SheInside Obsessions

SheInside is a great place to shop this summer for swimsuits, skirts, dresses, and the most adorable blouses. They offer the cutest items while keeping the prices extremely low so every girl on a budget (including me!) can have the perfect wardrobe. I'm talking reaaaally inexpensive. Most everything is $12-$18 but the quality is still great! I searched all through the site last night and found some of the most perfect and preppy items from their newest arrivals. I'm obsessing

Adopting Confidence

Adopting Confidence

The other day, someone at work told me that I seem much more confident in myself than I did last summer and I completely agree. It was such a nice compliment to hear from one of my co-workers but it got me thinking about how my confidence has grown over the past year. Before going to college I was very nervous and lacked confidence as a whole. After a year alone at school, I have learned so much about myself and I think there are a few things that have mainly contributed to m

Amber Waves of Grain

Amber Waves of Grain

Memorial Day honestly gives me mixed feelings. I try to refrain from saying "happy Memorial Day" because truth be told, it's not a happy thing to celebrate. It also makes me a little upset that retail stores like Macy's and Nordstrom decide to take the weekend to promote sales. Yes, we can celebrate our freedoms and our rights but when it comes down to it, it is a day to recognize the sacrifice of the thousands upon thousands of men and women who served our great nation. From

10 Summer Essentials

Summer is here. School is finally letting out, the warmer weather is here, and all we can think about is the beach. I'm already enjoying my summer vacation and I am also really loving being able to put my summer closet to good use. I always find that there are 10 things in my summer closet that I always end up returning to. They are tried and true essentials that every prep needs in her closet this summer. 1. Chino Shorts -- these are great to have in all colors! You can styl

Room Tour

Room Tour

My most requested post is finally here. Since coming back home from college all you have wanted to read is a tour of my bedroom. A lot of the furniture in my room is antique or was purchased back when I was in the first grade. I also do have two closets in my room. The one with one bar stores pants, dresses, and jackets along with my storage from college and my shoes. My other closet with two bars holds my Lilly Pulitzer on the bottom bar and my winter and fall items on the t

Splash into Summer

Splash into Summer

It's finally here, y'all!! Splash into Summer is finally here at Lilly Pulitzer and I for one, cannot be more excited about it. I love celebrating Splash into Summer at Lilly. It is by far the most exciting and colorful event that we have all summer long. We are offering amazing gifts with purchase all weekend long and are celebrating summer with everyone who walks through our doors. From now until Monday, you can come into any Lilly Pulitzer store or online and shop out newe

Sunshine Yellow

Sunshine Yellow

My summer closet is made up of navy, red, and Lilly Pulitzer and although the Lilly does bring a great deal of color to my wardrobe I'm looking to brighten up my closet. I have really been enjoying the color yellow lately and I honestly have Julia from Gal Meets Glam to thank for that. I mean that girl is always wearing such happy colors, yellow being one of them. I rounded up my favorite yellow items and am writing today to share them all with you. The one item that I really

6 Things That Will Happen in College

6 Things That Will Happen in College

I know that so many readers of Daily Dose of Prep are headed off to college this fall and I understand that it's a nerve-wracking time in your life. College is a big adjustment whether you're staying close to home or moving far away, either way there are a few things to know when you head to college. 1. You will get homesick. No matter how far away you are from home, two hours or 15 hours away, you will get homesick at one point or another. Maybe you'll miss your family or ju

Prep for Less: Save & Splurge

Prep for Less: Save & Splurge

Finding your style and then cultivating your closet to match your style can get expensive. Although the preppy style is known for being pricey, the actuality of it all is that every style is going to be expensive. Let's look at Urban Outfitters and Free People, those aren't cheap stores. There is a way to avoid spending a lot of money on your closet though, and that's distinguishing what you can save on what you should splurge on. My philosophy is if you should purchase "the

Easy and Breezy in May

Easy and Breezy in May

I love to wear easy dresses as the weather warms up. Something as simple as a clean and light shirt dress is all I need when the weather starts to get up into the high 70's and 80's. I am in love with this light blue oxford shirt dress from Gap. It has a feminine edge with the fun ruffle down the front but is timeless due to its classic light blue color. Since we moved out to the country, we have been preparing the farm for our cattle and goats. We are in the process of prepa
