Pink on Pink








 entire rig (oldie but goodie, J.Crew--love the idea of pairing THESE with THIS POPOVER for a good print mix), watch (Cartier), cuff (unknown), ring (Lagos), bag (Furla, SPLURGE vs  STEAL), shades (Ray Ban)
This preppy & polished rig is the result of a successful attempt at utilizing what is already in my closet! I have had all of these pieces in my arsenal for a few years now but they definitely felt refreshed when doing a little monochrome print mix (hard to tell, but blouse has a slight pink pinstripe).  Because the all over pink could get a little pop tart, I wanted to make sure the look stayed classic by doing a crisp tucked in blouse, belt, flat sandals and a gold cuff to finish her off.  Just another lesson for us all (especially myself) to creatively work with what we already have....if only I could consistently practice what I preach!
Switching topics, I get asked quite a bit about my hair.  Who cuts it (Shawnee at Voce on Clay--LOVE ), what color do I use, how do I style it, etc.  With that in mind, I wanted to share a product I've been using here as of late that I'm just loving!  The Marco Anti-Frizz Leave in Conditioner with Collagen Color Guard has been my hair savior.  As my hair is getting longer, the months warmer, and my color blonder--my mop top can start to get a little dried out.  This goodness has been protecting the hell outta it and doing my locks just right.  Not to mention Marco himself is such a doll and a majorly talented color connoisseur (trying to justify in my mind taking a trip to LA to have him get a hold of my locks).  I know we're always looking for an easy solution whether it be for dried hair or skin, and this stuff is a goodin'. Alright guys, make it a good one & enjoy your weekend!

Scalloped





shorts (Lilly Pulitzer, Peppermint Palm, Lex KY), blouse (Jcrew), sweater (GAP), flats (Ann Taylor old), tote (World's Apart, Lex KY), necklace (Jcrew ON SALE!!), cuff (SABZ jewelry under $25!),  watch (Cartier), shades (Gucci)
A native Floridian not sporting Lilly Pulitzer??  Unheard of in my book!!  Thank heavens we Lexingtonians have the Peppermint Palm in our backyard to satisfy our Lilly cravings! Considering Lilly started it all   minutes from my hometown, I can't help but be transported to my childhood when sporting her fresh and fun frocks! And yes, we all know Lilly and Jack Rogers are a marriage made in classically prepster heaven; however, don't discount the adaptability of Lilly.  In my opinion, she looks just as darn cute paired with a little leopard, too!
