"I like to think of myself as the typical Southern Belle, with a modern twist."

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I'd love to! Well, my name is Rebecca. I currently reside in the beautiful city of Charleston, South Carolina. Which, by the way, was just voted the #1 city in the world by Travel and Leisure Magazine. I'm originally from Camden, South Carolina, which is the epitome of a "small town". I like to think of myself as the typical Southern Belle, with a modern twist. I'm a law student, dog mom, and avid supporter of affordable fashion. When I'm not in my law library, I'm either kayaking or napping... I'm a huge supporter of the afternoon nap! 

"There's something really powerful about embracing your personal style, and even more empowering when you can do it without breaking your budget."

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO FASHION? 

I think fashion has always been a huge part of my life, but nothing I ever actively pursued. I love dressing up. I love buying new clothes! And I love expressing myself via my wardrobe. There's something really powerful about embracing your personal style, and even more empowering when you can do it without breaking your budget. I developed a real skill for seeking affordable trends... and slowly it became my hobby and one of my passions! I love sharing my love for fashion with others, and sharing how to maintain a trendy style and balance your budget. 

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

My style is essentially feminine, affordable, and trendy. I love flattering clothes that really accentuate my figure, and are really just fun to wear! I love floral, color, and clothes with a lot of movement. I love to pair my outfits with jewelry and accessories that add not only sparkle, but also dimension. The pieces are choose to wear are not only fun, but also add something to a look. I feel that a look isn't complete without the right bling!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF JEWELRY THAT YOU OWN?

My absolute favorite piece of jewelry is actually one that I don't wear that often. For college graduation, my grandmother gave me a ring that was given to her from her mother. It's a gorgeous, simple, gold band with two petite diamonds! It's by far my most cherished piece. 

WHERE DO YOU USUALLY BUY YOUR JEWELRY? 

I have a mix of pieces that I collected overtime from vintage and consignment shops! I also enjoy purchasing classic, and expensive pieces that last forever. For example, I love Kendra Scott, Pandora, Tiffany's, and I'm currently saving for a David Yurman cuff! Other than that, I'm constantly looking to update my wardrobe with inexpensive costume pieces! I love have a high quantity of pieces that always keep my wardrobe new and exciting!

JEWELRY SEEMS TO BE TREATED AS AN "AFTER THOUGHT". WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

Absolutely not!!!! I will often buy a necklace, or a pair of earrings, and then base a whole outfit around it! I think if you appreciate style, you appreciate all the individual elements that go into creating a personal style... and of course that includes jewels!

WE NOTICED YOU HAVE A COLLECTION OF POSTS ABOUT SUBSCRIPTION BOXES. COULD YOU SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN SUBSCRIPTION BOXES?

Yes yes yes! I'm a huge subscription box fan! Overall, I first look at my budget and what I'm willing to spend and where I'm at financially versus what I really want. I love boxes where you get a lot for the money! And, I especially enjoy boxes where there is an element of surprise! 

LASTLY, WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO?

Well, like I mentioned before, I am in law school at the Charleston School of Law. In two years I'll be graduating and really focusing on taking the bar. In the meantime, I'm looking to expand my blog, and really use it as a tool for not only my personal enjoyment, but also to inspire other thrifty fashionistas to not break their budget in order to look cute!
