Things I'm loving!

Things I'm loving! by thissouthernprep featuring longchamp handbags

Just a few things I find myself often drooling over... the Louis is VERY far off, but I'm seriously wanting a wallet, a new longchamp and a kate spade watch. WISH I had a birthday coming up!!  But for now as a grown up lady, I must choose what to save for, and then be patient!!!

Kate Spade Earrings

My newest obsession would have to be earrings.  For years I have faithfully worn my pearl studs almost every day.  They are casual, and dressy.  I even have an over-sized pair, and two colored pairs (black and gray).  Then came my wonderful Tiffany bow earrings from my Fiance this past valentine's day.  Finally, a pair of earrings I loved just as much, and that gave a different look!  Soon after, my mom gave me a pair of gold ball studs, the same size as my favorite pearls.  I had three pairs of earrings I would actually wear!!

Then I discovered Kate Spade Jewelry.

My Lovely Fiance treated me to these.

I picked these lovelies up last night, before I went to Michael's country club for dinner.  I felt so Glam!  They are huge, but so freaking fun to wear!  I plan on grabbing a few other colors, I love wearing something a little different and out of my comfort zone!  I'm done wearing the same old thing all the time :).

And I got these maybe two months ago, and wear them a lot!  I absolutely adore having a variety of earrings to wear now.  The Kate Spade ones are also incredible reasonable priced.  Perfect for a small pick me up when one needs retail therapy!!

And here is a pair that isn't Kate Spade, but my lovely Fiance got these for me for our 4 year anniversary!

I love these because they are subtle, and can be both casual or dressy.  These also easily take place in an outfit where I would normally choose pearls.

I am so happy to have all these new earrings to wear!  After so long wearing the same pair, I think I've become kind of obsessed!  I will even skip wearing a necklace to emphasize my earrings!!!!

And finally, another Kate Spade purchase I adore that is not a pair of earrings!!

(I could not find a good stock photo)

This is an iphone case that LOOKS LIKE WICKER.  I love it so so so much!!!  Kate spade also has wicker purses that I ADORE.  I hope to snag one once they go on sale since 400 is a little bit much for a wicker bag... Still the case makes me VERY happy.  I adore Kate Spade!!!

This is how big the Gumdrop earrings are, big and I love them!!

Happy Mothers Day + Pimento Cheese

Happy Mothers day to all you wonderful Mommy's out there!!  I will see my mommy next weekend, but saw my FMIL today, along with my FFIL, and FBIL, and hopefully my FSIL (I hope they get married, she's so sweet).  So basically all my close in-laws!  I made curry chicken salad and pimento cheese (my fave things to make for lunch!  Both recipes are very simple.

Have you ever had Pimento cheese?  It is a very southern dish.  I fell in love with it my first trip to the Masters in Augusta, GA, and have loved it ever since!

I was too lazy to take my own photo, but this looks pretty close to mine!!  

My Recipe:

two bags of shredded cheese (I use Chedder and Pepper Jack usually)

1. Small Jar of pimentos 

Mayo (however much you prefer to hold it all together)

Chili Powder

Hot Sauce (however much you prefer)

Mix it all together, with salt and pepper, get it to the taste you prefer by adding more or less seasonings and voila!  Yummy with crackers and with bread!!
