Splurge vs. Steal: Blaze the Trail

We are off to Asheville, NC this weekend to celebrate Heath & Molly, the future Mr. & Mrs. Milligan. From the minute Molly came on the scene, we all knew she was a keeper for our Keath. Cheers to you both, and many more weekends of freeloading off the Milligans on Sea Island. I know that's right!
Being in the mountains, Asheville is always about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Athens which means August brings perfect evening temperatures for dancing under the stars. One could grab the standard pashmina to stay warm, but why not look a little edgier, and top that dress off with a blazer?
(The "Steal" side has some real gems this week. That dress is $98 and those adorable tassel earrings are only $50. Although, I am really thinking my closet could use an Equipment blazer for fall... )

Splurge vs. Steal: All White Now

I am declaring this summer, the summer of the white blazer. 
I actually pulled a white blazer from a bag awaiting it's consignment destiny when I saw all these impossibly chic women looking fresh and hip in my castoff from my former working girl days. There isn't even the tiniest hint of late 90's cubicle in any of these blazers.  
Every now and again I find the Steal side more lust-worthy than the Splurge items. This is one of those times. That Yosemite tee and neon bag are ordered and en route to my house...

Splurge vs. Steal: Romp Shaker

Next weekend Mr. Fonty and I are headed to Naples, FL for the wedding weekend of Harrison & Meghan. I am seriously excited to not only watch the lovebirds tie the knot (Duh! They're the cutest), but to also get in some beach time!
A wedding at the beach means the formal rules of attire go out the window. There are so many great rompers this season. I am thinking of rocking one at the rehearsal dinner...thinking. We'll see if I can pull it off.

Pardon me, have we met?

Oh, hello there. No, your eyes are not mistaking you. The blog formerly known as FontyFest is back (for today). I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been feeding my unhealthy addiction to Candy Crush (thanks, mom) and Pretty Little Liars -- preferably feeding said addictions simultaneously (whilst laying in bed) which leads to much Roku rewinding since I was too engrossed in "clearing the jelly" to see what A texted Aria that made her look like this: 
Somehow while I was holed up watching 32 episodes of Pretty Little Liars, it became fall! Saturday marks the first home game for the Georgia Bulldawgs, and I am all ready for tailgating and sporting my red & black. 
Along with football season comes a round of fall weddings. Those October "Save the Dates" have been replaced on the event bulletin board with formal invitations, and it is time to get shopping for another round of weddings... not that I am complaining. I wish my wedding wardrobe included some of this YSL jewelry...
