Happy Sunday, y’all! I’m headed back from the beach today. It was such a good girls’ weekend-despite not being able to get in the water yesterday thanks to humongous sharks and jellyfish. And I’m not exaggerating. There were sharks. Real ones. Real close. Not ok.

But now that the beach trip is over, it’s time to start thinking about Fourth of July. Today, I’ve got two outfit options for you. One casual and one a little dressier depending on what your plans are. I really love all the pieces-holiday or not.

Fourth of July Pinterest Inspiration

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

I can’t believe it’s already time to start planning for the Fourth of July! I, personally, have no idea what I’ll be doing on the 4th. Hopefully something involving a pool, food, and fireworks.

But hey, what are you doing tomorrow? If you’re in the New Orleans area, you should stop by Culture Shock’s first pop-up shop! (Remember Culture Shock from here?) Learn about different cultures while enjoying diverse fashions, ethnic music, and free mimosas! The pop-up shop will be at The Fly from 10-2! See more info on Culture Shock’s Facebook Page.

Have a great Friday and keep up with SF on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest!

2. Lips Printed Shirt from Maxnina, $12
3. Marc by Marc Jacobs Wallet from Stylebop, $150

Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day. I thought lipstick kisses would be a little different than the usual hearts and xoxo’s. Some lips can get a little too Rocky Horror Picture Show for me, but I really like these and this is a trend that will last more than just today. I love this Maxnina top (and for only $12?? Whaaaat!)

Anyway, hope you have a fabulous Valentine’s Day! I’ll be taming children high on candy all day.

InstaBreak

Posted on January 6, 2013 | Leave a comment

Where did my Christmas break go?? It’s back to work tomorrow. Time to shape America’s young minds once again. I’ve spent my last day of the holidays grading projects and essays and entering grades. Tomorrow’s going to be a loooong day. Here are a few Instagram snapshots of my (too short) Christmas break:

It seems skinny jeans are the go to when pairing with a chunky sweater. I tried to branch out on the third look. I love the look of a cropped sweater with a high-waisted skirt and boots.

finding the perfect combat boot

Posted on December 1, 2012 | Leave a comment

1. Steve Madden 2. DSW 3. Dollhouse 4. Sears 5. Charlotte Russe 6. MakeMeChic

This style of boot has been popular for a few years, but I’m just now jumping on the bandwagon. I’ve added a pair to my Christmas list, now I just need to figure out exactly which pair I want. All these combat boots featured are less than $100 and Steve Madden has a TON of styles to choose from. Decisions decisions….
