Holiday Gift Guide for the Bestie

Can you believe there are only 3 weeks until Christmas?!! One one hand I am so excited I can't stand it, but on the other I'm kinda freaking out because I have done zero Christmas shopping. After perusing all the Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Let's just have a sale because it's the Holidays sales these are some of the cutest things I came across! Perfect little gifts for your Bestie! She will love you... even more than she already does!

Birthday Wish List

I am one of those people that gets exceptionally excited about birthdays. I always have and probably always will. My 23rd birthday is just a few days away and I am wondering when I got so old! I will admit birthdays get a little less exciting after 21, but this year I will be spending time with my family and that sounds pretty great to me. I have compiled a birthday wish list below just for fun!

Saturday Shopping and Sales

While finals week is upon us (only two more to go!!) my favorite way to procrastinate is to peruse all my favorite online shops. I have come across a few really great sales and I had to share.

Tory Burch is having their Friends and Fans sale! 25% off of most items excluding fragrances and beauty items. The last Friends and Fans sale I ordered a pair of Reva flats. I had been wanted them for awhile, but I had a hard time spending that much on a pair of flats. The 25% off helped out a ton and I don't regret the purchase one bit. So if you have been eyeing a certain Tory Burch item, now is the time ladies. Here are some of my faves from Tory Burch right now. I may or may not have already ordered the Miller sandal and I am strongly considering the espadrilles.

Other noteworthy sales include 40% off everything at Loft, and an extra 25% off everything at Jcrew Factory.

Happy shopping!

Beach Daze

The weather is so dreary today that I can't help but dream about summer and sunshine. I have also dreamed up this perfect beach getup for long days at the beach. I love the combination of ruffles and seersucker on the bikini top from Aerie. 

Y'all already know I have a slight obsession with Jack Rogers during the warmer months, but these Georgica Jelly Jacks are perfect for the beach. No worrying about ruining them in the water and sand!

And can we talk about this beach bag? I am in love. Not only is it a perfect beach bag but it is the ultimate carry-all for summer. I'm thinking farmer's markets, day trips, shopping, you name it and I think this bag can do it.

The Masters 2014

Every year during Master Week I start longing to be back in my hometown Augusta, GA. Unfortunately, I won't make it back for the tournament this year so I will have to live vicariously through the many friends that are there. Even though I won't be going to the wonderful place that is The Augusta National, I have thought up the perfect outfit for walking the course, eating pimento cheese sandwiches, drinking beer out of green cups, and, oh yeah,  watching a little golf too I suppose. 

For me, Lilly Pulitzer is a must for a day at The Augusta National along with a pair of well broken in Jack Rogers for all the walking that will be done. A simple monogram and a small clutch are the perfect accessories to complete the outfit. 

Although I won't be in attendance, you better believe I will be eating my pimento cheese and wearing my Lilly from Charleston this year. 

Happy Masters Week Augusta!

Lazy Sundays

Sundays are my absolute favorite day of the week to be lazy and relax. My typical Sunday starts with coffee in bed, brunch at my favorite spot, Three Little Birds Cafe, then usually some walking around downtown window shopping (maybe a little actual shopping) or catching up on some school work. Maxi dresses are my best friend on the weekends. They are so so comfortable, think yoga pants but better, yet they make you look all put together with minimal effort. This would be my ideal Sunday outfit comfy, cute, and polished!

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! 

Always,
