The One That Got Away

While searching for white dresses to wear to a grad party of mine next week, I stumbled across this beauty from Anthro.


How gorgeous is this? Sadly they're sold out of almost every size, so I guess this is the one that got away!

Just Madras

Last weekend, I hosted a trunk show for Just Madras at my school's field day!

Thursday night I came home from spin class to some very nice packages on my front porch!

I spent Friday afternoon setting up,

and had a little creative block for displaying some ties, and ended up polishing silver at midnight Friday night!


I had SO much fun selling all day on Saturday!


I wore the Skipper Dress all day and I absolutely loved it - perfect dress for summer and grad parties!

Warby Parker

While I have 20/15 vision, I have to wear glasses whenever I work on the computer or look at screens for a really long time. I'm getting ready to go back to the optometrist and of course I want new glasses. So enter Warby Parker. They're basically like Toms for glasses, and they're all super cool.

I've narrowed it down to five pairs to try on, and I'll post pictures once I get them!






What do y'all think? Where do you get your glasses from?

J. Crew

Last weekend, I popped into J. Crew to try on a few things. While I only left with a new silk tank, I definitely have some things in mind to purchase in the next few weeks!

Ponte Swing Dress | Such a good fit and I love the color!

Liberty Stamp Mini | I didn't realize it came in a skirt pattern until I got home, and I love it more as a bottom than as a top!

Scattered Dot Shift Dress | Probably the only polka dots I would ever wear. Possible interview dress!

Scalloped Dress | Perfection in a dress. No words.

What are you loving a J. Crew this spring?

Kate Spade

So the other day I checked out Kate Spade's new arrivals. Bad move on my part.








As if their new arrivals weren't enough, their new line, Saturday debuts this month!

Tradesy

So as part of the great Spring Break of 2013, I have been cleaning out my closet and putting aside the clothes that I didn't wear a lot or didn't wear once during winter. I would normally consign them, but that means waiting until July, and I'm listing two coats, so they probably wouldn't sell as well. eBay is really overwhelming for me, so I turned to Tradesy.  

It's basically an online consignment shop but even better? It's free, it's simple, and they literally take care of everything for you - even cleaning up your photos! 

I'm excited to see how my items sell, and I'll also be listing them on Poshmark

Do you list your clothes online?

The Perfect Shorts

So it might be 36 degrees here in Virginia today, but since it's technically March, I am literally counting down the days until I can slip back into my favorite shorts!

I have a really hard time finding cute shorts to wear since 3" is a little too short for me and 5" can feel like bermuda shorts, but J. Crew's 4" is just right.


And the colors are too! I really want to add the royal blue and red to my collection this year, and especially the red to wear with my college tshirt!

Where are your favorite shorts from?

Lilly Pulitzer New Arrivals


Harwin Dress. I really wanted this as a graduation dress but the slit doesn't really scream 3pm day wear. Le sigh.



What were your favorites from the new line? I'm so ready for spring to get here!

A Hunter-ing We Will Go

With the amount of rain in Tuscaloosa in the past week, I realized it's probably wise of me to invest a good pair of wellies.

Of course I'm going to get Hunter's, but what color?!


Help!

the melissa

Last week I had a pretty crummy go of it, and I decided it was time I bought myself a little "i love me" gift. I've worked really hard these past few months, and I deserve something nice. So after a little lunch and shopping on Saturday, Mummy and I stopped by Nordstrom and I tried these on. 


it's love, y'all. but I can't quite seem to pull the trigger. I can already envision the outfits I'll wear them with, winter, spring, summer, and fall. They're beautiful.

I can't quite seem to pull the trigger, though. What are y'alls thoughts?

Just Madras

The other day, I was on the Just Madras website, and I wanted to show off their holiday silks! I am a brand ambassador for them, and am currently planning a trunk show for the spring!

I love their bow tie/cummerbund sets! They would be perfect for a black tie holiday gala!

Their bow ties are perfect for boyfriends, brothers, and dads!

This tunic would be perfect with a pair of black skinnies and TB flats!

Their cosmetic bags are perfect for holiday traveling, and it can even be monogrammed!

If you and your beau want to match for a holiday fête, this clutch would be lovely!

Lilly P: Resort 2013

There were a select few things that I truly liked for Resort 2013. The prints are great, but the items, not so much.

Look, Lilly. I love you, but I'm just not going to wear a jumpsuit. Just give me some shifts, and let's call it a day.

But things that are still good?

There will never be a time in my life when I don't love my Elsa's. They are the best.

Pool coverup by day, cocktail attire by night.

I may or may not be going down to the store tomorrow just to try these beauties on. Perf.

Absolutely love the print and the cut is darling!

What are your favorite Lilly items this season?

Dogwood Black

Remember that one time I posted about Southern Ties? (Almost exactly a year ago!) Well now they've rebranded, and I am oh so excited to share with y'all about it! 

"In physicality, the American South exists below the Mason-Dixon line; in mentality, the South resides in the head and the heart. This philosophy led to Southern Ties changing its operational name to Dogwood Black. The Dogwood is the state flower and tree of Virginia, the birthplace of our company. There is a saying here in Virginia: “Virginia is for lovers.” And if you love the South, you will love Dogwood Black. We aim to pay homage to both the Southern tradition and Southern ideology. Dogwood Black signifies that the South is still, and will continue to be, very much alive and kickin’."

The South is a state of mind. Not a state of mine. Dogwood Black.

Here are my picks:
You can build your own shirt on their website! How nifty is that? Words can't even do it justice...just go play around with it for yourself!


Swoon.


Obsessed.

And the best part of all? Everything is made in the Great U.S. of A. No joke. It's even printed on the tag of the shirt

Go check out dWb and tell 'em I sent you!

Speech Stylin'

My senior speech is two weeks away...eep! Naturally, I'm a tad bit more concerned about looking fabulous and kick-butt-esque, so I'm on the mad hunt for a great dress.

Here are my top contenders:
