was crazy I spent it in the most comfortable outfit ever- this monogrammed tee from Marley Lilly! I believe wholeheartedly that fashion should be both cute and comfortable and this tee gives me the best of both worlds! Plus it's no secret that I want everything in my life monogrammed (#monogramaholic) :) If you've never ventured over to Marley Lilly, what are you waiting for?? They have the absolute best selection of monogrammed goods! And on a super-exciting note, the necklace I am wearing is FREE with a $50 purchase today for Cyber Monday! Yippee!!
