Meet the Magnolias

Hello, sweet friends! It's been a while since I confessed, so here I am...linking up with my favorite Southern, blonde mama, Leslie ! 1.  I confess that I am SO GLAD it's Friday!!!!! The last few weeks have just been crazy busy and all off the pages of my planner. I need this weekend to try and catch up on life a little.  2.  I confess that I'm working on several blog posts that I'm eager to share! 3.  I confess that I know I married the right guy when after all these years, he knows how much I love and enjoy Southern Weddings magazine! V7 is a gorgeous issue! I'm so thankful for the heart behind these pages!!!!!!! Lara Casey, whom I adore, and her staff of incredibly talented, precious-hearts have done it again. Run, don't walk, friends. FOR. REAL. 4.  I confess that since seeing The Other Woman, every time I say "for real", I hear it in Leslie Mann's voice in the movie.  #favorite 5.  I confess that this girl and I

Y'all know, if you've been reading for any time at all, that I love the summer. I've always loved the summer. However, the older I get, and the less pool-in-the-summer time I get, the more I'm growing to love and enjoy the fall! The fall weather rocks my world. In Mississippi, we can use the heater and the a/c in the same day, so dressing in layers is a necessity. Cardigans are my go-to for the office since I can layer them over dresses or tops. ModCloth has an amazing cardigan selection here ! I pieced the outfit below together on Polyvore ! The tank, blouse, cardigan, and coat are all from ModCloth ! I chose these pieces because my latest obsession is mixing blacks and browns! Also, I chose a pair of boots and a pair of booties to show that the outfit can be as causal and comfy or as chic and dressy as you want it to be! (Shop this set below!) What's your favorite way to dress for fall? Tell me in the comments, or let's connec

Happy November, friends! I'm super excited to be linking up with Jenna and Anne again to tell you what's happening in my life lately.  Currently reading... Reached , the third and final book in the Matched trilogy. I feel like I've been reading it forever. I just haven't made time to finish it! So many books on my nightstand and to-read list. (And by "so many", I mean the entire Harry Potter series and then some!) Currently wishlisting... All the cups and mugs in Starbucks Dot Collection. I pinned so many yesterday. Seriously. I want them all.  I'm always working on a wishlist, so I'm either pinning or saving things on Amazon! With Christmas coming up, I'm wishlisting lots for myself and the people in my life!!!! Currently loving... The fall. The people in my life. Sweaters and cozy blankets. Hot chocolate. The leaves changing colors. Singing the new Taylor Swift album at the top of my lungs.

Loving the new TSwift album. Like LOVE love. Pretty sure the reason Taylor and I aren't real friends yet is because the world isn't ready for ALL THE FEELINGS to collide.  I still really want to seeThe Best of Me.  Snaps from my weekend: Cheeseball I made from Pinterest for the work party! Ghoulish punch at the work Halloween lunch! Still not over our new work location! It has been 6 months, and I'm smitten with being right downtown.  Cute husband being a good sport for our front yard photoshoot! The many faces of yours truly: grumpy, silly, smiley.  $0.50 corn dogs at Sonic are one of my favorite things about Halloween! The rest of the weekend looked a lot like this: ALL THE WARM BEVERAGES!!! Our friends' newest addition, Red: Working on some posts I'm excited about, so stay tuned.  How are you?  Love, Jessica @jesstinybird
