Finding a great gift for the man in your life is never easy whether he be your father, son, brother or significant other.
All belles love seeing a man in a tuxedo, so what better way than a unique and divine accessory for the man of the hour. Let’s give the boys a chance to show off for a minute.
May we suggest Feather bow ties from Brackish. These handmade bow ties are amazing and will make any man proud as a peacock.
We think they make great birthday, Father’s Day, graduation, or “just because” gifts.
Our favorites are :
The Bobwhite Quail feather bow tie
and last but not least…
All available at Kevins Catalog and locally in Greenville at Rush Wilson Limited.
So treat the men in your life to a little style update, belles!

Time for some new Hater Blockers.
It’s a belle’s way of saying “do not disturb”…
A twist on the classic Ray Ban from one of our favorite websites Shopbop…
We feel much better already!

While working and learning at The Southern Coterie Summit in Charleston, we belles needed a perk up to keep up. Thankfully, there is no shortage of shopping in this beautiful city!
We both found plenty of perk-worthy purchases to be had at one of our all-time favorite boutiques, Hampden Clothing.
One of our first purchases was a crisp off-the-shoulder blouse by Tibi. The best part about this shirt is the flattering length and the fact that you can easily where a bra with it. Bonus!
Via Hampden Clothing
Of course, we needed bottoms to go with this blouse…and lo and behold, of course Hampden Clothing was happy to provide in the form of this Theory Pant.
Via Hampden Clothing
The perfect amount of stretch, a pull-on skinny that holds you in without cutting off your circulation. Let’s be honest, no one wants to feel like they’re in a sausage casing!!
The finish is classic and it holds its shape. A must-have addition to your wardrobe!
Now, obviously…a belle’s outfit is never complete without an accessory or ten…just sayin.
With tassels trending so tremendously, we had, had, had to have these fabulous earrings.
Via Hampden Clothing
Dreamy, colorful yet a neutral, lightweight…these are the perfect addition to make your outfit “next level” !!
Put it all together…
…and you have a happy belle!!
And of course, why do when you can overdo?? We just had to have this dress…
Via Hampden Clothing
Flattering, easy, and not only can it be worn as a tunic or a dress but it can be worn with the buttons in the front or back. Double bonus!!!
All perked up now…try it, belles!!

Although we tend to subscribe to the belief that every day is Mother’s Day, we don’t think that should stop anyone from remembering Mom with a little something special on the actual designated day…just sayin’.
Here are some of the items that we use/wear/think about daily. If you know of a deserving mom…we think she might enjoy them as well…
We have harped on these several times before, so perhaps it’s time to take the hint…
The all-weather gold bangles from BuDhaGirl will set mom off on the right foot every morning with her nine intentions for the day, and thoughts of gratefulness at night. Stylish and zen all at once…score!
For stylish hydration on-the-go…
we both keep our S’well bottles handy. We mentioned them here and here before. Just wondering if you were listening?? We happen to know that they are available locally at Monkees in Greenville. Now you have no excuse.
For the fitness-minded mom…
As we have noted here and here and here and here (you get the drift), we would bet she will enjoy one of these little beauties from Bezels and Bytes for her FitBit Flex.
For the mom-chef…
She can take a culinary virtual tour of Jerusalem with this beautiful cookbook
For the mom with the sweet tooth (um…is there a mom without one??)
this Sugarfina bento box from Saks should do the trick. Read all about other Sugarfina treats (and our little visit to heaven) right here.
For her home, sweet home…
this pretty little candle will spruce things right up.
And for all of the goodies she can’t leave the house without…
This tote might even hold the kitchen sink! One of our absolute faves, you can get it here from ShopBop, or one of our local haunts, Twill.
Happy shopping, belles (or belle-daughters, sons, husbands…)

We love this fresh opinion on cultural appropriation. She has humor and a wonderful spirit. There are a few swear words…can’t say we didn’t warn ya…
Please make Pancakes….that’s an order. They will taste better if you wear…
… these….just sayin…
And then suit up in this…
to work it all off…just sayin’
Belles are ringin’!!

The other day our very own Ole Miss re-belle suggested we take a look at her new favorite activewear line, Splits59. She liked the designs and styles so much that she used her own money to make a purchase. Unheard of y’all, it must be love!
This is her favorite style

Available at Shopbop.
After a lil research , we also fell in love with the goods and our most favorite was this Edgy style
From Shopbop
Nothing like a new pair of leggings to get you back on the fitness train!!
