Seersucker


Seersucker in the Summer is completely necessary in the South. It’s light and cool and requires no ironing. A simple fit and flare dress in the traditional white and blue seersucker fabric—No hassle, an instant outfit. 

OUTFIT One and done! One clothing item and your dressed and out the door. Love this classic dress with a high wedge and matching handbag.

Fit & Flare


I love wearing dresses in the Spring/Summer. It is so easy to just throw on a dress and feel instantly put together. My favorite is the fit and flare style. It is fitted at the top and flares out at the hips creating a flattering hourglass silhouette. 

OUTFIT This Crown & Ivy dress has a fun bold pattern that I love. The detail of black lining at the neckline and arms is repeated at the hemline. Looks great with black wedges. I’m ready in no time in this number.

Mother Knows Best


Happy Mother’s Day! What a special day to celebrate our Moms. It’s a warm gorgeous day to sit outside and enjoy the kids. So many blessings!

OUTFIT I just love these pants. The abstract flower print is so fun—the blue with splashes of orange really caught my eye. The jewel tone blue halter top has a floral panel inset that adds interest and carries the abstract pattern upwards. Strappy black wedges compliment the spaghetti straps in the top and look great for a Sunday afternoon.

Boho-Chic Wedges


Spring is in full swing and so am I in these Michael Kors wedges. Luxe leather straps and gold stud details on a high espadrille wedge give this shoe a luxurious feel.

OUTFIT These boho style wedges go beautifully with my classic preppy wardrobe. A simple striped tunic and black Bermuda shorts look chic with these shoes and matching bag in Michael Kors’s classic peanut color.

Mint Bridal Gown


My BFF, Kim, chose mint and coral as her wedding colors. I love my mint dress with black sash. It was very flattering on all the ladies. I will definitely be wearing this Vera Wang gown again & again.

OUTFIT The mint green color works beautiful with the soft ruffles that flow all the way to the floor. The dress flutters as you walk, making you look like you are walking on air. As a gift, Kim got us all pearl drop earrings that look fabulous with the dress.

Beautiful Bride


My best friend, Kimberley, was the most beautiful bride! Classy, Chic, Sexy, Sassy, Sophisticated... she encompassed it all as she walked down the aisle in this stunning white gown. Her gown is flowing with accordion ruffles and crystals that trim her veil and waistline. I’m so happy for her and Brian as they begin their life together as husband and wife.

OUTFIT Her dress is the Exclusive Inspired Grace Kelly Collection made in Hollywood, CA. The designers are Helen Rose (the designer that actually designed Grace Kelly’s bridal gown) and Edith Heard. The dress was inspired from the 1950’s in honor of the fashion icon and American actress Grace Kelly, who also married Prince Rainer III and she became the princess of Monaco.

Curls


My BFF’s wedding is tomorrow and as a treat, I am having her stylist do my hair. Pat Powell from Shear Experience in Montgomery did a beautiful job. My hair has never looked so cute. https://www.facebook.com/shearexp

OUTFIT A pampering day and a little window shopping to get ready for the wedding. A casual look is perfect in the wedding colors of course. A button down shirt is a must, so I don’t mess up my curls. Short and flip flops are quick & easy to change into my dress.
