Blue Jean Baby

August 17, 2016

Wow. These past two weeks have been absolutely insane! I travelled to Atlanta to work at the apparel market with Karlie Clothes, which is always an amazing experience. This was my fourth market to attend and definitely the busiest one that I have worked to date! Even though I have previously worked with Karlie, I continually learn more about their company and how the entire wholesale process works. From the beginning, I have said that I wanted to be a buyer for a retail company when I graduate college, but now I am really interested in being a rep for a wholesale company. So basically the opposite of what I originally thought! Regardless of what fashion merchandising job I pursue in the future, I know I have gained so much useful knowledge and some great tips to guide me in the right direction!

After I returned from Atlanta, recruitment started the very next day and lasted through this past Saturday. Rush Week is tough and exhausting, but I am beyond proud of my sisters and how well we came together! We received a phenomenal pledge class that I know will do wonderful things for Phi Mu and Mississippi State! 🙂

So if there is one fashion staple that NEVER goes out of style, it has to be denim. Denim shirts, denim jeans, and even denim skirts.. you can seriously style them a million different ways. My best outfit inspiration comes from searching (on Pinterest of course) how people styled timeless essentials, like denim, through the various decades! Ultimately, my favorite denim outfit is the light and dark denim pieces mixed for a cool contrast. I think it creates the perfect casual chic vibe with the right accessories! I am all about statement jewelry, so finding the right earrings, heels, etc. make the denim on denim look that much bolder. Shop my entire outfit through the links above. Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

The Best Summer Trend: All White Everything

July 25, 2016

Romper: Saks Off Fifth (unavailable) similar here and here | Shoes: Marc Fisher | Clutch: Big Buddha (unavailable) similar here and here | Necklaces: Authenticity Jewelry and Kendra Scott | Bracelets: David Yurman, J.Crew, Catherine Popesco, and Bangles (unavailable) similar here | Earrings: Material Girls | Ring: David Yurman | Nail Polish: Essie Blanc

Wow. Where has the summer gone?! I feel like I just came back home from college in May, and now I am about to move back to Starkville for my senior year. It doesn’t seem right! The time passes too quickly these days, but I cannot wait to see what the upcoming school year has in store for me. Between being the Campus Director for Curtsy at Mississippi State and running Sassy Southern Blonde plus everything else, I know my plate will be overflowing. But for that, I am blessed! The opportunities I have been given make me beyond grateful and excited for my future!

With the end of summer rapidly approaching, I find myself wearing more and more of my favorite summer color, white! (I know, what a shocker that it isn’t pink!) I know Labor Day will be rolling around soon, so I am taking full advantage of the few weeks I have left. I even painted my nails white for the hundredth time in the past few months. What can I say? White nails are my go-to polish! Thankfully, someone amazing invented a color called winter white, so I won’t have to go without it entirely until Spring! My outfit details are linked above, and I am also linking some of my favorite white dresses below! (If any of my links don’t work, feel free to comment and I will give you the info!)

Blue Romper and Pink Heels

July 21, 2016

July: Easily the hottest month of the year, but the end-of-summer sales make the heat a little more bearable! I think retail stores purposely plan all their sales during July because they know it’s too hot to do anything outside. So why not go shopping where the air conditioner is set at a cool 65 degrees or shop online from the comfort of your own AC?!

Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and the sales at local boutiques, my paycheck is being spent as fast as I can deposit it! I keep telling myself that I’ll save my next one, but it never happens quite like that.. Anyways, I have finally figured out how to semi-work my Canon Rebel camera, so I am excited at how well these pictures turned out! I found this pastel blue romper at Apricot Lane for 50% off.. I know, I couldn’t believe it either. The fabric has great quality and the color is beautiful!

I linked an exact replica of the romper here! I am also linking two more that are similar here and here. I paired it with hot pink Jessica Simpson pumps (similar here) and my pink RayBans (here). I am wearing Mac lipstick in Candy Yum Yum. My Kendra Scott bracelet and earrings are no longer sold, but similar ones here and here.

PS: Don’t forget that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale goes live to the public tomorrow. YAY! They always restock merchandise that sold out during Early Access, so this is your second chance for some of the hottest pieces of the fall!

A Blog Makeover + Two Piece Sets

July 18, 2016

As y’all can probably tell, Sassy Southern Blonde received a makeover during the weekend! YAY! Even though it was a lot more work than I ever thought, I am beyond happy with the results. I wanted to choose a theme and layout that really reflected the brand I want my blog to have. So obviously, the theme with the most pink won!

This weekend was pretty relaxing, and I probably spent too much time watching Netflix.. (I’m on season 6 of Mad Men.. love it!) I know that once I move back to Starkville, I will be super busy, so I’m taking advantage of my empty schedule right now! My best friend Karly and I are moving into the CUTEST pink house in the Cotton District, which is a popular area for students at Mississippi State. So my mom and I bought a few finishing touches for my bedroom last night. Unfortunately we do not have a HomeGoods, but we have an At Home, which is amazing! I found the softest white rug for my room (I’ll probably regret this later) and a gold mirror for my desk (that I’m turning into a vanity). I’ll have to do an apartment tour post soon because it’s pretty adorable! I’m kind of partial though 🙂

So anyways, summer is definitely my favorite time of the year because I love all the bright colored clothing that stores are selling and people are wearing. Plus, tassels came in hot last year, and I was ecstatic to know they were returning in full force this year! (I probably would have worn them regardless, though) When I found this trendy striped tassel set at Material Girls, I knew it was coming home with me. Did I mention I also buy an obscene amount of two piece sets?! Anyways, I could not resist buying it. The top is sold out, but there are a few sizes left in the shorts here. I’m linking a few similar sets here, here, here, and here! My purse is here and my shoes are Jeffrey Campbell “Rodillo-Hi” Wedge at Nordstrom!

Viva Las Vegas

July 14, 2016

My friends and I travelled to Las Vegas this past weekend, and we had such a fab time! We literally left Laurel at 3 in the morning to make our 6am flight in Gulfport.. But, it worked out perfectly because we got an extra day in Las Vegas to explore! We stayed at the Cosmopolitan and I HIGHLY recommend it if you ever travel there. The Cosmo is a trendy hotel and casino that is walking distance to the Bellagio and Planet Hollywood. We preferred to use Uber to go to Caesar’s Palace, though, because it was a little further than we were willing to walk in the desert heat!

Hands down, the best part of the entire trip was getting to see Britany Spears perform! Her show is an absolute must on your Vegas vaca. It was such a throwback to my childhood, and I loved every minute of it. Before the show started, we ate at this delicious sushi resturant in Planet Hollywood called Koi with some of the best sushi we had ever eaten.

We found out pretty quickly that you can only handle Las Vegas in small doses, so a weekend was just the right amount of time! As my friend Parker said, “It was the most extravagant, fun place I only want to do once!” (I could not agree more)

Of course I saved my favorite outfit for Britney, so I’m attaching the pics in it below. I had purchased this romper from Swoon boutique a couple of months ago and was saving it for the perfect moment. When we planned our Vegas trip, I instantly knew it was the first thing I was going to pack! Although Swoon is sold out of the romper, I did find it on another website here! I am also linking similar rompers that I love here, here, and here! My necklace is from Quarter Century and my shoes are sold out, but linked are similar black heels I love that are reasonably priced here and here!

XOXO
