Hey y'all! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! I have been busy, busy, busy!

How fun is this maxi dress! I love the color combo, and as Miss Courtney Kerr would say, "It has excellent walkability". Maxi dresses are great for many reasons. I love them because they are so casual and easy, yet so elegant looking! At the great height of 5', I usually have to have a foot cut off, but that's OK because that means my friends aren't able to borrow them:)

How to you feel about maxi dresses?

Happy Thursday, y'all! I am off today and my plans consist of absolutely nothing except a bikini, a lounge chair, and something cold to drink, HA!

I first wore this tank with white newsboy pants to a Jamey Johnson concert a couple years ago. I forgot about it (even after 3 moves!!!) until I came across it in the back of my closet last week. My boyfriend always says "You have zero separation anxiety", but fortunately for me, that doesn't apply to clothes or shoes! An oldie but goody, right?!?!
Besides, I love food, and anything that will hide my food baby is well worth holding on to:)

I also love anything nautical. It's just so effortless and crisp looking. Makes me think of wondering around a small beach town on the east coast while sipping on Long Island Iced Tea's.

Speaking of small beach towns, we're planning a trip to Hilton Head this summer. We've never been so we're really excited! Any suggestions on lodging, dining, or shopping?

A Gift Guide for the Southern Mother

Rodan & Fields Reverse Skin Care Set, $179.00
Help Mom refurbish that skin you stuck her with after carrying you for nine months and putting up with you for those 18+ years.

Ralph Lauren Romance Perfume, $70.00
The man friend got me this for Christmas. I prefer Viva La Juicy, but it was a sweet thought so I keep it on the counter, and my Mom loves it. It's a good "mom" scent.

Tyler Candle Company High Maintenance, $22.95
For Mom to light after your brother takes his shoes off.

Vera Bradley Large Duffel, $85.00
Because for some reason every Southern teenage/college girl and Mom love a brightly colored quilted anything. Hello pot, meet kettle (I own 2). Add a monogram and she'll feel extra special.

Monogrammed Acrylic Key chain, $18.99
Because for some reason that I cannot figure out, Southern women feel the need to monogram everything.  Their cars, tshirts, shoes, and any other surface they can find.

Jack Rogers Nantucket Sandal, $118.00
These are a great Summer staple for any Southern Mom over 50. Oh, and Grandmother. Can't leave her out. They weigh about 212 pounds each, are like walking on bricks, and Southern women get a new color every year. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that these can also be monogrammed.

Ugg Suede Slippers, $120.00
Because we can't have her walking around in Mu Mu slippers. Unfortunately, I don't think these can be monogrammed. But if there is a way, a Southern woman will find it.

Countertop Wine Cooler, $130.00
Self explanatory. 

Brazilian Butt Lift, $55.00
This should help with the "bleacher butt"(also known as a flat ass) she developed over all of the years she was forced to sit in the stands and watch you play every school sport offered, no matter how bad you sucked at it. 

Travel Mug, $19.95
Because there is no better way to hide a little day drinking on-the-go than with a travel mug that says "Shhh, there's wine in here". In fact, buy 2 so you'll have one for yourself. After all, you're the reason she's a mom, therefor, you are the reason for the day drinking.

Lilly IPad Sleeve, $14.97
As previously stated, Southern women love brightly colored printed things. And access to social media at all times. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Bliss Bubble Bath, $18.00
So Mom can soak in the tub with her glass of wine after a long day in her  212 pound sandals, while pretending to listen to your sobs about how that bitch Mary Margaret stole your boyfriend John Luke David IV.

Coffee Mug, $18.99
Mom will need this for many reasons. Hangover jump start, to brag that you think she's "the bomb", and to remind herself that she did all that hard work and all she got was this stupid coffee mug.
