Gold Pumps Under $100

Okay, I lied. They’re not all under $100, but seven out of eight isn’t bad. My obsession with gold continues as I’ve been searching for the perfect metallic pump. While I’ve been leaning toward yellow gold in other things like jewelry and decor, I kind of like the silvery shade of the ones toward the...

Emery Style: Cobalt Blue + Military Jacket

These days, getting Emery dressed has been a challenge. It isn’t our differing opinion that adds minutes to the morning routine (at least not yet!), it is the freezing cold, arctic front that has turned our mild Florida winter into something of a tundra. Luckily, layers are our friend and we’ve been piling them on....

2014 Printable Calendars

Okay, so when it comes to calendars and organization for the new year, maybe I’m a little late to the party, but as they say, it’s better to arrive late than to be ugly. (Someone says that, I’m sure). I have been using my lovely Emily Ley Simplified Planner for the first two weeks and...

Emery Style: Orange Floral

Does anyone else actually sit down to eat breakfast on a weekday or is it just our family that runs out the door with a waffle, banana or granola bar in hand? In order to snooze the alarm until the last minute, we save time by laying out an outfit the night before. This is...

Golden Globes

The only thing better than a street style sidewalk of fabulous fashion is a red carpet full of glowing celebrities. Awards season means we get to “Ooh!” and “Ahh!” over fashion, beauty and plenty of A-list sparkle. This year’s Golden Globes included classic champagne-colored dresses with beads, sequins and satin (naturally), a return of black...

Kid Fashion: Valentine’s Day

It’s never too early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day. The holiday is just too lovely to put off. Shopping for Emery’s clothing and accessories is as much or more fun than shopping for my own. There are so many cute things in store these days, especially for a holiday as girly and adorable as...

Winter Brights

Just because the temperatures have gone down, then up, then way back down again, doesn’t mean our style has to consist of boring layers that are purely functional. We love a good pop of color any day and winter time is no exception. Throw on a bold jacket, a neon pair of heels or add...

Coastal Glam Decor Inspiration

I came across a House Beautiful article the other day titled “14 Signs You Decorate Like You Live in Beverly Hills.”  First I thought, who doesn’t want to be surrounded by glitz and glam, feeling like a pampered A-lister? I’ll take that any day. Second, I started thinking about how my style has evolved over the years....

Style Guide: 30A Songwriters Festival

Hushed crowds, acoustic songs and talented songwriters mere feet from our heels. Mix in 20ish intimate beachside venues with 150 artists over a three-day weekend in South Walton and the result is 30A Songwriters Festival. Now in its fifth year, this festival is pure magic with a full-on music buzz. We’re already getting our game...

My Grandmother – A True Southern Belle

My grandmother was always so chic. She wouldn’t dare be caught outside the house without heels on. Wish I had more of her fabulous wardrobe and easy sophistication. I hope Emery has as many amazing memories with my parents and Hunter’s parents as I did with my grandmother. This is one of my favorite pictures...

Emery Style: Sparkles + Leopard

Sparkles, leopard and a bunny backpack. I definitely take full advantage of being able to help Emery pick out her clothes each morning (while it lasts!), but lately she takes full charge in choosing her accessories. Those outfit extras range from a necklace or purse to a bow or headband to which doll or animal...

Casual Luxury: Sequin Tops Under $50

Though holiday celebrations and new year’s toasts are wrapped, I can’t seem to get enough sequins and sparkle. I love the idea of jazzing up everyday casual styles with a little bling so I’ve been searching for another sequin top that I can dress up or down. The ideal top is one that could be...

New Year’s Day Soufflé

We Southerners are full of tradition (and a little superstition) with New Year’s Day being no different. As long as I can remember, we’ve had a specific menu to eat on the first day of the new year, almost a checklist to go by. Our plates were always full of ham, black eyed peas, rice,...
