Friday Song-Happy Labor Day Weekend

Happy Friday and long weekend!  The song for this weekend is a little more chill and perfect for road trips-"Alone" Trampled by Turtles.  Get to groovin' on this Labor Day weekend y'all!

Polka Dots

Polka Dots are everywhere-what a great, yet classic look.  When I think of polka dots I think of my mom, my nana and of course Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-who could forget that dress?!?!?!?  Well here are two different ways to bring polka dots into your life.  JCrew has a flattering skirt-hello so over the pencil skirt, thank you for offering a skirt for the girls with hips ;) Kate Spade has gorgeous polka dot pumps that will make any outfit sassy!

The perfect Black Dress

I love Pink Peonies blog-I discovered from Pink Peonies James Pearce's black ruched t-shirt dress.  What a perfect comfortable, yet chic option that can go from day to night!  Very excited to check this out at Nordstrom this weekend!

Friday-Song of the Weekend

That's right-this is the song for the weekend!  Hey throw back...rockin' this song ALL weekend!  This is the perfect song to make yourself feel better when surrounded by frenemies...just saying ;)   

Hello Monogram!

I love my monogram-every Southern girl should love her monogram from bedding to necklaces, monograms are very on trend, yet classic!  When I saw these UGG boots at Neiman Marcus, I almost died!  My monogram on a cozy awesome UGG Boot?!?!  Yes, pretty please!!!!

Rock it out-

I love, love, love jeans-I live in them on the weekends and am very excited to add to my collection.  I found the perfect pair-7 for all mankind Roxanne Skinny!  Thanks to my fabulous brother, I will be the owner of a pair very soon!  Excited to rock them with heels and a cozy boyfriend sweater!

Oversized Sweaters

When it starts to drop below 90 degrees down South, we know fall is approaching!  For fall, I am obsessed with distressed jeans and oversize sweaters.  I think this trend is fresh and easy to do!  I found the perfect sweater from JCrew, absolutely love and can't wait to snuggle in to this cozy sweater y'all!

Violet Fatale

OK-anyone who has seen my purse knows I love Chanel lip gloss, but my love affair with lipstick must go to Tom Ford.  I love his lipstick, the creamy texture, long lasting, luscious colors make me swoon!  Violet Fatale was my first buy, it looks a little daunting in the picture, but on it's an awesome rich violet pink!  Trust me, the moment you put this on it makes you glamorous and fashion forward!  Check out all of Tom Ford's colors at Neiman Marcus....go smack those lips girlies!

The Schoolboy

I am loving blazers for this fall!  I especially like the JCrew Schoolboy blazer in navy, a classic color and great cut!  This will be complimenting my dresses as well as making a chic silhouette with jeans and heels!  Can't wait for some fall weather y'all!

PISTOL- a refined yet fiery woman

Sooo I love nail polish and clearly love all the new nail trends, reference the love nail!  My friend L.T. started an ahmazing new business and brand called Pistol-this brand is all about being a fiery, independent, awesome woman clearly like the CEO herself!  It is kind of like birch box, but better, you receive two full size nail polishes each month and it is all made and packaged in the USA-a big plus for me!  So check out her website and ask yourself if you are a pistol woman, I know I am!!!

Gentlemen of the Road

Who doesn't love a summer music festival?!?  It is simply a must do in the South and really everywhere!  Over the weekend I experienced the Gentlemen of the Road stopover in Bristol, TN-a fabulous experience full of amazing bands!  Below I have put together a mini play list-a sample of some artist you should check out....get to listening y'all!

-"I Will Wait" Mumford & Sons
-"Power Hungry Animals"  The Apache Relay
-"Go Slow"  Haim
-"Where the Black Lillies Grow"  The Black Lillies
-"Lost Kid"  The Apache Relay

Sparklessss!!!!!

So if you can't tell by now, I'm pretty much in love with things that sparkle, but then again what girl doesn't love a little sparkle?!?!?!?  I have been dying to have these gorgeous Kate Spade "Charm" shoes for over a year!  My wonderful mama bought them for me....they are now known as my Arizona shoes since Papa M went on a golf trip ;)  These shoes really put a pep in my step every time I wear them, whether to dress up jeans or complete a more dressy look!  Keep on sparkling y'all!

Ssssssssnake....it's in!

Everybody knows that I am OBSESSED with Tory Burch-my one true love for brands!!!!  When I saw these today, I fell in love!  The Eddie flat is a must have in any color, but especially in snake-a total fall trend!  These are on my wish list...hopefully y'all will see me in these this fall!

A vintage feel

I am obsessed with J Crew's vintage pajamas!  They are deliciously comfortable and yet chic looking-ahmazing for a lazy morning!  They have that mod Mad Men feeling about them!  Basically I'm in love and need to order more pairs!  Here's to relaxing this weekend y'all!

Chick Chick Chicken

Well I was almost slapped upside the head when my friends found out I didn't know what a chicken mini was-in my defense I am not a big breakfast person!  I have now tasted this amazing Southern delicacy from Chick-fil-A and will tell you it is knock down ahmazing!  So if you haven't tasted one, go on and get yourself a chicken mini y'all!

Get Nautical

I am obsessed with Kiel James Patrick nautical bracelets!!!  Seen above is the Triton Knot Bracelet.  Whether you're sailing the high seas, hanging at the beach or just playing around with a nautical look, these will compliment any look!  See y'all at the beach!

Garden and Gun

Everyone knows I am obsessed with magazines!  My new fave treasure is Garden and Gun, a magazine that celebrates the soul of the South!  It is a magazine that I read from cover to cover every time.  It has great tidbits on the people, food, places and history of the South, and is a MUST read!  So get to reading y'all!

Just Dance!

Happy Friday darlin!  I am heading to the beach and look forward to having a dance party on the back deck...so wherever you are today, take a moment to enjoy the moment and maybe dance a little!  

Bourbon and Boots

Well I just had to share this little gem of a website with y'all!  It's called Bourbon and Boots, they have authentic Southern gifts, stories and style.  The name alone should get you excited as no get out!  I purchased this necklace from them-because honestly who doesn't love a little Johnny Cash, the man in black?!?!?!

Lipstick...Loves!

One of the best things that has ever happened to women is the discovery of lipstick!  I remember as a little girl trying on my mom's Clinique hot pink lipstick and especially getting excited for dance recitals when I sported the hot pink lips on stage!

Lipstick just lifts you up, it gives you that pep in your step, it completes your entire look.  So, naturally I was super excited when Chanel came out with Magnolia, a pink shade of the Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme lip color.  Because every Sweet Magnolia Southern girl knows she doesn't leave the house without a little color on her lips!
