OOTN: Luke Bryan Concert

Recently I went to see Luke Bryan in concert with my Mom and cousin! This is the second time i've seen him. The set was the same and I was disappointed that he didn't play any of the new songs from his new albums, but it was fun!



Here's my outfit from the concert:



Necklace: Francesca's
Top: Forever 21
Jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Laredo

First Day of School: OOTD and Reflection

Today was my first day of Senior Year! Overall it went pretty well! I had AP Calc, AP Psych, Honors World and AP Bio! I can't tell which class is my favorite yet. I'm glad I have calculus first, so that I can get it over with. I had homework in 3 classes, but it wasn't too bad, yet. I think i'm really going to enjoy my classes this year! 

Here's my outfit from today!



Dress: Francesca's
Belt: Forever 21
Shoes: Jack Rogers

Lilly Pulitzer Unboxing: Endless Summer Sale {1}

I just got one of my orders from the Lilly Pulitzer ESS, and i'm super excited about it! For those of you who don't know, Lilly Pulitzer has a 3 day sale each year, and most summer and spring items are marked WAY down! Although for the past 2 years, the site hasn't been the most customer friendly, the staff at Lilly are always helpful and the shipping was very very fast!

This dress, the Ginny dress, caught my eye as soon as the sale opened up! Originally $188, it was marked down to $49!

DIY Decorated Mason Jars



Mason jars are great for organizing anything small! I'll definitely be taking a bunch with me when I go to college next year, plus they're really cute!

What you'll need:

Mason jars- any size and as many as you want!
Painter's tape
Acrylic paint and glitter- any colors!

How to:

Tape off any patterns one the mason jars with the painter's tape (stripes, scallops, etc). Paint with chosen color and peel tape off when dry. You can add glitter wherever! I like to add it in the clear spots where the tape was. To add glitter, use glue and then sprinkle the glitter on and shake the excess glitter off!




                                       

Mine are now on my desk in my study area! They look great and are perfect for organizing everything I use while studying!

For some reason, one of my favorite parts of the entire year is shopping for new school supplies and Target is my favorite place for this!

Here is what i got for school this year:





  • 2- 1.5 inch binders
  • 1- .5 inch binder
  • A notebook
  • 2 sets of dividers
  • 1 pack of sheet protectors
  • Sticky Notes
  • College ruled paper
  • Lots and lots of pens and pencils

And of course I can't forget my Lilly agenda! I use it year round; for school and for planning out my busy life!

Pancake Recipe!

These pancakes are great for any meal! I especially love making breakfast for dinner, and adding some chocolate chips!

Pancake Recipe (from socialcafemag.com):

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup milk (add more if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray
Mix all dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls, add dry to wet. Cook on medium/high heat on in a pan or on a griddle prepared with cooking spray! Occasionally I will substitute a low cal butter spread instead of real butter, and it's just as good! I usually double or even triple this recipe for a family meal, and make some with chocolate chips and some with blueberries!
