Styled for Fall: Weekend In The Mountains x Peachy The Magazine

I’m so excited to be partnering with Peachy The Magazine, along with five other talented stylists, to create a seasonal Weekend in the Mountains look. I’m originally from Asheville, NC and grew up visiting my granparents’ rustic family farm in South Carolina. A trip home is always welcome, and while I did NOT dress this chic as a tomboy teenager, I do see myself right at home this look in either place now. Shop my look below, and be sure to check out the entire magazine here! If you’re not already receiving Peachy’s digital subscription, I am including a link here for you. I PROMISE you will love it so!

What Whitley Wants Vol. 7

Gigi, Isabelle, Rachel, Sophia… Oh my! Toooo many good girls on one page! Plus, I’ve never really been super exclusive… I got that whole mindset of abundance thing going on, ya know?

I always wear a left hand statement ring, even if it’s not cocktail attire, and everyone wants to know where they can find one! This Ulla Johnson is terrific for a dress OR jeans and tee moment, or really anything on this page. The giraffe on the RE/DONE tee is me, no matter how hard I try. I DID manage to nab the Isabel Marant velvet embroidered cropped jacket of dreams for a client, so if I’m really good, maybe she’ll let me borrow it! And the Gigi Burris hat? I used it for a recent editorial and naturally I want one for my very own! The Sophia Webster oversized butterfly embellished clutch ALWAYS, the Isabel Marant boots even if they ARE DOOK blue, and that modern day Alice in Wonderland meets Scooby Doo Zimmermann print dress on acid! Who am I kidding?? I want it all! Click on the images below to shop, and follow me HERE on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others.

Designer Crush: Ulla Johnson

What can I say, but Ulla strikes again. If there is one brand that continues to turn out aspirational yet all the while wearable designs season after season, impressing all the rest, Ulla Johson keeps on remaining right up there at the top. Girly and flowy meets trailal and bohemian for a carefully clever mix. Cult-like individual pieces range from instantly indentifiable to cute but steady Sally staples that will remain in the forefront of your wardorbe for years and years to come.

Monday Musings

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!  A few musings from my corner of the world...

Precious Peanut #2 turned 6 this past Thursday! I mean look at him with his glasses and front tooth missing since he knocked it out running at the age of 2.  I know we all feel this way about our children, but I can't handle how much I want to eat him up!

Yellow, yellow, yellow!  Get ready to see this not so mellow color everywhere for summer.  I love the pleats and commanding power of this Tibi short silk dress I recommended for a client's upcoming photo shoot.  I saw this image Chloe campaign ad yesterday while on the stair climber at the Y.  Fashion lends itself in such magnificent ways! I say bring on the sunshine!

Speaking of Tibi, this Gothic Floral Edwardian dress is AMAZEballs and reminds me of a fab chinoiserie mural I'd love to have slathered across the back wall of a room.

While we're on the topic of all over print, I also LOVE this Ulla Johnson Vashti jacket. Unfortunately and fortunately (for my wallet) I've seen the print on two people in the last week (my clothing kiss of death), so I'll keep enjoying seeing it on other people!

The couple that dresses together stays together?  37 years strong of matching outfits.  

How the rich get stoned, as told in Town & Country, including a run down of the chicest weed accessories like this 80's Greek hand painted ashtray and lighter holder.

I so terribly badly would like to have these earrings.  I marvel over having seen them worn by a beautiful gal my age whose stepping out style is always on point.

My girl Ashley at Sweet Southern Prep looks so good with her cocktail in Charleston.  Think I might have to spring for these J.Crew sailorific trousers for summer!

My best friend's daughters are AMAZING in their rendition of Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams. I mean if I had girls, I'd be doing this every day all day long, which I'm pretty sure they are. Click HERE to catch the Oscar performance for yourself.

And to round it out... Fab fashion, hot couples and great interior design... Jimmie and Chandra Johnson's Charlotte home featured in Garden & Gun by designer fav Barrie Benson is picture proof that dreams (and walls lacquered with more than twenty coats... at least for some) really do come true!
