Be sure to be on the lookout for a back to school collab tomorrow, and some more exciting posts to follow! And be sure to keep reading for this week's Friday Favorites!

I love this post on things only preppy southern girls understand.

Cathleen at Classy Cathleen has a great letter to her 12 year old self that everyone needs to go and read immediately.

These important life skills every girl should know are really empowering and inspiring.

I might be using a few of these Kate Spade party ideas for my next party!

 I recently discovered the amazing Gracie In Prep, and her blog is one of my all time favorites. She is so sweet and just celebrated her one year blogiversary!


♥Shades Of Pink♥



Again... my most worn piece of jewelry

So here I am trying to be your basic fashion blogger but honestly I just look lost...


Dress ~ Dillards
Bracelet ~ James Avery
Shoes ~ Target

As y'all know, I've spent the past week visiting family in Houston. While shopping, I picked this up on SALE and fell in love! I think the neckline is so cute and the bright pink is a nice change from my usual shades of blue. The beads add a fun little touch and it's a different length than the other dresses I own, yet another reason this dress stands out to me.

I wore this on the final night of our stay when we went to Table 24, a nice little restaurant in a small town called Lake Jackson. I got an amazing salad and some chicken that was to die for, so I definitely recommend checking it out if you happen to be in the area. I had so much fun the past week shopping and going different places, and I can't wait to go down there again next year! Thanks for reading!

P.S. |Stay tuned for some back to school posts coming SOON!

Friday Picks

  Happy Friday! This week I've been in Houston visiting family, so I've been pretty busy. I haven't had much time to be online, so forgive me if I've been inactive. I've been doing lots of shopping so hopefully there will be a haul post or an outfit post soon!

Coffee Table Books

I have always been a reader, but I typically stick to mostly fiction. Recently I have been reading less stories and more lifestyle books, such as books about decor, food, and fashion, though, and I've been missing out my whole life! Not only are these great reads, they are also perfect decor to display on a coffee table!



Kate Spade - Places to Go, People to See - I love to travel, and this book has me itching to buy a plane ticket to any of the amazing destinations featured in here.

Erin Gleeson - The Forest Feast - This book is not only filled with beautiful photography, all the recipes in it are very natural and healthy and look (and taste!) delicious.

Alexa Chung - It - This book is not only a great memoir full of attitude, it is also a collection of style tips and inspiration.

Kate Spade - Things We Love - Things We Love has so much inspiration when it comes to design and style. 

Jolene Hart - Eat Pretty - This book has so many good tips and recipes for natural beauty.

A Beautiful Mess - Photo Idea Book - I love all the photography tips and ideas in this book, and I love experimenting with them on my Instagram!  (Shameless self-promo here)

Happy reading!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Picks

Nordstrom lovers rejoice, because the biggest sale of the year has officially started. Seriously. This is the time to drop everything and run to nordstrom.com, because the best deals sell out fast. The sale is only open to cardholders at the moment, but you can apply for a card if you don't have one yet. (Which you should totally do, so you don't miss out on events like these again!) I'm honestly not dying for any of these, so I don't think I'll get much. I mainly have my eye on the Kendra Scott, and I'm really hoping to get it! However, all of these are super cute, and if I had an unlimited credit card it would only be a matter of days before these showed up at my doorstep.Nordstrom Anniversary Top Picks
