Big Boo Cast: Episode 415

Oh, how the college football turns have tabled. My Aggies traveled from the mountaintop to the valley this past weekend, so as you can imagine, I’m still processing my emotions re: the loss. However, the good news is that this week marks the first installment of our annual holiday gift guide, and we’re just as happy as we can be about that. Plus, we talk about our favorite fruity candy flavors, so basically we’re changing the world one podcast episode at a time.

So excited to see some of you in Dallas this week – and hope you enjoy, everybody!

Fashion Friday: Edition Happy November 1

Well, here it is. The first of November and kids all up and down the street were having to take off their Halloween costumes last night because it was so hot.

I’m over it.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week:

1. chunky western charm necklace

When I went to Round Top a few weeks ago, charm necklaces were everywhere and I think they are just the cutest. This would be a great Christmas gift.

It’s $78.

2. new balance 480 sneakers

How cute are these? They come in other colors but I love this green.

They are $90.

3. cap sleeve t-shirt

I bought this on a whim a few weeks ago because it’s still so hot and I needed another short sleeve shirt. It is beyond my expectations and I immediately ordered it in black. It’s great by itself or layered under something.

It’s $14.99.

4. skies are blue ruffle dress

This would be a great dress for the holidays. Love the color.

It’s $79.

5. leopard pleated shirt dress

This is such a great leopard dress. You could wear it with tall black boots and it would be perfection.

It’s $79.

6. elan sweater shirt combo

I love a shirt sweater combo that I don’t have actually layer. This also comes in a taupe color.

It’s $99.

7. sequined a-line dress

Such a great dress to have in your closet for the holidays. You could dress it up with heels, wear it with tall boots or even just dress it down with sneakers.

It’s $49.99.

8. so soft mini sweater dress

This dress is as good as the sweater. It’s so soft, comes in several color options and is just great by itself or under a blazer or denim jacket.

It’s on sale for $30.99.

9. Oakley harness boots

I tried these on at Target and they are so good. Super comfortable and I’ve always loved a harness boot.

They are $44.99.

10. allie + bess wonderland necklace stack

Allie + Bess released their holiday collection and this stack has my heart. I love all the shades of green. You can buy the whole stack or just the separate pieces. It would also make a great Christmas gift. You can get 20% off everything on their site with the code MELANIE20.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

BTHO South Carolina.

Big Boo Cast: Episode 414

The Aggies are at the top of the SEC football standings, so naturally we talk all about that on this episode – along with the state of my legs and feet after walking about 13,000 steps in her full-length cowboy boots. And in Sophie’s neck of the woods, she cooked for Alex and his buddies this past Sunday night, so it’s been BUTTER AHOY in Birmingham.

We also discuss reading ruts and how to maybe / hopefully / possibly snap out of them, and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

Fashion Friday: Edition the Aggies are at the top of the SEC and I will cherish this moment

This is coming in hot because I have about a million things going on and I’m trying to pack to leave town because the Aggie are playing LSU and I have to be there.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. wanda dress

Love this dress. So cute with tall boots. Perfect for Thanksgiving.

It’s $74.

2. jasmine satin midi dress

This dress is so gorgeous and so well made. Perfect with or without the belt and I love this color scheme for the holidays.

It’s $198.

3. Maeve embellished ruffled cardigan sweater

This is just gorgeous. So easy to dress up or down.

It’s $128.

4. universal thread denim maxi skirt

I know I’ve shown this before but I promise this is the best denim skirt for the price. It’s a steal at $36. I would size up if in between.

5. libba top

Love this top with jeans. Or the denim skirt above.

It’s $78.

6. another day sweater

Where are my Aggie girls? This is such a cute gameday sweater.

It’s $62.

7. ruffle hem shirt dress

How cute is this dress for the holidays? I love the red but it also comes in green.

It’s just $34.99.

8. puff short sleeve sweater

Love this puff sleeve sweater. It’s the perfect thing with jeans or a skirt.

It’s $32.99 but a 10% off coupon and comes in so many color options.

9. araceli booties

These booties look so similar to a pair I have that were double the price. I love everything about these and they are on sale for $67.50.

10. humble chic drop hoop earrings

I got these yesterday and I love them. They are big but so light and just a great accessory.
They are $17.89.

That’s it for today.

Have a great Friday.

BTHO LSU.

Big Boo Cast: Episode 413

For the second year in a row, The Big Boo Bowl was the Aggies’ time to shine, but Sophie still had a fine time in Starkville. So this week we discuss her very brief interaction with Dan Mullen, her enduring affection for the 2014 Mississippi State Bulldogs, and why it’s bad form to throw objects on the field during a football game. Hypothetically.

We also talk about the non-football parts of our weekends, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.
Enjoy, everybody!
