2016 New Year Resolution's

• Don't get a boyfriend (I gotta get that college degree first)
• Go on a cruise (ps. I've never been on one before)
• TURN 21 ON FEBURARY 5th (I decided to leave that misspelling in there, because if I am turning 21 and still do not know how to spell the month I was born in--that is a personal problem)
• Get a summer internship
• Grow closer to God & attend church as frequently as possible
• Bee happy
• Pray every night
• Write a letter to my future self (My roommate and I thought it would be funny to write a letter to ourselves when we will be pregnant and going into labor, I still think that would be a fabulous year)
• Write a blog post every.single.day in January. (lol I am saying everyday in January, because let's be real, resolutions typically don't last any longer than January)

Winter Essentials

CHRISTMAS IS COMING, CHRISTMAS IS COMING! 

Start lighting the wood in the fire place, enjoy a sizzling cup of hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows of course), and turn on ABC Family for their 25 Days of Christmas specials. A few of my favorite things in the Christmas season is a tie between plaid long-sleeved shirts, booties (which must ALWAYS be paired with lace socks), and vests. Of course no outfit is complete without my staple pearls (earrings, necklaces, bracelets; there is never such a thing as "too many pearls").

Essential #1 is this J.Crew Oxford cobalt, red, and emerald green shirt. It retails for $75, but I never suggest paying "actual retail price." I am a firm believer that any prepster on a budget could always find a similar style from either J.Crew Factory, Old Navy, or Forever 21. 

 

Essential #2 is any colored vest to spice up your BLS (basic long sleeve). Whether it is Patagonia fleece or Old Navy quilted down vest, each southern belle should have a few stockpiled in their closet for those days when the sun ain't shinning. 

Essential #3 is no other than a plaid blanket scarf (#basicaf). I purchased mine from an inexpensive website called SheIn (basically with this website you're one step away from your laptop contracting a virus, because its that SKETCH). Southern Belle decided to purchase a visa gift card, so her credit card information wouldn't get stolen. 

Winter in Florida is more like a judgement call whether the weather that day will be like the Sahara desert going through menopause or antarctic on Christmas day. Never the less, a southern belle can never be caught dressed below a 10 out in public.

Meet Me

est. 1995

February 5th, 1995: The air was cool and crisp, love in the air, and the birth of a cheese-lovin', fashion obsessed, future sorority girl, whom many know as A$. I chose to grace my parents presence on a day many Americans decide to eat more than their body weight in potato chips, wear eccentric colors of football teams they may or may not know the name of,  put more effort in their Instagram filter  rather than the penalty the ref just called; twas this day was Super Bowl. Flash forward twenty years later, I am the still the same football-crazed southern belle I was on day one. The purpose of this blog is to waste a few minutes you could be spending on working on homework or just to add a little laughter in your day-to-day life. Fluent in sarcasm, I'll always be here for you.
