Stocking Stuffers 2016

Here is the next segment of my gift guide series- stocking stuffer edition. First of all this wonderful stocking is one of my all time favorites of the season. Each year I get a new stocking from Jacob Wallace Designs and each year they meet my expectations and exceed them with their amazing quality and color. You can even use my code 'DELANEY' for 20% off! They have a variety of Lilly patterns and it is just a great company over all.

With all of that said, here are my top ten stocking stuffers of 2016!

Introducing the first of my Christmas series here on the blog. Enjoy! (I'm sure some of these gifts apply to other age groups as well, however I will be having gift guides for different age groups coming soon!)

Cozy in Cardigans

Hello everyone, long time no blog, but hopefully that will be changing as from now on I will be uploading a post every Wednesday (or maybe even more). I wanted to write about a trend I've been loving lately- cardigans. Since I've been here at East Carolina University, the weather has been a little all over the place, however now that the temperature is dropping and it seems that fall is actually here, I'd love to share some tips about my favorite cardigans of the season.

These two cardigans are from Forever 21. My sorority sisters can attest to this; I am always wearing these. This tan cardigan is oversized (pictures 3 and 4) , I got a large and I do not regret it. I dress this cardigan up and down constantly. I run across campus with a sorority tee and leggings, or I can wear it will dark jeans and a J. Crew painters tee. As for the gray(pictures 1 and 2) I'm not going to lie, half of why I bought this was for how soft it was. It feels like I'm wearing a blanket and I'm not complaining about it whatsoever. Both of these sweaters are perfect for the cold months ahead. (plus they're only $20 so you can't really beat that price)

Feeling Great in Green

It's not quite vest season yet, but as you can see, I'm ready for it. Its not quite bean boots season, jeans season, or sweater season either, I'm ready for Fall fashion though! In this look I styled my KJP anchor bracelet and a Kendra Scott bracelet as well. I wore dark wash jeans and Bean Boots also!

 

This vest is from J. Crew and it's probably my favorite vest that I own. I wore my everyday necklace from Kendra Scott and this Pop of green striped sweater from GAP!

 

Xoxo, Delaney

Show your Ropes and Show your Shep Shirt

 

Now that Rush is over, I can finally say I will be back to blogging regularly! If you are new here, I'm Delaney and welcome to my Blog! If you've been following me for a while, you may know how much I have been wanting a navy, gingham oxford, and after getting my hands on one, you can expect to see it on the blog quite often. This pairing is my new favorite combo!

 I styled a navy oxford underneath my Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt and cuffed the sleeves to show off my layering. I styled this look with dark jeans and bean boots (I'm excited for Fall if you can't tell).

My accessories for this look include pieces from Kendra Scott, KJP and this striped watch. I tried some pattern mixing with this look by tying in Navy into each patter. This Anchor bracelet is from KJP and is the perfect gold piece to match this gingham look.

Lets just fall into fall fashion, Am I right?

 

xoxo, Delaney

 

2 Year Recap

This past Friday, August 19th, I celebrated 2 years of blogging via Instagram. Some of you have been here with me throughout this journey, some of you are new here and Welcome! I wanted to do a quick recap of the last year, as at my first blogaversery I did a recap of that first year, so here's a recap of the second year!

September: East Carolina Visits and football games, I got to meet Olivia from @faithandliv

 October: Homecoming with my friend Andrew, an awesome time with an awesome guy (and an awesome jeep)

 November: I organized a shoot with my gal pals and we took a bunch of pictures together, this one was one of my favorites (almost a year later and I don't know how I pulled off this shoot)

 December: Short Pump Christmas shoot!

 January: Snow Shoot during our first dusting!

 February: Valentines shoot, this was one of the coldest photoshoots I've ever endured but I found this pink house and took one of my pinterest famous photos during this shoot.

 March: This again was one of the coldest shoots ever! I loved this outfit and my friend Cornelia did my make up! This was also the day of my first Vlog.

 April: Shoot at Maymont, I took some good adventure photos and figured out how to get dressed in the middle of a bamboo forest for an outfit change #goodtimes.

 May: The Lilly Dresses come out.

 June: Dream Job became reality in later May and Early June!

 July: 20K!!!

 August: Move into College Dorm.

 Y'all have been here through many milestones with me and I couldn't be more thankful for each and every one of you. God has blessed me so much and I love y'all!

xx, Delaney
