Scallops Galore





The scallop trend has really taken off in the past year or so. I absolutely love the trend myself, and wore it quite a bit during the spring and summer! Scallops are still in for the fall season; here are a few of my favorite scalloped finds!

Early Fall: OOTD




Even though it is still in the low 70s where I live, I am ready for cool Fall weather and have been wearing jeans and long-sleeves! I hope y'all are having a good week!

Tuesday Two

I've decided to start a new post series! Every Tuesday I will post two things from the day that I loved! I hope y'all like it!

I take my coffee to school with me in my new Lilly tumbler every morning!




In AP Lang we are reading the Glass Castle, and it is easily one of the best books I have ever read. I probably never would have picked it up if it hadn't been assigned!




What is your #tuesdaytwo?

I am so glad it is finally Fall! I can now start burning my Bath and Body Works Fall candles and wearing Fall clothes! I will soon be finished with all of my standardized testing (one more to go!) and will be finished with college applications! Fall brings so many fun activities, from pumpkin carving to haunted houses to football season! What's your favorite fall activity?

I had been eyeing the monogrammed crossbodies that I kept seeing on Instagram, so I finally caved and bought one for myself! I just received it today and I love it! I can't wait to use this bag, as a clutch and as a crossbody. It will definitely be in an upcoming fashion post!



My monogrammed crossbody is from DDP monograms, follow the link below to this bag!

Vineyard Vines and J. Crew

I did a little bit of shopping at Vineyard Vines and J. Crew Factory this weekend. I felt that it was time to get another shep shirt to have for the Fall. I absolutely love this one with the stripes from Vineyard Vines! They are so comfortable and go great with norts or jeans! I also found quite a few things at the J. Crew Factory store. I went in looking for the Herringbone Vest (it is sold out everywhere!) and came out with a skirt, a headband, a cardigan, a resin bubble necklace and a tee that are perfect for Fall!




What are some of your recent purchases?

Ending my Sunday night with a Red Velvet cupcake from a local bakery! It was a long and pretty bad weekend here, but cupcakes fix everything, right?

A Day in Georgetown

I spent a day this weekend shopping in Georgetown. I absolutely love the atmosphere of Georgetown. Although it is less crowded during the week, it is still a ton of fun on the weekend! We walked around the waterfront, at lunch at Serendipity 3, had Starbucks and did some shopping! What a great way to spend a beautiful September day!

Healthy Living: Snacking {1}



I get A LOT of questions from my friends about my food choices and healthy lifestyle. I know for some people it may not work, but it works great for me! Hopefully you can take some of my tips and make them your own!

When I get home from school, I always exercise immediately to relax and release endorphins into my brain. This always makes me feel better. Afterwards, I generally have some sort of snack, it usually being a bowl of fruit or veggies. 

My favorite fruits are strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, oranges and grapes. I usually choose about four of these different fruits (depending on what we have in the house) and have a bowl of fruit. If I don't have fruit, and I usually do, I have veggies and fat free ranch. I love all vegetables, but  I have currently been eating a lot of sugar snap peas, raw green beans and carrots. This fills me up enough to get me through my homework and until it is time to eat dinner.

Southern Bow Boutique

I had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my package from Southern Bow Boutique and it just arrived yesterday! I am absolutely in love with it! It is the perfect size and the perfect combination of colors. I got SO MANY compliments on it today at school. I was a little bit nervous about wearing bows in my newly cut short hair, but needless to say, I loved it! I will definitely be purchasing from the company again soon!




Check out their website, I'm sure you'll love these bows too!

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Shoes

I went to Nordstrom Rack on my day off the other day and ended up picking up a new pair of boots! I had been searching for a pair of riding boots for the Fall during the past few weeks, and I finally found the perfect pair! They are Franco Sarto. I decided on these because they are great quality leather and were a fantastic price! I can't wait to style these one the weather gets cooler!

This week has gone by pretty fast so far, I can't believe tomorrow is already Thursday! I'm hoping this entire year will go by fast as well! I'm currently studying for AP Psych, I have a test on the brain tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well!

My Lilly Dresses



This past year I have become more and more of a Lilly lover. For the past few years I have been using Lilly Pulitzer agendas, but I bought my first shift dress this year. It is an addiction. I have three so far, and I will definitely be getting more in the future. They're so comfortable and perfect. I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear mine. Even people who would not wear Lilly say that they love them. They are super comfortable and can make any day brighter. These three dresses are my favorite pieces in my closet!
