IN SOME FORM OR FASHION

Recently a guy friend of mine scored an awesome new job, so of course, he'll need an equally awesome new wardrobe to go with it. When he jokingly asked me to help him go shopping, I jumped at the opportunity! I live for fashion & styling my girlfriends, mom, sister, etc. But guys are a different story! So it inspired me to do a post on menswear I love. In my opinion, here are seven ways to dress like a dapper young gentleman: 1) Every guy needs some cropped chinos/jeans & a great jacket. 2) Get a great pair of glasses. Whether prescription, sunnies, or both. 3) Own a great suit. So you'll only be able to bust it out at the occasional wedding or work Christmas party, but when you do...it is so good. You know what they say, "A well-tailored suit is to a women, what lingerie is to men." 4) Take a que from the greats. Keep it tailored, crisp, ironed , & classic. 5) Top it off ...

So to say I am in need of new glasses is an understatement - I've been wearing the same "J.Lo" brand pair since 8th grade! So sad. But really, they were only worn at night & on Christmas morning. So I am finally getting a new pair & decided to try Warby Parker ! It's super trendy & awesome. How it works: You get to order 5 pairs for FREE & they send you them (not prescription), you try them on & send them back & order! How cool is that? So you get this cute little box in the mail. And they include a fun note! I opted for 5 different shades of Tortoise Shell - timeless, classic & goes with everything. They also send you cute emails! And thanks to my trusty webcam, here they are! "The Chandler" - very "Jenna Lyons-esque" "The Preston" - my fave "The Ainsworth" - runner-up "The Mallory" - make me look like a cartoon character "The S...

For years now I've been wanting to watch the beloved, classic movie, "Annie Hall" starring one of my favorite actresses, Diane Keaton, & Woody Allen. And yesterday I finally did. I've seen quite a few of Woody Allen's more current pieces: "Scoop," "Vicky Christina Barcelona," "Midnight in Paris," but have never seen the ones that originally made him famous. It was just as great as everyone said it would be. Most of my friends & family would agree that I was born in the wrong decade. I think I lived in the 70's in a former life. So needless to say, I was in love. Anyway, here's what I absolutely adored about "Annie Hall." Annie was the epitome of the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" & her clothes did not disappoint. I loved her androgynous looks, her middle part, & her sweet, charming, funny demeanor. She was sassy & smart & stood up for herself. And I loved that she wasn't perfect ei...

As I said before, I recently had a birthday, & it always strikes me as such a funny time of year when it comes around. As a kid it was typically on or around the first day of school. My 18th birthday was my first day of college. And my 21st & 22nd birthdays were spent during recruitment for my college sorority. It's weird in that it always marks the summer ending, & brings me such a bittersweet feeling. Today is September 1st. Although it's not officially the first day of the fall season, in my mind summer is officially over. I look back on this summer with nothing but smiles. It was filled with beer festivals, Braves games, breweries, a work retreat in Destin, a trip home to Ft. Lauderdale, 4th of July at the lake, a food truck festival, Luke Bryan concert, the Atlanta Zoo, countless movies & new restaurants, long afternoons drinking bottomless mimosas, & a few small Netflix obsessions with "Arrested Development" & "Orange is the New ...
