Three Fashionable Snow Day Outfits

January 28, 2016January 28, 2016 Abby Hathorn1 Comment

Last week, I experienced more snow than I have in my entire life! *gasp* Nine inches of snow–give or take a few–had me cuddled up inside + begging to take photos outside *wink*

Even though inches and inches of snow were a big deal for this Mississippi-raised girl, there were parts of Virginia (not far from here) that got three feet of snow…let that sink in…THREE FEET! AHH! I wouldn’t know how to emotionally handle that!!

Now, because the snow still hasn’t gone away *wink*, let’s take a look at three fabulous snow day outfits and try to warm up to the cold weather outside *wink*

Outfit 1:

Sweater: GAP

Skirt: Target

Tights: Target

Heels: Target

Hat: Target

Earrings: Avon

Outfit 2:

Turtleneck: GAP

Plaid Shirt: GAP

Vest: The Northface

Jeans: GAP

Boots: Keen, Mahoney’s (Johnson City, TN)

Hat: handmade, Lather & Stitch

Outfit 3: throwback!

Last year’s snow storm has NOTHING on this year’s accumulation *wink* Check out my daring (and very chilly) photo shoot in the snow last year below.

Weekly Whistle: Overdressed in the Snow at Founders Park

February 25, 2015 Abby Hathorn6 Comments

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

We have been hit with yet another snowstorm, which left me scraping 6 inches of snow off my car this morning + shoveling a driveway for the first time in my life *wink*

Even though I am not a huge fan of the snow, it does make for some pretty fabulous photos…especially at the beautiful Founders Park in downtown Johnson City! Now, while I go warm my toes by the heater, y’all take a look at this week’s Weekly Whistle! To stay updated on my snowpocalypse fun, check out my Twitter feed below. :)

Weekly Whistle: A Southern Belle in the Snow

February 18, 2015 Abby HathornLeave a comment

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

It has been snowing like the dickens here all day, and of course, the VIP team created fabulous (and maybe a smidgen crazy) photo shoots *wink*

Taking a bit of inspiration from my old stomping grounds, I dressed as if I were going to a mid-spring brunch with some other Southern Belles. The juxtaposition of warm-weather clothes and cold-weather conditions made for some fun photos that have me VERY ready for spring and summer *wink*

Now, while I go warm up for some neighborhood sledding later, y’all take a look at these chilly and bright photos! Stay tuned for more from today’s photo shoot :)

Thanks, Winter Storm Octavia, for the fluffy snow. This Southern Belle has enjoyed it :)

Dress: Three07 | Hat: World Market | Heels: Jessica Simpson | Bracelet: Luke & Lyla Designs

Throwback Thursday: Bring back the snow!

January 23, 2014January 23, 2014 Abby Hathorn2 Comments

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to Throwback Thursday!

Hop in the time machine with me, and let’s blast back in time to January 17, 2013 when Winter Storm Iago coated Birmingham with a lot of snow–in Southern terms…”a lot of snow” really means “we got about an inch, and it is all melted by the next day.” *wink*

As I reminisce about this blog, the best part and most fun of that Southern blizzard was playing with the dogs in the snow–I tried to convince my mom to come out and help me build a snowman; however, she insisted on staying inside the covered porch. I cannot say that I blame her…we do not have the proper attire for playing in snow. Anyway, that day was absolutely marvelous…I wish we would get snow more often–don’t tell my dad I said that because he has a strong dislike for snow *wink*

Now, without further ado, I reveal never before seen photos from the fun time the pups and I had during our Alabama Snow-tacular last year. Enjoy!

It is also not very wise for making snow angles in the street...but I live in the cul de sac...so, it's okay? Right?! *wink* — One should never make snow angels in the street…but I live in the cul-de-sac, and I’m a professional…so, it’s okay? Right?! *wink*

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog! Tonight on the blog, I am going to show y’all a VIP Casual Saturday way to rock a pretty pink coat…because every fashionista needs a little break from stilettos *wink*

To change up Outfit 1, trade the three07 little black dress for a pair of pink cords, red sweater, a multi-colored scarf, and a slouchy hat for a cute and cozy look that is perfect for a Casual Saturday at the coffee shop with a good book.
