My Four Fall Faves at Blithe and Vine!

Since I’m the [relatively] new social media girl at the lovely women’s boutique Blithe and Vine (located in Fondren Corner!), I got to be included on the fun assignment of all the B&V girls picking their four fall faves at the store!

The task was easy because I pretty much love every single thing that owner Liz Spratlin orders for the store, but hard because in choosing only four items, it was near impossible to narrow things down!

These four beauties ended up being my four faves, though!

I mean… How awesome are these items?! I particularly love those fingerless gloves… AND, they come in three colors!

To see what the other three lovely B&V ladies chose, click here! I promise you’ll love what they picked, too! 🙂

While we’re on the topic of Blithe and Vine (and pretty clothes…), I’ll share a few more of my favorite images that have been shared via Instagram, Facebook, and/or Twitter as of late! I swear, Liz can do no wrong in picking things out…

Gorgeous, right?! I hope you think so! 🙂 Next time you’re in Fondren, I recommend stopping in and saying hey! All the girls there are super sweet!

Hope you’re all having a good week so far! Thanks for stopping by!

(P.S…. In case you don’t remember this fun Blithe and Vine collaboration from back in the Spring, check it out! These are adorable!!)

Fashinsipration Collaboration with Blithe and Vine, Part 3

Today, I give you the third and final installment of our three part fashion collaboration with Blithe and Vine!

In case you missed part one or part two, be sure to check them out! 🙂

Part three is entitled Spring Fling. And with Coachella happening this weekend, the timing to debut this look couldn’t be more perfect!!! It’s so festival chic!!

PLUS, this is my favorite of the three looks for multiple reasons! So… Let’s get to it!

Elish on this look:

I have been secretly wanting to give the head wrap trend a go… because it definitely has been lingering summer after summer for several seasons now! It’s another great use for a light scarf, not to mention the best accessory for a bad hair day!

I got away using this top as a dress and added a killer beaded necklace for some interest. This look was so fun…I was ready to buy tickets to a music festival just to put it to good use. Oh and I swoon for this keyhole Kelly Wearstler Ring I’m sporting!

Liz on this look:

I loved styling this look with Elish! She looks like a chic hippie chick. Look out Coachella, here she comes!!!

But the great part is, each piece could be paired with different items in your closet for a completely unique look. Add the scarf & boots to basic white jeans & a tee and you’re looking fabulous for a casual day at the office, or Saturday lunch with the girls. And any piece of Kelly Wearstler jewelry adds instant edge to your look!

I had so much fun doing this shoot with Elish & Laurel, two gorgeous, smart & stylish women. Thanks ladies, and remember… #lifeisshortdresscute!!!

Scarf: Virginia Johnson
Top worn as dress: Kai Aackman

THANKS for the kind words, Liz! Love the hashtag 🙂

Feel free to leave a comment with what you thought about our collaboration!! Would you like to see more partnerships with other local boutiques?! I’m always open to hearing your wonderful input! 🙂

Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND! And if you’re lucky enough to be at Coachella this weekend… I may or may not be really jealous of you… 😉

XO!

Fashinspiration Collaboration with Blithe and Vine, Part 2

Happy Tuesday, folks!

Today, I bring you Part 2 of the three-part style collaboration with Blithe and Vine!

In case you missed Part 1 last week, be sure to check that out before you go any further! 🙂

NOW, let’s talk about NAVY + WHITE!

Elish on this look: 

Thanks to owner Liz Spratlin’s expertly curated boutique, there were some fabulous pieces to choose from for this look! I paired some silky, navy shorts with an airy jacket and gorgeous leather booties.

Navy + White is fail proof for spring, and subtle but killer details on every piece do the work for you. From the gold details on the pockets of this top, to the sheer back panel, to the intricate leather straps on the bag, every piece speaks for itself… And isn’t that the ultimate payback for investing in these wardrobe staples?

Liz on this look:

I always say that details make the difference in your wardrobe and this look proves that. Love the two-tone boots, but the jacket in particular: sheer back, gold detail on the front flap pockets, arrow stitching at the cuff… This one piece packs a lot of punch. And the handmade leather bag isn’t bad either!

Navy shorts: Koch
White jacket: Kai Aackman
Booties: Humanoid
Bag: All Hands

Thanks, Liz and Elish, for putting your awesome fashion skills to work! I love, love, love this look!!! Be sure to stay tuned as we bring you PART 3 of this fabulous series! I’ve saved my favorite look for last so… GET EXCITED!

Fashinspiration Collaboration with Blithe and Vine, Part 1

Ok fashion lovers… I have a real treat for you today involving Fashinspiration…
And this is only the first of three springy treats to come in the next week or so! YAY!

Blithe and Vine is one gorgeous shop!!

Elish and I are so excited to have had the opportunity to collaborate with our sweet friend Liz Spratlin, owner of the beautiful women’s apparel shop Blithe and Vine in Fondren! Elish and I were both super flattered when Liz approached us with the idea of teaming up because we are both crazy about her personal style! She’s one awesome woman!

We ended up with three gorgeous, inspiring, and very different looks! The first of the three looks is called… drumroll please…
Thin Mint + Ode To Kelly

Elish on this look:

Miroslava Duma recently made a pretty powerful statement: “Donna Karan once said that if it takes more than 20 minutes to get ready you have some problems with your appearance. I totally agree. I can’t understand women who open their huge wardrobes and say, ‘I have nothing to wear.’ “

This pairing is a perfect example of the above mindset. The pieces were the first things I tried on and the first look we shot for Blithe and Vine. No one piece outshines the other, but together they compliment each other beautifully! All basics,(my favorites), these pieces just WORK.

Amaze mint skinnies against these gorgeous Rosegold heels were a no brainer. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…we added some stunning pieces from Kelly Wearstler’s jewelry collection. Check out the earrings!

Liz on this look:

I love Elish’s take on casual chic in this look. The mint jeans add a subtle touch of color, but the sweatshirt with neon flecks really does the trick. And these versatile heels will work with jeans and dresses and shorts…you name it. Here’s to a neutral shoe with some kick!

Mint skinnies:: Closed
Sweatshirt:: Closed
Heels:: Rosegold

I love every component of this gorgeous casual look! The next two looks are completely different and equally as amazing (if not moreso!) so stay tuned!!

Y’all be sure to give Blithe and Vine a like on Facebook or a follow on Twitter or Instagram! I can nearly guarantee you’ll love every single picture Liz posts…

Until next time… 🙂
