Preppy Pink

I love color! Bright Hues, Primary, Pastels, Neon... how can I choose just one? Go with your gut. What do you love? What makes you happy? Preppy Pink!

OUTFIT For work just change out the white shorts for some white jeans and presto. Nude wedge sandals are like my pumps during the Summer. Casual yet office appropriate.

Swim Sale

Hit the pool in a classic black suit. Summer is not over yet and you can get some great deals on swimwear... 70% OFF or more right now. You still have the rest of the Summer to wear it, or save it for next year.

OUTFIT This looks like a one piece, but it’s actually two. Tankinis are great. Getting two pieces in the same color gives the illusion of a one piece. I like the halter top style because they tie, making them adjustable and comfortable.

Low Country

On my recent visit to South Alabama or Low Country, I was given this adorable short set by my mom who loves to shop thrift stores. It wasn’t free though, I had to work for it - hang out towels on the clothes line.

OUTFIT Handmade with frills and jumbo rick rack. I adore the colors & the pockets in the shorts. The crop top is too cute for Summer.

Go Green

Being Eco Friendly these days is smart. Dressing in green is smart too. Try a solid colored green coat or jacket, it is so much fun to wear in any season.

OUTFIT This black & white striped skirt looks great with a pop of color. A black shell and pumps and you are ready for another day at the office.

Striped Sweetheart

My best friend Kim, would say she’s the one who got me into fashion. And she’s right, we can “shop til we drop”. She’s always had great style and knows how to work it. She’s edgy and has fun with fashion, but also keeps it sweet—which reflects her personality. 

OUTFIT This maxi dress is right on trend with stripes. It has great details, like the solid blue on the shoulder where the stripes meet and larger stripes at the bottom. These details give the dress movement and a flow that keeps your eye moving. She’s added gold jewelry and sandals that set off the whole outfit. Fabulous Darling!

Chevron Dress

This chevron dress was made by my talented sister-in-law. You can totally wear this on game day or down at the beach. 

OUTFIT I love the ruffled detail at the neckline. So Couture Darling. The fabrics she used are fun and fashionable. You can add some serious wedge sandals or even flats/flip flops to finish the look.

Romper

Nothing says vacation quite like a chic romper. They keep you cool, comfortable, and cute. 

OUTFIT This solid silk black romper has style and sophistication. The silver military style buttons give it a little detail on the pockets and at the drawstring. Keep it simple with black flip flops and sunglasses, leave the jewelry at the hotel.

Prep Class

Preppy is my style. I love all American looks and designers like Ralph Lauren. Most of my closet reflects this preppy fashion with a southern twist.

OUTFIT This blue oxford button down is classic Ralph Lauren. I like the slim fit cut, it’s more tailored than the classic fit. This top looks crisp with white jeans and these aviator shades have loads of attitude.

Anchors Away

I got this anchor t-shirt while on vacation in Gulf Shores. It has a cool tribal pattern inside the anchor.

OUTFIT Neon is trending right now and what better time to wear it than Summer. I paired it with a black maxi skirt and a bling necklace - just incase the neon wasn't bright enough. Oh, and don't forget the details... I also painted my nails this neon orange-pink!

World Cup

I’m even getting into the World Cup and watching the final today between Argentina & Germany. GOAL!!!!!

Cover Up

Let’s face it ladies—half the time spent at the pool is in our cover-ups. So get a cute one that you like.

OUTFIT This black linen cover up has a gorgeous white embroidery detail that I love. It also has a rope tie at the waist—very Boho. You can wear this out to grab a bite to eat or strolling the shops down at the beach.

Polka Dot Bikini

Soak in the sun in a bikini this year. Hit the beach in a fun polka dot pattern. This print is huge right now, and black & white is classic.

OUTFIT This swimsuit is modest by bikini standards. The bottoms are vintage inspired that come up high on your waist and give plenty of coverage in the rear too. Cute little ties at the side are a nice detail. The halter top fits great and is super comfortable too.

Summer Style

This silk top has style. The keyhole sleeves and graduated stripes make it unique. It’s cool and breezy —making it perfect for Summer.

OUTFIT The bright blue color looks even more vibrant next to pink jeans. Layer on delicate gold necklaces for a soft feminine look.

High Contrast

Add some drama with a white necklace on a black top. The high contrast makes a big impact.

OUTFIT This white bobble necklaces looks great with white jeans. You could do any color top really. I choose black for maximum contrast.

BBQ Party

 

Family, Friends, Fireworks, Food and Fun. That's how we do the 4th of July. Grab and plate and celebrate! Wearing Red, White and Blue are a must for today. Stars & Stripes if you got 'em.

 

OUTFIT This red & navy striped dress is great for the 4th. Add a jean jacket and some wedges for an All American Girl look!

Yellow Rose

What is more lovely than seeing yellow flowers in your garden? Seeing them on your clothes! No green thumb required for this. I adore this watercolor yellow rose printed top. It’s fresh and simple. 

OUTFIT Keep it simple with a khaki skirt and wedges. No fuss for this beautiful garden look.

Keep Your Cool

The temperatures are rising and the days are long. Keep your cool at work with a crisp sleeveless white top. It’s a wardrobe staple. 

OUTFIT You can cinch a plain white top with a wide elastic belt for a polished look. A simple black pencil skirt and pumps are business professional. Looking great and staying cool.
