July Favorites

Hello lovelies! It's hard to believe that summer is nearly over, it feels like it just started yesterday! Let's all hope that August won't fly by as quickly as the rest of this summer has! But let's be real, we'll all be sitting in class before we know it. On a less depressing note though, I've been loving quite a few things this month & I've been so excited to share them all with you! Sooo, without further adieu.....

One // J.Crew Fringed Fan Necklace: If you all remember from my J.Crew post a few weeks ago, I snagged this beauty for an amazing $2.99! Yes, you read that right, $2.99!!! The weather where I live as been a bit colder than it should be, so I've been able to break out my chambray shirts and this necklace accents them perfectly.

Two // Tory Burch Marion Crossbody: This has been my go-to purse lately! It was a lot smaller than I anticipated when I ordered it a few months ago, but I have grown to love it. It's the perfect size for when you're out on the go and won't be bringing much with you. It has credit slots in it, so I just throw my phone and keys in it & I'm ready to go!

Three // Kate Spade Agenda: I decided to break away from my usual Lilly Pulitzer Agenda's this year and give kate spade a try. I've been obsessed with polka dot's lately, so this was perfect for me. I've been so busy with getting ready for the LSAT and briefing cases for Moot Court, I already have my August full! If you're on the fence like I was about which agenda to buy, definitely give kate a try!! 

 Four // Dance Moms: Growing up a dancer, I had to watch this when it first premier a few years ago and I've been hooked since. It is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. As much as I sit there shaking my head at most of it, I can't turn it off. I felt as though it was appropriate to give one of my favorite shows a little blog love as the show premiers tonight.

Five // Columbia PFG: I've (finally) been spending a lot of the time at the pool and lake over the last few weeks. I was so excited to break out my PFG! I definitely prefer using this as a cover up vs a dress/tunic. They're super comfortable, and surprisingly very cool as well! Unfortunately, mine isn't monogrammed (yet).

Six // Target Mossimo Sandals: These have easily become one of my favorite sandals!! If you all remember from my haul post a few weeks ago, I was dying to find the glitter pair of these sandals. I lucked out and found a pair about a week and a half ago. I wore these out with my parents this past weekend, and after a long evening of doing nothing but walking, they were to my surprise extremely comfortable! You can't go wrong with an adorable and comfortable pair of sandals!

What were some of your July favorites?

Friday Five!

Happy Friday everyone! This summer is flying by, but I couldn't be happier that it's finally the weekend. It has been one crazy and hectic week. Here are a few things I have been loving lately:

one // Botched 

I cannot believe how addicted I have gotten to this show. Being a Real Housewives addict, I had to give it a try seeing as both of the doctors are OC & Beverly Hills (well, former) husbands! I definitely didn't think it'd become a favorite of mine whatsoever, but I can't get enough of it. If you're squeamish like myself, you may have to flip the channel a few times here and there but that has yet to pull me away from me. If you haven't given it a chance yet, I definitely would recommend it!! Watch it Sundays at 10PM on E!

two // Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

This is hands down my holy grail mascara. I've never been to pay for high-end makeup, but I received this as in a Lilly Pulitzer Gift bag and I fell in love. This almost never clumps or dries out, it's absolutely worth the $27 (or something like that) a bottle! I highly recommend to definitely give it a try!

three // J.Crew Baseball Sweater

I picked up this beauty for $14 the other week during J.Crew's big Clear the Clearance Sale, and I have never been so obsessed with a sweater before. I've worn it at least four times in the last week (oops), it's so comfortable I don't want to take it off. It's extremely soft and cozy, I ordered it a size up so it would have an oversized fit. I cannot get enough!!

four // Essie Mod Square

This is definitely one of my favorite colors, it's all I've been wearing lately! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear it too. Essie's formula doesn't seem to have good consistency, but I'm so impressed with this color! Definitely recommend it!

five // Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The holy grail of all sales. If you haven't checked out this sale... RUN, don't walk, to your nearest Nordstrom store or check it out at Nordstrom's website NOW. There are some great deals going on, and prices go up August 4th, so go grab these steals while you can! I have quite a few things on my list that I'll hopefully be getting my hands on in a few days (crossing my fingers they still have everything I want)!

What are some things you're loving this week?

  

Favorite Summer Polishes

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! I have yet to do a post about some of favorite colors this summer, so I figured what better time than now. I am a complete Essie addict. I feel like a complete traitor if I buy any other brand (although, I am slowly becoming an OPI fan. GASP!). I always look forward to the neon collection, and this year was no disappointment! I notice a lot of people complain about how Essie's neons aren't really "neon", but this year I've found the colors really pop (especially "I'm Addicted"). If you haven't checked out the neon collection yet, definitely do so. You won't regret it!

June Favorites

HAPPY JULY EVERYONE! 

July is such a bittersweet month. Most of my summer fun happens in in the month of July, but July only means one thing... Another school year is right around the corner. No one likes that. I hope you all have had a great June! What better way to kick off the start of July than sharing some of this months favorites with you all? Hope you all enjoy! XOXO..... 

1. Peter Thomas Roth Peeling Gel

I'm not big on beauty/skin products, but I SWEAR by this stuff. It is on the more expensive side, but it works like a charm and is worth every penny. An Ulta employee recommended it to me about a month ago and it has worked so well. If you dry skin, this is a definite must. 

2. J.Crew Chino Shorts

All I have to say about these babies is that they're the most comfortable shorts I have ever owned. You can't go wrong with stylish and comfort. If you don't already have a pair, I highly recommend you RUN (don't walk) to your nearest J.Crew and get yourself a pair.

3. kate spade Shoulder Bag

I found this beauty at TJ Maxx the other week and fell in love. I have FOMO when it comes to TJ Maxx. The hint to finding hot brands there is to make a few trips a week. They get quite a few shipments in a week, so what they might have today, probably won't be there tomorrow! 

4. Seersucker Shorts (Target)

Let's be a honest, I'm a sucker for seersucker. I've been dying for a pair of seersucker shorts for a long time now, but every pair I've came across has been quite pricey. It's hard for me to shell out $70-80 on a pair of shorts that I'm not sure how often I'll be wearing. I came across a pair at Target earlier this month for only TWENTY DOLLARS (I'm pretty sure they're also on sale right now for $12, you can't pass that up). They're super comfy and look identical to the more expensive brands! 

5. kate spade Polka Dot Keds

I've posted about these quite a few times already, so I'm sure it's not a shock to anyone that these are on here! I love love love these shoes, I've worn them so many times since I've bought them (even with outfits they don't match, oops) and have gotten so many compliments! Definitely worth the money.

6. kate spade iPhone Case

So, do y'all suspect that I'm obsessed with kate spade yet? I was obsessed with the clutch & mug that had the "eat cake for breakfast" slogan on it. So, naturally, when they released the iPhone case, I HAD to have it!

7. Pretty Little Liars: Toxic

If you watch Pretty Little Liars, you definitely have to check out the book series! It doesn't follow the TV series, and in my opinion is much more thrilling. These are the only the books I can finish in just a few hours. 

8. Steve Madden Sandals

It's no secret than Steve Madden is my go-to shoe brand. I got these for Christmas this past year and I was SO excited to finally get to wear them once spring came around! I usually have a rough time breaking in new shoes, but to my shock, these sandals are easily the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I took the risk wearing them around the mall for the first mall... no sore feet, no blisters! I was amazed. 

9. Jergens Natural Glow

I swore to myself I would never ever resort to a self tanner. Buuut, unfortunately it's been a rough summer pool wise and I couldn't take being pale any longer. I've seen so many people rave about Jergens and I had to give it a try. I only started using it a few days ago, but I can already see a difference! It also has no smell which is a HUGE plus. I'd definitely recommend it.

What are some of your June favorites? Thanks for reading! xoxo

Favorite Handbags: Part 1

Rue La La says it best.... 

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with purses. I guess you could say that I'm a a bit of a purse hoarder. I can't get enough of them! Every one has their thing, whether it be shoes or jewelry, mine just happens to be handbags! Anytime I get a bit of extra money, 99% of the time my first purchase is a new bag. I wanted to share with you all a few of my favorites! Enjoy...

Thanks for reading! Part two coming soon! xoxo

Summer Favorites Pt 1

Summer has creeped up upon us. How it is almost mid-June already, I don't even know. Although, I feel like I'm saying the same thing every month. What better way to kick off the start of summer than sharing with y'all some of my go-to summer favorites/essentials. To keep this post short, I'll be posting some more of my summer favorites over the next few days!

1) J.Crew Chino Shorts

What's a summer wardrobe without J.Crew Chinos? Chino is basically a fancy word for cotton, so these shorts are nothing short of comfortable (hands down the most comfortable pair of shorts I have ever owned)! They come in every color imaginable, and come in a few different length sizes! If you don't have a pair of these yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Check them out at jcrew.com & factory.jcrew.com!

2) Longchamp Le Pliage Tote

This one of my absolute favorite tote bags. I use this for just about everything, pool bag, beach bag, overnight/out of town bag, or just an everyday bag. It's perfect for a summer day at the pool! You can find this at most high end department stores! (Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc)

3) Lilly Pulitzer You Gotta Regatta Shift

You Gotta Regatta is one of my favorite Lilly prints. The sailboats make it a perfect summer piece, even cuter when paired with white sandals or wedges! Because this is print is a few years old now, check eBay, Re-Lilly or even Rue La La for this fabulous summer piece! 

4) Steve Madden Barcley Wedges

Steve Madden is always my go-to brand for shoes, & these wedges do not disappoint. To me, they're just a little something different than your typical wedges. They look cute with just about every outfit, they're comfortable and I'm always getting compliments every time I wear them! A definite must. 

5) Ray-Ban Green Mirrored Aviators

To be honest, I used to think the mirrored Ray-Ban's were tacky. Until of course, my best friend bought a pair. They looked perfect on her, so naturally I had to steal them. I fell in love with them. My mom got me my own pair for my birthday and I haven't worn any other sunglasses since! These will definitely be a summer favorite.

More summer favorites coming for y'all soon!
