Welcome Shelby Foster, the blonde, bubbly blogger behind The Southernista, to Brooke du jour! My style crush on Shelby first started when we took Digital Journalism together at SMU in the spring. We both always seemed to be peeking at the same fashion blogs when we should have been paying more attention in class. Plus, even at 9:30 a.m., Shelby looked like she hopped right out of the J.Crew catalog (think oversized, black, square glasses and lots of striped sweaters). Shelby graduated a few weeks ago with a B.A. in Journalism and received the Outstanding Digital Journalism Student award. I…
My mom taught me three important things: Don’t waste your time trying to change a man, you can never have too many shoes, and how to frost a cake. I sway more toward the domestic damsel in distress side of the Martha Stewart scale, so if I can do this, you can too.

I’m putting him to work while I’m home! ; ) Target dress, Swoozies clutch, Aldo shoes (similar) I love a good bargain buy as much as the next shopper, so I just had to snap up this dress from Target (pronounced Tar-jay of course). Seahorses might just be my obsession of the moment- I couldn’t help myself and bought this sweater too. Like any Delta Gamma, it’s hard to resist any kind of maritime print after all. Happy weekend everyone! I’m hoping to clock some beach time today. This girl could use a tan!
