There’s just nothing like a new pair of shoes! I needed a black pump (these are J. Crew’s “Falsetto”)…but these have a little something extra, no? Sorry; these lovelies are sold out!
Best-dressed: Super Bowl XLVIII
Y’all know when Broadway Joe shows up, he shows out! Yesterday was no exception, as the University of Alabama grad appeared at the Super Bowl to handle the coin toss before the face-off between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. Today we honor Mr. Joe Namath’s sartorial choices with a look at the very best of his winter style statements. We do love our fur coats!
And warm wishes to everyone in Birmingham who survived last week’s “light dusting”….bring on Spring!

Or is there?
I’m ashamed to admit I’ve shopped while sad, hurt or angry, and it always leads to mayhem either in my budget or closet or both. And the temporary high I’ve experienced in these moments never lasts. Shopping while overjoyed can sometimes have the same effect as well, as I might enthusiastically talk myself into something that’s really a bad fit, style-wise. So I try not to use retail therapy too often – although sometimes there’s just nothing a new pair of shoes can’t cure. Le sigh.
What about you?
If I have to explain to you why Rihanna’s AMAs hairstyle is a haute mess, you’re reading the wrong blog. Ladies and gentlemen, never appear in public – or accept an award – in a doobie wrap, rollers or bedtime head scarf of any sort.
I don’t care how bedazzled they are.
Best dressed: Regina Hall in Lorena Sarbu
We are in absolute love with this candy apple red lace jumpsuit Regina Hall rocked at The Best Man Holiday premiere in Hollywood. There’s something so 1970’s-glam about a jumpsuit, and they’re so easy to wear! The peekaboo lace accent, proportions and color are just right in this pick form Lorena Sarbu’s Resort 2014 collection.
Be sure to check out The Best Man Holiday as it opens in theaters nationwide tonight. I saw it earlier this week at a Power 102.1 sneak preview, and without giving away any details I’ll just say I loved it! I think it’s what The Big Chill may have meant to a previous generation.
Magic City Classic do’s (and please don’ts)
Be sure to check out SCDD’s own Alexis Barton on AL.com talking (and modeling) fashion graciously provided by Belk for this weekend’s Magic City Classic face-off between Alabama A&M and Alabama State Universities! Click HERE to read the article! Alexis’ hair was styled by Kiera Grey-Nelson and James A. Adams at Renovare Salon in Vestavia Hills. And that awesome vampy lippie you see is the Guerlain goody I mentioned in THIS post.

Style Rule No. 1
The first rule?
NEVER apologize for being stylish. In fact be unapologetically chic or fly. Natural hair or weave, sneakerhead or stiletto addict, denim dynamo or pencil skirt aficionado (or all or none of the above) – own your personal style aesthetic and never feel obligated to apologize for it.

C is for Chic
Feeling a little nostalgic today as the kids head back to school? I don’t have children, but I certainly miss “back to school” shopping each summer! And there’s no reason why we can’t update our own wardrobes with items sure to make the grade. My shopping list always included items to mix and match: new kicks (sneakers for gym class and a pair for “fun”), a few pairs of slacks and denim, at least one cozy sweater and a snazzy bookbag; below you’ll find looks for the diva who’s still schoolin’ life.
