I returned from my family vacation on Friday night and I was just so exhausted and had such a long list of things to catch up on yesterday, by the time I looked at the clock to blog it was already 2pm. I haven't missed a posting day in a while but yesterday I was so busy, there was just no way that anything was going on the blog. I did post an Instagram though from the Meet & Mingle at Lilly Pulitzer -- you can check that out here. I rarely get to see my family anymore, even

I have always been in love with the Nantucket lifestyle but, living in the south doesn't always make it easy to travel to those gorgeous New England destinations. One day I'll get there -- but for now, I'm trying to live the Nantucket lifestyle anywhere until I take a trip to ACK. Murray's Toggery Shop is a famous store on Nantucket that is home to the original Nantucket Reds. Nantucket Reds is a collection of both men's and women's wear showing off the classic Nantucket red

My family always talks about taking a family photo but we never do. The only real family picture we all gave is from my sister, Leslie's, college graduation last spring. A random man in the crowd snapped a quick picture for us, and that was it -- the only family picture we have. Now that Leslie has graduated and moved to Texas, we are never all together. This week, she joined us for our beach trip and we all got to spend a whole ~four hours~ together before Lisa had to leave

Summer in Lilly Pulitzer is a always a great move. Working in the store this summer, I have definitely expanded my Lilly collection quite a bit. Truthfully, I've been pretty good about what I'm buying. The nice thing about working there, is that I can see everything that will come out during my summer so I can plan my purchases accordingly. This summer, Lilly is throwing back to it's roots with button downs and classic shifts. The summer, they released the Emerald Beach Cover

Today I'm partnering with Vineyard Vines to bring you the most comfortable and most perfect summer outfit. I love the Vineyard Vines brand because the brand was created on such wholesome ideas and the story behind the creating of the event is truly inspiring. Vineyard Vines is a go-to brand for me, especially during the summertime. The entire summer line is extremely soft and comfy. It's perfect for sailing, walking on the beach, going on adventures, and soaking up the sunshi

Recruitment starts in just a few weeks for some schools. I know Auburn starts the second week of August for example but others won't being until September. When it comes to recreuitemt, you want to put your best Essie-polished foot forward from the get go so, today I want to share my favorite picks for the open house round of recruitment. For those of you who don't know, open house is the very first round of going through rush. It's the most casual of the days and it's where

I'm pretty simple when it comes to makeup. I stick to the same one or two routines and have found my favorite products on the market and have stuck with them. I also don't like to spend too much money on makeup because at the end of the day, you just end up washing it down the drain. I would much rather spend the money on clothing or shoes rather than makeup. Today I want to share with you my favorite makeup products recently along with why I love them. If you're looking for

I have never hosted a meet and greet before and I finally found the guts to do one! The reason that I have always been so nervous about hosting a meet up is because I'm scared that nobody will show up. You all know that I work at Lilly Pulitzer in Short Pump and so do a few other bloggers as well. The store asked us if we would like to be a part of an in-store event inviting our readers to meet, greet, and shop the new fall line with their favorite bloggers. I couldn't pass t

If there's one post you all want, it's this one. The influx of emails and messages about this post has been so insane that I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't write this post for you guys. So many of my readers are incoming freshman in high school and to be quite honest, you can apply this to being a college freshman in some circumstances. The transition from middle school to high school is a huge one. For many of you, you are entering into an entirely different school and
