I'm a dash of Jackie O. A pinch of Elly May. A splash of Quelques Fleurs. A jigger of pickle juice. My friends call me Boots. My name is JoBeth. I'm just a southern girl who adores a great tune, a delicious meal, beautiful flowers, a frilly dress, and the perfect shoe. I'm married to a curly haired boy I call "The Angler". By day, I'm a healthcare stategist with a passion for NonProfits. I have a Masters degree in food. Literally. I am a registered dietitian, but I do love burgers and chocolate chip cookies. I survived being President of the Junior League. I'm a daydreamer, an avid i-pod shuffler and a novice photographer. I love to laugh. I'm often silly with a heapin' helpin' of sappy. I'm blessed beyond measure and amazed by God's grace. I try to keep my high heels walking in faith one step at a time, It's my prayer to help other women live beautiful, gracious lives.
Like all true southerners, I come from a long line of storytellers. My favorite stories paint pictures. And great pictures tell stories. I hope to accomplish both on this blog. So, grab yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick off your Manolo's and sit a spell on my virtual veranda. Flair and folly awaits.
Do tell!

Each of us could use a little motivation now and then. Monday’s seem to be the day that I need an extra hit of mojo to make this Jo go. Starting this series with the cutest little cheerleader.
Have a GREAT day, Y’all !

Yay! Autumn is finally here. Nothing signifies the coming of fall like the bins of apples in the grocery surrounded by the caramel dip, caramel candies, and best of all the sheets of caramel to wrap up the fruit. A friend once caught me dancing in the produce section of Kroger when I spotted the first ”wrapples” package of the season. Yes, I seriously get that excited about about my caramel wraps. Folks can have those pumpkin spice lattes. When it comes to fall, I’m a caramel apple girl.
What’s not to like about a Caramel Apple? They are the best of both worlds – a little bit naughty with all that melted sugar + a completely wholesome and good for you fruit.
Then there’s the beautiful pairing of the deep reds against the rich tan colors – yummy for the tastebuds or your fashion palette.
Here are a few of my favorite caramel + red pairings found on Pinterest this week.
Love the idea of serving caramel apples on clean apple branches
red lips + caramel blonde hair
These booties paired with caramel wrap dress. Swoon.
A cider bar is a perfect addition to a fall celebration
I am on the hunt for a pair of trouser cut red pants. I love how she paired this with the caramel top and gold jewelry.
Oh my. A caramel apple cake. How cute to serve with a dowel and ribbon.
This vintage lace dress proves caramel + red is a classic combination
I could definitely enjoy my caramel apple al fresco here
Apples on a stick are nearly as delicious as pockets on a dress.
I am over the moon for this plaited caramel hued bag from Zara. What a steal at $149.
No apple bottoms here in this Prada brocade number. I’m not sure where one would wear this, but the fabric is stunning.
Since I won’t be sporting a brocade swimsuit anytime soon, how about caramel apple cheesecake bars. Heaven.
Be the apple of his eye in this gorgeous red dress.
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but it takes motivation to eat it.
The world is our apple, it’s time to get out there and take a bite.
Happy Fall Y’all
