Saucy... why yes I am.

A funny thing happened yetserday. People kept commenting and telling me that I was saucy. The funny thing is my best friend, Katie tells me this everyday because I love some condiments. I'm currently eating spicy tuna rolls with extra sauce because I'm what??? SAUCY! So since I'm new to the blogging community I joined SITS. Apparently, I was chosen as a saucy blog, THANK YOU!!!! So I feel that I should live up to this new title and give you people something exciting. Continuing with my favorite things I'm gonna talk about some more of my favorite things. Including but not limited to the stores and designers that make my life better. Without further ado.....

#7 TARGET!!! Who doesnt love Target? One opened up across the street from my office and I'm surprised I havent gone bankrupt yet. Here are my latest Target purchases for your enjoyment.


#8 Chick fila is another favorite of mine. A week doesnt go by that I"m not stopping in at the chick fil a that I have to drive across town to get to. They just came out with the New Chick Fil A suace which is basically a honey mustard with a little kick. its awesome and SAUCY!!

#9 Sporcle.com This is one of my favorite websites. Its not a material posession but I was clicking bookmarks while writing this and thought I'd mention it. I check it every day. They have these lists that you have to fill out. Today's was name 40 bands with one word names. They give you a song, you name the band. Its a great time waster and really gets those brain waves jolted in the morning.

#10 Vineyard Vines. You all know I love Vineyard Vines, what good preppy girl doesnt. You might not know that their polos fit me better than any other polo I've ever tried. I'm busty and have a hard time finding polos that fit. Ralph lauren is too boxy cut, Lacoste is too short but VV is just right. Jackson will also be getting this adorable dog collar for his birthday April 3.
#11 This is a product that I rarely go a day without using. I hate socks you see and living in the south and working for a laid back company I can rock the sandals everyday. Rainbows are a southern staple. They take a few wears to get broken in but then they form to your feet and are the most comfortable shoes that I own. You'll see southern sorority girls and frat guys wearing them with their attire to formal, this is acceptable in the south. You'll also see many brides letting their bridal party wear them, also acceptable. If you dont own a pair, buy some. You can thank me later.

#12 How can I talk about my favorite designers without mentioning the Queen Bee in my closet. Miss Lilly Pulitzer. Although her prices have gone up in the last 10 years I still manage to buy at least one dress a year. We've been through a lot and I know every winter that she is designing the perfect Easter dress for me. My birthday is next month and I'm asking for 3 pieces.

Springtime for Mint Juleps

No drink resonates the feeling of spring with the tasetebuds quite like Mint Juleps and Mimosas. I know that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this week. I dont quite understand why we here in the south listen to what a groundhog from Pennsylvania says. We need our own groundhog. Regardless, Spring is just around the corner and I know this because the new Lilly Pulitzer line was launched last week ,the dog on the main women's page looks just like my dog (Jackson, see below). Another reason I know its almost Spring is that today I craved a Mint Julep.

In Savannah, St Patricks Day is the start of Spring in my mind. It is usually pretty warm and we get up before dawn and start drinking mimosas. It is a wonderful day and the countdown to my birthday two weeks later. Spring is by far my favorite season. March is by far my favorite month of the year, and 7o degree average highs are PERFECT!!

Another thing that gets me ready for spring is to listen to Beach music. I have XM radio and have been listening to Radio Margaritaville for 2 weeks. Next week I will probably try on my sun dresses from last season. I did pick out my Easter dress already (see below). Very soon I'll pick out my birthday presents which usually come from Lilly and Vineyard vines. Now that I've gotten everyone ready for Spring, here are a few things to look forward to over the next few weeks. Valentine's Day, even if you're single its a fun day to go out with your girlfriends. Fat Tuesday, this year it is on Feb 24, even though I'm not Catholic, French or from New Orleans I still like to enjoy my final sins before starting lent (which I dont really have to observe). This year for Lent I'm giving up shopping. Yea, its gonna be hard. I will allow myself to only buy things I need, not want and I can buy food and go to dinner. I need to buy my Easter dress before hand, or maybe I can call it a "need". Also at the end of this month the tulips should start blooming in Savannah and it is time to plant a springtime Herb Garden.

Drink a Mimosa and shop for Lilly dresses and forget what that pesky groundhog said, Spring is almost here!!!!
