Meet Some of Our Favorite Bloggers this Spring



We'd like to introduce some of the ladies who have inspired our styling trends, social media posts and  season favorites! These ladies come from different states, they work differing day-jobs, and have their own unique style, but they all share one commonality; impeccable style and an undying love for fashion! Which makes them perfect candidates for our favorite bloggers this spring. 

Hannah is a southern-California based working girl who started this blog as a creative outlet for all things she adores. Hannah contacted the Southern Fashion House team about collaborating, after running across our brand on a fashion blog. Her free, West-coast bohemian style add a little edge to our more classic styles. We look forward to seeing what she has in store for us this summer!

"I thrive off finding the best deals possible, and love to share them with my readers!" - Hannah

 Probably Polka Dots // Nicole 
A middle school teacher by day, and blogger by night, this sweet southern gal is an Atlanta native, and has one of the most adorable blogs around town. Nicole was one of our first bloggers to work with collaboratively. We met Nicole via Instagram in 2013, and have enjoyed working with her ever since. Not only does she post about "swoon-worthy style," beauty tips and all things fashion, she also introduces her readers to fun new brands, restaurants and unique DIY projects/decorating. Nicole's southern roots and chic style make her one of her favorite fashion bloggers!

fresh flowers in mint julep cups, Augusta National pimento cheese, 
& of course polka dots."

A Lovely Day for Office Visitors



This past week we were blessed with the opportunity to host the Troy University Marketing Club at the Southern Fashion House office. After a very informative tour by Troy alumna and our leading lady, Stephanie Carter, the group was able to see the ins and outs of running a fashion company. 

The neat thing about the visit was that Stephanie, a few years ago, was in these students position. Stephanie was a marketing major, and was given an assignment by one of her marketing professors, Dr. Garret, to make a business model to market; it was called Deja Vu

We hope this brings you a bit of encouragement and inspiration to your life and dreams!

Dream Big!
XOXO

Spring Activities: DIY


Spring is quickly approaching and as the warm weather arrives we thought it would be a great time to get out doors and do some DIY projects. Here are a few of our favorites! We hope you'll be inspired to get out there and do it yourself!  
Happy Creating!
XOXO

Project #1: Painted Votives

These adorable hand-painted votives are the easiest way to brighten your home or event this spring {not to mention they are super easy!}
{source: Oncewed.com}

Project #2: Sugar Scrub
Ingredients
5 cups white granulated sugar
1/3 cup organic coconut oil (melted)
1/3 cup organic jojoba oil
3 tsp extract (mint/orange/lemon/vanilla*/rosewater) (use 1/2 tsp per 1 cup sugar mixture)
a couple drops food coloring.
Instructions
  1. In a large pot with a can protector (or what I did was put the rims of the cans on the bottom), place the cans at the bottom, and fill the pot until the water covers the jars. Heat to a simmer then remove to let dry. Turn off the heat and let the mental lids sit in the hot water while you fill the jars.
  2. Mix together white granulated sugar and both coconut and jojoba oils until evenly distributed.
  3. If you're making a big batch of 1 flavour, add 3 tsp whichever extract and food colouring and mix until incorporated. If you're making separate flavours, add 1/2 tsp extract per 1 cup of the mixture.
  4. Store in the sanitized, jars, packing the sugar tightly. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.


Project #3: DIY Instagram Magnets
