Favorite Things

Leslie's Favorite Things 1Posts have been light this week due to me working in my new classroom and planning to have students in my room by Thursday (and by light, I mean I posted once). I do have several fun things planned to keep my blog rolling through the back-to-school craziness though. I’m so excited to introduce y’all to some brands and shops in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Since I wasn’t able to blog so much this week, I decided to share some of my favorite things I’ve stumbled upon lately.

A Pinch of Lovely’s ‘Bless Your Heart’ Tank: OK, how cute is this?? As much as “Bless Your Heart” comes out of my mouth, I knew I had to have this tank as soon as Krystal posted it. You can purchase it in her Etsy shop and see how she styled it here, here, and here!

Think Twice Style’s Southern Blog Society Meet-Up Recap: After stalking these Louisiana bloggers for a while now, I finally got to meet them in real life! I’m super excited to be living closer to these ladies now and all the awesome blogger meetups in the future. Read Sarah’s recap of the night here.

Stella & Dot’s Fall Collection: Y’all know I’m a sucker for some Stella & Dot. Their fall collection is full of beautiful statement pieces, scarves, and handbags. See the full collection here.

Candy Shop Vintage’s Gold Dragonfly Earrings: I came home last night to find the cutest package from Candy Shop Vintage with these triangular earrings (it even had candy in it!). You may remember last week’s post on splurging and ‘why copycats suck’. It was so interesting to hear Deirdre’s side as an independent designer and you can see where her frustration comes from. She’s definitely not alone in dealing with something like this, so it’s something to think about when purchasing from “cheaper” retail stores.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and be sure to follow SF on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest!

Spring/Summer Trend: Denim Vests

A few months back I discovered fellow Louisiana blogger Jenn from Haute off the Rack. I haven’t been able to get denim vests out of my head since seeing her White Out + Denim post (pictured above). And now I’m seeing them everywhere. So last night, instead of grading poetry portfolios or writing a literature review, I searched online for some of my favorite denim vests of all styles and price ranges.

I have a couple denim vests from a few years ago (because remember I throw nothing away…ever), so I plan to dig those out and start incorporating them into my wardrobe again. But I’m definitely planning to add another style to my closet. Check out these options below!

Nashville, y’all

I went to Nashville a few weeks ago for a little trip before the hectic school year begins. Aaand then I got too caught up the hectic back-to-school rush that I forgot to post pictures (oopsy!). On the bright side, I pretttttty much finished working on my classroom today! Hooray, ME! I need to do a few more little things, but tomorrow I’m doing nothing and enjoying my last day of summer
