southern curls and pearls











TGIF! We made it to Friday and that's always reason to celebrate, haha.  Today I'm also celebrating some of my favorite fellow blogger babes and their incredible sense of style, beautiful families and brilliant passion for what they do.  Not only are these girls pretty in their pictures, they're also lovely in real life.  I've had the pleasure to meet up with almost all of them different industry events and can tell you they are just as sweet in person.  

Caitlin Covington is the definition of a southern belle.  If you've never seen her blog, Southern Curls and Pearls add it to your list now.  She and her hubby are the most adorable newlyweds and their cute pup Winnie  is absolutely darling.  She's definitely one to follow if you love southern style and have a   case of wanderlust.

Rach Parcell was the first blogger I ever followed and one of the reasons I was inspired to begin blogging myself.  Her uber feminine site, Pink Peonies, is not only gorgeous but the place I always go to when I want to be inspired.  Rachel started her blog like many of us do, as a way to express her creativity and love of fashion.  Since then she has gone on to create her own clothing line and see her childhood dreams come true.  I'm so inspired by her entrepreneurial achievements and the way she balances them so beautifully with being a loving wife and mother.

Kat Tanita and I met years ago in NYC and I was instantly taken by her candid nature and beautiful spirit.  She's definitely the type of person who you feel like you've known forever and who you can relate to instantly.  Kat is a free spirit and she writes each day from the heart.  I've loved following her journey from NYC to L.A. over on her blog, With Love From Kat and the heartfelt honesty she always portrays.  Her style is elegant and fresh and depicts that of a glamour girl wise beyond her years.


Mara Ferreira is to me today's Dorothy from Oz.  Homegrown, genuinely caring and always kind...Miss Mara is a sweet source of all the wonderful things life can be.  She began her blog M Loves M when it was just her and her husband Matthew.  Since then their journey has led them to become the parents of two angelic children to which she is a fabulous mama!  Her blog is done to earth and features an ethereal feel of Boho chic.  Mara is a sweetheart and I'm so happy of her success on all levels!

Finally, there are Meggan and Brooke from the style guide, Somewhere, Lately.  While I've never met  either of these two ladies, I can bet we'd become fast friends.  With Brooke blogging from New York and Meggan from Texas these two come together seamlessly to share their style savvy and fashion finds.  I love how they are the epitome of the everygirl and show that while the struggle is real so are they.  Personal passion trumps trials and tribulations.

If you follow any of these blogs then you know what I mean.  If not, definitely head on over to check out each one.  You won't be disappointed.  Thank you to each of these incredible ladies.  While of course your beauty and style shines on the outside, it pales in comparison to the beauty within.  Love you all!!

It's Monday, who needs some inspo?  That's one of (the many) things I love about fashion, it never leaves you at a loss for inspo.  Today I'm inspired by what's now become a cool weather classic, the boyfriend cardi.  I love the ease and complete versatility of this piece and these looks are the perfect proof of all the wonderful ways to wear it.  From denim cutoffs and the perfect tee to a silk cami and your favorite statement heels, this piece can work it.  I also love how it is the just right transitional item right now.  They're out there now in all weights and fabric (not to mention colors too!)  I've linked my current faves below along with some great shoes and bags (like this one on SALE!).  Hope you're having a great Monday everyone!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a lovely weekend…Ours was snow-covered then sunny, the perfect wintertime combination.  Whenever it's cold and blustery, I love to reach for a favorite cozy scarf.  Oversized and oh so soft, the scarf is possibly the most versatile, hardworking piece in any wardrobe.  The Zara plaid blanket scarf seems to have become the iconic must-have of the season and sold out everywhere. This similar option is the one I own and I love it.  It works with neutrals as well as prints (like this herringbone puffer vest).  I'm also adoring this window pane check style one because of its bold statement appeal.  I'd definitely pair it easily with cherry red, black, ivory or the chicest navy.  Houndstooth checks are perfect for now and into late winter, early spring.  They have the ease and ability to play up an all black look and then turn around and complement soft creams and blush pinks and grays late season.  The ways to wear your favorite scarf are as varied as the pattern choices.  I love wearing the soft falling triangle fold.  The way it drapes the neckline is freshly flattering.  For tips and how-tos on the many ways to tie one on be sure to take a peek at this fabulous tutorial here.  

Hope your week is filled with wonderful moments…P.S. Stay tuned for some great Valentine's Day gift ideas for him and her wish list craves too coming soon!
