- Feb 11, 13Now I'm not saying this from the girl who is perpetually single aside from the sporadic lackluster boyfriend but does anyone actually like Valentine's Day? The pressure. The crowds. The tackiness.
So this random week in February that is an economic giant unto itself...keeping Hallmark alive in the first quarter.
Stay in, watch a movie, but be glam.
Be Glam ladies...go nude.

Today, we're blogging over at our friend Allie's blog, Sundresses and Smiles! We've been following this fun teacher for some time and were so happy to be able to share our style with her readers!
Elsie Top, $168 // Tortoise Choker Necklace, $68 // Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Affair, $495 // Sperry Bliss Flat, $98 // Ralph Lauren Earrings, $24 // Design Darling Bracelet, $58 // Velveteen Skinny Jeans, $68We're sharing our resolution of which we had quite a few this New Years (including drinking 8 glasses a day +
nail biting) but our big one was attending church more regularly.
Which we managed to do this Sunday! The priest asked us to pray for the Irish tonight--we had to tell him Roll Tide leaving mass.Anyone still keeping any of their resolutions? - Jan 06, 13Vestique Dress, $40 // Kodak Camera, $15 // Smathers & Branson Alabama Key Fob, $25 Elephant Earrings, $10// Durango Cowboy Boots, $115 // Danielle Crossbody Purse, $68
Gold Link Bracelet, $58 // Tortoise Cuff, $22 // Monogrammed Leather Flask, $58
For any of you lucky enough to find yourself in Miami, we are completely jealous. But for all you who will be cheering for the Tide on Monday night, hope this can be a bit of inspiration for wherever you find yourself tailgating.Vestique is a new brand actually sweeping North and South Carolina. I actually visited the Vestique store in Greenville today and it was completely amazing. 20% this weekend with great sweaters and sequined skirts. I picked up the dress ($40) in blue, just long enough for work when paired with leggings and boots. And this black sweater with leather details on the elbow.The Durango boots are also amazing. I've had mine since Freshman year at South Carolina. The flask and Kodak speak to themselves, can't have one without the other, and the lovely Design Darling provides the arm candy.So keep the southern hospitality alive wherever you may be cheering on the Tide, and stay stylish while doing it! And if you're not a Bama fan already, after this commercial there is no way you won't want to bleed Crimson... - Jan 06, 13Piperlime Mint Pave Earrings, $22 // J.Crew Enameled Frog Bracelet, $98 // The Lunch Clutch, $220 // Rebecca Minkoff Blazer, $368 // Nicholas Pumps, $249 // Elizabeth & James Dress, $118 // J.

I've often said if I had to wear one outfit for the rest of my life it would be a white V-neck tee, skinny dark denim and some amazing heels.
What would your Mayan 2012 outfit be?

Any shoes on your Christmas List? - Dec 14, 12
- Dec 13, 12Trying to stay warm these final weekends before traveling for Christmas?Ann Taylor & UGG are proving to provide the best ways yet. We love their shimmery collection - so perfect for the holiday.Hoping you get a chance with one of Design Darling's journals before the New Year...they're a perfect gift!
- Dec 12, 12We are so excited to see that the Tina Fey + Amy Poehler are going to be hosting the 70th Annual Golden Globes...because, we'll have a reason to stay tuned after the Red Carpet!So what would we wear to the Globes?Have you ever been to a red carpet event?
- Dec 13, 12Jacket: J. Crew, Sweater: Madewell, Shirt: Madewell (solid version here), Pants: J. Crew, Boots: Madewell, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ring: David Yurman, Bracelets: David Yurman, MadewellPastels are often reserved for the spring and summer, but I have to disagree. Winter is already dull and neutral as it is, so why deprive it of color? I love incorporating a pop of color into most outfits (if you didn't know that already). TGIF, if only Boy Meets World was still on... Well, hope you have a good weekend!

Crew, Boots: Madewell, Purse: Louis Vuitton, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ring: David Yurman, Bracelets: David Yurman, MadewellNew York City during the holiday season is probably one of my favorite places in the world. Not only are there amazing window displays at Saks and Bergdorfs, but there are also decorations everywhere you turn. Okay, so I might be one of those mushy people who starts listening to the holiday station on the radio the day after Thanksgiving, but who doesn't love a little holiday spirit? I took a LOT of pictures during my trip, so I will be sure to keep them coming. Have a good week!
- Nov 30, 12In a lot of fashion magazines and blogs I read, the emphasis in business casual is really on the 'casual'. In my office the emphasis is definitely on the business, so it can be difficult to incorporate trends into my work wardrobe. I am off to NYC this weekend, so I decided to give you a special recipe a la Sex and the City. The drink is the Purple Cosmo. What are your plans this weekend? Well, whatever they may be I hope you have a fabulous time!8 parts vodka6 parts white cranberry juice3 parts violet liqueur1 part lime juice
- Nov 28, 12We recently started using StyleUp which suggests a single outfit each day based on the weather and the style we typically need for work.Since the rain missed us, I opted for a variation of the outfit.Sidenote: I have not worn this blazer since I bought it so I like that StyleUp reminded me I had it!Shoes: Dolce Vita Bag: Rebecca MinkoffEssieWhere do you get your outfit ideas in a rush?
- Nov 28, 12Blazer: J. Crew (old), Shirt: Madewell (new print!), Chambray: Madewell, Jeans: Madewell, Boots: MadewellSo I am utterly, totally, and madly in love with these boots! They instantly give any outfit just the right amount of edge. Not only are the comfortable, but the leather is amazing. AND as if that is not enough, Madewell/J. Crew boots last forever. Obviously I am obsessed with a few stores, but I promise I will try to switch it up a little more next time. Happy Wednesday!
- Nov 28, 12As temperatures drop across the country, we know your looking for the same warm jacket to escape from the house and walk a beloved pup in. After racing through this month's Instyle and acting irrational throughout Cyber Monday, we wanted to share these gems with you.Each Christmas GAP ads are literally my Achilles heel-I love them every time, so when I saw these jackets being sported by Gia Coppola and a friend bear-hugging in a campaign titled Best Friend Love, yea, my heart melted little.GAP's older sister, more romantic, more glam.We love the Tartan.We don't want to tell you it was 1/2 off on Cyber Monday, but we can't tell you that it wasn't.An absolute steal from J.Crew Factory.
Where are you finding warm jackets this holiday season?

- Nov 21, 12Shirt: Madewell, Jacket: J. Crew, Jeans: J. Crew, Shoes: Madewell, Bracelet: David Yurman, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ring: David YurmanI don't know about you, but I love jeans Friday. I especially love jeans Friday when it comes on a Wednesday (thank you Thanksgiving!). Phillie decided to seriously photo-bomb just about every picture, but I can't say that I really mind. Hope you all have a nice holiday!
