The Mashup

look 1:  jacket (Gap, love this Blk/White Version), blouse (Joie), jeans (dl1961), flats (Jeffrey Campbell dig this pair), crossbody (Elaine Turner c/o), shades (Ray Ban), cuff (unknown), watch (Cartier), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

look 2:  sweatshirt (Thread Social), shorts (Asos, sold out), chambray (J.Crew 25% off with code SHOPNOW), bag (Linea Pelle c/o), flats (Ann Taylor old, want THESE), bangles (Bourbon & Boweties c/o Adele of Lexington), shades (Gucci)

look 3:  sweater (J.Crew--ADORE this baseball version 25% off), jeans (7FAM), heels (Pour La Victoire), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors)

Just a little fashion mashup of some easy casual looks--nothing terribly fancy--which is what I like about them.  With the exception of the navy Joie Lace Top, the majority of these looks are using items already in the closet (ie:  Striped Jacket, Striped Shorts, & White Jeans).  Oh and if you haven't already guessed, I'm one of those who believe you absolutely can wear white after Labor Day (it's the Floridian in me)---just remember to mix fall/wintry textures in with the whites!  Alright gang, cheers to a fab week--make it a good one!

Nip & Tuck

aprons, linens, white dress, tablescape, table cloths all c/o POMEGRANATE

Fresh. Clean. Girly. Airy. Minimal.  All adjectives I told Ashlyn when describing the look I wanted the new s + s to have---with a side of quirk of course (enter dalmatian print).  No doubt the gal delivered---I'm so very pleased s + s' face lift!  I hope y'all are, too!  I would highly recommend Ashlyn as she just 'gets it.'  Thanks again, dear, so very happy with the end result!

But for you all, onto the more important stuff---this fab giveaway we've got going on today from Pomegranate.  

I truly cannot begin to tell you how insanely gorgeous the location of this photo shoot for Pomegranate was.  Gainesway Farm is equestrian elegance at its finest.  Add the main house which truly is the embodiment of Palm Beach rustic glamour (my fave)--I mean, I'd live in the pool house for pete's sake it is that darn lovely!  Top it off with the fabulously fun gals from Pomegranate and the ever so talented Molly from P Funk Studios and us gals had a great friggin' time indeed!  So in celebration of Pomegranate's Fall Product Launch, we're gonna treat y'all to an apron & tablecloth of your choice---I kinda love all of them and have a feeling you all will, too---be sure to check them out HERE and enter below.  Alright gang, make it a good one---we've got a GORG weekend ahead of us filled with horsey racing and UK football!

So Super

look 1:  shoes (Superga x ManRepeller), tshirt (Adidas), vest (J.Crew), pants (J.Crew, been wearing THESE nonstop), cuff (unknown), bag (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), shades (Ray Ban), watch (Tag)

look 2:  dress (Asos ON SALE), jacket (HM, love this CAMO VERSION), watch (Cartier)

look 3:  tee (Gap), jeans (Current Elliot), sweater (HM c/o see Similar)

A friend of mine was adamant about me snagging these killer SNEAKS while shopping in NYC.  At first I wasn't sure if they'd be put to good use, but seriously, I've sported these suckers relentlessly since purchasing.  I've even started to wear them out in the evenings for dinner with the girls (see HERE).  Again, I'm a huge advocate of snagging items that can be versatile and worn in a multitude of ways.  These guys definitely fit the bill!  Y'all make it a good one!

Keeping it Classic

 

blouse (J.Crew), jeans (AG Jeans), loafers (C.Wonder), belt (C.Wonder), bag (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), watch (Michael Kors), cuff (unknown), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

It goes without saying that I love a good dose of color and print.  It suits my personality and I just always tend to gravitate towards a more vibrant look.  With that being said, I also love a classic look consisting of  White  & Black--it screams polished and crisp.  Toss on a little dose of Monogramming and I'm a pretty happy gal in this rig.  

Lexingtonians with little ones (or nieces, nephs, etc), you must swing by AJs Casuals today or tomorrow for their Oscar de la Renta Childrenswear Trunkshow.  Going on today, 10/7, from 9-4 and tomorrow, 10/8, from 9-1.  The pieces are to die for---seriously beyond precious.  Let the lovely ladies at AJs know that s + s sent ya!  Alright gang, make it a good one!

All Cinched Up

dress (HM Similar c/o), belt (ADA, purchased at Thread), vest (J.Crew), sandals (Loeffler Randall), clutch (JJ Winters), ring (Kendra Scott, Lagos), shades (Gucci), watch (Cartier), cuff (unknown)

I cannot tell you how many times I've worn this little number---once being on a fabulous night out in NYC (sans the vest).  It's terribly easy, breezy, and the draping on the sides & back give it a little zing.  I'm thinking once it gets a little chillier I can toss on a Leather Jacket.  Hope y'all are having a fantastic week thus far---cheers to a lovely Thursday--thanks for swinging on by!
