Ben from Starboard Clothing Co. just emailed me introducing me to his line of beautifully crafted bowties.
Now, I like women’s fashion just as much as the next girl, but there is something oh-so-charming about clothing for men. And bowties??? I am a sucker for boy in a bowtie!
Starboard Clothing Co. was started by Ben Meredith, one of the co-owners/co-writers of one of the preppiest blogs on the block Bowties and Bowshoes. It’s only fitting that he started his own bowtie company!!!
The names of the bowties are absolutely precious…. I’m thinking there should definitely be a Carly Abigail one (anyone else agree??? haha)…
Oh dear. These bowties make me really want a boyfriend. Just so that I can match him right up with me.
But really, how cute would the yellow seersucker bowtie look with my blue seersucker dress???
+
= LOVE
If you are one of the lucky ones with preppy beaus (or, even better, a preppy beau yourself)… I think your next gift for your boyfriend must certainly come from Starboard Clothing Co!!!
Oh… and guess what! This post goes live at midnight and so does the new spring line!
I am officially in love! Starboard clothing co. your bowties have stolen my heart! Bowties make me swoon 😉 I will have to get my boyfriend one of these! too cute
SO CUTE! My boyfriend loves bowties so much he would wear a bowtie with his pjs if that were acceptable! I will definitely go take a look right now! Thanks for posting!
Have you ever worn/seen any of the Tracy Negoshian line. They sell it at either The Pink Palm or Kate Mckenzie in Tampa (my boyfriend lives in Tampa, I live in Miami. Tracy is a st. pete based designer and there was a big write up about her a month ago in the st pete times. She makes awesome, flattering dresses in tunics in normal preppy colors and SEC college colors. I have an adorable bell sleave orange and blue print dress in my beloved Gator colors. the uf football coaches wife, shelly meyer, wore one to the last uf bowl game and her picture was on the front page of the st pete times. I read that your sis goes to UF, she has to check out these dresses!! A uf sorority girl's dream!
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!
Traded in my mom jeans for a @jcrew tuxedo this holiday season! Whether you’re dressing up, getting cozy, or picking out a gift for someone special, J. Crew has you covered! #injcrew #sponsored

#ZarbeesPartner I love putting together thoughtful gifts for new moms and their families. Especially as the seasons change, having the right products helps everyone feel prepared and at ease. You can never predict when your household will get hit by a cold or flu so I always recommend having trusted products on hand so you’re never left in a pinch. For this gift, I included our go-to @zarbees Baby Daytime & Nighttime Cough Syrup + Immune. Made with organic agave to soothe baby’s dry throat and zinc to support their immune system, it’s safe for little ones 6 months and older. The nighttime formula even has chamomile to calm and comfort before bedtime—a must-have for peaceful nights 💛 Be prepared and order on @amazon.

I am in LOVE with bow ties! I wish my bf wore them!
I really really love vinyard vines ties and southern proper tees too!
I love that you incorporated some male fashion into your blog! Awesome!
I am definitely buying one of these for my boyfriend's birthday in April! I'm thinking one of the seersucker ones is essential to his wardrobe!
Oh honey. You want to match your boyfriend to your outfits. That's probably why you don't have one!
Where did you get that dress? It's adorable.
