Beall's....A Florida Institution

My visits to Florida are not complete without a trip to Beall's with my Virginia mom.

Have y'all heard of Beall's?

It's pronounced "Bell's" and my Virginia mom and I love to shop there!

It's sort of like Kohl's goes on vacation...

tons of "resort wear" at very reasonable prices.

It seems like they have an "extra 20% off" sale every other week,

and many of the regular sales are 40-50% off.

You can find name brands such as Nike, Sperry, Columbia, and Jones of New York,

but they definitely specialize in "Florida-fashion" and carry a lot of their own brands.

Here are some of my Beall's favorites from this season...

Chambray Shirt

This shirt actually looks better in person...it's a little more" fitted" then the picture shows.

I bought one and it's very similar JCrew's chambray shirt,

but the fabric is much softer and it's a fraction of the price.

Anchor Shorts

These are just ADORABLE....pink twill Bermuda shorts with white anchors embroidered.

They also come in kelly green and navy blue....LOVE them!

Columbia Knit Skirt

This navy and white skirt hits just above the knee,

 and I plan to wear it with a simple white t-shirt and my navy and white Jack Rogers...

perfect outfit for work this spring and summer!

Sperry Topsider

These were on sale and my Virginia mom ended up getting them for me for FREE

with her "Beall's Bucks" which is the same thing as "Kohl's Cash"

if y'all know what that is.

Pink Flower Statement Necklace

This is also similar to JCrew's flower statement necklace

and it comes in many fun colors.

They had a MILLION different statement necklaces, which I don't wear but my girls do!

Anchor Print Shorts

These are similar to the ones above, but the anchors are printed on the fabric,

and these have a shorter inseam....they also have a hint of stretch!

They also have a skort in the same print but with Nantucket red anchors...

I couldn't decided between the two...so I got both.

The prices are SO reasonable that it's easy to go crazy in this store....

If you are looking for some fun spring and summer things at bargain prices,

Beall's is a good place to shop.

They also have home decor, beach accessories, kids clothes, menswear, luggage...

it truly is a department store.

They do have a website so you can order online,

and they have many locations all over Florida.

Have y'all ever heard of Beall's?

Nautical News from Talbots

As I mentioned earlier this week,

I am enjoying daydreaming about spring as the spring catalogs flood my mailbox.

One of my favorites arrived yesterday...Talbots

and they have a fabulous line of Nautical inspired pieces!

I love navy and white for spring and summer and I have a "thing" for anchors!

(Go Navy!)

Here are some of my top picks from their Spring catalog...

 This Anchor Stripe Sweater would look adorable with navy cropped pants!

 This Rope Print Tunic is a perfect cover up to go with my navy swimsuit!

 How adorable are these shoes???? LOVE them!

This Anchor and Rope Bangle comes in red and navy as well! 

Love this Anchor Shirt....would wear it with red, white, or bright green cropped pants!

Have you had a look at the Talbots spring catalog?
