Outfit Inspiration: Pink Lemonade & Summer Nights

May 25, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Happy Memorial Day Weekend y'all! Hope all y'all are doing something super fun to ring in the unofficial start of summer. I'm at the beach for the first time in almost nine months, and have already enjoyed a delicious dinner at one of my favorite restaurants here. Forecast for Saturday and Sunday is looking great for some quality time on the beach. Anyways, in honor of the unofficial start to summer, I want to share another favorite casual summer outfit with y'all. If you read this post a couple weeks ago, then you already know I'm a huge fan of printed Lilly shorts for summer nights out. [Read more...]

Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale Shopping Guide

May 24, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Hope y'all are having a great week and are ready for Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of SUMMER! I know I am! First of all, my apologies for being slack on posting this week. I am trying to be better about having content ready to publish in advance so I'm not scrambling around at the last minute. But life happens and some weeks are better than others. However, one of the reasons I have had less time this week to work on blog content is actually a really good thing. Last night I went to a super fun blogger photo collaboration in downtown Durham hosted by Purcado. It was so much fun [Read more...]

Featured Outfit: First Impressions Are Everything

May 11, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Hey y'all! Happy Fri-YAY! Earlier this week I shared some of my favorite bathing suits to wear on a summer day at the pool or beach. As much as I love spending hours lounging in the sun, it also feels good to wash off the sand and sunscreen and put on cute ensemble for a fun night with friends. So today I want to share a favorite summer outfit that's perfect for a casual night out. My Lilly Pulitzer First Impression Deena shorts are the focal point of this look.

Crushing on Kendra Scott

May 9, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Hey y'all! Happy Hump Day. Today I want to chat a little more about one of my latest obsessions: Kendra Scott jewelry. So I first heard of Kendra Scott when the ladies in Lilly Facebook groups talked about how they liked to wear Kendra Scott with their Lilly. For awhile, I didn't really have much interest. I figured I had enough jewelry. Furthermore, I assumed Kendra Scott was primarily statement jewelry and thought I wouldn't wear it enough to justify the price point. However, that changed when I admired this dainty Kendra Scott choker length pendant I saw some friends wearing. Then another [Read more...]

My Top Picks for 2018 Swimwear

May 7, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Wow y'all-it's so hard to believe Memorial Day is only three weeks from today. Is it just me, or is 2018 flying by? Anyways, even though the Summer Solstice isn't until June 21, I still consider Memorial Day weekend the kick-off to summer. I am super excited to be heading to the beach for the first time since Labor Day. This will be the first of many summer beach trips for me. I actually have several bathing suits from previous seasons that I love and that are still in good condition. So I won't be doing a ton of swimsuit shopping this summer. However, in the spirit of summer's impending [Read more...]

Featured Outfit: Lilly & Stripes

April 25, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Hey y'all-happy hump day! I wanted to share this striped Lilly Pulitzer dress that I wore for brunch with a friend this past Sunday. It was really fun getting to catch up with one of my childhood friends I hadn't seen in several months. We went to Watts Grocery in Durham-the first time there for both of us. It was delicious, and I highly recommend if you're in the Raleigh/Durham area. Lilly Pulitzer Caleb Dress I've had this basic cotton striped Lilly Pulitzer dress for about five years now. It's called the "Caleb Dress." (I actually have this same style in solid black as well.) Although [Read more...]

Kentucky Derby Outfit Inspo

April 23, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

The Kentucky Derby is in less than two weeks! I'm not super into horse racing, but I am super into any occasion that involves wearing a cute sundress and floppy hat. I've never been to the Kentucky Derby before, but would like to go someday simply because I would love picking out the perfect outfit. In the meantime, I enjoy dressing up to watch from afar. Several years ago I went to a big Derby party. But for the most part, I usually watch with a small group of friends. The sundress + floppy hat combo screams "Kentucky Derby outfit." So today, I'm sharing some of my favorite sundresses and [Read more...]

Hunter for Target Haul

April 20, 2018 by Liz Leave a Comment

Happy Friday y'all! Last week I shared a Hunter for Target preview. Today I am sharing my haul, along with a recap of my shopping experience. My excursion to my local Target last Saturday morning was very successful overall. I got everything on my wish list, plus two additional items. The two extras I picked up were only $15 combined, so I was super proud of myself for not going over budget! Also, if you had your sights set on getting some of the women's Hunter for Target tall rain boots when they became available, please note that Target is NOT going to roll them out after all, due to quality [Read more...]
