I wanted to really challenge myself this month with topics that I haven’t addressed before or were perhaps a little out of my comfort zone. Topics that come up at happy hour or a girls night where we all feel comfortable to be vulnerable and our truest self. So let’s discuss what I’m doing to pump the breaks on time and improve my skin.

When I chat with my girlfriends the two topics that come up the most are, how do I “know” how to pose for my pictures and what is my skincare/Botox routine? WELL, in honor of starting LyvRoxStyle five years ago this month I thought it would be fitting to discuss both topics. Today we’ll stick with photoshoots!

I have been debating for weeks what to post about because it’s still 100 damn degrees! We are in October! I’ve ordered sweaters, sweater dresses, boots and I’m still wearing summer clothes. We had two nice days of 70s and then it ghosted us like a bad boyfriend. We woke up hurt, confused, hot and bothered.

September used to have a whole different meaning for me fashion wise. It’s the release of the highly anticipated September issue, which is the Bible for fall fashion. Dare I even call it the trophy of all issues. Each magazine is the size of a phonebook! I would sit with my Vogue and Harper’s Bazzar slowly flipping each page soaking in the colors and drooling over new styles. But now, in September I start drooling over trophies of another kind.

Have you seen Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion?! It’s ok if you haven’t, I am fully prepared to fill you in on this classic masterpiece.

So here’s the official -who, what, WEAR, when and why-breakdown to the, “Who Run the World Brunch” at Bay Biergarten, Sunday June 30th.

We have officially reached that point of the summer where the heat is undeniable and the cold smacks you right in the boobs when you walk inside. These are known as headlights. So how do we dress the part for such extreme environments without bringing industrial packs of bandaids into the mix?!

The western influence creeping into the fashion streets has been subtle but constant! The piping trim on button downs like the one I’m wearing above, stitching on boots and the cut of heels on our typical knee boots now reflect the shape and design of our Nashville two stepping cowboy boots. We are Tanya Tucker Chic in da streetz!

Hair IS 90% of our selfies!! It’s also a subject I get the MOST questions about, so let’s discuss! I actually talk about hair so much my friend Grayson thought I was a hair stylist the first few times we hung out!

Guys. I messed up. I hate this outfit!! Laura did a wonderful job shooting this lewk and the background is actually incredibly cute of a boombox in North Augusta, BUT I messed it up by styling too many prints.

It was pajama week on LyvRoxStyle last week! I had a contest with three silk “inspired” pajama tops and one was actually my pjs! It’s the black top I’m wearing here, it has matching shorts. I had three people guess correctly and then I put their names in a hat and drew the winner from there. Dana Hall won the $25 Sephora gift card!! Yay, Dana! Now I’ll tell you where the shirts came from that aren’t my pajamas!

When I think of cold weather I think of going to see the Nutcracker during the Holiday season as a child. It was a “girls day” tradition my grandmother Doris started, whom you have heard me talk about so frequently. When I was little girl all of my father’s side of the family lived in Aiken so the cousins were pretty inseparable. This was always a highly anticipated event because I got a special outfit! Obviously.

I wanted to turn the spotlight today onto a local business and boss betch who was extremely kind to open her doors and let Laura and I snap a few pics! Jennifer Tinsley is the founder of FIELD on 12th Street in downtown Augusta, Georgia.

Cape blazers are my JAM! Since we discussed how I’m currently styling a veteran favorite, the black boyfriend blazer. I wanted to discuss a newer style blazer that I have come to consider a closet essential. Capes are not just for magicians anymore, but they can be magical.

In honor of Otis turning 9 this week I wanted to share my favorite pictures and adventures of life with this tiny non-dog creature. Maybe you’re thinking Lyv this is weird… a blog post dedicated to your dog?! I know, I get it, it’s a little weird but you know what…I don’t give a shit how weird it is, it’s my website and I do what I want.
