If I Were Still in School...

The other day I was riding down the escalator at Dillard's and had to snap a photo of the display featuring pink lockers!  My iPhone didn't capture the color very well...they are hot pink and so cute!

I'm so jealous that school girls today have so many options available to decorate their lockers.  I would totally decorate my locker.  Check out some of the darling locker accessories I found online...

A chandelier for my locker?  Yes ma'am!  How cute is this precious chandelier that is motion-sensored and runs off  of batteries?!  You can find these in pink and other colors here.



Then I'd buy some of this precious pink polka dot wallpaper.


Oh my Lord...these prissy curtains!

A cute little polka dot frame mirror...'cuz you gotta primp!

Now y'all know my school supplies would have to be cute also!  Lilly pens:)


And Lilly highlighter pens...LOVE these!
Must-have Lilly notebooks.

I'd keep a stash of my favorite Lilly 'Wink' parfum spray inside the locker.



Of course, my monogram would be on the outside of the door!

How sweet would it be?  Dreaming!

Throwback Thursday

This photo was taken by the pool at a hotel in Nice, France in the mid 80's.  I absolutely hate flying since September 2011, but I do believe I would down a tranquilizer to get on a plane bound for France.  I absolutely love the French and the Italian Riviera.  If husband hits lottery...summer home in France!



I hope that y'all were able to travel to a special place this summer and that you made memories that will last for a lifetime!

The Wrist Stack

Road trip to Georgia outfit of the day.  "Here's What I Wore."  The skirt is pink 'Hibiscus Gingham' by Lilly, a pink Lilly tee, and pink Lilly flower thongs--all old school Lilly...my favorite!

'Cuz on Wednesdays We Wear Pink!

I carried my Nantucket 'Lightship' pocketbook.

I bought these thongs when I lived in California 10 years ago...I just can't let them go.

"Here's What Miss Coco Wore"  Her pink 'Coco' monogrammed bandana was custom-made for her by  LWhelanDesigns.  {Mama's wearing ric-rac, so Coco had to wear ric-rac also!}  Of course, her top knot is adorned with a pink bow!  She just got a puppy cut on Friday so she could stay cool for the trip!

So let's talk about wrist stacks y'all!  Everybody's stacking bracelets, watches, and bangles on their wrist.  Well, Miss Janice is having a little difficulty with this fad.  No matter what I stack, it just doesn't look right on me.  The fact that my wrists are so tiny does not help either.  I've tried on some darling bangles by Lilly Pulitzer and Tory Burch but they just fall right off my wrist.  Boo hiss!

So today, I'm adorning my wrist with a Barry Beaux Lilly-fied wrist bow.  Made from Lilly Pulitzer fabric, these bows fasten with velcro and they are the perfect solution for us girls who have very small wrists.


I tried creating some stacks...not sure how I like them.  Take a peek...
The Church-Appropriate Stack

A Lilly 'Sailor bracelet' and a Rolex

I feel a bit strange stacking anything with my gold Rolex...okay, maybe a 'Love' bracelet.

Two Chanel charm bracelets and a Rolex.  This is as layered as I'm gonna get y'all!

A 'Love' bracelet, a Rolex, and a 'Bit' bracelet

A Tiffany bracelet, a Rolex, and a monogram bangle.

So what about y'all?  Are y'all fans for the Wrist Stack...aka Wrist Party, Arm Bling, Wrist Candy?

Packing for the Road Trip to Mama's

This morning I'm off to Mama's house in Georgia.  I promise y'all that it takes me a week to get ready to go out of town and a week to get my stuff organized upon my return home.  I'm so high maintenance!

I'm still on my "Clean Living Diet" so I have to pack my road trip lunch...no fast food for moi.  I stuck my monogram on the plastic container lid cover and my Lilly 'Coral Me Crazy' water bottle is also monogrammed!  The decals are from 2PreppyGirls.  

Lunch:  Tuna salad, avocado, and mini triscuits...with cold water.

The Lilly 'Later Gator' lunch tote is perfect for road trips.

Of course, my new prissy cooler is making the trip!

I still love to use my Vera Bradley "Elizabeth" {retired} garment bag and overnight bag, along with my Lands' End monogrammed tote.

I still love this pattern after all these years!

Y'all know I have to tie my calling cards onto everything with a yellow gingham ribbon bow!

I'm looking forward to spending a few weeks with my sweet Mama!  Thanks for visiting with me today.

Prissy and Preppy Personal Cooler

I'm so excited that my monogrammed painted cooler arrived just in time for a road trip to Mama's house.  Painted coolers are all the rage now and I've searched all over the internet for one I could use for road trips or to carry to the beach.  This one is a 12-quart personal size and perfect for my needs.  Sav at Suit Your Fancy Creations did a fabulous job!


Sav offers various Lilly Pulitzer pattern designs, sports team images, and pretty much whatever you desire to showcase on your cooler.  Since I change my mind so often, I decided to go with no pattern...just pink on the bottom and lime green on the top.  I simply adore this cooler!

Of course, I was totally sold with the monogram and pearls!  This is ever-so prissy and still preppy and cute!

Sav will hand-paint a personal cooler for you into whatever design suits your fancy.  They are painted with acrylic paint, sealed twice, and then sprayed with a water-resistant sealer.

Take a peek at just a few of the options:

A Lilly design...

Love this design...

And, you don't have to add the pearls...

These coolers would make a great gift for students going away to college.  Have the cooler painted with their monogram and stuff it with goodies for their dorm/apartment!  Oh-so cute y'all!

Looking Cute While Working Out

Southern girls must look cute when they are working out!  When I run in 5k races I always try to wear something cute and coordinate my outfit just like I do any other day.  I admit...sometimes I look a little tacky at the gym...just being honest y'all!

I love monogrammed Norts.  Lucky for me, there aren't too many girls wearing these around Port St. Lucie, Florida...at least not yet!  You can find these at Classic Prep Monograms or buy your own Nike shorts and have them monogrammed.

Love these monogrammed tees from The Southern Monogram.  They are available in short sleeve and long sleeve lengths.

You can choose from a variety of fabrics for the pocket, OR you order one like mine...with a Lilly Pulitzer fabric pocket...monogrammed!  Precious y'all!!!


Yes ma'am!  A monogrammed sports bra!  A must-have for the Southern girl who likes to stay fit.  You can find these at The Southern Monogram.

Keeping it preppy...I love these running shoes from Nike!   Pink and green and stinkin' cute!

I always wear Ralph Lauren socks to work out and run...of course I have them in every color!  I saw the multi-colored packs at Dillard's recently...maybe 6 to the pack...lots of cute colors!

For the chilly days...a monogrammed sweatshirt!  LOVE these!  These are also available from The Southern Monogram and they have lots of colors!

Prefer a hoodie...monogrammed?  These are available at Premier Impressions and they have a wide choice of colors.  Love 'em!

Premier Impressions also carries these cute monogrammed caps.  Y'all know how I love my monogrammed pony caps!  They have these caps available in lots of colors!

Could you make your outfit a little more Southern?  Yes ma'am, just add a monogrammed grosgrain ribbon pony bow.



I hope y'all have been inspired by the Olympic games.  Ready.  Set.  Just do it!
