INSTANT OUTFIT: OVERALLS.

There is nothing better than those pieces in your closet that can be an instant outfit for running out the door with very little effort. Overalls are one of my favorites. You guys know I love a jumpsuit, same idea. This pair is from Express, but I've linked to several similar ones below. I also just snagged this black pair from Nordstrom and cannot wait to wear them. I have zero chill when it comes to pieces I like and tend to snap them up in every color. I once counted 27 rompers in my closet. Is there a hotline for that type of sickness?

FALL FAVORITES REVISITED.

Fall is here! (Sort of?) It's still hot in Atlanta, but it's coming and you can already feel it in the air. I love this time of year (typical, I know), but it really is the best. Plus, my birthday will be here soon. What's not to love? I wanted to revisit a few of my favorite looks from last year, because let's be honest, who can afford to buy brand new everything every single year? Not me, no matter how hard I wish for it in my Pinterest closet.

MEL BOTERI BAG REVEAL.

Happy Monday, my Gilties! I was literally jumping out of bed this morning with excitement to share my bag design with you guys! Ok, I may have fake cried a little when my alarm went off and then snoozed 3-7 times, but it was so warm in there. Sue me.
When we were mapping out this baby bag, I knew she would be beautiful, but the real deal is here and it is beyond. Beyond, beyond. Softest leather I have ever felt & it is so versatile too! Just look. Look now.

OVERSEAS IN OVERALLS.

Oh BONJOUR, babies! I'm baaack! So sorry for this little hiatus, but I was lost in a world of croissants, chateaus and VERY little wifi. Once I realized I could actually live without constant access to Instagram, it was glorious. So as expected, Europe was absolutely incredible. I have never been anywhere half as magical, and getting to experience all of it with my man leading the way made it that much more unbelievable.

One of my favorite things about the people in both London & Paris, across the board, was their total commitment to wearing whatever the heck they wanted without caring what anyone thought. You can literally wear anything and everything and no one will look at you twice. I love that about bigger cities. In the South, it is the total opposite, but we make up for it with tons of free parking, Country music and more sunshine.

I took this as an opportunity to wear the heck out of my overalls. Honestly, I take any opportunity to wear my overalls. They were perfect for the Paris weather and were super comfy while walking hundreds of miles around the city. I paired mine with a crop top (obsessed with this look) and Steve Madden block heels. Oh, ya wanna see? Good thing I have 1.7 million photos to share.

And this was just ONE afternoon. Seriously, trip of a lifetime. The good news is, Paul can never leave me because I'll be indebted to him for about the next 37 years. Kiddinggg…sort of.
