Strawberry Picking

Hey y'all-hope your week is great so far. We're more than halfway to the weekend! I am super excited that it's May because the weather is finally consistently warm, and summer is right around the corner. I can't wait to be back at the beach later this month. It will be my first trip since Labor Day. Another reason I'm excited to welcome this new month is my favorite strawberry patch is finally open. Waller Family Farm on the outskirts of Durham is where I like to go strawberry picking. The patch usually opens in late April, but the uncharacteristically chilly weather we had through much of [Read more...]

Eat Cake for Breakfast

Happy Friday y'all! Seriously, where has April gone?! I feel like the month just started, and now it' almost May. Anyways, I wanted to pop in and share a few miscellaneous things that I have been loving this month. (This post contains affiliate links.

Eat Cake for Breakfast A couple weeks ago, Kate Spade had a big Friends & Family sale, where pretty much everything on the website was 30% off.

Striped Lilly Pulitzer Dress

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

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...]

Animal Kingdom 20th Anniversary

Hey y'all! Today is an exciting day for all Disney lovers, because Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World is 20! Animal Kingdom was the last of the four Disney World theme parks to open. It opened less than 27 years after the Magic Kingdom. So it's kinda crazy that it's been two decades since there's been a new theme park at Walt Disney World in Florida. In honor of the Animal Kingdom 20th Anniversary, I thought I would share a few of my must-do's here. Now, keep in mind that A LOT has changed at Animal Kingdom in just the two and a half years since my last visit. The Pandora/Avator [Read more...]

Hunter for Target

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...]

Raleigh Southern Women's Show

Hey y'all! Last Thursday night I was honored to attend a special sneak peek blogger meet-up party at the Raleigh Southern Women's Show. First of all, I want to extend a huge thank you to Bolt Public Relations for the invite and for hosting a stellar event. I had the opportunity to network with other bloggers, which was honestly my favorite part. I also enjoyed touring the exhibit hall, and getting a super sweet "swag bag" filled with goodies from some of the show sponsors.

Classic Disney Style in the Parks or at Home

Classic Disney Style

Hey y'all! A few weeks ago I had some friends over for a Disney movie night. I wore this fitted v-neck Mickey Mouse shirt I got on my 2015 Disney World trip. Since this tee is the epitome of classic Disney style, I definitely wanted to feature it on Palmettos & Pineapples. One of my friends has recently picked up photography as a hobby, so we had a little photo shoot for my blog before watching 101 Dalmatians. T-shirts are always one of my favorite souvenirs to get at Disney World. (I will be doing a post in the future all about souvenir shopping at Disney World.) This tee has [Read more...]

Hunter for Target

Hey y'all-Happy Friday! Yesterday I reminisced on the Lilly for Target collaboration of three years ago. Today I'm sharing more details about Target's next designer collaboration-Hunter for Target. I have had my traditional Hunter rain boots for over four years now. They literally saved me when I got stranded during a North Carolina snowstorm several years ago. I had to abandon my car on the side of the interstate and walk half a mile in the snow to the nearest hotel. (I will save that story for later.) Although Hunter boots are completely worth the price tag in my opinion, it is nice that [Read more...]
