I'm back!

Blogging is hard...

Ok not really but kind of. You have to do your makeup, hair, nails and then find a location and then ask/force someone to take pictures of you (awkward) and then blog about said pictures. It got boring quickly and I felt bad asking anyone I was with to take pictures of me so I can post it on my blog and try and get #instafamous. But...after being gone for so long I missed it. I missed telling my story about my business, outfits I love and my life in general. So thanks for still reading or reading if you are new! Here goes my second or maybe third attempt at being a #fashionblogger!

So yes, I own an online + mobile boutique with my friend & business partner Kendall. We are coming up on our second anniversary and honestly it feels like 10 years and 10 seconds all at once. We get to see all the latest fashions and trends and it is a dream job as well as being the most terrifying thing we have ever done...we own our own business at 25 and haul a 26 foot trailer...people doubt us before they even meet us! But anyways, along with seeing the latest fashions we also get to buy and keep our favorites (sometimes.) When we found this dress at MAGIC in Las Vegas (maybe I'll post about our Vegas trip because it was AMAZING) and I fell in love. This happens a lot of course, but we only keep things from our store if we know we will wear it and then in turn sell it...it is a business after all. So I HAD to keep this amazing midi dress. My husband and I recently bought patio furniture so it is my current favorite place to read a book, work from home and spend an evening (when it's not 100 degrees outside) so I knew I wanted to take pictures to show off one of my favorite parts of our house!

Yes my patio features a lovely view of a parking lot & the neighbors A/C unit but we can also see the street & sidewalk with all the people walking around our neighborhood and all the happenings. I love our little house in five points!

Roomie Date

I moved in with my friend Matisse when I moved back to Athens in five points and i love it! Technically when I lived in Tri Delt I lived in five points but i'm not counting that because I was a student + didn't take advantage of it. If/when I buy a house in Athens it will be in five points...I hope. Yesterday, Matisse & I decided to enjoy the nice weather & explore our neighborhood + use her new camera lens!

We made our way to Two Story for drinks & to sit on their porch, but there wasn't room so we headed to Condor Chocolates. Honestly because they have cute, insta worthy red table & chairs outside & ended up buying macarons (again, insta worthy.) But they were really good & condor is a fun little spot. We shared strawberry + lavender macarons, took pictures of our food & got asked if we were shooting a condor ad. I said yes.

Leave a comment if you think Matisse should start a fashion + cooking blog!

Outfit Details

I love love my flare jeans! I was nervous when this trend came back (flashback to middle + high school when I wore flared 7 jeans that I rolled at the bottom because they were too long! Yikes.) So to avoid high school flash backs, I wanted a pair that were super tight in the legs & super flared at the bottom. These are perfect and really high wasited + stretchy! My top is my favorite from Rolling Runway by Izzy & Lola. Unfortunately, we sold out of it but we have tons of new spring Izzy & Lola going online this weekend! I love cuff bracelets but my gold one I use to wear a lot is faded & old. I spotted this one at the mart in Atlanta and had to have it. I love the copper color (something I usually don't pick) & the amethyst druzy is perfect because it's my birthstone!

To Dye For

Tie dye is having a moment this summer and of course I had to jump on the trend. I really love to buy pieces that I can wear different ways and not get bored of & this is the perfect top for that! I loved wearing this tunic with white jeans but I also can't wait to try it with ripped jeans and denim shorts or as a bathing suit cover up. And maybe even with leggings in the fall! I have also been loving my gold sandals from dirty laundry. They are so comfortable and usually shoes styles like this are not comfortable to me and give me blisters, but not these! They are perfect to wear everyday but also dressy enough to wear out! I did order the wrong size at first because I was afraid they would be too tight but I exchanged them for a half size down, my true size, and they fit great!

Fancy Pink Friday

Fancy Friday is back with my first purchase from Rolling Runway! I'm a pink girl and I always have been, but I think pink looks so good on everyone during the summer. Especially bright pink! (But if you're not into pink, we also have it in black!) I wore it with my favorite SoulPepper necklace and new gold flats and it was the perfect outfit for work & then dinner. I have a feeling I'm going to be wearing this dress a lot this summer!

ATL Adventures

Hey y'all! Yesterday, I was in Atlanta on a buying trip for Rolling Runway at America's Mart. After a long, stressful but fun day we decided to walk to SkyView Atlanta to avoid rush hour traffic back to Athens and relax a little. I have been wanting to go to SkyView since it first opened and it was gorgeous seeing Atlanta from that view. Make sure to bring your student ID for a discount or there is a groupon for 2 tickets & chocolate that we regretted not purchasing after seeing the Russel Stovers box in the ticket booth. Maybe next time. I purchased this Show Me Your MuMu tank last week (on instagram) from a boutique in Atlanta last week and it was perfect for mart. It's so soft and flowy and perfect for when you want to be comfortable but still cute. The jeans I bought on recommendation from my BFF from target and the shoes are my summer staple flip flops from Francesca's. My feet didn't even hurt until the end of the day after we had already walked 10,000 steps. My bag I actually purchased at the mart in October from Golden Stella...if you ever get to go to the mart you have to go there to see the craziness and the insane amount of jewelry and accessories they have. Atlanta was so fun yesterday but today I am exhausted! Stay tuned to see all the cute things we purchased at mart!

Silvia

Meet Silvia, mine & Kendall's (my business partner) 1963 Airstream Overlander. We are renovating her into a mobile boutique named "The Rolling Runway" to sell women's clothing all over the southeast! You can read our story here! (Can you tell I'm obsessed with clothes yet?) We started selling prom dresses in the beginning (& still are) but we are actually going to the Atlanta Mart this week to buy for the rest of summer and fall. We are thisclose to being done and have been working on her every day! We hope to be done at the end of this month (pray for us y'all!) Also, Airstreams make really good selfie mirrors and I highly recommend buying one. #liveriveted

I bought this skirt this week when I was at TJ Maxx randomly and since I have been seeing black and white stripes everywhere {aka pinterest & instagram} I had to have it! I loved wearing my rain boots with it and Silvia makes them look even brighter!

Feelin' Crabby

Last week, I ate at Preserve on Broad Street for the first time and I'm not going to lie...I mainly wanted to go because of the beautiful crab mural on the outside of the building. So I made my boyfriend meet me there so we could eat (& take pictures) and we loved the food! This blog might slowly turn into a food blog, but I don't hate it. I had the doublestack burger and it might be one of the best I've ever had! I'm definitely going back for brunch to have the chicken and waffles soon. The owner was so nice and informative and the building is so cute and unique. It's a small restaurant but those are the best in my opinion!

But back to fashion...All of these pieces are my go to pieces when I want to look put together but don't know what I want to wear. I purchased this skirt from Francesca's last fall and have worn it every season! It just goes with so much and is really easy to throw on and it's very comfortable. My tank top is from Forever 21 last summer and it is also one of those tanks that goes with anything and everything. My shoes are also my "go to" for whenever I want to dress up a little. And I LOVE these sunglasses my best friend bought me. They might not be everyone's style but they are so fun to wear and life's too short to not wear heart shaped sunnies, right?

TGIFF: Thank God It's Fancy Friday

It's Fancy (Show Me Your MuMu) Friday y'all! Seriously I'm obsessed with this brand. Everything they make, I want. It's a problem. I might have even bought one of their new tanks today. My other obsession is matching two piece sets. This is a top/skirt combo and looks great together or separate. Or maybe thats just how I justified buying both, who knows. Happy Friday y'all!

Summer Style

During the summer, I pretty much ONLY wear dresses. It's just too hot for pants in Georgia during June, July & August (and mostly September & October too.) My dress is from Francesca's, which just opened in Athens & they have great summer clothes and prices. I purchased my handbag in March from Head Over Heels (Macon, Ga) on instagram as my "summer bag" and haven't used another handbag since. Big Buddha is one of my favorite handbag brands for nice but affordable bags. My first Big Buddha bag was hot pink and quilted and honestly, I wish I still had it. My necklace is a custom piece by my friend Haley at SoulPepper Designs. It is two coins I brought back from Europe last summer and makes me want to go back every time I wear it!

Date Night

I worked on Saturday & then walked down the street with my boyfriend to a new restaurant called The Table for dinner. The Table has really great food at a good price and this nice ivy wall that you can make your boyfriend take pictures of you in front of! I think he's pretty good at being my new personal photographer.

Check out The Table if you live in Athens!

First Post: Fancy Friday!

Hello & welcome to my first fashion blog post! I'm a recent UGA fashion merchandising grad just trying to be insta famous. I am starting a blog in my spare time while also opening/renovating a mobile boutique. To see that part of my life check out www.rollingrunway.com!

Even though I "dress up" most days, I like to make sure I'm fancy on Fridays because that's when the store has the most customers. I love white jeans for the summer and anything Show Me Your MuMu, add wedges and jewelry and I call it fancy!
