Jadelynn Brooke Happy Preppy People

Hey y'all! Happy hump day! Tonight I wanted to pop in and share another favorite preppy t-shirt brand, Jadelynn Brooke. Although I'm a fashion blogger, I love wearing an oversized t-shirt and athletic shorts when I'm lounging around or out running errands. Last week at the beach, I spent most evenings in one of my comfy tees with a fun design. (I share a little bit more in this post why even casual loungewear is a means to express your personal style.) I discovered Jadelynn Brooke a couple years ago. Then last summer I bought my first Jadelynn Brooke shirts. Honestly, one of the things that [Read more...]

Hey y'all! Hope y'all had a happy, fun, and safe 4th of July! The beach is my favorite place to be on the 4th of July. Last year I was not at the beach for the 4th, and I missed it so much. So this year I definitely made sure I would be back at the beach to celebrate Independence Day! It's always a little bit weird when the 4th is in the middle of the week.  However, I'm so glad I used some of my vacation days from work so I could be at the beach for the 4th of July and several days following! I spent  the afternoon of July 4 on the beach. Then I cleaned up and put on this year's patriotic [Read more...]

Hey y'all- it's hard to believe that another month has passed! To be completely honest and transparent with y'all, June was not the greatest month for me overall. I am definitely glad it's a new month. However, even in the midst of some not so great things that came my way in June, the Lord brought me joy through several things. He is constantly teaching me that this side of eternity I will often simultaneously face good and bad things in life. But for today's post, I am going to cast aside the difficult parts of June, and share some things I loved during June 2018! (This post contains [Read more...]

Hey y'all-happy Friday! Today I am super excited to share pics from my recent shoot with Emily Gardiner.

Anyways, today's post features one of my new favorite clothing items: an adorable Lauren James Gingham dress! (This [Read more...]

Hope y'all had a fabulous weekend and are geared up for another week. This is my last full work week for awhile because I've got some beach trips coming up in July! Anyways, today I want to share a recap and some pictures of my 2018 strawberry picking adventures.

Hey y'all-hope you're week is off to a great start! If you've been following my blog for awhile, you know that Lilly Pulitzer shorts are a summer wardrobe staple for me!
