Hello friends.......today I'm off to Myrtle Beach for my family's 10th annual outlet shopping trip....yea, we're that cool. Every year two weeks before Christmas we hit the outlets like its our job and usually our car is so loaded down with bags that we look like we just robbed a department store.

The trip means more than ever now because two years ago during the trip I had a meltdown about the possibility of never being able to have children because of a possible medical condition I had just been informed of......now let me set the record straight, I wasn't planning on having kids for another 10 years but the thought of never being able to scared the mess out of me........ The Monday after we got back from Myrtle I........found out I was pregnant. SHOCK of a LIFETIME. But the best surprise of my life!!!!

Anywhos, do you guys want to know what just ruffles my feathers? When people think that activities like running errands and shopping mean that you don't have to wear "real clothes." Um, are you out of your house? Then you NEED to be wearing "real clothes" friends........please stop wearing your sweatpants to the mall. Clinton and Stacey have been preaching this for almost as long as our annual shopping trip.....how have you not picked up on that yet?!!!

Have a great weekend skrillas :)

PS I'm on the hunt for this clutch at the Kate Spade outlet store this weekend!!! Do you guys have any items on your Christmas list that you are dying for?

Oh hey....its time for another rant so hang in there. You know what I don't like, things that are fake: fake bags, fake teeth and most of all fake people....although surprisingly I love fake meat...especially tofu, I digress. With so many blogs flooding the blogosphere these days I'm...how do I put this...getting bored! So you are a pretty face and you can afford massive amounts of designer goods...that doesn't impress me. What impresses me is those people that put interesting outfits together and that have awesome personalities and they find a way to make that come across through their blog. I won't bore you although I could go on for days on this subject....I just wanted to thank a REAL person out there for taking these pics for me and that would be Molly from [still being] molly......you are AMAZING and don't you forget that :) PS stay tuned for some awesome posts about the "Momiform Diaries" coming soon!

What2Add: Palamino Necklace/ YSL Safari Inspiration



tunic: cabi// vest: michael kors// belt: vince camuto//shoes: stylemint// sunnies: target// jewels: stella&dot



Hey ya'll, you know you are back in your hometown when you pass by a roadside sign that reads "Pro Rodeo" at the local flea mall in bright flourescent letters...bahaha, nothing like the south. Anywhos, I'm super excited to debut the Palamino Necklace today. I wish I could pop out of your computer screen and show you in person because this necklace is stunning up close...and far away for that matter. I was feeling a little YSL 60's safari action in this outfit and the pop of coral just makes it that much better. PS I'm linking up with #yolomondays from still being [molly] today so be sure to check that out :)

I was wearing the Palamino Necklace available here. Stylist: Brooke Allen

What2Add: Its my Party...and More Wedding Pics

dress: h&m (old)// top: vince camuto// shoes: shoemint// sunnies: h&m// jewelry: stella & dot, michael kors

This is another long one so hang tight! I wanted to officially welcome the newest members of my arm party, which you saw pictured above. Also, to make a long story somewhat shorter...this cashier who was ringing me up yesterday while I was wearing this outfit looked at me and she was like "why are you so dressed up?"...and I responed "I didn't realize this was dressed up...I went into my closet and threw on what I wanted to wear and rushed out of the house with my jewelry and shoes in hand because I was in such a rush"....she responded "I throw my pjs on when I'm in a rush"......now blogger friends and friends alike...do I even need to tell you what was going through my head? I being the southern belle that I am smiled and said "have a nice day".....but I wanted to jump across the counter and punch her in the face and tell her to grow up and start dressing like an adult because she was defnitely around my age. Its my party....if I want to wear sequins and fuscia lipstick on a Monday afternoon then I WILL, if you don't like it avert your eyes! That is all :) PS here are some more wedding pics...there were around 500 so I tried to narrow them down bahaha, PSS that last shot is me doing my party dance.....

If you would like to purchase my necklace or bracelets you can do so here...just type in Brooke Allen for the stylist :)

What2Add: Bee Brooch- Day 2

top: the limited (old)// shorts: seven for all mankind// blazer: zara (old)// belt: vince camuto// shoes: marc by marc jacobs (old) bag: louis vuitton// jewelry: michael kors, stella & dot, kate spade

Ok so the second way that I like to wear a brooch is on the lapel of a blazer, it adds just the right amount of quirkyness! This outfit is an extravaganza of favorites, my favorite jorts with my favorite blazer with my favorite marc jacobs jellies with my new favorite brooch. I was feeling so confident in my outfit of favorites that I totally got rebellious and snuck some Chipotle into the cafe at the Natural Science Museum...I hid in the corner and ate it like doodle does when he puts something he's not supposed to in his mouth, what a great day!

You can purchase this brooch here....just enter Brooke Allen when it asks for your stylist!
