Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere posted about these scalloped shorts and I am trying to talk myself out of buying them. They can be purchased online at Queen’s wardrobe.
Umm, can I say “right up my alley”?

Madewell – I love that they have a shoppable website now!
Anthropologie – It’s so hard to go wrong…
I have been inundated with new and intriguing things all day today! I am so excited to share…
A yummy new sushi place in Fayetteville: Meiji. Their spicy crab salad ($5) changed my life today! They use only fresh ingredients – mostly local – and are very reasonable!

Adorable pieces from Maude Shoppe, most under $100!




A very cute new blog: Harper and Harley

A really exciting workout recommendation. The Brazilian Butt Lift. It’s by the same people as P90x. Apparently the models use it to get in shape before runway shows. Is this worth trying?


Two SUPER cute guides to NOLA. I love them because they are recommending places that are actually great. I know because I’ve been to them! The Perty South and The Comeback Kid. Seriously, who doesn’t love New Orleans?

A little inspiration because I wear black in the summer.
