summer. in. lilly.




It's not every day that I wear a Lilly Pulitzer skirt (aka, close to never), but that's exactly what I sported during a casual outing a few weeks ago. To be honest, when I first purchased this skirt on sale last summer, I wasn't exactly sure how to style it. I mean, the fluorescent floral print by itself can be downright intimidating. Add in the wrong top and you have a potential fashion fiasco at your hands. And, we all know that no one wants that!

Ultimately, I opted to take a back-to-basics approach by pairing my pretty floral number with a white tee. Simple really does it. In true "me" fashion, I went a step further and knotted my t-shirt for a slightly more pulled-together look. To complement my easy-going #ootd, I accessorized with a high-shine, seafoam green crossbody bag, mirrored aviators, and sparkly ballerinas to boot. The result was a #winning look — not only was this an uber girly + fun outfit to wear on a hot summer day, but the compliments kept on coming too!

What's your favorite way to wear a white t-shirt? Are there any winning combos that you swear by? Let me know in the comments below!

january. the. list.

I never thought that I’d say this, but I’m currently all shopped out.  I got everything that I wanted for Christmas and honestly don’t need anything right now.  Give me a few months, however, and I’m sure that I’ll be walking to a different tune.  

With that being said, for this month’s edition of “the list,” I tried to keep things streamlined and practical. A planner for the new year, an exciting new shade of nail polish (or two!) and anything radiant orchid (hello 2014 Pantone Color of the Year!) are just a few of the things that I kept in mind when compiling my roundup.  Enjoy!

january. the. list.


1.  Polka Dot Sweater (chinti and parker)- I’m not sure what I like about this sweater more: the whimsical polka dots or the fact that it’s 100% cashmere?  If it weren’t for the hefty price, it would already be mine...
2.  Cartel Top (Joie)- If you’ve been following along, then you know that I’ve been on a major chambray kick lately.  This chambray shirt from Joie is perfect throw it on under a chunky knit cardigan and out the door you go!
3. 2014 Lilly Pulitzer Monthly Planner (Lifeguard Press)- I’m big on planners and normally invest in two agendas for the year (take note, however, that I only really need one!).  Although I passed on Lilly’s classic agenda this go-around, I couldn’t not spotlight it:  look at THOSE elephants!    
4.  Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel (Ulta)- Revlon just came out with a line of nail polishes that dry with irresistible fragrances.  I’m eyeing “Lime Basil” and “Pink Pineapple.”
5.  Fairgrounds Ring (Kate Spade)- Kate Spade’s motto for 2014 is to “travel colorfully” and I couldn’t be more excited!  For their new arrivals this month, KSNY draws inspiration from Brighton, England.  I don’t know about you, but this candy-shaped ring is calling for me.
6.  The A Satchel (Kate Spade Saturday)- A gorgeous satchel in a mesmerizing shade of mint...basically the most perfect winter pastel imaginable.  Am I right?!
7.  Roseburg Coat (rag & bone)- Something tells me that this coat would have come in handy during the recent #polarvortex we experienced...
8.  Solid Knee-High Sock (American Apparel)- I know what you’re thinking:  those socks don’t look like anything special.  While there may be cuter socks on the market, I can attest that these are indeed the warmest and coziest ones that I’ve encountered.  #truth  
9.  Dots and Stripes Card Set (Lifeguard Press)- Nothing beats an old-fashioned, handwritten letter especially when the card itself is this classy.  Polka dots, anyone?
10.  Kate Spade Sticky Note Set (Lifeguard Press)- Thanks to Kate Spade, writing yourself friendly little reminders and to-do lists has never been so easy.  DONE!
11.  Ice Cream Key Fob (Kate Spade)- Do I need an ice cream shaped key fob?  No.  Do I want one anyway?  Yes, please!
12.  Featherweight Cashmere Long-Sleeve Tee (J.Crew)- J.Crew, you had me at “cashmere.”  Even better that it’s available in neon orchid...just the pop of color that your winter uniform has been waiting for.
 
Happy Friday!  Don’t forget to leave a comment sharing what you’re currently coveting!
