And if you don’t recognize him from those two shows, then where have you been? Man of Style John Krasinski has been in countless movies and is married to the lovely Emily Blunt, who was one of my “Women of Style” a few months ago.

A Southern Woman's Shoe Guide + Where to Buy Them / www.vanessahwood.com

Yesterday, I featured a guest post about the twelve shoes every southern woman should have in her closet, and I told you that I would share some links to where you could purchase some of these styles. Well, here you have it — a southern woman’s shoe guide. I didn’t include links to all twelve shoe styles featured on Monday’s post, only the ones that I felt would carry you through the rest of fall and all through winter. But as Holly wrote in her guest post, trends come and go, but there are some classics that every southern woman should […]
