After a quick lunch and trip to Starbuck's, I was off to see "The Help." Lord have mercy I LOVED this movie and the book and can't stop thinking about it all...each character who represents someone from my childhood growing up in the South. I fell in love with Skeeter, Minny, Aibileen, and especially little Mae Mobley. Awesome y'all. Just awesome!
I loved the home decor from the 60's, the hair do's, and of course, the clothes. Here's the girls at Bridge Club.
LOVED the maids--Minny and Aibileen!!! Loved 'em!
Celia Foote...loved the part she played so well.
Miss Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan and her mama, Mrs. Charlotte Boudreau Cantrelle Phelan...with the Shinalator for Skeeter's curly hair. I totally need one y'all!
After the movie, I was off to the newly opened Hobby Lobby--so excited that our town now has a Hobby Lobby. Of course, I shopped till I dropped...finding a lot of cute new loot for Autumn.
"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" The skirt is the 'Taboo' pattern by Lilly and the white tee is from Target. Even though it was about 95 degrees in the shade today, I carried my J Crew 'Jackie' green cardigan to wear inside the freezing cold theater.
My accessories: Pink & green Jack Rogers, gold monogrammed choker and matching earrings, Cartier roll ring wedding band, 'Oyster Perpetual' Rolex watch, pink grosgrain ponytail bow, Chanel sunglasses, Lilly 'Later Gator' croakies, lime green iPhone cover, Essie 'Lovie Dovie' nail polish, Chanel 'Laser Pink' lipstick, and Lilly 'Wink' cologne and body lotion.
I carried my pink 'Le Pliage' pocketbook by Longchamp.
After seeing the help today, I can say that I'm totally obsessed with sweater guard clips now. Great. Just great. Another obsession!
I will close with a few of my favorite lines from the movie and the book:
~"I can't believe Johnny married a girl so tacky like she is!"

~"I can't believe Johnny married a girl so tacky like she is!"
~"Today, I'm trying to explain to her the difference between dipping and polishing the silver, how only the tacky houses do the dip cause it's faster, but it don't look good."
~"I wash her hair every Friday. I never seen that woman wash her own hair. If I die before her, I don't know what Miss Sissy gone do about getting her hair washed."
~"She's (Celia) wearing a tight red sweater and a red skirt and enough makeup to scare a hooker!"
~"Miss Leefolt sigh, hang up the phone like she just don't know how her brain gone operate without Miss Hilly coming over to push the Think button."
~"You got nothing left here but enemies in the Junior League and a Mama that's gone drive you to drink. You done burned every bridge there is. And you ain't never gonna get another boyfriend in this town and everybody know it. So don't walk your white butt to New York, run it."
~"I rolled 13 curlers in her hair every night at the Chi Omega house at Ole Miss, but today she threatened to throw me out of the Junior League."
~Mrs. Charlotte Phelan's Guide to Husband-Huntin, Rule #1: A pretty petite girl should accentuate with makeup and good posture, a tall plain one with a trust fund."
