InstaSummer Recap | @southernflairblog

Friday, August 1st, 2014

Good morning! Yesterday I had orientation at my school and spent the day meeting and greeting all my new students and parents (so oops no post!)! But since my summer is donezo, I wanted to share a few photos to recap what’s been happening in my Instagram world the past few months!

Follow along @southernflairblog

1. I couldn’t share Instagrams without showing you the cutest little chihuahua in the world. Maggie has to make an appearance every once in a while, right?

2. I found this pretty little white quartz necklace from Piece & Tranquility in my mailbox this week. Ashley’s Etsy shop has a gorgeous selection of necklaces, bracelets and earrings using stones and metals, and beads. I’ve got my eye on several pieces!

3. I redecorated my classroom for this year with lots and lots of yellow. What you don’t see in this Instagram, is me standing on top of three textbooks on top of a shelf to reach the ceiling. But hey, at least I took my shoes off. Safety first!

4. Sophia Amoruso’s #GIRLBOSS was my favorite thing I read all summer. Amoruso is the CEO of Nasty Gal and she tells her story of how to become a #GIRLBOSS. She started out by dropping out of high school, stealing and digging in dumpsters, and today she runs a fashion retailer worth $100 million with 350 employees. And she’s hilarious. Definitely a must read!


1. I’m obsessed with my polka dot Kate Spade Keds! You can browse more styles that are on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! But you better hurry… prices go back up August 4. I’m also a huge fan of the Kate Spade lemon and cork Keds- both are so unique and fun!

2/3. I had to squeeze in two more photos from my Europe trip- cakes in Salzburg and adorable tulips at a sidewalk cafe in Amsterdam. But I’ve got lots more where that came from on my recap posts from Prague, Salzburg, Munich and Amsterdam!

4. So I know I just got back from Europe, but I’m already itching for another adventure… and I’m thinking Thailand! Who’s with me?!

1. A few weeks ago Aristocracy Apparel, a men’s clothing store, reopened in downtown Baton Rouge. We celebrated with art, food, music, and Project Runway Allstar winner Anthony Ryan!

2. Just some flowers from my visit to Pike Place Market in Seattle. Can you believe these bouquets are only $10?! Crazy.

3. Kaela Rodehorst Williams works her magic while shooting one of my favorite local designers Celeste Austin from Savvy Root. I’ve got so much to share with you guys about this brand!

4. Finally, Roux is a new Baton Rouge publication that focuses on entertainment, art, fashion, etc. I was lucky enough to be their featured blogger for their debut issue in July and again for August, which launches today! Check it out here!

Nautical Favorites with L. Mae Boutique

Friday, June 27th, 2014


Ahoy! (OK, too cheesy?) The nautical trend is always a summer favorite of mine-especially around the Fourth of July. L.Mae Boutique is a Southern boutique I recently discovered and they’ve got lots of red, white, and blue sailor-themed items to choose from at really great prices. I’m seriously in love with that “Hello Sailor” sweater and it’s under $50! You can’t see the back, but it’s just as cute with the anchor detail. You can shop all nautical and Fourth of July favorites here.

I’m headed to Europe tomorrow, so I won’t be here for my favorite patriotic holiday. I’ll be traveling through Prague, Munich, Salzburg, and Amsterdam. This will be my first time in all these countries, so any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

During my trip I won’t be posting much. However, I do have a special Fourth of July post scheduled with Hey, Penelope and another giveaway that you won’t want to miss! Check back Monday for that!

I’ll be back soon! Keep up with SF on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest!

My Favorite Blues Jean Bar Express Box Outfit!

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

Product Information: Henry & Belle Super Skinny jeans in Orchid and AS by DF Flavia Tank | Both items were part of The Blues Jean Bar Express Box!

Good morning! Last week I introduced y’all to the Blues Jean Bar Express Box program. My box included 6 outfits for me to try on and I absolutely loved them all! The program is just like having your own personal stylist, and my stylist did an amazing job on picking out the perfect items for me. And as much as I loved all my outfits, I reeeally loved this outfit! It was definitely my favorite! Y’all, that zipper detail is to diiie for! I added my fun heart-shaped sunglasses, a clutch from Bayou Gypsy (based in Monroe, LA), and the heels. I didn’t want to take away from the amazing zipper top, so I accessorized with one simple bracelet.

My photographer Katie and I actually took these photos at my house since I was trying on everything in my box. It was a really long day with wardrobe changes, and we stepped up our game a bit with lighting and other photography things I’ll never understand. So it called for some silliness at the end (plus, I think the heat was just really getting to us)! What would I do without Katie there to capture these lovely moments below?

Have a great Monday and keep up with SF on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest! And find more info on the Blues Jean Bar program here!

Flamingo Fashion Trend Summer 2014

Monday, June 9th, 2014

Photos: 1, 2, 3

I’m having a moment with flamingos- and I think everyone else is too. Single flamingos and flamingo prints are making their way on everything from swimsuits and sundresses to tops and shoes this summer. The prints are so bold, lively, and bright and definitely one of my favorite current trends! Check out 15 of my favorite flamingo items below!

Would you wear flamingo prints? Which is your favorite?

Have a great Monday! Check back this week for a Louisiana-inspired summer outfit, plus a giveaway with one of my favorite local designers!
