Sunny Day on Madison Avenue

Early Friday morning, I left my hometown of farmland for a weekend in New York. New York City is one of my absolute favorite places to be. I spent late Friday morning and all afternoon in Upper Manhattan at the American Museum of Natural History and strolling down Madison Avenue. Of course, I picked up some macarons from Ladurée (which were delicious), and did some shopping in Lilly Pulitzer and Tory Burch.

Graduation Celebration

This past Saturday, my family held a graduation party for me! Many of my friends and family members came to celebrate with me! My parents did such a wonderful job organizing the whole event. My Mom was very crafty with the decorations and the adorable canvas she painted for my dorm in the fall. I know everyone had a ton of fun, I sure did! I am so thankful for everyone in my life for making this time so special for me! 

What I Wore

Dress // Bracelets

The Lucky Knot

I have shopped at my fair share of stores, and the Lucky Knot in Old Town Alexandria, VA is one of my favorite places to find classic brands. I am so glad to be working with the company this summer. Check out their online store, and use the coupon code 'Life in Pearls' at checkout for 15% off! 

Congratulations to the Class of 2014

 I am proud to say that I am officially an alumni of my high school! Graduation flew by, and I am ready to begin this new chapter of my life! Congratulations to everyone who graduated!

Summer Driving Playlist

These are some of my favorites to listen to with the car windows down. What songs are at the top of your summer playlist?

Jellies Be Jammin'

I started crafting for my dorm over the weekend and wanted to share my first piece with y'all! I chose to paint the Lilly print Jellies Be Jammin' and I am very happy with the way it turned out! I can't wait to display it in my dorm room this fall!

Update and My Recent Favorites

Hey y'all! I've been absent from blogging for quite some time, and now that school has finally started to settle down (only 4 more days), I am going to try to get back on the blogging train! 

I have actually been super busy lately, not just with school, but with life in general! My last day of school is next Thursday, so all of my finals are next week and they shouldn't be too bad. I am starting to prepare for my big move down to Georgia (only 83 days to go), and I am still trying to figure out how all, or most, of my belongings are going to fit into a teeny tiny dorm room. On a side note, I did find a roommate, and I love her! I'm super excited for all of the adventures and memories to come in my freshman year of college! 

With the nice weather rolling in, I have started to run outside again (no more treadmill!), and picked up a pair of Nike Flyknit Lunar2 running shoes, and they have easily won my heart. They are the most comfortable pair of running shoes I have ever owned! I've had them for about a week and a half, and I have already run upwards of twenty miles in them! I am planning on writing a post or two about my fitness in the future!

A few weekends ago, I went to Sweetlife Festival with my best friend (post about Sweetlife coming soon), and they had an Alex and Ani store set up at the festival! My best friend and I got matching bangles. Alex and Ani bracelets are my favorite bracelets to wear; I wear them with everything! I think we have both worn this one every single day since the festival!

I hope all of y'all are doing well!
