To be raised in the south is a privilege. It means many things, but to me it has meant a love of all things preppy and classic, Lilly, Pearls, bows, ribbons, and the color pink. Graciousness is key, and one never leaves home without a little make up.

Meet Charlie!!


Charlie, or Charles Von Kittah the third

Charlie found Michael's brother Brian last friday on the campus of his university.  He was friendly as can be and Brian knew he had to find him a home!  The boys of his apartment fed him hot dogs and spaghetti until I could come get him this past wednesday.  By the time I got home to our apartment I knew I was in love.  Without a carrier he rode the whole way on my lap, just looking out the window...When Michael walked up to the car when we got home he meowed and put his paw on the window!  

He's been a precious addition to our life, insisting on sleeping on our bed, staying glued to my side whether I'm sitting on the couch or making dinner... In fact he's beside himself meowing when he doesn't know what I'm doing!!

Expect many more pictures of this fabulous feline!  He's in my opinion quite the preppy kitty.  He may be a bit on the lean side now, but he's adjusted rather quickly to the luxurious life we're offering him, he even walks away from his food now...  I think if he was a person he'd be rather refined.  A drinker of fine scotch, a fantastic tennis and squash player and inclined to wear silk robes... Oh yes.

Goodbye for now ladies, I knows you loves me already so don't worry I will be back very soon.  I am so sexy like Sean Connerys.

It's been a while...

It's certainly been a while since I've thought about Blogging... various excuses can explain this I suppose, not feeling well for long periods of time tends to keep one from thinking of doing "Fun" things... never the less, here I am!  Other than being sick life's been pretty good, I bought a new car a few weeks ago which has been such a nice change for me (I drive around 50 miles a day on average).  It's worth it to have a car you like and enjoy driving, really makes a day so much more pleasant!  I'll have to post some photos of it :)
Oh and I finally got an IPHONE!  How I lived life without it is a mystery to me...

Also, the fact that Lilly only makes cases for IPhone is part of my happiness with the phone too, I won't lie.  Makes me smile every time I pick up the phone!!!  But anyway, enough about all this, on to some preppy style for the colder weather that has finally made it's way to NC.  First are some looks I like, then some looks I'm rocking myself.

I'm like the sweater selection (some) at LL Bean Signature.  I've yet to order anything from then yet due to price, but there may be some items going on my X-Mas list this year!!

Liking this Plaid skirt!  Paired with a turtleneck could be adorable for holiday parties!  Very cute, I need to find something similar very soon!

Seems Like a warm and festive top to wear around the holidays.

This is a cute bag to tote around while traveling!  

Personally there's a few go to looks I adore for winter:

VESTS.  I adore vests, I especially love these ones from LL Bean (this one and a brown one) and at 29.95 they are very reasonable and I will probably order two more because I'm always wearing them.  I get cold often but find that Jackets needs to be removed more often then a vest... Also they layer so well!  I love them.





And TURTLENECKS!!!  Again, my cold naturedness loves a nice turtleneck.  With a vest layered over the turtleneck with a long necklaces and a headband worn with jeans and my beloved Clarks wallabees I'm ready to take on any chilly casual setting!  Love it :)

Hopefully it won't take me so long to blog again...
