Lena & Laine Boutique in Atlanta!

This past week I traveled to Atlanta with my church for our annual National Way of the Cross Convocation. While I was there I had the opportunity to be a vendor and showcase accessories from L&L Boutique.  Words can hardly describe what a wonderful and exciting time I had. The services and speakers were outstanding, the food was awesome, fellowship was great, and I made a bunch of new friends. Here are some photos leading up to and during thee event. Enjoy!

Fashion Friday {Going to the Movies}

Ok, who dresses up to go to the movies?  I don't! {#aintnobodygottimefordat!} I want to be comfortable, plus it's dark and no one will see what you have on any way...  This outfit is totally something I would wear to the movies, or anywhere for that matter.  Distressed jeans scream casual to me.  Like I always say, keep your basics basic and pump up the accessories.  Skinny jeans and a neutral graphic tee keep this style basic and simple.  A colored blazer because {1} I love blazers {2} It's always cold in the theaters and {3} it's an easy way to add color.  I thought the fedora was cute, plus you can hide your hair under it if you're having a bad hair day...  And yellow flats because blue and yellow love {complement} each other.  The best thing I like about this Chanel bag is that it's small and not cumbersome and it has a shoulder strap so it can stay close to you.  Whose going to the movies tonight?

Summer Beach Look

Red-Orange and Mint Summer Beach Look

When I saw this clutch, I knew I had to style an outfit around it. It's gorgeous and I want it in my closet, but too bad it's currently sold out, bummer! I pulled out the red-orange and mint colors and decided to keep it fresh with white shorts. You don't have to show all your goods to look good at the beach this summer! Additionally, Lena and Laine Boutique sells a pair of mint earrings that match this outfit perfectly.

Here are a few of my favorite style tips for those of you looking to achieve a similar look:

1. Don't wear more than 3 colors at a time.
2. Use one color as your base or neutral color. {in this style scenario, I used tan/gold}
3. Don't be afraid to wear different sades of the same color. {orange, coral, red-orange, tangerine...etc.}
4. Use solid colored pieces to keep the look from being too busy. {solid colored ruffle top and shorts}.

Meredith College Alumnae Vendor Market

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating as a vendor at the Meredith College Alumnae Market. This was a great opportunity for me to showcase products from Lena & Laine Boutique and also catch up with old friends. I had a great time while I was there. I would like to thank my friend Sherri for volunteering her time to help me out. I would say the event was successful and most importantly I got the chance to spread the word about the boutique and do some networking! Here are some photos from the event.

On my way to the Market!

Can't wait to do it again!

New Marketing Materials - L&L Boutique

I'm so excited about this new oversized postcard that I designed for a Vendor Market at my Alma Mater where Lena & Laine Boutique will be featured. I saved big bucks on this purchase because I had an awesome Groupon deal for Vistaprint. Such a power couple!
