One Year Anniversary

A year ago today, August 19th 2014, I decided to start this preppy fashion account. It wasn't something I'd thought about much, I just wanted to do something. I followed a bunch of preppy bloggers on my personal account and thought "why not give it a try?'' I took a couple pictures and made the account! Initially my pictures were not that great as I had a scratch on the camera of my old phone, but with time the photos and my photography skills have gotten better, I also may have learned a thing or two about editing!

 Here is my account represented in 13 pictures, one for each month of this wonderful journey!

It has been a rocky journey to get this many followers, to keep up with posting and to post only original photos, but my account has come a long way throughout the past year! I really just want to thank my amazing followers for their support and for liking what I do! I want to thank everyone who has supported me in the last year, and I especially want to thank those that weren't so supportive of me about my account, it made me more motivated to be successful, and here I am with 10k followers and a bright future ahead of me, so thanks for the motivation! I love all my followers so much!

 

Now as Kate Spade said " Eat Cake For Breakfast" and as Lilly Pulitzer said, "Life's a PARTY, dress like it!"

Canvas DIY

Over the course of the past month I have been re-doing my room! The last time I designed my room, I was ten years old and my style was completely different. This time around I decided to go with a light blue all around.  Although I have yet to order a new comforter, and have tons of pins ready to go, my first canvas was a success and here's how I did it!

First, I decided on what verse to paint, (you could also do a quote), then I outlined the letters, next I did the blue stripes in the background, and then I added the anchor and filled in the letters with Ya Gotta Regatta!

Blue Dress, Bangles, and a Brand new day!

Today I paired a simple blue dress from Marshalls ($20), with my platinum Palm Beach Sandals for church!

 

I accessorized with some arm bangles from Preppy Pearls Southern Girls (@preppypearls_southerngirls on Instagram), I sported my monogrammed purse and also wore my gold monogram necklace from B. Whimsy (@b.whimsygifts on Instagram!)

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my Outfit of the day!

Puppy Bloopers

In this blog post I wanted to take a more lighthearted route, and also introduce some family!

My dogs are constantly photographed in my pictures, so why not show some of the funny sides of my photos?

 

 

My dad has two dogs, first pictured is Peedee, she makes regular appearances in photos as she is my personal favorite. She's a golden retriever and she makes lots of faces and may or may not be a little overweight.

Peedee is Constantly trying to chew my jewelry, she tried to eat my Fairwater Trading Company bracelet!

I tried to be clever with the JadeLynnBrooke deer sticker but Peedee wasn't too HAPPY about it (see what I did there)?

 

Aside from eating my stuff and making weird faces, sometimes Peedee just makes random appearances.

 

 

My Dads second dog is Mini Wheat, she doesn't make many appearances in photos but when she does she usually has her tongue out or is trying to lick my clothes and jewelry. She is 15 years old, and a total sweetheart!

 

My friend got this puppy, Margo, not to long ago, I posted a picture with her but puppies do wiggle around a lot!

 

Do not be shocked by what you read next, but my mom has 4 dachshunds, yes 4. Their names are Snickers, Wilbur, Sammie, and Bama, I have only photographed 2 for this account because they are the youngest, and they are Wilbur and Snickers.

Hopefully you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

NYC Lilly P.

It was quite the walk to get here but I made it to the NYC Lilly, I posted a small vid on Instagram of a mini tour, the looks I got were hilarious! But for those of you who didn't see it, or haven't yet, here you go!

 

I tried my best to try on things I hadn't seen in other stores because this Lilly store is one of the biggest! I fell in love with so many things but only got one skirt (on sale). However I plan on going back or ordering this new Fall dress!

 

(a couple more try ons)

 

One of my Favorite parts of this store was the décor! There was a spiral staircase with bright pink walls and paintings all the way up! There were also quotes painted all around the store! The dressing rooms were huge to the ones I've seen, so I snapped a couple pics of those as well! On this trip I also visited the new Rhode Island Lilly Store, as well as the Cape Cod Lilly, but I have to say the New York City Lilly is my Favorite!

4th of July

I had a few potential fourth of July looks but here are the details of each!

 

First off is what I'd consider my casual look! I'm at the beach so this will most likely be the outfit I sport for the majority of the day! Its casual and easy to wear! I won the shoes from a giveaway from @dailydosage on Instagram.  I did a Collaborative giveaway with @bwhimsygifts to get this free tank! I bought the headband from Michael's (the crafting store) because all of their items were on sale, and the shorts are simple 3" chinos from J. Crew (navy).

 

 

 

My second option was my simplistic Lilly Girl look! I wore my Sparks Fly Callahan's with a white v neck tee from target! I wore my Palm Beach Sandals with this look (LOVE THEM). I also had a few Alex and Ani bracelets, one with sand dollars, one with my initial, and one with a soccer ball!

 

 

My third and final look was more dressy, I would probably wear it to a picnic. I sported a flag printed scarf from the target dollar bin, a white oxford from GAP, navy Chinos from J. Crew, Alex and Ani bracelets, and for shoes I went with a recent purchase from old navy that reminded me a lot of Sparks fly by Lilly P. (they were only ten dollars so I couldn't help myself)

 

 

I also found this super cute bow at Michaels and couldn't resist!

Happy Fourth to those reading today!

Senior Pictures

I'm a rising senior, therefore I got to do my Senior pictures this past week, I got to pick out 6 outfits and I got to model three for my pictures because there was rain and I didn't get to finish. I started my session with an iced coffee while I got my hair done!

I decided on two Lilly Pulitzer dresses, and my favorite red white and blue paisley pants with a red tank.

Hair curled and make up done, I went on to do my drape picture, the drape is actually a black piece of cloth with a piece of Velcro on the back, it was not a real piece of clothing which I thought was interesting!

I styled my 1st Lilly dress with pearls, earring and necklace, and for shoes I wore wedges!

I styled my 2nd Lilly dress with pearl earrings and a monogram ring and wedges again!

I styled my third look with pearl earrings, and a monogram necklace, paired with a Kendra Scott necklace, with white Jack Rogers!

Here is a picture of me carrying all of my stuff around on the way to different sites to take pictures!

Unfortunately my session had to end early because of the rain, but this was the outfit I ended on and the purse I managed to carry everything in by Miche. I will hopefully be monogramming this purse soon!
