A little bit Preppy...A little bit Redneck

What a fabulous weekend...Shop, Shop, Shop! Saturday I took a Daytrip to Mount Dora, Florida for the Spring Antiques Collectibles & Crafts Show... had LOADS of fun y'all. Mt. Dora is a quaint little town just northwest of Orlando. It's historic downtown is full of boutiques, gift shops, cafes, and antique shops. It's fun to visit Mt. Dora anytime...great day trip for Floridians or those visiting the Orlanda area! "HERE'S WHAT I WORE" I'm still in that tricky wardrobe transition time. Lord have mercy! I put such strict seasonal fashion rules on myself! {No sleeveless stuff, no open-toed shoes, no white, no patent leather!} I tried to wear something Spring-y and comfortable...something Preppy, of course! These coveralls in the 'Fried Catfish' pattern by Lilly are the newest addition to my Lilly coverall collection.

Love the 'Fried Catfish' pattern... I wore my {closed-toe} pink mules by Lilly and a cute monogrammed cap by 2PreppyGirls. My ponytail was adorned with my Lilly-fied scrunchie:) My iPhone cover was lime green and I wore my 'Desert Tort' watch by Lilly. I wore my pearl stud earrings by Ralph Lauren and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My fragrance of choice for the day...'Wink' by Lilly. My shopping tote is from the $1 bin at Target...monogrammed, of course!

Ready to go with my shopping list of must-finds, I drove thru Dunkin Doughnuts for an early-morning energy boost!

A little bit redneck...yes, I guess I am y'all! How cute is this Redneck Wine Goblet. Linda Jarrett offers these on her Etsy site, Sassy Stemware. You can get them plain or with dots {use your fav team colors}, or she will paint on your monogram for you! LOVE these! I got so many fun comments about mine in Mount Dora! What a perfect gift for the Southern girl who likes to party!

Too early for "Merlot Hour"...I'm sippin' homemade lemondade I bought from some cute young Georgia boys!!! Enjoyed a great lunch at my fav restaurant, The Goblin Market...a must-do place to dine in Mt. Dora.

After two days of non-stop shopping, I arrived back home and just threw my loot on the bed and hit the sofa for a night of marathon Lifetime Movie Network Movies!

Can't wait for the Mt. Dora Fall 2011 show! On the way home, I was mentally planning my next trip...hmmm.

Thank y'all for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week!

ROAD TRIP Y'ALL!

ROAD TRIP Y'ALL! I'm off to the quaint little town of Mount Dora, Florida, near Orlando. It's time for the annual Mount Dora Spring Collectibles and Crafts Show...where the streets of Mount Dora come alive with hundreds of artists showcasing crafts and antique collections.
I just love small towns y'all. I'll be staying in a very cute and quaint Bed & Breakfast and I'm looking forward to having breakfast at the Inn each morning before hitting the streets to "Shop Till I DROP!"

I've heard so many good things about this Mayberry-ish small town!

I'll try to have dinner at "The Goblin Market," 'cuz it's been highly recommended.

I'm looking forward to worshiping at Saint Edward's Episcopal Church...

A must-do for Miss Janice...tea at the Windsor Rose Tearoom!

The BMW is ready and I've got my Lilly thermo ready to fill...
My bags are packed, in style of course...My carryall is the 'Elizabeth' pattern, by Vera Bradley {Miss Janice's monogram in blue} I like to laminate my business cards and tie them onto my bags with a cute ribbon bow...just in case! The matching garment bag by Vera Bradley...with my monogram.
Love this tote by Land's End to hold my laptop and other much needed crack gadgets...y'all must have known it would be monogrammed also!
I'm only going to be gone for a few days and I'm packing light and mixing & matching! "Here's What I'm Wearing."

For the drive, I'll wear these khaki capris, by Ralph Lauren. The polo shirt is also by Ralph Lauren, and the denim jacket is by Gap. How cute is this little flower pin? These are Lilly-fied pins ...love these! You can find them at etsy.com/shop/lwhelan . I LOVE this Lilly-fied pin!

My shoes are pink mules, by Lilly and my pocketbook is the Lilly Bermuda Bag with the 'Shrimp Cocktail' bag cover...adore this pattern! I'll wear this green cap, which is monogrammed in hot pink and a hot pink grosgrain ribbon on my ponytail. I'll also wear my silver monogrammed choker with the matching earrings and ring, along with my 'Oyster Perpetual' watch by Rolex and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My fragrance of choice will be 'Wink' by Lilly.

These coveralls, by Lilly, are the 'Chilean Avenue' pattern. These will be perfect for strolling the shops of Mount Dora and checking out the craft vendors! The blouse is a pink oxford, from Ralph Lauren.

Love the pattern of this material...pink & green and oh-so Lilly!

I will wear these pink mules by Lilly and this green cap, also by Lilly. My pocketbook is the Lilly Bermuda Bag with a pink cover, monogrammed in white. The jewelry & fragrance is the same as mentioned in the outfit above. My ponytail will be adorned with a light pink grosgrain ribbon.


For Church and Afternoon Tea, I will wear this cute Lilly shift in the 'Diamond Head Patch Pattern.' I'll also wear this 'Marilyn' cardigan sweater, also by Lilly.Again, pink & green and oh-so Lilly! And, I might add...oh-so Miss Janice!
Love the detail on the pockets!

My shoes...love these 'magenta' revas, by Tory Burch--perfect for this Lilly shift and great to wear all year long. The salesman at Neiman's said it was the last pair in the South Florida area!!! Well then, that justifies the cost, don't y'all think? I tried and tried to find the perfect 'magenta' pocketbook, but could not. Y'all know that I would go out WITHOUT a pocketbook before I'd ever carry one that did not match my shoes!!! So, I got a Midori-ish ribbon in a magenta color and added it to my little basket-style pocketbook. I think it will be just fine to carry to Church in a resort town in Florida:) I'll wear my pearl choker and pearl stud earrings by Ralph Lauren, my Cartier rollring wedding band, and to secure my ponytail, I'll wear a gold hair barrette, by Chanel. My fragrance of choice for the day...'Wink', by Lilly.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Now, I'm off to Mount Dora!
