We been having a serious love affair lately with J Brand lately. Their fits are consistent, their style classic and their variety makes sure that there is something for everyone.

Our latest purchase was this Jean.

We are huge fans of wearing white denim all year round, and the lace on the bottom of these with its slightly creamier tone will make this is a go-to pair.

The best part ??? THEY ARE ON SALE !!!!

Now we really need your help. If anyone out there knows who makes the shoes in the photo will you please let us know? We are dying to have these, so if you can find them, we’d be ever so grateful!!

To celebrate two years of this blogging business…and nearly 400 posts (yes, we have hit quite a milestone)…we thought it would be fun to list our favorite – and most talked about – posts (’cause we are really, really sweet, and we all need gentle reminders of stuff we need to do, buy, make, read…)

In the #belleicious category:


First up…The French Poodle Vinaigrette. This salad dressing is a constant in our homes. If you haven’t tried it, what are you waiting for?


Remember our foolproof Tenderloin recipe?  You’re welcome 😉

Belles love barbecue…and grandmother’s BBQ sauce is the gold standard…

IMG_3908
This roasted okra puts a tasty spin on a veggie favorite…

IMG_3909
And in other “eat your veggies” news…you must try this tomato pie…

Seems to be all about the kale lately…this kale salad is a winner every time…


And if we are gonna splurge on dessert, it better be worth it. These salted caramel blondies do not disappoint!
Some #fashionabelle reminders:

White jeans…yes, you can wear them after Labor Day!

Aquatalia boots…you won’t believe the comfort, style and practicality!  Every one is a real belle-ringer…


For the mindful belle…these BUDHAGIRL bangles totally make the cut…

For the belle-maison:

 

Remember when we suggested Perennials outdoor fabrics?  Well, they are still our go-to for beautiful, durable upholstered pieces!


We are still all about acrylic pieces to bring a little light to a room…


And this fretwork from FretworkDesigns is still one of our favorites…
And, last…but not least…for the belle-on-the-go:

We still start every day with The Skimm (and some giggles)..we encourage you to do the same


And we keep track of our running around with our FitBit Flex, made über-stylish with our Bezels and Bytes bracelets…


And there you have ’em, belles…our faves so far!

Here we go again, belles, with our latest and greatest finds…

You can’t beat this velvety option for defining that lip.

As the temperature and humidity rise, we are less inclined to feel constricted. This is a great alternative. And pretty to boot!

Must. Have. This. Book.

Want sooo bad.

For our denim collection, these and these.

We want to serve cocktails on this.

A great tee.

The Ultimate Summer Cocktail Guide.

It’s time to kick it up a notch on the grill!
More to come….

the final word on white before Easter…

Here it is….drumroll … yes, belles, you can and should wear white before Easter! White jeans that is. Some rules are made to be modified and this is surely one of them! Now, may we gently remind you we said modified and we said white jeans. Wearing white linen, cotton voile and the summer weight items must still maintain the shorter wearing season. Oh, and those white shoes (unless they are sport shoes) should be donated or tossed and never worn again…ever. Well, at least in our ever so humble opinion.

White jeans are denim. Denim can be worn year round. It’s the way you put it together that increases the wear of them. Booties and a turtleneck, boots and a sweater, pumps and a blazer, flats and a tee, sandals and a tank. Options are endless and just think how wearing white jeans all the time expands your wardrobe tremendously!!

Here are a few examples we pulled from Pinterest to motivate and tempt y’all:

We love our white jeans and keep several pair in rotation…washing is sadly more frequent with these.

And in anticipation of the approaching warmer weather…and Easter…here are some examples to take you on through the next season:

So go on…be daring, break the rules and hold your head up high!  Sport some white jeans and celebrate your fashion forward selves!!
