Neils Birthday Weekend

Hey all!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Neils birthday was Friday, so, instead of celebrating only on Friday, we made it into an entire weekend of fun!  We went to lunch at his favorite Mexican place on Friday, went and did some shopping on Saturday and today we just relaxed!  Here is what I got him for his birthday!

He's been wanting this Vineyard Vines Harbor Vest for a while, so of course I had to get it for him! Look how handsome this guy is!



I also got him some other little gifts here and there, but this was his main present. If any of y'all know someone who is wanting a nice fleece vest, this is the one to get! Neil really recommends it, and so do I!  Overall, I'm pretty sure he had a great birthday...now what to get him for Christmas!?

How was your weekend?  Did you do anything fun or exciting?

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

Here in Alabama, the weather is getting cooler and as much as I don't want to, I will soon have to give up my flip-flops, shorts and sundresses.  But not to worry, because I have been on the look out for some classy and fabulous fall fashion, and I found it!  Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order.

Colors: Carry On, Glamour Purse, Case Study, Power Clutch, Very Structured, and Lady Like  

The new fall line from Essie.  I hate going anywhere with out my nails being polished, so keeping up with the seasonal color trends are important to me.  I tend to lean more towards a shade of red or pink every time I paint my nails so the Carry On and Lady Like colors are my favorite. 


These are some of my fall shoe picks. I love wearing my boat shoes all year round, and Sperry has some really cute new styles for fall.

Silverside Wedge- Classy wedges that are great for day or night.  The wedge heel gives you stability and comfort, while the peep toe adds some extra style.  Available in several colors
Kendall Flat- Just like the Silverside but in a closed toe flat for those days that heels just wont do. Available in many colors and patterns.
A/O- You can't go wrong with a classic!  I love the look of the all leather A/O.  They are perfect for a casual day around town and they are so comfy. Available in tons of colors and patterns.
Cypress Wedge- We all need a cute black wedge.  These are a perfect summer to fall transition shoe.  Also available in leopard canvas and platinum leather.
Avery Slip On Loafer- I love these loafers!  Pair these with some jeans and a cute top and you have the perfect outfit. You can get these in 3 other colors as well.

All of these are pieces from Vineyard Vines, but you can find the same styles just about anywhere... you might even have some hiding in your closet.  And even better, they are classics, so they never really go out of style! 

Oxford- The Oxford shirt is a must have for any preppy wardrobe.  It can be worn under a sweater or by its self.  Either way you wear it, you will have a polished, classy look.  I prefer oxfords with a subtle, light colored vertical stripe or in a solid color.
V-Neck Sweater- A V-neck sweater is, in my opinion, an essential to any wardrobe.  You can wear it with an oxford or tank underneath for at school or the office or just by its self at night, as long as the neck line is not too low!
Cardigan- A cardigan can be added to just about any outfit.  I try to stick with colors that are versatile and will work with lots of different outfits.
Corduroy Skirt- Corduroy is perfect for fall.  A corduroy skirt is great because you have the heavier fabric, but can still enjoy wearing a skirt, even though it is a little cooler outside.  I would recommend a tan or brown color, that way you have lots of color possibilities as far as tops go.
Pullover- I love the quilted shoulder detail on this pullover.  It is casual, but still stylish for those days you have to run out the door.
