For the 4th :)

It's almost that time again.... The 4th of July! Yay!

Here in the South, we like to celebrate the right way. That means barbeques, fireworks, and plenty of family and friends! Even though I won't be home this year on the 4th, I'm not going to let that keep me from celebrating like I always do! So on the 4th I will drink plenty of this....

Eat plenty of this....

See these....

Wear this....

The Proper Life tee

And this....

American Flag Hair Bow

And celebrate this....

Hope y'all are looking forward to the 4th as much as I am! And make sure to comment and tell me how you celebrate the 4th! :)

Lilly Planners!!!

I'm stuck! I just can't seem to decide which Lilly Pulitzer 2013-14 planner I should get! The prints are all just so cute and fun :) It seems almost silly thinking about what planner to get for next school year when summer JUST began, but you can never start too early right?
Confession: I'm actually quite crazy/obsessive compulsive about planning for back to school. I make dozens of different lists for school supplies, back to school outfits, hair, makeup; the whole "shebang"! I often start the process before summer is even halfway over, so about the 1st or 2nd week in July. It might sound crazy, but for me back to school planning is one of the most exciting and fun things I get to do all year. So the decision about my planner is HUGE!

These are my top choices:

#1 "Lucky Charms" Jumbo Agenda
It's really big (8.75 by 11in!) which is good, but is it too big?
I absolutely love the print though!

#2 "Get Nauti" Jumbo Agenda
This one is also really big but the print is amazing!

#3 Tiger Lilly Large Agenda
This one is smaller and would be easier to carry with me.
And the print is very unique, I love the dark navy/purple back ground!

All the planners this year are so amazing! I've never gotten a Lilly planner before. In the past I've gone to Barnes and Noble which has some really cute ones with not too big a price tag; however, I've heard how great the Lilly planners are and I'm willing to try it out!
After writing this, I think I'm leaning towards the first one! Let me know what you think and which Lilly planner you got this year!

Obsession: Headbands and Bows

I recently got a lot of hair cut off. Now it is about 3 inches below my shoulders. It's a slightly awkward length so I'm going to let it grow out for a few months. I am loving the shorter length though and since I got my hair cut I've been wearing headbands and hair bows much more. I love the way it looks with my shorter hair and I always feel super cute when I'm wearing a bow! ;)

These are some pictures I found on Pinterest that I love:

Bows and Bikes! :)

I want that dress and headband!

Bows on the Beach (I would so do this!)

Love this entire look!

Love the colors in this bow!

Do y'all love headbands and bows as much as I do? Let me know! Goodbye loves! <3

My Current Wishlist: Summer 2013

These are the top 4 things on my wish list right now :)

#1 Gold Monogrammed Ring
I wear a lot of gold jewelry, however, I don't have any gold rings so I thought the perfect solution would be an on-trend monogrammed ring. These are my choices right now:

Monogrammed Signet Ring (Etsy)

Monogrammed Cut Out Ring (Etsy)

I can't decide between the signet ring and the cut out ring, but both are adorable so I couldn't really go wrong!

#2 Longchamp Le Pliage Small Handbag

Small Longchamp Le Pliage Handbag

I know they are pricey, but I've been looking for a good everyday bag for a while and I love the classic look of the Longchamp. I also love that it comes in navy (which is basically my staple color for the fall and winter).

#3 Monogrammed Sweatshirt
There are some great options on Etsy and they all look super comfy

#4 No Crease Hair Ties
I'm just so curious to see if these actually work! Also from Etsy (can you tell I'm kind of obsessed!)

Hope you liked this! <3 And let me know what's on your wish lists right now!

OOTD: Driver's ED

Good evening girls! It's late but I've really wanted to write a post so here goes!

All this week (first week of summer AHH!) I have driver's Ed for four hours in the morning. Ugh. I go to a private high school which does not offer driver's Ed so I'm taking it during the summer. It's slightly annoying (and time consuming) but it will be worth it when I'm DRIVING!!! :) Since I'm sitting for most of this time I've been wearing comfortable and casual outfits. However, in an attempt to stray away from the typical norts and a T-shirt, I threw on some new Lilly shorts and a light pink headband. I was able to look cute while still being comfortable for class.

Meant to take pictures myself but ran out of time, sorry!

I wore a navy T-shirt from my school but you can wear any comfortable navy shirt tucked into the shorts.
I recommend JCrew crew neck perfect fit tees!

JCrew: Perfect Fit tee

Lilly Pulitzer Buttercup shorts Hotty Pink Seersucker

I love these shorts so much! I just got them last week and have already worn them twice. I absolutely adore the scalloped edge and you can never go wrong with seersucker, especially in pink! <3 Love, love, love!

I also wore a skinny gold belt, pearl earrings, a thin light pink headband and my tan rainbow flip flops!

Hope y'all liked this outfit and next time I promise some of my own pictures! Thank you!

IT'S OFFICIAL!

Well guys, I've been debating this for a while and I've finally decided to start my own blog! For a long time I've been reading all of y'all's and I'm super excited to connect with you in a whole new way! I thought with this beautiful summer ahead of us, anything can happen :)
Through this blog I hope to share how preppy isn't just my sense of style, it's my way of life, and share how much I love it! To me, the world is a prettier place in pink and pearls!
Thank you and see y'all soon! <3
