What brought you down south:
After eighteen years in the exact same place, I decided to pack my bags and head south to Nashville for college. Everyone told me it would be “different” from the north, but at that age, I could not conceptualize north/south cultural differences. I was shell-shocked initially but now I love the south (and country music). I think about my favorite places in Nashville all too often – Calypso Cafe (oh those Boija muffins), Mambu, Printer’s Alley, and Demonbreun Street. I can’t wait to go back for homecoming this fall! I’ve been settled in Washington, D.C. since finishing up at Vanderbilt.

Now would ya look at that:
Lauren is half of Necessary and Proper, a style blog based in D.C. Come back tomorrow to meet Van, the other half.

• Sequin necklace.
• ASOS dress.
• Tory Burch bag.
• Loeffler Randall heels.

Most underrated thing about Lubbock:
It has a really good music scene and great local food. Cap Rock Cafe is my favorite – huge skooner margarita, queso burger and the best French fries.

Now would ya look at that:
Remember Copeland? Meet his mom, Emily, enjoying some rocker time on a Sunday afternoon.

• Tory Burch earrings (private sale).
• Anthropologie sweater.

Best thing about living in Knoxville:
The best thing about Knoxville (besides the southern girls) is the location. Deep down, I’m a redneck…I love country music, fishing, riding horses, and shooting guns. If you’re not into that you can go downtown, take the boat on the lake, head to the farm, or backpack in the mountains. Also, we’re close to Nashville, Atlanta, and the Carolinas if you want to skip town for a few days!

Now would ya look at that:

• Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot (his favorite boots).
• Levi’s 511 skinny jeans.
• J. Crew buffalo check flannel.
• Levi’s leather jacket.

Favorite thing about your college town:
My favorite thing about Auburn, Alabama is how, in true college town form, everything is geared toward students. It feels like summer camp – extended summer camp. With lots of barbeque and football thrown in.

Now would ya look at that:
When I met Anna she was folding hundreds of Volunteer Traditions shirts, wearing this cute get up.

• Urban Outfitters top and red jeans.
• Ralph Lauren huarache shoes from 1986 (the year she was born). “I distinctly remember my mom wearing them when I was younger. They’ve always been my favorite, so it’s so fun to wear them now.”

Favorite thing about your TOMS:
I can run and jump so fast in them and I can put them on by myself.

Now would ya look at that:
Four years old and so cool. Sunglasses and shorts from Gap, blue gingham shirt from Target, and TOMS Cordones. See more photos of Copeland being ridiculously good looking here.

Favorite thing about Nashville:
I love the casual atmosphere and southern fashion traditions (the fall clothes, no white after Labor Day, cowboy boots). There is always something to do and you’re always surrounded by music. It’s a good change from Florida.

Now would ya look at that:
Allison is the Production Manager at Leona and is wearing their Wallace tie linen trousers and Queen City top. Also noted, her monogrammed necklace. This was shot outside the Leona studio on 12th South in Nashville.
