Your Voice Matters

Hey y'all-hope your weekend was great. Today's post is more serious in nature. I'm going to share my thoughts on the Larry Nassar scandal that has cast a shadow on USA Gymnastics over the past months. I've been wanting to discuss this on the blog for awhile, but needed to make time to really sit down and organize my thoughts in a cohesive way. Late last week Olympic gold medalists Madison Kocian and Kyla Ross came forward and shared that former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar sexually abused them as well. Therefore, I figured that now is a very fitting time to chat about this tragic headline. [Read more...]

Birthday Celebration Roundup!

Hey y'all! Happy Hump Day. Hope everyone is having a great week! So my birthday was actually this past week, and I wanted to share a few things I did to celebrate. I didn't do anything huge and extravagant, especially because a lot of my friends were out of town for Easter this past weekend. But I did do a handful of little things and am so thankful for all the people in my life who made me feel loved and celebrated.! Even the texts and Facebook posts throughout the day made me feel so cherished. One of my favorite things about my birthday each year is all the little perks I get from some [Read more...]

Lilly for Pottery Barn

The anticipated Lilly Pulitzer for Pottery Barn collaboration launched a little over a week ago. In my opinion, this was one of the smoother Lilly Pulitzer collaborations. I set my alarm for 2:50am EST on Friday, March 16, which was 10 minutes before the Lilly Pulitzer collection hit the Pottery Barn website. The homepage didn't show the Lilly collaboration until a few minutes after 3:00am, but other than that everything went off without a glitch. I was able to purchase everything I wanted, and the website didn't crash. Since I just purchased my first ever DSLR camera, I knew that I was going [Read more...]

Eating Disorders Recovery

Wow y'all--I am so humbled and overwhelmed by all the positive feedback I got from my previous post about my personal struggle with disordered eating and body image. As promised, I am back to share some self-care practices I engage in now to prevent relapse into old thought patterns and behaviors. I am completely in recovery now, but I know myself and my obsessive personality tendencies, so I take certain steps to protect myself. These two have been biggies for me over the years in my eating disorder recovery: 1. I don't weigh myself. I get weighed exactly once a year when I go to my doctor [Read more...]

Orange is the New Pink

"Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed." -Elle Woods So Elle Woods from Legally Blonde may be one of my favorite fictional characters, but I must disagree with the sentiment she expressed above when describing how she talked Cameron Diaz or Beyonce (depending on if you're watching the movie or musical version) out of buying an orange sweater. Pink has always been my favorite color, but my closet contains just as much orange these days--largely due to me being a HUGE Clemson fan. (Go Tigers!) One of my favorite "go-to" pieces is an orange cotton slub Lilly Pulitzer [Read more...]

Hey Y’all!

Welcome to Palmettos and Pineapples! I've been wanting to start a new blog for awhile, and I finally bit the bullet and did it! Several years back I dabbled in blogging, but once I started working full-time blogging fell to the wayside. Rather picking back up on my old blog after almost three years of inactivity, I decided to start fresh. Although my love of classic preppy style and all things Southern remains the same, I have grown, changed, and matured since my last blog, and wanted to have a new space with a more crisp and sophisticated look. So here we are! I am a complete amateur, and [Read more...]
