LILLY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Oooooh, I just love this photo...sent in by Betty Lou at TheCompanySheKeeps. The occasion was her friend Effie's wedding in Greenville, South Carolina. That's Betty Lou on the left, Mr. Lilly Lover in the center, and Kelsey on the right. Betty Lou was a bridesmaid and dressed accordingly, Mr. Lilly Lover is looking oh-so debonair and preppy in his Lilly Charles Blazer-Patched, and Kelsey is wearing Saemus Dress Silk Twill--she's also carrying the Lilly Metallic Mizner Clutch.

Betty Lou has an awesome blog. She's young and beautiful, she's a Law Student, a runner, and she documents the company she keeps, her colorful life, and how to "Wear it Well"! I just love that she likes to "Shop like the bill isn't coming"! Yes ma'am, I love that! Stop in over at her blog TheCompanySheKeeps--you will love it!

I WILL REMEMBER YOU!

Can you believe three cultural icons have died in the last three days?

First Ed MaMahon died on Tuesday at the age of 86. Famous for being Johnny Carson's sidekick on "The Tonight Show" for 30 years, how many times have we heard...."Heeeeeeeeere' s Johnny!" To be honest, I never really connected with "The Tonight Show" after Johnny and Ed left . Rest in peace, Mr. McMahon.
This morning, Actress Farrah Fawcett passed away at the age of 62 after a long and brave battle with cancer. Her gorgeous blonde hair and fabulous body gained her the title of "Sex Symbol" during the 70's. Although I loved her in "Charlie's Angels," I thought she was awesome in "The Burning Bed!" I recently watched the documentary "Farrah's Story" was very inspired by her will to fight to live! Rest in peace Miss Farrah!

While I was tweeting about Farrah and watching the coverage of her death on headline news...CNN reported that the LA Times was saying Michael Jackson was dead. WHAT? After many reports from different sources...I found out it was true! Like most of the world today, I'm not totally shocked that he may have had health problems, I am however, saddened and stunned by his death!

My very first concert was to see "The Jackson Five" in Columbia, South Carolina. Needless to say, I loved his music...all of it. What was my favorite M.J. song? "BILLIE JEAN"---I loved and still do love that song! Of course, I love "Off the Wall," "I Want to Rock with You," and "Thriller"...but that "BILLIE JEAN"...just loved it! Michael, "I WANT YOU BACK!" Awesome performer and awesome music! May you rest in peace!

My question to you today...What is your fave Michael Jackson song?

Here's Michael Jackson...photo from "Billie Jean".... "She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene..."

LILLY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Look at these two precious little girls...Arianna and Isabel, of Naples, Florida. This photo was taken on a cruise ship recently--the family sailed to the Bahamas and of course the little girls just had to have their hair braided. How cute are they in their matching Lilly dresses? Their mama Genevieve sent in this photo...she's expecting another little girl in August...to be named "Lily!"

LILLY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

I just love the photo I'm featuring this week. It's ThePoshMomma (a private blog read) and her Twincesses--the photo was taken this past Mother's Day. They are all wearing the Multi School Patch Fish dresses by Lilly. Posh Momma's necklace is by KristinPearce and the little girls clearly want it!

I just love the "Posh Momma's" site...she comes up with the best "Posh Momma Rules!" All y'all mamas out there know it takes a lot these days to be a "Posh Momma." This young lady definitely pulls it off with the help of God and her family. She is married to a man who is her best friend and has been since she was 12 years old! Together, they are raising these precious little Twincesses.

"This much fabulousness does not come by accident. It is not something you are born with. It is effort. 200% effort 24 hours a day."
~The Posh Momma

MERCI BEAUCOUP MISS PREPPY 101

Y'all remember after my last bad swap experience, I said "no more swaps for moi!" Well, I caved...TheCompanySheKeeps hosted a koozie swap recently and I participated. I got lucky and SouthernAndPreppy was my partner! Yay! Look at all my loot...all wrapped in the preppy-style.

What's that Vol's koozie and pom pom doing in there???? She is evidently on the Booster Club's Membership committee! Miss Preppy, I will definitely save this and lift up my Tennessee Koozie in a toast to you and the Vol's if they win the championship this year! Love the Vogue mag, the candy, and the little linen coaster with pink embroidery.

Y'all will definitely see the little pink cooler bag (monogrammed in green) in a future post I'm planning.

Look at her darling foldover notes...


Yes ma'am, y'all will also see this pink and green wine stopper in a future post!
Just perfect for my stylish pocketbooks, a preppy monogrammed purse mirror...

I just love this monogrammed Lilly Koozie...'cuz I have the matching Lilly shift...

It's the Summer Fling Pattern Shift by Lilly...Now all my Lilly shifts need matching Koozies--it's a Southern thing, y'all!

Thank you so much Miss Preppy 101 for all my loot! I love it all:)

Thanks again to TheCompanySheKeeps for hosting the swap and to SouthernAndPreppy for Making it Southern...Making it Memorable!

IT'S FLAG DAY...SO IT MUST BE MY BIRTHDAY!

It's Flag Day y'all! The American flag is our primary national symbol, and it should be displayed with respect. So, I simply must address Flag Etiquette.

~When the flag passes by, Americans should either stand in silent respect or place their right hands over their hearts. I was taught as a young girl to place my hand over my heart and that is how I salute the flag now. Don't you just hate it when professional athletes don't salute the American flag or show respect during the national anthem?
~A flag should only be flown from sunrise to sunset.
~A flag should never touch the ground or water.
~When a flag is so tattered and worn that it is unfit for display, it should be destroyed in one piece, privately and by burning.

During your patriotic celebrations, remember the words to the Pledge of Allegiance.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Yes, I was born on Flag Day! It's my birthday! It's my birthday! I LOVE THE LIFE I'M LIVING Y'ALL!

Husband is buying me the iPhone...need that! We are driving down to Miami for the day...Note to self: Bring spanish-english dictionary! We are going to have some fun...drivin' by the very first house we ever owned in Kendall (it was decorated in a Gucci theme y'all, I promise), having some dinner, and meeting up with a few long-time friends. It's a very casual day and "Here's What I'm Wearing"... The dress is a Cape Cod Blue Fresh Fish Krista dress, by Lilly and the white sweater throw is from Land's End. I'm carrying a small Chanel white pocketbook and wearing my pearl necklace.The shoes-- white Stephen Bonanno sandals. I will of course be wearing my Cartier roll ring wedding band, along with a gold Channel bracelet, and my pearl stud earrings. My ponytail will be adorned with a white grosgrain ribbon bow and after a spritz of Lilly Wink and some Lilly Wink hand cream...I'm Out the Door, y'all! It's Party Time!Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please remember to honor our national symbol...The American Flag!
