Country Squire Haberdashery Does it Again!

Ladies and gents, Country Squire Haberdashery is a little mecca of prep heaven in Florida. See past posts here and here. You know when you walk into a store or are online shopping and there is bound to be something that you don't like or don't "have to have"? Well, this doesn't happen with CSH. 

What I love even more than their fabulous items? Their customer service is absolutely unparalleled. If you want the best shopping experience, then CSH is you answer. They sent me a bunch of goodies to share with you all. I had so much fun styling the pieces! First up is a casual frock from Vineyard Vines a la CSH: french knot sweater dress. 

First, I'll show you this pretty little navy number on a pro... then, see below on moi! 

I styled it three different ways, but to be honest, this navy dress has endless styling possibilities. Even better? This dress is on promotion for the rest of February. If you are interested, call Kyle at 954-776-5940. Here is a run down of the three looks... 

The cowboy boot look is for fall tailgating. It is the perfect tailgate dress for those later-in-the-season games when you still want to be cute but warm. Just throw a Barbour overtop and you are all set... see that pretty little clutch in my hands? CSH also carries that pretty and let me tell you, it is my new go to! It even matches the silk print on my VV tote! I also really love this for transitioning winter to spring. You know that weather that you don't want to wear a dress in the morning, but by afternoon, you are dying to be in a dress... well this is the perfect compromise!

Look number 2 is my casual, lounging, errand running, coffee sipping, brunch eating outfit. I love that this dress looks great with an oxford layered underneath. It's looking super great with Bonanno's, too! 

The last look is a work look. This is my favorite look because it is so versatile. The jacket makes it work appropriate but it could easily be taken off post-work to transition into a more "fun" look. And I would also just pull out the VV wristlet from my larger handbag and be all set for a night on the town! 

Keeping up with CSH on Facebook definitely has its' benefits. They announce promotions and sales and these are the kind you definitely don't want to miss! 

Is anyone else super excited for the Vineyard Vines Kentucky Derby garb?! cCm is counting down the days-- she is, after all, a Kentucky girl! CSH gave us a fun preview on their Facebook page! 

Here is the information as I have shared in the past... I'd like to plug this right into my GPS, or really a pilot's GPS and head straight for CSH!

Vineyard Vines

If you have checked out the most recent Vineyard Vines catalog, then you may have noticed yours truly on page 34! Katie from Let's Be Preppy let me know that I was in it and it was too fun to find myself in the catalog! I've loved hearing from everyone on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/E-mail etc. letting me know that they found me! 

This is actually the second time I am in the catalog... the first time was summer 2009 when I submitted a picture of cCm and I (above... we are such babies!!! I was 18 and cCm was 14). This time, it is a picture of my big dLn and I... however, I am not sure how they got the picture because I didn't submit it... sneaky, sneaky, VV! 

I'm thinking that maybe I should submit this picture of cCm and I in the Georgetown Vineyard Vines! cCm and I do love our whale hats and Vineyard Vines, of course! 

Did you see my big and I in the catalog? Have you been in the Vineyard Vines catalog? If you have a picture of you or friends in Vineyard Vines, you can submit your photo, here! Have a fabulous day!

I'm headed to the beach...

Not really! But if I was, I'd have this beauty secured on my wrist and watch it glimmer in the sun! The gold would go so great with a tan too!VV By the Sea Charm Bracelet $98
Have a preppy day!

Festive Fun

I love love love wearing holiday themed items whether it be a red and green pin, or go all out in a red and green outfit. I love the Vineyard Vines Santa Hat Headband, it is understated, but also festive!

$30

L.L. Bean also has their seasonal Boat and Tote bags out! How cute would this look with a chunky sweater and jeans, just going to a casual lunch! Or even cuter, you could put some goodies in it and give it as goodie bag at your holiday party! This would also be darling for a little girl to carry her loot in! $22

Plus this week in the Target $1 section, I snagged a super cute red and green grosgrain ribbon bow headband! When it makes it's debut, I'll be sure to post a picture! Have you snagged any adorable holiday accessories!? I'd love to know!! Have a wonderful day!

Fall for corduroys!

Wide whale corduroys are a preppy fall staple that you can't go wrong with. They are timeless, can be colorful if you choose, and have been around for ages. I know my mother and father still have pairs from when they were in college. Plus the biggest bonus in my book is that they are extra comfortable and warm too! Here are some corduroys that I am loving for this fall:Vineyard VinesMurray's Toggery Shop (lots of different prints to choose from)Ralph Lauren

I can't find a picture to put on here, but Talbots has so many colors to choose from. My Favorite color is red berry. Wouldn't it look great with a pretty navy blue sweater?

J. Crew (on sale!)
Brooks Brothers (I love the cut of these)

Lands End (I am ordering these as soon as the cool weather hits! If you can't tell they have embroidered ducks. Perfect!)

Have a wonderful, preppy filled day!

Bow Ties

I don't know about you ladies but, when it's time for a guy to play dress up, I am partial to the bow tie. Now of course, I don't mind ties for everyday work but when I go to any formal function, it's always nice to see the guys in bow ties rather than ties. I remember, I had to beg bRc to wear a bow tie in high school to all the formal functions/dances but in the end, to my pleasure, he ended up wearing one. Here are some that I just love:Lilly

Ralph Lauren

Chaps

Brooks Brothers



Joseph Banks

Vineyard Vines

If only all of these were headbands. Oh well, I'll live vicariously through all the guys I see wearing such pretty bow ties!

Here's to a long day

Today was such a great day. bRc and I went out to lunch at my favorite place, and we shopped around all of the boutiques in that area. bRc got a cute Banana Republic dress shirt on sale for only $20, so if you know any boys in need (father's day is in a little over 1 week!) , head over to BR.
We also stopped in this adorable pink and green boutique! It's called the Palm Place, and it has Lilly Pulitzer, Jack Rogers, Vineyard Vines, and Lacoste. I go to this area of town just to go to the boutique. Today I spotted the greatest VV shirt:
Isn't it the cutest? I can't stop thinking about it ever since I've seen it, I guess I'm in love! I can't find it on the VV website but I think it was around $165 which is too pricy for my college lifestyle, but I reccomend it to all who aren't on a college girl budget!

To my excitment, the Lilly Jeep was parked outside. I decided that I would love to get a picture with it so I went into the store and when I came out, I had my camera out and ready and it was awful! It was gone!!! I was so sad, I've seen a lot of you bloggers with pictures in front of the Lilly Jeep and have since thougt it makes such a cute colorful picture. Oh well, maybe next time!

I have a tip for all of you ladies out there that love Ralph Lauren. I was looking for something cute to wear to lunch with bRc, and I came accross this skirt:I forgot I had it! It is Ralph Lauren circa 2005 and it's kids! I can't believe I'm 19 and can still fit into childrens clothing, but it's great becuase a lot of it is a lot less expensive. You can't tell in the picture but the colors are very vibrant. I love this skirt and wore it with a white polo and silver metallic Tory Burch sandals. I got so many compliments on it today so that's why I thought I'd share it with you!
Also, when I got home from my busy day, my mom and sister had been shopping and brought me home this too cute casual shirt from Ralph Lauren Kids:It was purchased at Macy's for $9.99. What a steal! You can find it here. It's so cute and comfortable and perfect for a lazy Sunday.

For dinner, I dined at bRc's house and we had delicious steak and salmon with asparagus and potatos. It was delicious! Then we stopped over to a local church fair to play some bingo! It was a laugh, unfortunately bRc and I didn't win once! One of bRc's friends won a couple times, I guess some of us are just luckier than others!

Have a wonderful Thursday night, tomorrow is Friday :)!

Yours,
sCe

p.s. I know I said I'd post a picture of my favorite shoes today, but I didn't have time today, stay tuned for another post with those pictures!
