Ohhhh Friday thank you for arriving. Josh has had a trial this past week (next week in continues too) and it has made the week drag on and on and on with him being MIA. I don’t know how single mommas (or mom’s with husbands who travel a lot) do it. Makes me thankful that his work schedule is normally very family conducive.

Anyway, it is Friday. And there are a few kick ass sales going on.Ā DVF is offering 20% off purchases with code JANUARY20. This is the real deal because DVF’s collection this spring is KILL-ING it. Killing it. I literally have my eye on 6 dresses alone. And you know how she makes a great blouse. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites with most notably this dress and this dress toping my list. Remember to just use the little arrows to scroll over for me.

Last (and my favorite) sale is Les Nouvelles.Ā Here is where you can make a big impact on your spring wardrobe with key pieces that are unique and fun.

When shopping I’m always drawn to pieces that have big mix n match potential. You know, the kind of items that you can mindlessly come up with a ton of outfit options. Easy pieces. These are always my most favorite and loved items in my closet, like my denim shirt and my sweatshirt jacket.

 

Well here are 10 staple items that are totally versatile andĀ bonusĀ can all be mixed and matched with each other! So many possibilities.

stripe cotton shirt, paisley bikini,Ā ponytail holder

backpack, woven cord necklace,Ā leather trim tunic,Ā beau & ro belt bag

studded rubber sandals,Ā eyelit shorts, skinny sweatpant

 

Those adorableĀ rubber sandalsĀ are only $28 y’all and come in 7 different colors! There is also this super cute lips pair that I love. And I think you could wear that striped top all sprint and summer long. Would be perfect for casual days paired with J.Crew skinny sweatpants – I have the blue pair and wear them all the time.

I didn’t want to bring it up, and frankly hoped it would go away, but it shouldn’t go unaddressed because we just GOTTA talk about it ā€¦ This March the Bravo network is debuting a new reality show that is being filmed here in Charleston, SC called Southern Charm.

I’ve seen the trailer and it looks scandalous, scandalous, and more scandalous. I’m all for reality tv. But pretty much 99% of Charleston (myself included) hope that y’all will make smart enough assumptions to realize that this show doesn’t even remotely represent Charleston. Like, at all.

Now, that I’ve gotten that out there let’s hope it’s an interesting show. Read more about it here. What do y’all think??

Raise of hands, who stockpiles kantha quilts? I have 4 that are layed over chairs, tossed on ends of beds, cuddled up with on the sofa, and thrown in the golf cart on chilly mornings. They’re essentiallyā€¦ essential. There’s just something about that worn and not so precious, but authentically loved look to them that keeps me grabbing for more every time. Well now there are a whole slew of the prettiest ones I’ve ever seen up on One Kings Lane. RUN SUPER FAST.

Did I mention there are pillows, too? I know! Shop the whole collection here. Your home wants some color.

 

PS today I’m over at my friend Julia’s blog kicking off her new Q&A series!

Life lately has been full. Ā Here’s a snippet…

 

I’ve been secretly stashing new spring things. I’m most excited about using this LF citrus clutch and these LR sandals. Considering I dressed my model at the NYFW runway event with that clutch, I knew I had to have one for myself. And those sandals, well they’re going to be on my feet all spring and summer. So comfy with a little heel that doesn’t feel like it’s there at all.

Lilly and Fletcher lended themselves to Marysia Swim for her new Bumby swimsuits photoshoot. They were pretty adorable. More pictures coming soon.

I don’t even wear prescriptions but I’ve jumped on the Warby Parker train. These Greta sunnies have been glued to my face.

Like everywhere else, the weather here in Charleston has been crazy. It’s been warmer the last few days but we had a day of 22 degrees!! That doesn’t happen here. I’m afraid all my plants are dunzo. Anyway, it’s been a good excuse to wear my Jeffrey Campbell booties a lot.

I made a new favorite lunch discoveryā€¦ Chicken salad + mayo + red pepper jelly. It’s crazy good. Try it.

I pulled the trigger on this floral dress while at Hampden yesterday. Can’t wait to show y’all. It was one of those things that it just fit too well and felt too good. Plus I have something special to wear it to. That always helps, right?
