Goodbye House

Yesterday, we closed on our house. We said goodbye to the home where we fell in love, our first house as a married couple, and the place of so many happy memories. After one last dance in our favorite room and a few tears, we signed the papers and said goodbye to a home filled with memories and love. 

Cheers to a fabulous start and a new adventure ahead! I'm toasting today in my Lilly - happy first day of Summer! 

Packing, Packing, Packing

Our house is closing tomorrow, so pardon the interruption in my regular posting during our move. Until then, I'm reading up on all the essentials to becoming a Southern belle.

Television Debut

I mentioned my television appearance last week, and we are live! I had a ball chatting about the blogging industry and its role in fashion today, the top 10 trends of Summer 2013, my own personal must-haves, and summer styling tips with my friend and the fabulous hostess of the segment. For those of you who would like a sneak peek, here is the link to our show: Fashion Forum (click watch now).

Teaser: look for some familiar faces as I chat about our North vs. South Style collaboration, showcase B Soup as the master of print mixing, and swoon over Atlantic-Pacific's pretty peplum! Thank you for giving me fabulous content to chat about, ladies! 

A Peek Into: My Wardrobing Room

We have been busy packing away, and this means packing up my closet...le sigh. Before it is empty, here is a peek into my girly mecca: my wardrobing room. 

Pale pink walls, French flair, a mirrored vanity, and a display of all of my favorite things, I'm going to miss this room down South. 

Happy Friday from beneath a mound of boxes... 

Fashionable TV

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have heard me hint about my upcoming television appearance. I'm all decked out and ready to go, because today is the big day! I'm being interviewed as the guest of honor on "Fashion Forum" on a local television station. 

Hair: check.

Makeup: check.

Dress: check.

Wish me luck! 

Perfect Pair

When I heard that Sarah Jessica Parker and Manolo Blahnik were teaming up, I let out a little squeal! If my years of Sex and the City watching have taught me anything, it's that this pair is a match made it heaven. I cannot wait to see what SJB and MB come up with...it's sure to be fabulous.

PS: As we're packing up our house, the only movie not trapped in a box bound with packing tape is Sex and the City...I may have watched it three times in the past few days.

Big Announcement, Y'all!

Drumroll please... I am thrilled to announce:

Many more details to come and more exciting announcements in the future, but we are packing up and heading to Hilton Head Island at the end of this month. We are beyond excited for this adventure, and I cannot wait to see the south with my mister! Lilly dresses, seersucker, and cute accents...I have a sneaky feeling we will adore it! 

Greece Reminiscing

This Friday, I'm leaving you with a peek into our trip to Greece...it was filled with delicious dining, taking in stunning views, exploring, and lots of beach lounging (and frolicking). Enjoy! 

Crete: 

Santorini:

Mykonos:

Athens:

Take me back...le sigh. Wishing you all a fabulous weekend! 

Lilly-isms

Today, I'm clicking my lime green heels together in hopes of transporting myself to the infamous Lilly Warehouse Sale... until then, I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from Lilly herself.

Are any of you attending the sale? Share your steals, pretty please! Here's to doing it our own way.

Summer Tweed

While perusing the new arrivals at Kate Spade (a favorite activity of mine), I was stopped dead in my tracks by this little tweed jacket. I took a moment to swoon over this matching purse and to zoom in on all the gorgeous details (you should too!). I realize tweed is typically considered a fall or winter fabric, but Kate shows us how to do summer tweed right.

What do you think? Can tweed work in warmer weather?
