4th of July outfits

Gold bracelet // Sandals // Earrings (on sale!!) // Bathing suit // 

Red dress // White dress // Blue romper

July 4th is quickly approaching so I decided to pick out a couple of pieces that I think would be perfect to wear! I think these pieces would be great for a 4th of July barbecue, picnic, or even out to watch fireworks! I’m currently obsessing over the blue and white tribal romper! So cute! So far I don’t have any set plans for the 4th, but hopefully I get to end the night watching some pretty fireworks. What are your plans for the 4th? 

Planner obsession

Happy Planner

Hello everyone! If you know me personally, you may or may not know that I have a slight obsession with planners. I love planning, decorating, and organizing my day in my planner. It's seriously my lifeline. I have no idea how anyone could live without a planner. I recently stumbled upon a new planner, The Happy Planner. I was contemplating on getting the Erin Condren planner for a while but couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money on a planner. The Happy Planner is a great and cheaper dupe to the Erin Condren. This past year I have used my Lilly Pulitzer planner and have loved it. I'm still deciding if I'm going to use the Happy Planner for school or purchase another Lilly planner.

Workout stickers // Study stickers // Exam Stickers // Header stickers // 

Grocery stickers // Washing machine stickers // Luggage stickers

I did go ahead and purchase some new goodies for my planner because I was just too excited to start decorating! I bought some washi tapes from Hobby Lobby and placed an order on Etsy from Sweet Kawaii Design for the stickers. This is my first time ordering from her and I'm obsessed with the stickers (how cute are these pink elephant stickers??)! I definitely recommend her shop to anyone who wants some adorable stickers for their planner. They're so cute and I am definitely planning on ordering more from her!

PS. Shout out to my friend Kody for building this pallet coffee table! Isn't so photogenic?? 

The girl in the blue dress...

Dress: Urban Outfitters (really old) // Sandals: Forever 21 // Watch: Michael Kors 

// Pearl Bracelet: Forever 21 // Silver Bracelet: Forever 21 // Sunglasses: Vans

Guys, can we take a second and admire the embroidery on the top of this dress?? It's what sold me on buying this dress. Although this piece is rather old (my very first Urban Outfitters purchase!) it's still a favorite. Dresses are my favorite in the summer time because they're so easy to throw on and I don't get the whole "my thighs are constricted" feeling from wearing jean shorts. Plus, they're super cute and breezy. Yay dresses! 

Summer florals

Shirt: Forever 21 // Shorts: Target (similar) // Sandals: Forever 21 (similar) 

// Purse: Dailylook // Watch: Michael Kors (Kinda similar one here)

Something about this outfit just makes me so happy! It could be that this is one of my favorite tops or the fact the outfit is so colorful. I love this mirrored floral top from Forever 21. It’s so light and I can just throw it on during the summer and not worry about getting too hot (and it’s floral so that’s another plus). Also, these shorts from Target are my favorite! I have them in four different colors! They are so comfy and have a slight stretch in them so they’re not too constricting.

Today marks the 12-day mark until I leave for my cruise to Alaska! I’m so excited; I’ve never visited Alaska before and this will be the first vacation I’ll have with my entire family in a long time. I’m still trying to figure out what to bring with me on the trip so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know! Are you going anywhere exciting this summer? 

Happy Father's day!

I'd like to wish all the fathers out there a happy father's day and a special shout out to my dad! Dad, thank you for always being there for me, giving me advice and helping me through life. You the most hardworking and kind hearted person I know. You have been such a great role model for my brother and I and I can't thank you enough for everything that you do for us. From going dress shopping with me for every school dance to traveling around the world, I'm so thankful to have you as a father. We are the ultimate daddy daughter duo. No matter how old I get I'll always be your little girl. I love you and happy father's day, dad! 

Summer Breeze

Dress: Forever 21 (similar) // Kimono: Charlotte Russe // Sandals: Charlotte Russe 

// Watch: Michael Kors // Necklace: Tiffany and Co.

Hello everyone! Long time no talk! 

I apologize for the lack of posts between finals week, summer classes, and dealing with my current living situation blogging seemed to be put on the back burner. A lot has happened in the past month and it’s kind of crazy now looking back at it.

Ok, that’s enough about me trying to justify why I haven’t been posting as much. I don’t know about you guys, but the weather here in Charlotte has been crazy hot. I’m talking about temperatures close to 100 degrees! Can we say pool day every day? With the temperature being so hot outside it can be a little tricky trying to find something to wear. I love this little cotton dress from Forever 21. It’s so simple and easy to wear. I paired a colorful kimono to brighten up the look and accessorize with my everyday staples. 

How’s your summer going so far? Monday is my last day of summer classes so my summer will officially start Tuesday! Yay!
