November's Favorite Things

We are a two weeks into November and I am just getting around to posting about my favorite things this month! It amazes me that we are so close to Christmas already!! Some of these favorites are under $20 and be great gift ideas :) Click on the blue words to send you to the website and see more on each item.


Big Knitted Scarf- Thank you SC weather for never being able to plan a week ahead of you. Monday of this week I was wearing a short dress with no leggings, and now today its a whopping 41 degrees outside! These fluffy knitted scarfs add a little something extra to any outfit and also keep you fashionable and warm!!! You can find them in many stores today for under $30, but check out websites online like Zulilly or H&M and score them for under $15 :)

Rodan+Fields Amp Roller & Night Renewing Serum- This interesting little tool has been called "Spanx for your face" by Ellen DeGeneres. The amp roller looks like a mini paint roller and contains tiny needles that open your pores so that your skincare can really sink into your skin! Most people who use the Amp Roller on top of their favorite R+F regimen see results faster. The Night Renewing Serum is applied after you roll and will leave your face feeling like velvet! I used the Amp Roller 6 nights of the week along with the Reverse to get these amazing results! AMP ROLLER
Dark Lipstick- There is something about wearing lipstick that makes me feel better about myself. Maybe just because my teeth appear a little more white or my smile looks a little bigger, but I love it! I often switch between nude colors and bright red, but I have found a love for this dark red recently. I am not brand loyal when it comes to lipstick, but I bought Make Up Forever things for my wedding day and it worked perfect! MakeUp Forever Rouge Lipstick

Zoya Nail Polish- I change my nail color weekly! I don't know what it when I pick a color, but I find one better the following week and then have to paint them over again! This brand is comparable to OPI or Essie in colors and price. I found the color called Madeline a few weeks ago and automatically loved it! It's just enough pink but neutral for me :)

Philosophy Bubble Bath/Shampoo/Showergel- This stuff is so good, I would eat it if I could! Their 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel & bubble baths offer a head-to-toe cleansing experience that lets you treat yourself without the calories. The irresistible scents are hard to choose a favorite, but I personally love their Eggnog during this time of year. They even include the recipe for each scent on the front of the bottle :) They have so many scents including cinnamon bun, vanilla birthday cake, pink frosted animal cracker & Christmas cookie! Their 16 oz bottle is $17.00, but you can score smaller sizes for as low as $6.

Fun print fleece lined leggings- I used to judge girls that wore leggings as pants. Now I do it every day I can! During the colder months, my favorites outfits are leggings and oversized sweaters with a fun scarf. These fun leggings now come in more colors and prints! And many of them are lined with fleece inside to keep you every warmer in these cold months. You can find most for under $30 in department stores. Altar'd State is one of my favorite store and has them for $29.95 Tribal Print Legging

Floppy Hat- Love Love Love! I kept seeing girls wear these hats, but I didn't think I could pull it off. Finally I came across this one at Altar'd State. I have worn it multiple times a week since I got it and always get complements :)  Altar'd State Floppy Hat for $20.

Tom's Leopard Wedges- Leopard is the new neutral! This fun print goes with most anything. I especially love these because I feel good when I buy from Toms because of their One for One trade which gives a pair of shoes to children in need. Leopard Toms These specific shoes were $99 but they have the same print in a lace up bootie for $89.

Stretchy Bangles- Of course I had to include some of the stretchy bangles I have been making! I make them in all colors and most include three small crosses or a large pearl. I have been stacking them along with all my other bangles and they all look great together :) Check them on Facebook, Instagram or the blog. All are only $12. A Southern Touch Blog

October's Favorite Things

I can not believe that we are already in the second week of October 2014!! Where has this year gone?! I have finally got together my favorite things for this month :)


Kate Spade Bangle- I picked up this fabulous bracelet at the New NordstromRak in Greenville! It's definitely in my everyday stack now!

Two Faced Eyebrow Kit- You all know that I do not wear a lot of makeup, but I have been trying a few new things like contouring and filling in my eyebrows. After using this kit once, I would recommend it to anyone! Another one of my NordstromRak finds :) I picked up this little love box for $11 vs the regular price of $39!! What a steal!

Ally B Boutique Monogrammed Boots- Last month, Stuart and I ventured to Tallahassee to watch Clemson play FSU. We drove down Friday afternoon and stayed the night in Thomasville, GA since its just a short drive out of Tallahassee. We got brunch the next morning a did a little shopping before heading to the game, and I could not believe this fantastic find! Stu bought me this perfect pair of boots for under $70 including the monograms and shipping cost!

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread- White girls love their Pumpkin Spice!! This time of year, I get extra excited about lighting candles around the house and making coffee because it's always pumpkin spice flavored :) I love a good pumpkin bread and Trader Joe's has the perfect box mix to make your own! I made this for the tailgate last weekend, and it got eaten up quickly!

OPI Nail Color- Going My Way or Norway? - My nails are currently pink for Breast Caner Awareness, but this gorgeous color is coming next! A light toned sandy brown creme polish that's just about light enough to be a nude but still has some color and richness to it.  A nice, tame color for the season.

Biltmore Malbec- While we were on my bachelorette party, my girls and I went to a wine tasting at The Biltmore. Most Biltmore wines are sold in local grocery stores, but there are a select few that they keep special for Biltmore goers only! This Malbec wine is one of them! I am not usually a fan of red wine, but in this case, I quickly changed my mind :) I have tried other Malbec wines since then, but haven't found any this delicious!

Aztec Sweater- I am all about some Aztec print this season! I picked up a loose open Aztec sweater from TJMaxx for just $20! I love the one I pictured above though because of all the colors :)

September's Favorite Things

I can't even believe we are already working our way through the first week of September! This month is one of my favorites because it is the start of Football Season! I already have almost everything together for our tailgate this weekend and can't wait to decorate our table with lots of cutesy gifts we received from the wedding. I've put together of some of my favorite items and products this month so far for you to check out!
 
These are a few of my favorite things...  you're probably humming that song now :)


Jack Rogers $128
Momma got me these Jack's for my birthday this past year and I have gone very days since not wearing them. They are much comfier than the regular style Jack Rogers because they don't have the extra piece below your heel that rubs! I love the simple circle design on top too :)

Stella and Dot Bracelet $39
I love this bracelet that I purchased a few months ago at Ashley Baker's trunk show! It goes great with so many of my bauble bangle stacks.  If you would like to order for Stella & Dot and don't have a current rep, make sure to look up Ashley!!

Starbucks White Chocolate Frappuccino $5
I believe that this will always be my most favorite Starbucks drink! Stuart doesn't support my coffee habit and definitely not here because he said they have a group of followers that will do anything for Starbucks... I may or may not love it that much!

ZTA Cup $10
I love ZTA and especially this time of year because it's recruitment for many of our chapters! I'll be helping the Upstate Zeta girls this weekend and could not be more excited to see them expand their chapter with wonderful new Zeta Babies :) Want one of these cups, or something similar?! Just ask! Lets get you one made!

Vaseline Lip Therapy $2
My bf Will Talley got me hooked on this goodness shortly before he left for basic training in July. Since then, I have gone through two of these babies! Not only are they super cute because they are tiny but they actually make your lips feel wonderful! You can find them at your local drugstore for under $2.

Rodan+Fields Foaming Sunless Tanner $24
Let's all admit now that most red heads don't tan, they freckle... but with this stuff, I am always tan when I want to be! I like it much better than a lotion sunless tanner because the foam doesn't leave you feeling moist and dewy! (no one wants that feeling!) It's easy to apply, but do make sure you wash your hands after applying or they will turn orange! If you want to order some, let me know because I can get you a discount!

Lilly Pulitzer 17 month Agenda $25
Ok so $25 is a lot in my opinion for a calendar, but it was Lilly, and I just HAD TO! I monogramed mine, and wrote all the dates I have so far within a few hours of purchasing my own! Lilly agendas come with fun stickers, a little pocket for extra papers, and a list of important dates to remember throughout the year!
