girls will be boys

goodmorning everyone! it has been one chilly week so far...don't let these pictures fool you, i was freezing when i took them! this fall and wintery weather has come upon us georgians with full force, and i'm shocked i'm even saying this but it's a refreshing contrast from our muggy, and hot summers. 

today i'm mixing up my wardrobe to concentrate on a laid back chic look. i love how johnny depp's strange fashion choices have made a quirky fashion trend for this past summer and fall. if you want to add a bit of edge or flair to a laid down look, a casual and cozy flannel will do the trick... as well as help keep you warm, along with a cup of coffee :)

i hope you all have had great weeks! we're busy little bees at work getting ready for the holiday season! 

xo,

goodmorning everyone! 

as our weeks start yet again with a beautiful, and sunny day, i caught myself reminiscing...

when i was a little girl my mom or dad would always tuck me into bed, and often times would lay down with me while i feel asleep. my mom would scratch my back as i drifted off into dream land but my father, the big strong man that he was would just hold on to me as tight as he could. i would fall asleep literally in a bear hug, and it was always the safest i would ever feel. my father just had a way of protecting me, and a safety in his presence and his voice that i will always miss. today i am cloaked in his love, wearing a sweater i remember him always having, and feeling safe, loved, and... hugged.

happy monday and veterans day, may God bless you as you venture out today.

xo,

A

3 Ways to Wear:: Your favorite White V-Neck

Happy Saturday everyone! 

Today I am happy to share with you all my first "3 Ways to Wear" post! Everyone has those basic gems in their closet, and so today I'm hoping to inspire you to incorporate this Fall's trends in with your favorite basics! 

The topic of today: Your favorite White V-Neck. I know this almost seems too simple... but that's because it really is! A white v-neck, or a white shirt of any kind, serves as a blank slate for your wardrobe and gives the wearer flexibility within their closet to pair and mix and match. My favorite white v-neck is my super-soft, all cotton shirt from Pink by Victoria's Secret. 

I've worn it to sleep, to exercise, for date nights, and to class...the sky's the limit!

The first look is for a Day on Campus, the middle look is for a Sunday Brunch, 

and the final look is for Dinner and a Movie Date.

All of the styles are so different and yet they are all styled around a basic V.

Now tell me your favorite way to wear your white V-Neck, 

do you style it from day to night? What brand is your favorite?

The Day After Tomorrow

As the weather has gotten colder my motivation has started to wear a little thin, however the dreariness of today inspired me to admire the eerie beauty of chilly winter that is starting in Athens.  This week as the final projects commence I plan to stay motivated, as my grades cannot afford for me not to be! I enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving back in Savannah this past week though, wonderful time with friends, family, and had the chance to make new friends.  The small town closeness and familiarity is always comforting to fall back into, and as always fabulous to hear about all the gossip. But here is my blog toast to the winter months before us, and to the wonderful fashion and beauty that always surrounds us.

xo darlings,
