Classic Katie and Coffee

This past Saturday I finally got to meet Katie, @classickatie , we grabbed Starbucks and decided to do a photoshoot and some shopping. We started our day at Starbucks and talked about everything from our boyfriends to our future YouTube plans. Katie got an Iced Coffee and I got a Java Chip Frappuccino.

After coffee, we headed on over to Pink Palm which is a Lilly store near us, we shopped around and adored the spring sale, and then decided to hit one other Boutique before the shoot.

We went to University of Richmond to Shoot and although it was extremely hot and we were both sweating, we took some awesome photos and you can most definitely expect to see collaborations with Katie in the future!

Kendra Scott Richmond

Recently, in the mall I work in, Short Pump, a Kendra Scott store opened! It opened July first! At first, this disappointed me because my birthday month is June and they offer a discount for birthdays, so I just missed this because they opened the first day in July. I also had never been in a Kendra store so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Initially when I walked in, I was shocked, I didn't see any colorful jewelry which is part of why I love Kendra so much. There was lots of neutral jewelry around the store, and don't get me wrong, I love a good white and gold bracelet, but I was ready to be overwhelmed with color, and I wasn't, even though that is what I'd hoped for.

I started talking to the girls that work there and realized a lot of them were customers at Lilly Pulitzer Short Pump, where I work, and that made great for conversation, I went to go to check out with one bracelet (pictured below), and an employee mentioned a special deal that was going on for the 4th of July AND their opening..

I was spending $50 for this bracelet, when I was told about this sale, if I were to spend $75 I would get a free bracelet (ft. in blue, pictured below, red and mint were also options), AND their was a discount on the color bar, 15% off. At first I thought the color bar was just kind of a toy, to play with all the options you can have for jewelry. You can play with the options, but when you come to the finished product, you tell an employee what you'd like and show them the screen, then THEY PUT TOGETHER THE JEWELRY RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! Can y'all tell how happy that made me! I was so pleasantly surprised and ended up picking out a ring (below).

 (free bracelet with $75 spend)

So I ended up spending about $100, but I got three awesome pieces that I can wear all the time, from an awesome place, and a brand I love. I will be visiting the girls at Kendra Scott Richmond again in the future and will of course be making all Kendra purchases there in the future as well. They gave me a cute fall magazine and they also had macaroons out with mimosas! So cute and so much love for this brand and this new store!

I hope y'all enjoyed reading about my experience in this amazing store!

5 Lilly Pulitzer Stylings

As a lot of you may know, I've recently started working at the Lilly Pulitzer Short Pump Location, since I began working, my collection has grown dramatically and it inspired to me share 5 looks with you all!

Look #1: Casual dress

This is the Barefoot Princess Essie Dress, paired with white Jack Rogers and pink tassel earrings. This dress is perfect to throw on and go to the beach, run around town, go shopping and so much more. It's extremely easy to dress up or down and is super comfortable.

Look #2: Coral Top

This lavender top and white skinny's are amazing for shopping or brunch/ coffee dates with your girls, I dressed this up by sporting wedges, but by switching up the shoes, this can be dressed down quite easily. I wore white pants to dress it up, but it can also be dressed down by sporting shorts instead. I paired this brown tote and it matched my wedges perfectly to really complete the look.

Look #3: Popover

The popover is a classic Lilly Clothing piece, its easy to wear and fun to go around in. This is my most casual look and it great for a morning boat ride in the summer, or just running errands around town.

Look #4: Date Night Shift

A Lilly Shift is a classic for weddings, date night, graduation parties and more. I chose this Yachtzee Shift because Fiona from @preppynyc on Instagram has this too and she will also be doing 5 Lilly Looks on her blog (linked at the bottom). The Navy detailing down the front is so classy and a little different for Lilly because they mostly do white detailing. A shift is perfect for any special occasion.

Look #5: Adie Shorts

My last piece I styled was this pair of gold and white striped Adie Shorts. They look like J. Crew and they're quite subtle and very classy. I paired these with a pink Piko top (these are trendy in college).



I really hope y'all enjoyed these 5 Lilly Pulitzer looks, make sure you go check out Fiona's blogpost on 5 other Lilly Looks! www.preppynyc.weebly.com.

Krass & Co

Recently I was reached out to by Krass and Co, they are an adorable athletic wear company with bright colors and fun patterns ,this brand is perfect for the girl that loves color, which is most definitely me. They sent me a few products to review and I am completely obsessed with every one of them.

 

Sailors Delight Tank:

This tank is super light weight and comfortable, I paired it with some Lilly Pulitzer white beach shorts, this outfit is perfect for running errands, doing yoga, lounging around, or working out.

The next look is perfect for the 4th of July, I'm sporting the Lucky Liberty Leggings and the Lucky Liberty Sports Bra, I also threw a tank over this later and it looked great! One thing I was concerned about was the band at the top of the leggings, its adorable however I was curious as to how to style things with it because I expected the band to get in the way. However, when you throw on a tank, you can barely see the band at all (unless you tie up your shirt). The leggings are super comfortable and I'm obsessed with the fact that they're navy! No more Blavying for this girl.

I love all these wonderful pieces and I encourage you to check out www.krassandco.com for all of your athletic apparel needs.

Pool Float Guide

As a lot of you may have noticed on my Instagram @Imapreppygirl , I may or may not have a slight addiction to pool floats and accessories. However I have some tricks up my sleeve on where to find the cutest floats (some for amazing prices) and I hope you all enjoy this guide and find the floats you've been looking for. And just as a side note, I personally do not even have a pool, just a pool float addiction, this is possible.

5 below is one of my favorite places to buy pool floats and accessories AND on top of that, they are all five dollars, or less!

I know what you're all thinking, "these Pinterest famous Donut floats are at 5 Below!?", and to put it simply, yes, I personally have the pink one from 5 below itself, the only difference between this one and the $20 ones are that the $20 are slightly bigger, and maybe a little nicer quality, but for $20 I could get two pink donut floats, AND two brown donut floats, OR I could get one slightly larger and nicer donut float, the choice is yours my friends. 

So now the question is, what else is at 5 below that you didn't know about, well here are a few others:

 

Flamingo:

Pizza:

Mini Flamingo drink floats:

 

Lilly Beach Ball (free with purchase at Lilly P. Memorial Day event)

    Pineapple Float: Toys R Us (linked below from another site)
