Meet the Magnolias

I got this necklace the summer after 5th grade as my mom and I drove from Jackson to our new home in Southaven. (I remember it as my first trip to Target!) It was surely "Clueless" inspired. (And yes, I still have and wear it.) In the summer of 2016, I got this necklace at the cutest shop in town . I think the term "wifey" is so cute, and I love being a wife, so it seemed fitting and light-hearted! Obviously, I find something I like and latch on.  ;) Last month, I saw Jen Gotch , founder of  bando , announce her collaboration with Iconery . They teamed up to release necklaces that said " Anxiety " and " Depression " to break the stigma and bring awareness to mental illness.  As soon as I saw these, I knew I had to have one. I felt understood and seen and included. I felt like I belonged. (I've known these things are true and have felt them in my own community, but I felt it now on social media, too!) My anxiety is not so

Y'all, I have followed Studio DIY for a while, and ever since Kelly launched #CantClutchThis , I've wanted to join! It's a monthly subscription of an amazing clutch and optional flair you can add on additionally! My only regret is that I didn't join last year because I missed SO many cute ones (especially the credit card, pool, and faux fur clutches)!!! When I saw the February clutch announcement, I knew I couldn't miss this one! I love the clear plastic, yellow zipper, and the keychain! I had to add the keychain because it totally takes me back to the Koosh balls of my childhood! Another optional piece of flair was THE cutest enamel pin. I have a tiny but growing collection of those, but for the sake of our budget, I'm limited to one piece of flair a month. (Except maybe for my birthday or Christmas!) Today was a fun day, so it seemed like the perfect day to grab a Starbucks, put on my GLOW shirt, and take #shawfollowellthornton for a strol
