Dear, Deserving Dad
June 17 is fast approaching, and there's no better time to make Dad feel special. Make your pop proud on Father's Day with any of these great gifts from local shops around town.
Chic at Security
I was at the security checkpoint in the airport last week with approximately 14 minutes until my departing flight. Of course, as fate would have it, I was trapped behind someone who had to de-robe from lace-up wedges and remove 97 bracelets. I'm all about accessories, but in this situation it's important to remember that it is possible to be stylish and comfortable without lots of extras while traveling.
Seersucker Friday
When @FlyJFP Twitter followers make a request, I try my best to deliver. I hear that there are people around town who adhere to the rules of Seesucker Fridays from Easter to the end of the summer. So when they asked for a spread, I was out the next day scouring the city for all the seersucker I could find.
Show Mom She's Special
Mother's Day (May 13) is coming fast. Are you ready? Although most moms would be satisfied with a hug and an "I love you" on their special day, we suggest you up the ante this year and show her how special she really is with a memorably great gift. Here are a few suggestions from around town.
The Shades of Spring
You guys already know my thoughts on accessories: More is more, and this includes sunglasses. We can never have too many pairs. We have multiple handbags and multiple cars, so it's only natural that we have a pair of sunglasses for each. After all, it is important to protect our eyes, and we must look great while doing so
Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Does one make a list for the Easter Bunny? Or is that just Santa? Regardless, the bunny is on his way, and this year I decided to put together a guide for him. I'd be happy if he blesses my basket with any of these great gifts that I've seen around town.
The Rest of the Story
A good stylist always has options. We show up to a shoot with more clothes than we need, just in case. That means we always have pieces or looks that we love but just couldn't work into the current assignment. Here are a few of my favorites that didn't make the spring fashion shoot (see page 20) but could well be in your wardrobe for the upcoming season.
What Happened to Winter?
It seems that winter almost completely passed us by this year, which means our local stores still have stock. Lucky for us, most fall and winter merchandise is marked down, making now a perfect time to scoop up some basics for next year. While I was out around town, I found some excellent things that will be great to work into next winter's wardrobe.
I Believe in Love
Valentine's Day often gets a bad rap. Some think it's too sappy, and others think it should be called "Singles Appreciation Day." Regardless of whether you're in a relationship, I believe Valentine's Day is a day to acknowledge love—love for yourself, love for your family and friends, love for your significant other and love for life! Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.
I Do, I Do
When someone's getting married, you can usually count on several parties and showers in addition to the wedding itself. And all require gifts, of course. Jackson's local stores have fantastic selections for every wedding-related event, whether you're the giver or the receiver.
