Sweet Summertime

Hey guys!

Yet another chiffon lightweight shift dress. I really can’t get enough of these things. Nothing beats throwing on something so lightweight and loose in the hot summer!

This dress is on sale right now on Belk.com here and similar shoes are on sale here. The white statement necklace can be found at Rue21.com, or here specifically!

Again, thank you to my amazing photographer and sweet boyfriend, Jake!

On the Search for New Blogs

Hey guys!

I’m on the search for new preppy, fashion, and beauty blogs! My Reader page is GREAT and I love all of the blogs I follow, but I’m looking for some people to follow so I can have a more consistent news feed!

Just comment down below any blogs, or if you’re new here click like and I’ll follow you!

Also, stay tuned next week, and I’ll be sharing my top 15 favorite blogs on WordPress! Keep in mind that I typically like small, new, or “on the rise” blogs because I find them a lot more personal and creative, therefor there’s a good chance I’ll like yours!

Help a girl out and tell me some blogs!

Lightweight+Trapeze Dresses

Hey guys! Tank dresses in lightweight fabric, like this royal blue chiffon dress, are a big fashion trend this summer for a very practical reason: they keep you cool. I find that the thinness of the fabric makes it extremely breathable, which really helps out if you’re going to be running errands on a July day or even going to a Saturday night cookout.

I got this dress from Belk here, which I paid full price for, but of course is on sale now haha. Lucky you! The shoes are from Unisa and are no longer sold, but here is another pair that look pretty similar and are, again, on sale.

Photo creds to Jake (my awesome photographer boyfriend)

Preppy Pick Me Up

As many of you may know, this Sunday is “National Wear your Lilly Day”. I’m starting early and wearing a little Jellies Be Jammin’! I added a little cardigan because I’m so cold natured and would get cold in a 75 degree house. I kept my makeup nice and simple with a neutral wash of color in my crease and my favorite BB as my base. If you’d like to see a tutorial, let me know! Jellies is easily one of my favorite prints– next to Let’s Cha Cha and First Impression– that really helps kick the scortching hot days of summer off!

Hot Summer Days

FullSizeRender (4)

Hey guys! If there’s anything I know about this Carolina heat, it’s that the only way to combat it is with a light shift dress from J.Crew! The shoes I’m wearing for this particular outfit are Palms. They’re basically white Jack Rogers minus the sore feet and high price! The background of this shoot is adorable, don’t you think? My boyfriend and I went out to the public boat landing in our county. I hope you enjoy!
