budding designers all over the world, but there is something different about
the South. Drive meets hospitality meets
talent and the result {as you’ll see below} is magnetic. When you think High Fashion your mind wanders
to New York, maybe Chicago or LA, but these ladies are changing things and
making their mark right where they are.
In Atlanta and Dallas and Memphis and Nashville to name a few, they are
changing the norm and coming back home to launch their lines. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;">We have great respect for
fashion designers, because while there are certainly similarities to interior
design, they create a brand that must appeal to LOTS of people. In interiors, we choose an aesthetic to
design a room with a certain person or family in mind. But in fashion….you don’t necessarily know
who you are designing for {other than yourself of course.} That’s what makes these ladies
accomplishments even more outstanding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">First, there’s <a href="http://www.leonacollection.com/">Leona,</a> by Lauren Leonard from Nashville, Tn. Lauren founded her dream line in 2008, and
it’s been a non-stop success ever since.
With classic pieces that are work appropriate and lady like (but also
have enough character to take you straight into a fun night on the town) her
line has evolved to include reversible swimwear and, most recently, bridesmaids
dresses too!! With extensive press and
even more promise, this line is one you definitely want to keep your eye on. And while Lauren has recently moved to New
York City to grow her line, she’s proud of where she started and her designs
are soft and graceful…true to their southern roots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

May 31 on our blog!)</a>, founded by
Missy McGuirk in 2011 whose motto is “fashion isn’t a job, it’s a calling.” A grown up Lily Pulitzer looking collection
of loveliness (Missy once modeled for Lily!), there are big things to come for
this southern lady and her bright creations.
With an impressive resume and a stint in NYC, Missy decided to return to
her roots to create Lissa Mar and founded the line in Atlanta. Her line is like a wake up for your wardrobe,
but these well made pieces will be around for many seasons to come! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;">But there’s lots going on in
Atlanta (fashion capital of the south!), so we also caught up with Emerald
August creator, Laura Moylan. This
southern lady, born and raised in Birmingham, got her start at SCAD in Atlanta,
and perfected her passion first by sewing and creating clothes for her twin
nieces. She has since created an eco
conscious line for stylish <i>little</i>
ladies. Each article of clothing is manufactured
in the US with sustainable fabrics and natural fibers whenever possible. Read <a href="http://www.betseyandbecca.blogspot.com/">here</a> to find out a little more about her, today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Oh, and <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/abarclay.com">A. Barclay,</a> one of our favorite new lines, is ANOTHER up and
coming Atlanta based brand that we can’t get enough of. After attending college at Rhodes in Memphis
(where was one of my sister in law’s best friends, so we’ve been on to her collection
from the start!) and a stint in NYC, Anna landed in Atlanta and pursued her
passion by creating a high-end socially responsible line of scarves and resort
wraps. Made with 100% natural fabric
and handcrafted by Italian artisans, the prints are so pretty we want to frame
them on the wall. They are
multi-functional and can be worn as swimsuit cover ups, tops, dresses, and
more. Perhaps the most interesting element
of A. Barclay, however, is the buy and supply program Anna created, where each
scarf purchase goes to support orphans in Tanzania. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">We were also THRILLED to find
out that a fellow Ole Miss lady will be launching an awesome new purse line<a href="http://www.kellywynne.com/">, Kelly Wynne</a>, on May 13<sup>th</sup>. After a three-year stint in public relations,
this Dallas native followed her passion and created a purse line that is sure
to be the next big thing. After just one
year full of research, branding, and sketching, Kelly Wynne came to fruition
and the line is something you surely don’t want to miss. Hard working Kelly not only creates her own
designs, but she locates the materials and hardware, plus takes care of the
business side—<a href="http://dallas.culturemap.com/news/fashion/04-29-13-kelly-wynne-white-handbags/">this article</a>
pens her as the epitome of a Texas, driven, entrepreneur. These sophisticated bags, lined in bright
green an covered in the most covetable fabrics and colors around, can be
preordered through the brands <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shopkellywynne">facebook

BACKORDERD before the website has even launched! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a few weeks back we immediately snatched up a few pieces by another Texas
Native, Gresham Hodges. She’s also
another Ole Miss grad that’s been making jewelry since high school, and travels
internationally to find the right charms for her pieces. With classic styles that get punched up with
color, there are big things ahead for this driven young lady. Check our her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/greshamjewelry">etsy

And finally <a href="http://anniegriffincollection.com/">Annie Griffin</a>, by a sister team from Memphis, is a classic line full of pieces made from rich silks and stunning fabrics. Self proclaimed "southern girls" their designs are hopeful to evoke the delta spirit they grew up with in the heart of the south, and boast easy to wear feminine silhouettes echoing styles from earlier eras. Around since 2009, after the sisters Annie and Robin graduated from SMU and Georgia, respectively, the designs are inspired by Annie's artistic background and marketed with Robin's signature fun flair. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;">While many of these ladies
have spent time in New York or other better known fashion meca’s, they all came
back home to create lines that they (and we) should be proud of. In fabrics and styles we covet for multiple
reasons! (Perhaps to repurpose into pillows or curtains after we’ve gotten a
few wears?) and with eco-friendly and charitable purposes behind them, we are
inspired by these brands. Keep your eye on
these talented southern ladies who are proving that you can start where you are
and with drive and talent, anything is possible. <br />

I'm back with some InDesign skills! Sorry it's taken me so long to get some great product on this site. I am totally loving lucite (or acrylic or clear or plastic even, what have you) for spring - super refreshing and clean. I especially am in love with this gorgeous little acrylic clutch I got at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agoravintage?ref=ts&fref=ts">Agora</a> in Athens. If you want one of your own, give Airee a call there - she'll hook you up!<br />

In the vein of #mysmartercommerce (maybe for us it's #mysmartershopping!), I wanted to introduce you to <a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/">Bonfaire</a>, a fabulous way to shop for coveted handbags, shoes, jewelry, and more - all before everyone else gets their hands on it. Which, in essence, is another way to shop smart! If there's something you really want, you should be able to get it made to order and before everyone else. It's also a smarter way to sell for designers - forget the traditional way that has budget constraints associated with inventory amounts! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/">Bonfaire</a> helps designers take more risks, and in turn gives you more of kinds of product you want. From favorites like <a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/elizabeth-cole-summer-2013">Elizabeth Cole</a> and <a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/missoni-fall-2013">Missoni</a> all the way to brands like <a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/mysuelly-fall-2013">Mysuelly</a> and <a href="http://www.bonfaire.com/vic-fall-2013">Vic</a>, they've got a great assortment of luxury accessories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Check out a few of my favorites currently on the site - but act fast, as designers come and go! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>FOUNDERS CHERYL HAN & ELENOR MAK- </i>As already good friends and then students at Harvard Business School, Cheryl and Elenor shared a love of fashion and style. They enjoyed assembling unique outfits for themselves and their friends, and quickly realized the market for smart, successful women in dire need of help with piecing together clothes for both their professional and personal lives. Later on, after Cheryl had put in her time launching and managing e-commerce sites at big-time beauty companies like L’Oreal and Clarins USA, and Elenor had logged four years as a National Sales Director at Avon, the two came together to combine their business brains with their personal passion for styling. To keep with the times, the pair wanted to build a company that leveraged technology to democratize fashion, making the convenience and attention of the Personal Stylist a luxury afforded to every woman—and out of this venture, <a href="http://www.keatonrow.com/stylist/lauren">Keaton Row</a> was born.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I like to think it was fate :) I was unhappy with my current job and introduced to <a href="http://www.keatonrow.com/stylist/lauren">Keaton Row</a> by a Stylist/Colleague that I worked with at J.Crew. The second I met Cheryl and Elenor and learned more about their vision, I was instantly inspired, hooked and excited. I started freelancing with them as a Stylist and was doing everything I could to help! After months of working with clients, other stylists and getting KR up and running, I left J.Crew and became the Keaton Row Style Editor! I am mainly working on Merchandising, Stylist recruiting and being the overall fashion voice for the company. In only a year, KR has already changed my life!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keaton Row has built an exclusive online catalog for our Stylists to shop and create looks from.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was in charge of our blog, we had just started from scratch and were mainly focusing around our stylists, clients, people who inspire us and fashion trends. So my inspiration came from a variety of places, a mix of real women, aspirational figures in the industry, fasion bloggers and the latest fashion trends! However, currently <a href="https://twitter.com/KRStylist">Allison Daniels</a> (follow her @<a href="https://twitter.com/KRStylist">KRstylist</a>!) is in charge of our blog and social media. She is an extremely talented writer and her creativity and keen fashion sense has taken our blog in a new direction! </span></div>

Did you think you read that incorrectly? I did when IBM first approached me. I'm not a tech geek or even in the top 1000 blogs on the internets. What would IBM want with me? Once I found out more about their campaign for My Smarter Commerce, though, it made sense. It's all about how smarter commerce affects me and how it affects all of us. So what is Smarter Commerce? Watch this super short video if you want to get a bigger picture about what Smarter Commerce means.</div>

Pretty cool, right? So what does #MySmarterCommerce mean to me? For the next 30 days, I'll be tracking how technology shapes my life as a freelancer and fashion girl-on-the-go. This might be in Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or on this blog with updates. </div>

<div id="asset_video_2828_disclosure_description" style="text-align: center;">
Already I can count the ways that I've had #MySmarterCommerce work for me today - reading reviews of an external DVD drive on <a href="http://bestbuy.com/">Bestbuy.com</a> to determine what I purchase, having friends follow me on <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/">Good Reads</a> to see what I'm reading and influencing their choices, and using <a href="http://www.seamless.com/">Seamless Web</a> to order my lunch. I also used my Amazon.com app to order a Kindle cover, used Bill.com to get paid by a client, and helped style a client on my styling platform on <a href="http://www.keatonrow.com/stylist/lauren">KeatonRow</a>. And that was just TODAY!</div>
<div id="asset_video_2828_disclosure_description" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div id="asset_video_2828_disclosure_description" style="text-align: center;">
Please follow me and use the #MySmarterCommerce tag if you engage with me! And, tell me in the comments - how do you use your Smarter Commerce? The more we engage, the more we can all help each other out. And you never know - IBM might be listening out for you, too! It really made me realize how much we actually all contribute to each other's commerce, lifestyle, and choices. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Did you know it's Pancake Month?? We did here in NY - only because THE BEST PANCAKES EVER are made here at Clinton St Baking Co. Don't believe me? Then try to go by there on a Saturday or Sunday and see if your wait is less than 3 hours. I love their pancakes because they're super cake-like with a gorgeous maple butter. And you can now get the recipes from their excellent <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clinton-St-Baking-Company-Cookbook/dp/0316083372/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360807086&sr=8-1&keywords=clinton+st+bakery">cookbook</a> - although I still prefer to go for the experience. Below is the Banana Pancakes Recipe from their book for those of you who can't make it to NY - or don't want to wait 3 hours!</span></div>

<u style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Pancake Instructions:</strong> </span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">1. Measure and sift all the dry ingredients into a large (preferably stainless steel) mixing bowl: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">2. In another bowl, whisk together the yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture. The result should be slightly lumpy, yet combined to form a batter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">3. Whip the egg whites in a medium mixing bowl until they reach medium peaks (soft in the middle). You can either whip them by hand with a whisk, or put them in the bowl of an electric mixer to whip. Be careful, you don’t want to overwhip the egg whites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">4. Gently mix half of the whipped whites into the batter with a large rubber spatula. Then gently fold the remaining half into the batter. Remember: this batter should be slightly lumpy and have large parts of egg whites not fully incorporated; it should look like whitecaps in the ocean with foam on top. (The batter will last a few hours in the fridge without deflating too much.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">5. Heat a griddle — either an electric griddle, a stovetop griddle, or a big flat pan — to 350 to 375°F. Grease the hot griddle with the remaining butter. Drop a cup (approximately 4 tablespoons) of pancake batter on the griddle and cook to set. When you see bubbles start to form on top, lift the pancake halfway up to see if it’s golden brown and crispy on the edges. If ready, flip the pancake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">6. When the pancake is golden brown on both sides, remove with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling, cooking several pancakes at a time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">1. Melt the chocolate, corn syrup, half-and-half, butter, vanilla, chili powder, and cinnamon together in a stainless-steel bowl over a pot filled with warm water on low heat. Mix until smooth. Keep warm until ready to serve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk. Continue whisking as you slowly pour in the seltzer. Set aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">3. Fill a Dutch oven halfway with oil. Heat the oil to 350°F, checking the temperature with a cooking thermometer. Roll the banana halves in the batter and place them on a dish. With tongs, dip a banana tip into the oil and hold firm until the oil begins to bubble. Gently drop the banana half into the oil. Fry 2 banana halves at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bananas turn golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to agitate the bananas every 30 seconds so they do not burn on one side. Repeat with the remaining bananas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #313737; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313737; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.49652862548828px;">4. Place the fried bananas on a paper-towel-lined plate. Slice the bananas on the bias into 1-inch pieces and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar. Serve the slices on top of the pancakes with the Cinnamon Chili Chocolate Sauce.</span></div>

I love Valentino and Alexa doesn't make my skin crawl, but this is the Grammys, not a picnic in France. Regardless, I still love the dress and total look, although she totally looks like July instead of February. Maybe she just came from New York and the Blizzard that was/wasn't and she needed a bit of refreshment. </div>

Been writing my little butt off for a variety of publications, including <a href="http://www.modernman.com/2013-evolve-awards-accessories/">Modern Man</a>, <a href="http://www.nomad-chic.com/search/tag/lauren-finney.html">Nomad-Chic</a>, <a href="http://whatsnew.fschumacher.com/">Shumacher</a>, and more!

<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vine-make-a-scene/id592447445?mt=8">Vine</a> is a really cool video app that I didn't really see much use for about three weeks ago but after NYFW, I've basically seen every look from every show from every vantage point there is through fashion people's Vine accounts.

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tigers-Red-Weather-Liza-Klaussmann/dp/0316211338">Tigers in Red Weather</a> seems like a regular old retro beach read, but the ending is subtly twisted in the best possible way that even I, an avid, voracious reader who has read it all, wasn't expecting.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There's a new sunglass shop in town, and it's not like anything you've ever seen before. Behold: The Monocle Order. I asked Zoe Nightingale, CEO at Monocle Order, a few questions and she quite nicely obliged. Read on to find out how "hurricanes like us" now have an insurance policy against expensive sunnies! Bonus: sunglasses double as eye-protectors in this INSANE cold.</span></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Zoe! Tell me about <a href="http://www.monocleorder.com/">Monocle Order</a>. It's such an interesting concept!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">We launched <a href="http://www.monocleorder.com/">The Monocle Order</a> in June 2011. It started like
most companies, over many glasses of red wine. My co-founder, Alex, was
lamenting that he had lost his latest pair of </span>400
dollar designer sunglasses and suddenly it occurred to us that there should be
a company that provided an insurance policy for hurricanes like us, who destroy
everything in their wake. We wanted to come up with a way to reward true
sunglass aficionados as well as create a secret society to celebrate
wanton excessive love of eyewear. So, we found the best independent designers
from around the world, who create original designs using only the best
materials. We wanted to show people that instead of buying a pair of 300 dollar
branded fashion glasses that you could pay less for a handmade gorgeous piece of
wearable art - whose lens would actually protect your eyes. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sounds awesome. So who do you carry if not the usual branded fashion glasses?</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had such a great day playing with the girls at <a href="http://tulestemarket.com/">Tuleste</a> that I had to put them in a <a href="http://wherethestylethingsare.blogspot.com/search/label/spotlight%20on%20%28our%20favorite%20people%29">Spotlight On</a>. I've always loved their playful yet classic aesthetic and got a sneak peek of what they're up to these days including their first styling credit for a movie! <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509788/">Ass Backwards</a>, staring Casey Wilson (Ah-MAZing) of Happy Endings, Alicia Silverstone, and June Diane Raphael, will debut at Sundance this upcoming week. I am a huge Casey Wilson fan so I can't wait to see what this movie is all about - as well as how the <a href="http://www.tulestemarket.com/">Tuleste</a> girls styled out the main characters with their quirky, classic, California style. Check out my day with them and Diego the fish below!</div>
<br />
These North Cal girls have a huge vintage archive and are really into natural elements but get their inspirations from everywhere.<br />

Tuleste is for everyone from 15-70, and a huge bonus and draw (for me, at least) is that they make 99% of what is in their collection here in the US. A small, family-owned factory in Providence, Rhode Island is responsible for making these gorgeous, timeless pieces. Did you know that Providence used to be a huge costume jewelry manufacturing site? The Tuleste girls love that they can hop in the car and drive to the factory as opposed to flying half way around the world to China, where factories and manufacturing has changed a lot in recent years. </div>

Hey y'all - wanted to check in with a simple post to let you know that I'm still here, alive and kicking - but just a little slower than usual. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lauren-finney/on-the-heels-of-lupus-for-fashion_b_1504381.html">Lupus</a> really gets me during winter and I've been fortunate enough to have a lot of other (paying!) work to put ahead of blogging. For those of you that follow me on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/laurenf">pinterest</a>, you'll see that it's been my main form of communication with the world for the past few weeks because <i>they just make it so easy</i>. So make sure to follow me on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/laurenf">pinterest</a> to get an idea where my head is at aesthetically and what I'm loving daily and I PROMISE new posts on the blog soon! And for all of you out there in the fluinverse suffering from viruses and head colds and what not - feel better soon!</div>

Next I made a pit stop at my favorite, favorite place in Athens - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agoravintage?fref=ts">Agora</a>. I've gotten two Chanel bags here and my friend Leckie picked up her own 2.55 when we were there! Scenes from the shop include a cutie little <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agoravintage?fref=ts">Ferragamo cross body</a> (available now, $399!), the formidable and fun proprietress, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/agoravintage?fref=ts">Airee</a>, in an 1800's top hat, and tons of fun earrings. </div>
