Seersucker Friday

by Meredith W. Sullivan
May 18, 2012

When @FlyJFP Twitter followers make a request, I try my best to deliver. I hear that there are people around town who adhere to the rules of Seesucker Fridays from Easter to the end of the summer. So when they asked for a spread, I was out the next day scouring the city for all the seersucker I could find.

CORRECTED May 18, 2012 to show correct price for men's orange seersucker and plaid shorts from Red Square. read on »

Stealing Ideas

by Julie Skipper
May 9, 2012

It happens. Sometimes, a girl about town needs to get away. Also, sometimes she's dating a person who really, really wants to see Van Halen on tour. In my case, the two combined to result in a weekend road trip to St. Louis, Mo.

Memorable and Thrifty

by Debbie Raddin
May 2, 2012

Recently, close friends of mine completed two days of ceremonial bliss at an unbelievably low cost. They held both the rehearsal dinner and the reception at the location of the wedding. This couple had unforgettable fun in creating eclectic fare for their reception. The serving tables were draped with linen-like cloths and covered with large tin serving pieces of their favorite foods including Zapp's potato chips, which they ordered by the case at an affordable ... read on »

Married to the M.O.B.

by Kimberly Nailor
May 2, 2012

Your best friends are supposed to be your biggest supporters, offering constructive guidance and support through the stressful wedding planning period. But oftentimes, even your best support systems buckle under the strain. Dealing with these bridal party members (affectionately termed "M.O.B." or "Menaces of the Bride") can be frustrating, hurtful and disappointing for the bride-to-be. Every bride needs to know how to manage certain situations involving members ... read on »

The Shades of Spring

by Meredith W. Sullivan
April 18, 2012

You guys already know my thoughts on accessories: More is more, and this includes sunglasses. We can never have too many pairs. We have multiple handbags and multiple cars, so it's only natural that we have a pair of sunglasses for each. After all, it is important to protect our eyes, and we must look great while doing so.

Films and Fast Girls

by Julie Skipper
April 11, 2012

I tend to adhere to the rule that if you're old enough to have experienced a trend the first time, you shouldn't wear it the second time around. Case in point: This season's colored denim trend sends me straight back memories of fifth grade and an awesome pair of salmon-colored Guess jeans that I loved. While ordinarily I would have bypassed any bright denim this go-round, the good folks at Red Square Clothing (1000 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, ... read on »

Picture Perfect For Prom

April 11, 2012

I remember it like it was yesterday: The long, black gown with gold sequins, the shoes I just had to have (even though they were a half size too small), the tanning sessions, the manicure, the up-do—PROM! It's that time of year again, when all the gals are getting pretty for prom. Thankfully, it's no longer 1999, and prom wear is much more fun. Step out of the box and dance the night away as a rockabilly babe, a pastel princess, a Grecian goddess or a rocker chick. Have fun ... read on »

The Nontraditional Wedding

by Tam Curley
April 4, 2012

Why settle for a traditional wedding if you desire to go outside the box? If you're a minimalist, nature lover or just plain spunky, incorporate distinctive elements to personalize your special day. "More couples are opting these days for untraditional weddings that reflect their own personalities and preferences," writes Liz Pitts in "Planning Tips for Untraditional Weddings" on http://www.lifescript.com. "Embracing the notion that their wedding day is truly meant ... read on »
