Lilly After Party Sale!

What is better to brighten a Monday morning than a huge Lilly sale? Absolutely nothing. I already know you know about this sale, because it's huge, so I'm not going to tell you that literally the whole summer collection is on sale and that the deals are amazing.

I've had my eyes on the navy Walsh Eyelet Shorts for quite sometime this summer. When I saw they're on sale for just about half the price I may have accidentally splashed coffee all over the place, then immediately added them to my tote and checked out.

I'm so glad I finally got a hold of these bad boys! Can't wait to style these for the rest of summer! 

Anything you have your eye on?

Christmastime

I hope you are all having the best Christmas filled with friends, family, and maybe some fun new gifts. I've been in Sanibel, FL since Sunday and it's absolutely perfect for the holidays. Here are a few Instagrams of what I've been up to:

My brother and I on Christmas Eve, the island is filled with pretty lights! 

My family exchanged gifts before we left for vacay, but I decided to surprise them with a few more goodies on Christmas morning. Wrapping gifts is my fav!

It's not Christmas without a selfie in a Santa hat

My mom and I made a sand snowman on the beach today :)

A bike ride lead us through a jungle filled with pretty twinkling lights

Definitely the best way to spend Christmas day!

What are you doing for Christmas this year?

Going Organic

I've been trying out some all organic beauty products, and let me just say, I'm in love.

I was recently out to dinner with a friend for her birthday, and her boyfriend got her a lotion that she was so excited about. She literally was freaking out. I never heard of it before but definitely wanted to know more because of her reaction! The lotion was Juice Beauty's Stem Cellular Moisturizer and she told me she swears by it. I tried a little on my hand and immediately noticed it smelled so good. Very lemon-y and fresh. It also made my hands super soft almost immediately.

So being the person I am I went to the store a few days later and picked some up myself. After using it for a few weeks I'd never go back to the lotion I was using before! I put it in on my face every night and my skin has been super soft ever since. People keep telling me how nice my skin looks, I swear this lotion is magic. I also picked up some hand cream and have been using it all over after showers! It's also amazing!

I highly, highly recommend this lotion if you're looking for something new to try! It's not oily (which is a big factor for me) and feels amazing.

The Holiday Season!

This time of year is great for so many reasons. I love all the pretty ornaments, sparkly lights, making snowmen, giving gifts and of course holiday parties! What could be better than putting on a sequin skirt, big jewelry, some fun heels, and partying with friends and family? Nothing, in my book.

 Yesterday my family had our company Christmas party at a really pretty country club. My mom and I went in the photobooth and played around with some of the props, it was so fun!

 

Get ready for a photo overload, of course I had to take lots of pics. I'm wishing I had KJP photo skills right about now!

The Christmas tree in the foyer was gorgeous!

Pretty fireplace

I loved these gold reindeer centerpieces

I wore a little black dress with a fun crisscross back paired with a J.Crew necklace and strappy heels! 

This necklace is gorgeous, I absolutely love it

Last but not least, I've been getting the OPI gel manicures, and I recently got black polish with gold ombre glitter, I think it'll be just perfect for New Years! 

How is your holiday season going?

Kate Spade Surprise Sale!

Oh how much I love waking up to a Kate Spade Surprise Sale (and sometimes shopping during class, oops!). There are so many things I'm in love with! I also think the Halloween themed banners are adorable :) Here are some of my favorite items:

Leave it to Sarah Vickers to rock them. Don't forget to shop fast! The items sell out really quickly.

Quilted Coats for Winter

When I left my apartment this morning I was absolutely not ready for the wave of freezing cold air that hit me. Literally, it feels like it could snow at any minute. Today was the first day it has been so cold, and my lightweight North Face raincoat is definitely not going to cut it any longer. 

During the cold months I usually rely on my warm and cozy peacoat, but I'm kind of loving some of the quilted coats I've been seeing popping up. I think it might be time to add some new jackets to my wardrobe!

Favorite Fall Nails

Oh how I love breaking out the fall nail polish! Bright pinks and reds are great in the summer, but something about dark nail polish feels so cozy and chic. My nails never go unpainted, and right now I'm wearing OPI's I'm Not Really A Waitress. It's a really pretty dark red with a lot of shine, I love it for fall!

Side note, Pinterest inspired me to make chocolate covered ghost cookies and they are DELISH! Anyway, here is my list of favorite fall colors. Jewel tones are my absolute favorite, and I'm also loving metallic for fall. Gold nail polish is a new obsession of mine!  

1. Butter - British Racing Green

2. Essie - Bahama Mama

3. Butter - Saucy Jack

4. Essie - After School Boy Blazer

5. Butter - Union Jack Black

6. Essie - Hot Coco

7. Nars - Versailles
