Shorts story
Can you tell what my summer style staple is? Whether they are embellished, floral, edgy, brightly patterned or basic boyfriend cutoffs, shorts are in my style arsenal! Dressed up with a killer stiletto or dressed down with wedges or even a sneaker, I’ll be rocking some version of short pants this season.
Clockwise from top: J. Crew tiki short, $65; J. Crew desert floral short, $89.50; destroyed boyfriend short, Victorias’s Secret; French Connection silverweed silver mini shorts, $68.24 at Bluefly.com, Wyatt faux leather pleated short, $55.89 at Bluefly.com
What are you looking forward to wearing this summer?
And since it is Throwback Thursday:
Trend to try: knuckle rings
‘Sly as a Fox’ gold knuckle ring, $12 at Lulus.com
Darlings, knuckle rings (AKA ‘midi’ rings) are a bandwagon I’ve been slow to get on, because I generally go ring-less. However, once I saw this foxy (!) ring on Lulus.com, I was ready to climb aboard. Have you tried adoring your fingers with one or more of these delicate rings that rest just above your knuckles? Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Francesca’s and Lulu’s all have super cute, budget-friendly options that allow you to rock the look without breaking the bank! Which is great, because this is not a trend I would go too crazy trying. One well-placed midi ring will provide just enough sass for me.

Sweat is just fat crying.
Yes, I’m still #shredding. I decided to make this a “60 Day Shred” and am going through Workout 2 now. I’m down several pounds and inches and I’ve lost at least one dress size; I’ll share more definite numbers at the end of this shred cycle.
It doesn’t get any easier, but this provides plenty of motivation:
Which is a pretty good mantra for living, period, no?
Haute fun in the summertime!

#TBT: Did you shop here?
See any familiar stores? If you grew up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida or Louisiana in the last century, you should. These retailers (and their specialty brands, special sales, cafes and teen boards) are either gone with the wind or have long-since absorbed into major department stores such as Macy’s and Belk.
If you’re in the Birmingham area, a new face will soon be on the retail scene: Von Maur is tentatively scheduled to open November 2. And they’re hiring!
