Hail the blue and white.

We run a little stint over on Back Down South aptly titled 7 in 7.

From white-after-Easter to boots, the series features a bit of little-known info on a Southernism accompanied with some pretty inspiring photography shot by the lovely Caroline.

Seersucker season is 'bout to close up shop, so follow along this week for a final toast.

What are you going to miss when we pack it all up Labor Day weekend?

Giveaway: Shyanne Boots

There comes a time in every Alabama-transplant-midtown-Atlanta-tower-working-yuppie girl's life when she realizes that Lucchese boots don't particularly gel with a closet of J. Crew pencil skirts.

Thus another reason for Fridays. And Saturdays and Sundays.

I threw open the box lid, inhaled that comforting new-leather smell, and popped on this pair of Shyannes for a evening jaunt across the state line to Auburnville in support of a music-makin' friend. I must declare, they scuttle quite well across the Sky Bar dance floor.

For someone that holds the same standard for eligible bachelors (dance floor preparedness), the shoes, at least, are working for me.

This Friday, one lucky reader is granted her wish from Boot Barn's Shyanne collection.

One entry each for:

• leaving a comment (include your email address)
• tweeting about the giveaway and link back to this post (tag @EAStallings and/or @BootBarn)

You may enter as many times as you please, ma'am.

End date: Friday, Aug. 17th at midnight.

Enjoy, lovelies!
