Erin Condren Life Planner

I am a huge fan when I comes to planning and organizing! All through college I had either Vera Bradley or Lilly Pulitzer planners. I figured this year I would try something new!

Erin Condren has a stationary and party planning company, and she is known for her Life Planners! She was also a Delta Gamma at UCLA.

My favorite part about the Life Planners are the way you can customize them! They have so many covers to choose from. They are also changable so if you get sick of the cover half way through the year, you can pop on another front & back. You can also add on sticker sets, notepads, basically anything!

I chose the Taffy Stripes in pink with my First and Middle name!

   

 

I also picked up some pens from Target to help color coordinate and organize! 

Better Late than Never- July 4th Post!

I actually went home for the fourth of July and was able to spend the holiday with my family and fiance! The day before the 4th we actually went downtown to Red White and BOOM in Columbus. This is like a huge deal at home, everyone from the suburbs (me) floods downtown for this million dollar fireworks show! There are also fun bars and food trucks to keep you busy before the firework show at 10pm.


For Red White and BOOM I wanted to keep it casual and fun! I went with white skinnys from American Eagle (it was chilly), an anchored and striped tank from Nordstrom, a jean jacket from Loft, and my Red White and Blue Toms!

The actual day of July 4th, my brother, fiance and I went out on the boat!

That night we met up with my friend to watch the fireworks by our house. I just changed into jeans, my toms, a navy sweater and linen tank from Loft.

Never to late for some 'Merica lovin! Hope you all enjoyed the 4th as well!

The Lucky Knot

I came across a store that combines so many amazing preppy items in one place: The Lucky Knot! Brands including: Lilly Pulitzer, Lauren James, Smathers & Branson, Kiel James Patrick, and so many more.

As for The Lucky Knot brand itself I am beyond OBSESSED with their anchor hats! The polka dots are such a perfect accent. 

Also these needlepoint hats are a must in any summer wardrobe!

They also carry such cute nautical clothing & jewelry-- perfect recruitment attire for Deegees! 

Definitely a website worth checking out! 

Summer Nights

If you're anything like me, you love getting cozy on summer nights in a big sweatshirt. I just celebrated my 22nd Birthday so I got a few new bright & fun sweatshirts to add to my collection.


I have been eyeing the LOBSTAH ROLL Skipper from Lilly Pulitzer forever, so of course I HAD to ask for it:

I also have been wanting this fun lounge sweatshirt from Express that says "COFFEE FIRST" Now it's on sale for $19.99, can't beat that!

I think both are so fun for summer lounging after a long hot day!

Turquoise & Hot Pink

I am a very bright and colorful person when it comes to clothing! But I definitely LOVE this color combo together, especially for summer!

I pulled together some inspirational pictures from tumblr that show off the Turquoise and Hot Pink:
