Show + Tell {Amelia}

Today I am excited to tell you about a little southern shop in 

Oxford, Mississippi by the name of Amelia.

Erin Austin Abbott opened Amelia in 2009 after returning 

home to her southern roots.  

In her 187 square feet shop, that's right 187 sq feet, you can find

a variety of unique, one of kind items.  Here are just a few of my current crush

items from the shop.

 

 

 Stop by and check out the complete Amelia Collection.

I Spy {Valentine's Round-Up}

Valentine’s Day is just over a week away!  To all you lovebirds out there, I wish you a magical day filled with copious amounts of love BUT, to all you gorgeous single ladies out there, no need to hang your head low.  After you spoil yourself with this vday roundup handpicked by yours truly especially for you, I have a feeling you will turn all frowns upside down.  Heck, you might even pop an extra bottle or two in sheer celebration of your independence!

1. Moroccan Angel Wing Lamps to light up your night
2. My personal go to reads by Kelly Cutrone when in need of a pick-me-up and tough love
3. Who needs a fella when you can wrap yourself in Hermes
4. If you have a weak moment and need to call in backup from your girlfriends or mother- might as well make sure your phone is dressed to impress in a fancy new case.
5. Chic matchboxes by Society Social to assist with number 7 on the list
6. A comfy sweat to kickback in- just because you are having a “me night” doesn’t mean you get to completely let yourself go. Single does not give you a permission slip to let yourself go!
7. Anthropologie candle to provide a soothing aroma
8. Pink Moet Bubbly- no explanation needed
9. Essie Polish Snap Happy and True Love…It’s all in the name and all in due time!
10. Oh! Number ten is a MUST…slap a Ban.do glitter heart clip in your lovely locks and crank-up some “shake it don’t break” tunes and get your groove on. Solo living room dancing I 100% believe is a weekly must!!

Cheers to the good life and finding the magic in everyday!

xoxo,

Friday Flashback

Happy Friday Loves!

Did you have a meet and greet today with the slippery mess that's been falling from the sky?

We sure did in NC!  The roads are way icy and after experiencing them first hand, I have decided to make it a cozy movie night in!

I'm excited to be kicking off a new series for Delightfully Chic!

I am (as I'm sure many of you are) completely addicted to Instagram and love browsing through all the amazing snapshots while handing out lots of "hearts"!

So, I got to thinking, what better way to wrap up each week than with a round-up of some of my favorite shots I've discovered throughout the week? 

Enjoy! 

1. @designlovefest 2. @alice_olivia 3. @brittgastineau

4. @sugarandcloth  5. @laurenconrad   6. @thedecorista

7. @dallasshaw 8. @mackenziehoran  9. @dawndelrusso

Make sure to check these ladies out and stop by and visit @delightfullychic while you are scrolling through swooning and handing out hearts! 

Are you on instagram?

Leave your info below-I'd love to stop by and share the love! 

I Spy: Must Have App

Hanna Brooks Nation, the successful owner, designer, and voice behind  Gadabout has recently added iPhone app creator to her "resume"!  

Post is simply perfection for all you socialites and hostess with mostess party planners out there! 
With over 60 templates designed by Hanna herself, there is sure to be one to fit every event!

Here are the first two (I'm new to this so bear with me as I learn with you) I created for recent gatherings!

ps... did i mention Hanna is ONLY 22 years old...the world is definitely her oyster!

I Spy: Must Have Apps

The past couple of weeks I have been checking out lots of apps!

Here are a few of my current faves...some you may already be enjoying and maybe I'll throw a few new ones your way!

First off, the App I CANNOT live without...Shazam!

I am a music junky so when I'm out on the town or riding down the road or a catchy tune comes on tv and I'm DYING to know who is singing...SHAZAM IT!! 

Literary, like 30 seconds of listening and ta-da...I have artist and title!

My latest addiction...Deja Mi

It's the best way to capture what's going on around you...It's similar to Instagram but in "Real Time" which I LOVE not to mention the filters are fab!

So you all know I have been on a total lifestyle change/healthy eating kick!

The two best apps to keep me on track...My Net Diary, where I keep a daily log of food intake and exercise and Calorie King, which has about 90% of your big chain restaurants and breaks down the nutrition facts on your favorite dishes! 

A fun app that literally cracks me up...Draw Something!

I am in no way shape or form an artist so request to play me by all means if you are into "stick figures" and lopsided drawings!

What are your favorite apps?  

Do tell!!

Sunday Sanctuary

Another weekend comes and goes!

This weekend I was able to get LOTS accomplished!

My shattered iPhone screen (yikes!) was replaced and dressed up with a fun Kate Spade case (and obviously much needed).  My precious mama and I spent the day in Charlotte putting the finishing touches on the DC collection...seriously can't wait for y'all to see the line!

Are you a fan of DC facebook page yet?!

Make sure to "like" the page and stay up-to-date on the launch and other chic info! 

Etsy Shop Of The Day...

I spied the most delightful iPhone case over at Made By Girl the other day that totally got me rethinking which case I want to purchase for my iPhone???

Which brings me to my Etsy Shop of the Day... The adorable Dani Notes!

Are these iPhone cases not precious?!

A few other pieces from the collection that caught my eye!

iPhone + iPad Wallpaper via Red Stamp

Fingers are crossed that this weekend I FINALLY get to give my Blackberry Storm the big old boot and get an iPhone. 

My storm would a be complete travesty if there ever was an emergency...I swear I would have to wait for it to "wake up" then dial 9-wait a few seconds 1- wait a few more seconds 1...praying the whole time that is doesn't totally freeze and I have to take the battery out and reboot!

Ok so maybe it's not that bad but, seriously it's time for an upgrade!

Red Stamp has the most delish calendar wallpapers for the iPhone and iPad and for this reason alone everyone should be on the "i" bandwagon just to look at these chic images everyday!

Can't wait to see the April calendar!!
