We love a purchase to perk up our Monday…and we love sharing our recent obsessions with our belle-friends!!

A current obsession…this shoe in “of-the-moment blush”…


From Steve Madden via Nordstrom

And while it’s on SALE…why not try a color for next season…


And for you local Greenville belles, and immediate gratification, MUSE has these…

This Rebecca Minkoff at Muse is perfect for now and later!

And this Vince Camuto (again, at Muse) features that “easy-on, easy-off” zipper…’cause sometimes a belle can get impatient with all those buckles!!  Just sayin’

Obsessed yet?  Nothin’ better than a purchase to kick off the week!!

Over the last couple of weeks, we have shared some of our favorite gift-worthy items from retailers near and far.  Because time was on our (and your) side, we were focused on the lazy-belle way of shopping…online. Now that “the big day” is only a little more than a week away, we decided to scour local shops to find the very best they had to offer in the grab-n-go category (no sizes needed, easy to wrap – or have wrapped – and not too hard on the wallet).  

  
 From Muse Shoe Studio…where the selection goes far beyond shoes…

hair ties in the form of jewelry to adorn that ever-present ponytail (in our case). $6 individually-$44 for the set (from “by Lila”)

  

a huge selection of Hobo wallets

scarves galore

  

“BootKeepers” to protect that investment

  

these sets of studs will suit young and old (and the multi-pierced)…$30 for the set

  

Morse Code bracelets (so clever)…$45

  

this Dolce Cabo faux-fur vest…just $98

 

  
From Gages… 

these Conditions are Perfect flasks make for perfect conditions…just sayin’

  

a conversation piece with a noble purpose…one belle-husband must have! ($135)

  

doesn’t every nest need a holiday scent right now?

  

for the teacher…for any belle on the go…we must all be prepared!

  

every belle likes to snuggle up…Lands Downunder can help

  

to help keep track of those keys…only $19.50

  

and back to always bein’ prepared…never know when you might have to have a Moscow Mule!!

 

  
From Twill…

an impressive selection of Graybill and Downs candles and body lotions…a scent to suit all noses

  

keep her ears fashionably warm…$75

  

quite a selection of blanket scarves

  

Baggu pouches…like butter…only $64

  

this edgy, pink Rebecca Minkoff…only $95

  

a large selection of Gigi New York…always a winner

  

keep her organized with these fun cosmetic bags…$45-$55

 

 
From Savvy …

assorted beanies to suit all tastes

  

what belle doesn’t need a fashionable hand??

  

oh-so-popular felt hats …$38

  

THE earring from Sheila Fajl…she needs multiple sizes, of course

a Melvin race to the elbow will make her happy ($27-$45)

a bargain of a tassel necklace…only $32…you can put every color in that stocking, just sayin’

  

and a brand-new shipment of blanket scarves…get ’em now…they go fast!

 

  
From Monkees of the West End…

 

oh-so-chic and earth-friendly “Sew Few” bags…made right here in Greenville!

  

every belle needs to stay fashionable…even in soggy weather (from the Fillmore)

  

Hunter boots and more Hunter boots…a no-brainer!

  

Furrrrrr vests…just yummy ($285-$335)

  

T Marie necklaces would make any belle happy

  

YOU get a Sylvia Benson…and YOU get a Sylvia Benson…wait for the screams

  

Ă¼ber-fashionable Daniel Wellington watches for him and for her!

Mary Kate & Ashley have scored with their Elizabeth and James line…she needs a piece (or two)

So…there’s your first installment of shoppin’ local. We’ll take a right on Main Street tomorrow!!

Ho, ho, ho!!

We are creatures of habit and both of us prefer a neutral palette in our wardrobe.    Grey in all of its many hues and tones is a key player in our closets. It holds its own monochromatically, embraces other neutrals beautifully, and handles any pop of color with ease.

Here are fifty or so of our favorite pieces in no order of preference….we adore it all!

flares, Hampden Clothing, JBrand, jCrew, nordstrom, Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, Rebecca Minkoff, Sea New York, shopbop, skirts, Stella McCartney, tibi, turtlenecks

Might be hard to imagine sweaters, booties and tights at the moment (the heat is beyond oppressive!) but it can’t hurt a belle to dream of cool, crisp fall days…and the wardrobe to go with them!  We have been keeping our eyes peeled for the latest and greatest (and most wearable) fall fashion trends to keep us all on the ready. Our favorite stores are opening boxes daily with new fall goodies…here are a few to watch for:

Flirty, fun hemlines…


The Tibi “car wash” skirt…available at Shopbop

A-line minis…

The Rebecca Minkoff “Mel” skirt…available at (Nordstrom ( imagine black tights, booties and a turtleneck)

Chunky knits…

   

Proenza Schouler wool and cashmere…also available at Nordstrom


Chunky on top, flowy on bottom…from Sea New York, available at Hampden Clothing

The high-rise flare…

J Brand lambskin (be still my heart)…available at Shopbop


From Stella McCartney…to make the legs look a mile long! (Shopbop again)

And the bootie is here to stay in a big way…

We are loving the Rag & Bone “Harrow”…available at Nordstrom….


…and we purchased the “Dixon” at Hampden Clothing

We have so much more to share…this just gets the fall ball rolling. Pace yourselves, belles!

Happy shopping!
