Brr… Are y’all staying warm? It is somewhat warm here today; however, it might be bitter cold tomorrow. Who knows with Southern weather *wink* So, what does the VIP do in weather like this? Watch Psych, of course! I am so excited for another episode tomorrow! Whoo hoo!
To change up Outfit 2, trade pink cords for dark denim jeans, swap the red sweater for a chevron cardigan and matching tank, and last but not least, toss off the hat, and slip into a pair of pink kitten heels–tah dah! FAB-U-LOUS.

Hello, my fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog! It is that wonderful time of the week again…Weekly Whistle time! Whoop Whoop!
Brenda Caradine, Melissa Duncan, and the VIP at the Tennessee Williams Tribute Luncheon at the Tampico Bay Restaurant in Columbus, Mississippi.

Mrs. Caradine not only manages the functions of the Tennessee Williams Tribute, but she also owns and operates the Amzi Love Lincoln Homes Bed and Breakfast with her husband, Sid Caradine (aka Captain Sid).

I am so grateful to have had Sara modeling on the show this morning! So proud of the amazing job she did! Yay for Sara and Miss VIP!
Today was a very exciting day in the Hathorn house as the VIP was on “Talk of Alabama” on ABC 33/40! I barely slept a wink last night…amazing what a little Starbucks in the morning can do for your spirit! Anyway, I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to represent good teens all over the world today as I talked about my blog, why I started the VIP, and of course, spring fashions!
Now that I have had time to calm down and think about the segment…here are ten things I wish I would have said on live TV!
10 Things I Wish I Would Have, Could Have, or Should Have Said on Live TV:
(I am pretending that David Letterman from The Late Show is reading my top ten right now…yes, I would love to be on his show.)
10. The pretty-in-pink Parker dress I wore was buttery soft; such a dream to wear!
9. Sara’s beautiful pastel blue dress is perfect for Easter and the Kentucky Derby!
8. I wish I would have mentioned my newly started YouTube Channel…
7. Ziva (my Giant Schnauzer) would have really appreciated a shout out, according to the wonderful welcome I received when I got home!
6. I wish I would have thanked all of my tremendous fans and followers!
5. I wish I would have explained the sponsorship of my blog better…but that is usually the job of my business manager!
4. I wish I would have had time to tell everyone where to find me…
3. I wish I would have answered the question “Where do you see yourself in ten years” better…I cannot think that far in advance very well…BUT in 5 years, I would like to be graduating from college with a degree in mass communications…let’s just say the “10 seconds left” thing freaked me out-no pressure!
2. I wish I could have had more time to explain my top spring 2013 fashion trends…hmm future blog post? I think yes!
1. I definitely should have said “Stay Fabulous”!
