ONE. Newness from Shopbop

All new arrivals from Shopbop for spring have me jumping for joy… from swim to statement bags and sandals, bring on the warm weather finds!!! Rounding up a few favorites [all of which are budget friendly and under $100] and dreaming of some upcoming destinations in my future:

1| Emin Top [only $50] 2| Trishi Earrings 3| El Pablo Tote 4| Reverie Dress [just $60] 5| Eyelet Dress 6| Lampshade Hat 7|  Jill Espadrille Wedges [only $82] 8| Kandy Gram Sunglasses 9|Tie Back Mini Dress

TWO. Southern Polished

A few weeks ago, I stopped into one of our local Brentwood shops, Southern Polished, to learn a bit more behind the family-run business, owned and operated by a father and his two sons! Most notably, I’ve always known them as our go-to shoe repair shop, but within the past year, they’ve grown into an all new market and have created their original line of sandals, so I couldn’t wait to get on here and brag about their superior design and color options and share an exclusive discount just for my friends!

It’s rich in southern tradition–with a devoted appreciation for amazing style and detail-oriented craftsmanship. The father retired and the sons left their corporate world careers to join together for one amazing enterprise and Southern Polished was created in 2012. Their emblem, a thoroughbred horse, was chosen due to their southern heritage, commitment to quality, and the timeless styling of every sandal they make…every single pair is hand and machine stitched!

They offer a ton of styles, colors, textures for men and women and for all you SEC-school lovers, they can create custom sandals for gameday to make sure you stand out in the crowd! I grabbed the Biloxi Style for myself and then gifted Jeff the Classic Bridle for his birthday.

Ready to grab some for yourself?? Use code SANDALS10 for 10% off your order + free shipping, or stop into the store if you’re local and they will take care of you! 

THREE. Ulta Days of Beauty

Ulta hosts a 21 days of beauty sale twice a year and it’s a time I get excited to see what new brands/goodies I can sample for a fraction of the normal retail price! Here’s the spring lineup so take note and grab some soon-to-be favorites before the deals are done. And the next few days of fun are featured below so don’t miss out:

FOUR. Spring Dress Obsessed

I’ve got everything flowy, embroidered, colorful and fun on the brain and these amazing deals are topping the list of favorites this season…

Black and Red Embroidered Dress | Gorgeous Detail and Only $24 [wearing a small for reference]

FIVE. Two Days and Counting

Can you tell I am ITCHING for the beach?? Two days and then we will officially be in vacation mode… surf, sand, sun and fun with my babies and the boy AND the forecast is looking beautiful!!! Can’t wait to share Rosemary Beach with all of you again! Be looking for us to pop-up on their Instagram account for all the play-by-play and of course we’ll be capturing all the family fun with our favorite photographer Amy Riley, too!

    Love that Half Moon dress, so pretty.

    I wanted to know where I can purchase a vintage chalk board easel like yours. I’ve looked everywhere and none of them have the pretty header. I’m planning a 40 year anniversary for my business and like the idea of posting the throughback headlines. Thank you in advance Denise
