Friday's Fancies - March Madness Edition, Go PACK!

 

Today I am linking up with {av} of {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies!! I haven't linked up in a long time, but I couldn't miss the chance to rep my Wolfpack today during her March Mardness theme today.  Below is the outfit I would be wearing all day long today to show my Pack pride!  We made it to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in years and after being treated like the ugly duckling in basketball for the past sevvvveral years on Tobacco Road from the Blues (UNC and Duke) I am SO PROUD of our basketball team and the success we've had this year! We've played with such heart and win, or lose, I am proud to be a State fan!  Have a great weekend and GO PACK!

Friday's Fancies - Gameday Chic

Today I am linking up with {av} of {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies.  The theme for this week is Gameday Chic!! This makes me very happy, I can't wait to see everyone's gameday looks!  Below is the outfit I would love to wear for our game tomorrow.  But the high for the day is supposed to be a whopping 63 degrees and raining (and then back in the 80s a few days later...) so I'll most likely be rocking jeans and my Hunter boots to this game.  That is a back view of that dress, how pretty is it!?!

Friday's Fancies

Today I am honored to have {av}, of {long distance loving}, guest posting for me!  Her blog was one of the first ones I found when I began blogging and we've been close every since.  I am off to Charleston for the weekend (woo hoo!!) and she has put together a fabulous and "very me" look in honor of my weekend in one of the most beautiful southern cities.  She picked an awesome one-shoulder dress  and even included Jack Rogers (she knows me too well...)  I really wish I had this whole ensemble packed in my bags...

 

Hi! My name is {av} and I couldn't be happier to grace the pages of Seashells and Southern Belles! I've come to know the lady behind this blog in the last year--and my life is so much better now that I have :) She's full of energy and always looks so daggone cute in all of her photos. In honor of her jaunt to South Carolina this weekend, I pulled together this snazzy outfit for a night out on the town...

1) In playing to Jana's favorites, I knew I had to find a knockout one shoulder dress--and I think this Tibi Paz Sequin-Embellished Asymmetric Silk Dress most certainly fits the bill! Since white is taboo for anyone's wedding but your own, you have to rock it elsewhere...and there's no better time than on a hot night out in the South!

2) Lauren Merkin makes phenomenal clutches and this Tatum Raffia Clutch is another prime example. It could hold most everything a girl needs with some summer sass to boot.

3) A little sparkle never did anyone harm, which is why I thought these Melinda Maria Teeny Pod Blue Topaz Bangles would be a fun addition to this get-up. The color of the topaz is subtle but works splendidly with the sequins in the dress!

4) Who can argue with Jack Rogers? I know Jana can't! These Marbella Espadrilles provide the perfect platform {pardon the pun!} for a boost in the height department. I could definitely use that ;)

5) Hello, Max & Chloe Double Natural Stone Earrings--I'm in love! I just can't get enough of this stunning stone called chalcedony. Their loveliness shines through and finishes off this outfit perfectly.

What would you include in your own Southern going-out get-up?

Have an incredible time in Charleston, Jana! I'm so jealous of the weekend you have ahead of you :) Give my love to each and every one of those bloggers I've come to love so much while you're there! {This is honestly just another sign that {cv} and I need to move South one of these days...sigh} Thanks again for having me here--happy weekend everyone! xoxo {av}

Friday's Fancies - Fancying Football

 

Today for Friday's Fancies with {av}, of {long distance loving}, I am jumping a few weeks ahead to my favorite season of the year... football season! Our inspiration this week for Friday's Fancies was the color red and with football season being three weeks away, I put together a look that I would love to wear for our first football game.  I WANT that dress!!

You may have noticed that I've been a little MIA on here. That has been for good reason.  I've been working on something new with my pal Ashton and will reveal it to you on Monday.  It may or may not have to do with one of my true loves in life. and I'm not talking about seashells, one-shoulder dresses, or french fries. So what does that leave.... perhaps the theme of my Friday's Fancies today?... You'll see on Monday. I can't wait to share it with you!

Friday's Fancies - Maxing Out Summer

This week for Friday's Fancies with {av} of {long distance loving} I am paying tribute to the maxi dress.  Although the 100 degree weather we have had here lately hasn't allowed me to wear one in a while, I love maxi dresses.  They are a simple and effortless staple for summer.  Although last year I was worried they had gotten "too" trendy and had ran their course, I think it's safe to say they are still in.  (Does anyone else remember the comment Blair Waldorf made on Gossip Girl about them..)

Although I'm sure you're all shocked to see that my look doesn't include anything nautical...I have been loving orange lately, so I love this dress.  I also LOVE these Jack Rogers and the Kendra Scott earrings. 

Here's to "maxing" out the rest of summer!  Only a few more weeks until FOOTBALL season starts!!!

 I am once again linking up with the lovely {av} of {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies!!   I have no idea what I'm doing this weekend and I am 100% excited about this.  This is the first weekend since the first week of June that I haven't had anything to do.  But if I do end up doing something fabulous this weekend, this is the outfit I would want to wear.

I am loving this blue top and coral starfish earrings together (I know, shocking...) 
And we all need to be rocking our white pants and shorts as much as possible in the next few weeks.  Whatever you do this weekend, I hope it's great!

Friday's Fancies - Lil Wayne Concert

Today for Friday's Fancies with {av}, of {long distance loving}, I went for a different look than you normally see from me, a little more edgier.  This is because....tonight...I will be....at the Lil Wayne concert!!! My sister got us boxed seats through her work and I am pretty pumped! I went two years ago with her and some friends and we had a blast.  I love rap and r&b just as much as I love country.  Blame it on the fact that I started taking dance when I was like 3 years old and learned to appreciate the bass and beats at an early age...

Below would my dream outfit for tonight.  I keep seeing J Brand colored jeans everywhere and have no idea if I could pull them off, but I would love to try.  and, of course, I had to throw in the seahorse necklace.  I think even he he has an edgy look!

Friday's Fancies - God Bless America!

Friday's Fancies with {av} this week is all about being patriotic!  I will be at the beach for the Fourth with the same friends I was with for Memorial Day so I'm going to go on out a ledge and say that it's going to be a fun time! I can't wait to do some boating, beachchombing, suntanning, socializing, and relaxing!

If money grew on trees, this would be an outfit I would wear this weekend.  I love that navy dress paired with the red Tom's!

I will also be on vacation with my family next week so my presence in the blogging world will be pretty slim. 

Thank you to our troops for everything you do!!

God Bless America!! and remember, freedom ain't free...

Friday's Fancies - 16

 

I'm linking up once again with {av} of {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies!  This weekend I am babysitting and on Saturday we are going to the pool, so I have put together a dream pool day look.  This might be a litttttttle lavish for babysitting, but hey, that's what Friday's Fancies is about right?!  I also can't wait to celebrate Father's Day with my dad on Sunday. I got him something he really wants, and he NEVER asks for anything or even wants anything. Should be fun!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
