The Right... Spring Chinos

    There's something about the South that just makes my heart so happy. I haven't spent a crazy amount of time down there but the times I've visited I've fallen completely in love.  Maybe it's the easier way of life, the insanely nice people who live there (seriously everyone is so genuinely nice!) or the food.  I recently went down to Atlanta, GA and Auburn, AL to visit friends and attend a wedding.  It was my first solo domestic trip and it was awesome.  I caught up with Tiffany at the cutest coffee shop in Buckhead (although my flight was delayed so our time was cut short and let me tell you, we could have talked for hours!), I got to see one of my sorority sisters and her husband and their amazing Alpharetta home (I swooned over every detail and was also completely overcome with joy at all of their accomplishments) and went on a little bit of a road trip to Auburn to watch my little {sorority} sister get married to her best friend at the most beautiful Baptist church.  Oh and I ate my weight in biscuits, gravy and grits and wasn't mad about it one bit.

This was my travel outfit for the first day of the trip. Two things about this outfit: I haven't owned a pair of chinos in years and it's amazing how if you stalk something (this top) long enough, you can get it for a pretty good price.  I bought these chinos last fall when I started adding more basics into my wardrobe and they're perfect for the rare casual Friday at work and weekend adventures.  And this top.  Well, we have a bit of a history.  I actually purchased it last December for a holiday party and when I didn't end up wearing it, I returned it because it was a little more than I wanted to spend on it at the time.  Fast forward to randomly clicking over to the Club Monaco website last month and it was on further sale so I bought it without thinking twice.  Oh and these shoes?  They are the perfect addition to my wardrobe for warmer months and ridiculously comfortable.  I highly suggest you pick up a pair (or enter Hush Puppies' giveaway because they're giving away a pair of shoes a day in April!).   Get the Look (I linked a bunch of white peplum tops in case the spaghetti straps aren't your style):

Burgundy + Chambray in Atlanta

It appears we have a faux leather theme going on so far this week!  I have to say, I am absolutely obsessed with this burgundy leather skirt from Massimo Dutti but at this point can't afford that price tag.  I stumbled across this beauty on sale at H&M and just couldn't say no!  I decided to take it to Atlanta with me the other weekend and wore it the day we went shopping for Toys for Tots.  I didn't want to look too dressed up so I paired it with my go-to chambray shirt.  I was also very impressed with these heels because I walked all of Toys R Us in them and my feet were good to go!

Shirt: J.Crew, Skirt: H&M (mini version here or longer pencil version here), Shoes: ShoeDazzle, Necklace: Stella & Dot, Purse: Rebecca Minkoff, Watch: Fossil

#SequinSeason in Atlanta

I wore this last weekend in Atlanta with Jessica for the Buick Pinboard to Dashboard event.  We went to dinner at the Empire State South where Top Chef Judge Hugh Acheson cooked us up some amazing southern food.  It was the first chance I'd had to wear my sequin skirt and I must say I'm obsessed!  Are you wearing any sequins this season?  If so make sure you upload a pic to Twitter/Instagram with the tag #SequinSeason to get involved in the holiday cheer!  Also, Jessica is putting up her favorite pictures on her Facebook page!

Blazer: H&M, Shirt & Skirt: Joe Fresh (other favorite sequin skirts here, here and here), Shoes: ShoeDazzle, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Necklace: Anthropologie

Travel Attire

Happy Monday!  I spent the last weekend traveling to Atlanta with Jess for a media event with Buick.  She was part of a blogger competition for the new Encore.  I'll have the full post on Wednesday but in the meantime here is what I wore for traveling on the plane!  I like to keep it comfy when traveling but I don't like to go as far as wearing sweats or tennis shoes.  Gotta keep it at little fashionable, right?  In comes the easy black ponte pants, flats and a scarf for a little added detail.  All these elements keep you comfy, looking stylish but not giving you a major headache going through security.  What is your favorite thing to wear while traveling?

Coat: SheInside (similar here or here), Pants: Uniqlo (similar here), Sweater: Gap, Shirt: Madewell, Scarf: Stella & Dot, Shoes: ShoeMint, Watch: Fossil, Bracelet: Sequin
