I apologize for my absence! I wish I could say it wouldn’t happen again, but I have SO much school work to do before May 8. After that, I’ll be posting regularly again. Unless…. someone wants to write my literature review for me? Any takers?

I do have a few posts planned for next week including a giveaway with Six Degrees Hair Ties! You can win a pair just like the ones featured in today’s post. So be sure to check back Monday!

Have a fabulous Saturday, and be sure to keep up with Southern Flair on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest!

InstaSummer (so far…)

Posted on June 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

Summers off as a teacher aren’t exactly the most exciting things ever. Most of my days have been spent lounging by the pool, watching Vampire Diaries on Netflix, spending countless hours on Pinterest and reading questionable literature while my friends are busy being adults at their jobs. OK so maybe summers off aren’t all that bad. I have had extra time to spend on my poor neglected blog. Here are some photos of my summer break so far… Will post pics from my vacation in San Francisco soon!

Goodbye, school. See you in August.

Went to the beach with teacher friends and had a fabulous time Sang lots of ’80s hits and Taylor Swift — always a good time.

I bought these fun Mossimo wedges from Target

…and this Kate Spade watch and purple and gold Marc Jacobs watch

In LOOOVE with my new leopard shoes!

Is anyone else reading the Fifty Shades series? Kinda addicting… I just started the third book!

Turquoise & orange

I’ve spent lots of days at Starbucks “doing homework” for my summer class. But that mostly ends up with me on Pinterest pretending I have a huge house to decorate or a future wedding. Alas, I do not

Hope you’ve been having a fabulous summer so far.

Omgee! An outfit post!

Posted on August 10, 2011 | 5 Comments

Tada! This is my very first official outfit post! For the most part, Southern Flair has been a styling and trend blog. Including personal outfit posts was a New Year’s resolution for me, and now finally in August, I accomplish it!
In my first attempt at an outfit post, I learned a few things. First, it’s harder than it looks. Bloggers always make it looks so easy! Maybe I’ll catch on. Second, a tripod is a necessity. And third, it’s just too plain hot in Louisiana to be taking pictures outside at 4 p.m. Morning photo shoots are a must.

I’ve never considered myself a photographer by any means. I envy those who can take beautiful pictures and those who are so Photoshop savvy. I will greatly appreciate any tips!
