Picked up these sunflowers at the Green Door Market here in Castleberry Hills for .75 and turned them into a table top piece with beer bottles consumed via Hop City.

Today Savannah came into town to shoot for EBV, great pieces I must say,  will definitely share when they go up. We are also shooting tomorrow and hopefully mother nature will take mercy on our soles and release a cool breeze. highly unlikely. 

I live for this mustard beanie (duh, right?) and my new tri-blend Silence & Noise top purchased at UO! I can’t seem to take this comfy shirt off, wore it to The Real Chow Baby, a fantastic eatery that is a build your own stir fry restaurant and again to an informal photo shoot I have yet to mention-(later on that).  I love pieces that are flexible enough to be worn everywhere with anything-those are the best! What are some of y’alls favorite pieces that go with everything in your closet? another piece that goes with everything is clearly this purse I have on in every pic.

I have a crush on these spacey sleeves//

Now at Urban you can get their canvas tennies @ 2 pairs for $30.00-I stuck to one since I already have a black pair for the winter and went with these fun seersuckery numbers.

ugghhhh. This weekend just ended for me, entertaining guests this morning and afternoon until I bid them farewell back to Bamaland.  We had a fabulous weekend and even did a some shopping yesterday in Little Five Points and afterwards grabbing a drink and apps.  The gang and I pulled together and cooked many meals, as expected, which all were uber delish!! For now I’m chilling out enjoying the quiet and watching some TV via Hulu.

Ran to Urban some days ago and returned a pair of oxfords that I didn’t think was necessary and in turn left with three things at the same price; one of which was new stripped tennies! Anyways this what I wore, love this top I found at a boutique in Gulf Shores, Wild Flowers, several years ago and bring it out every year.

Yesterday was uber fun as we had friends from home come into town for a three day event, Dubocracy, which is a mini fest down the road featuring Dub Step tunes including White Noise from Tuscaloosa! We attended last night’s show which consisted of wicked light shows, a free stylin MC & lots of beats! We have all been kickin it around the house after venturing out to the farmer’s market in Decatur and stocking up for several feasts-two of which have already gone down.  I am definitely going back to visit that market, it really did blow our mind!

5 days and counting till the announcement of the Wildfox Couture Crop Top Give Away-be sure to enter in that post!!

Let the madness begin!

kept the Cardinal pillow after thinking about it, had the thing since junior year of high school and got a little sentimental. Overall I wasn’t bad about doing that and with a little help got pretty good at pricing-at first I was setting the standards too high, heheh.

just about every pair pictured was bought and the rest given away.

KJO scored this lovely Swish watch set from an Estate Sale down the road for $5.o0!

oh the possibilities!

CHEDDAR BABES//

early on it was very chilly-hints cardi and pants-but after the clouds dispersed we were screwed-hints the sunburned bodies for the next week.

DP’s Christmas gift from Mom.

This is how us Southernistas roll.

After a couple beers and baking in the sun I decided to play dress up towards the end of the day-included Grits cause I know she loves getting jazzed up.

End of Day One our loot was looking a little scarce but that didn’t stop us from having Day Two, I just didn’t snap any photos-just wanted to be done with it. 

Hope y’all enjoyed, I went to CVS and got a picture CD since I couldn’t wait for my camera’s USB cord to arrive-too excited to show off the yard sale pics!

Happy Friday-go out and enjoy yourself!

Before I knew it there were a couple “couple” photos on my desktop so I decided to post them all in one set, this first one is what started it all//
