It’s freezing! Literally. The water fountain at work was even frozen this morning. It’s way too cold for my taste and I just want to wrap up in something nice and warm – preferably something other than a Snuggie. I think this cotton and cashmere sweater throw would be perfect. Nice and toasty yet still...

Mixing Patterns
It seems like almost everyone is ready for spring to arrive and along with that come the usual crop of bright colors, prints and floral patterns galore. The difference this time is mixing and matching two or three prints for an eclectic look that’s not too sailor-ish and nothing like your grandmother’s Sunday dress. It’s...

Chick-fil-a Day
My sister Jennifer and I spent the better part of the weekend in Atlanta after we went to a ceremony for her hubby Mike at Chik-fil-a’s corporate headquarters on Friday. He just finished a six-week training program and we celebrated his moving up the ranks. Congrats Mikey! He is officially a store operator now! It...

Linked on Polyvore – Jenny Humphrey
I just discovered the Aldo Mary Jane shoes I talked about here were part of a featured outfit on Polyvore.com. Very cool! I love those shoes and it looks like great minds think alike!

Romper Time?
Rompers are one of the cool, new shapes coming up for spring and are showing up in all sorts of colors, patterns and levels of dressiness. Some are more casual and perfect for a 30A beach day while others go from day to night with a switch of sandals to sky high heels or wedges....

Spring Buyer’s Guide
If you’re on the verge of spring fever like I am, the idea of putting on a fifth layer of clothing to brave the cold is far less appealing than stepping out in the hot sun wearing a fabulous warm-weather outfit. Style.com lists a few must-haves gathered from stores like Barney’s, Bergdorf, Net-a-porter and more....

Pretty Little Bottles
After finding my first perfume bottle at Scavengers back in January, I can now officially say I have a collection. The big clear bottle was the first find a year ago. My sister Jennifer gave me the fun pink one back in May when she got married and just gave me the sleek black bottle...

Sushimoto
It was Jenny’s birthday Monday at work and we went to Sushimoto in Miramar Beach for lunch to celebrate. This place has only been open a few months and I hadn’t been yet, but I will definitely be going back. We loved our food and the decor is very clean and relaxing. The bar chairs...

Lost in the Woods
Part of spending a lot of time with a good ol’ country boy seems to be spending a lot of time in the woods and doing outdoorsy things — stuff that was way out of my comfort zone. I don’t like bugs and snakes and flat shoes and sweating unless I’m working out. Even so,...

Weekend Breakfast of Champions
We went to Another Broken Egg Cafe in Grayton Beach again last week. The breakfast/brunch selection on 30A can sometimes seem limited, especially in the winter and especially when you just want the basics. This place tends to be a frequent stop for me and I don’t think you can go wrong with the classics....

Happy Friday!
What a gorgeous day today is, following yesterday’s wet and rainy mess. I’m so glad it’s Friday and I can’t wait to enjoy the weekend! TGIF!

Fabulous Rain Choos
It’s raining and it’s pouring here at the beach! We’ve got a torrential downpour on our hands, people. How in the world are you supposed to look cute and presentable when you’re soaked as soon as you leave the safety of your house or car? I’m not sure it’s really possible. My first step is...

Purple Boots Are Made for Walking….
Well, booties, to be exact. I love these suede purple booties added to a black and white outfit. They’re a fun kick of color and are actually really comfortable, too! The price tag is even better. I found these online awhile back in Lela Rose’s special line of shoes here. The “kids these days” like...

Bye-Bye Bottles
I’ve been doing a little house cleaning lately and trying to “streamline” my stuff. In other words, get rid of the junk and keep only the essentials. That’s much easier said than done. I tend to be what some people call a pack-rat, but what I would prefer to call a “saver of mementos”. I’m...

Golden Globes Dresses
Is it raining everywhere this weekend? I love watching the red carpet and seeing what the stars are wearing. They still look fabulous despite the weather. There’s no way my hair would maintain a hairstyle with rain pouring down like that. It would be puffy and curly in no time at all! As for the...
