Sunday Social 6/23/13

        I had to call this post something, and it should be more like "Good Lord, where have I been?!"  Seriously, my only excuse can be that my life got in the way and I'm going to do better!  

       I figured what better way to get back into the swing of things than by joining Ashley and Neely for their weekly Sunday Social link up?  I love those ladies and they are great, so if you haven't already, check them out!!!

Here's the questions for this week:
1.  What is your favorite store to shop at?
I love Target, of course.  I also adore J.Crew, Nordstrom, Forever 21, Loft, and Anthropologie.  
2.  If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet?
I don't think I can say only one!  I love Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, Alice + Olivia, and anything by the late, great Alexander McQueen!!!

3.  What is your must-have closet staple?
A great pair of riding boots, skinny jeans and a classic blazer!

4.  What is your favorite kind of shoes?  (Brand or Type)
I live for anything by Frye.  They are great and super comfortable.   I'm already looking forward to fall so I can get my boots and leggings back out!

5.  What is the best clothing deal you have ever gotten?  (Sale or amazing find)
Can we just say that it happened very recently?  My mom finally handed over her awesome Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 from the late 80's.  It's literally in perfect condition and will be loved by me forever!  
Ahhhhhhh!

6. What is a style that you'd love to try?  
I'm loving all the fun printed pants I've seen all season!  Nothing screams summer like they do!!!  These from Nordstrom are pricey, but are great inspiration for your awesome look!!!

Sunday Social 12/2/12

This week's questions are all about our favorite parts of the Holiday Season!
1.  What is your favorite Holiday Season Tradition?
I love getting together with our family!  We always go to the Hanging of the Green that takes place the first Sunday in December and has a precious Christmas Program filled with adorable children dressed as lambs, cows, shepherds, wise men, angels and of course Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.  It always promises cute moments, whether the little lambs wander away or they sing at the top of their lungs, it is a great way to remember the excitement of children learning about our Savior's birth!
Here's a picture from last year's service.  

2.  Do you have a certain Holiday Movie you watch more than others?  If so, what is it?
We always watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation any time it's on television.  I own the DVD, but it's not the same.  The best part is Cousin Eddie and his Dickie drinking eggnog out of the moose mugs!  

3.  Show us your favorite decoration or Pinterest decoration you wish you could have.  

I decided that this year, I wanted to make a garland.  I had so much fun picking out all of my embellishments at Hobby Lobby...even with 50% off all the Holiday items, I did some damage!  It was so much fun to do, and I loved how it turned out!  

Here's how our tree turned out this year!  As you can see, Chandler was very excited with the results!

4.  What is your favorite Holiday song?

This is a hard one!  I love Eartha Kitt's version of 'Santa Baby' and anything by the Rat Pack is wonderful!

5.  What is your favorite Holiday dessert?

I love to bake and I've almost mastered the Chipped Walnut and Chocolate Chip Cheesecake...I've made them the last few holidays and have so much fun baking them while watching Christmas movies!  

6.  What's on your wishlist this year?

I can dream, right?  I am obsessed with these Deborah Studded tall boots from Frye!  Ahhh, they are amazing!

xoxo,

Lyndsey

Fall Inspirations

I don't know about you guys, but we're about to venture into my favorite time of the year!  We've already started College Football season and there is nothing better than spending a fun Saturday in Athens, GA between the hedges!  I love my Bulldawgs and wait to have some fun with all my friends!

Starbucks has brought back the wonderful Pumpkin Spice Latte, and it is like drinking a big cup of Autumn!  Ahhh...there is nothing better!  I got so excited the other day when it was cool enough to drink my morning coffee on my back porch!  I hear the weekend is going to be in the low 70's with no rain or humidity, so let's hope we aren't far away from some cool weather!

There's something about Fall that makes me want to create.  I've been adoring/stalking so many wonderful wreaths this summer, just so I can make a few to decorate and give to my friends!  I've had a bit of an addiction making felt flowers.  There are so many different techniques and styles, I just can't stop!  Hopefully I can get a DIY-post up in the near future so I can show you my finished wreath!  Here are a few that are so lovely, I hope they inspire you, too!

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday.  My brother and I always had so much fun dressing up as kids and going trick or treating with our cousins.  One of the best seasonal activities here in Atlanta, is the Oakland Cemetery Victorian Halloween Tour.  It's a wonderful candle-lit walking tour through the beautiful monuments with story telling about the famous "residents."  I encourage anyone who is in the city during the season to check it out!

The best part of all the cool weather is a great pair of boots.  There are so many that have already caught my eye, I don't know how I will ever choose!  Here are some looks I'm loving right now!
