Summer Outfits

Summer is my favorite season because of the sun and the outfits I get to wear! It sounds very shallow, but I love the colors and choices available for fun summer outfits. 


The two outfits shown above are kind of my go-to things to wear for the past couple of weeks. I got the denim mini at the J. Crew outlet (on super sale...I love it!) and I can pair it with SO MANY tops! I like the J. Crew gingham shirt because it's really light and comfortable, and I also like to wear the skirt with a v-neck t-shirt (like this one at Vineyard Vines). The second outfit is one of my favorites. The white eyelet top was honestly the best purchase of the year from Lilly Pulitzer, I wear it all of the time with so many shorts/pants! The shorts shown above are so pretty because of the scalloped edge and I just am obsessed with the print. I really only wear sandals in the summer, and I am so happy about buying the Kate Spade sandals shown above. They were on super sale (yay!) and they're really comfortable. Jack Rogers are, of course, my go-to shoes!

While half of the time I am in shorts and a cute top, the other half of the time I am in a Lilly Pulitzer dress. I am a huge fan of the classic shift dress paired with Jack's. It's comfortable, flattering, and I always recieve compliments on the fun Lilly prints. Otherwise, if I'm going out with friends, I like to wear really fun dresses, such as my favorite dress shown above on the right. It's the Georgie Dress from Lilly, and it's honestly the best. It's so summery!! I can also wear it with any sandals I want!


For more casual days, I am usually in nike shorts and a T-shirt or a bikini! I love Lilly and Vineyard Vines bikinis, especially the bandeau styles. I like to pack all my tanning/pool accessories in a tote bag (most likely one from Lilly). When I'm just hanging out at home, I'm always wearing a t-shirt and norts. It's the most comfortable outfit EVER!

What do y'all wear in the summer? Any favorite combinations? Let me know!

Have a fabulous summer day!

Fun in the Sun!

In preparation for when senior spring really starts (meaning when it actually gets sunny and warm), I've made a list of my favorite things for hanging out outside!!

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Sunscreen
1. Sunscreen: I would be as red as a tomato if I didn't use sunscreen when I tan. I have fair skin that burns somewhat easily (though I do get really tan in the summer), so I need sunscreen to protect my skin in the sun. I love the Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch sunscreen because it smells so good!! They also have a kind that has shimmer in the sunscreen which I think is a great idea!


2. Sunless Tanner and Bronzer: For those who try to tan and fail (I'm calling out my best friend and my father here...), there are always alternatives to the actual sun! As y'all know, I am a huge fan of Benefit Cosmetics, so I would go straight there to purchase some bronzing products! I like Sun Beam, which is basically a liquid bronzing highlighter, and Hoola, a basic bronzing powder. For the rest of the body, I've used Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer. It does look really natural when you apply it, just remember to wash your hands afterwards!

3. Beach waves: I have been loving curly hair lately, and to make hair less "perfect", I recommend the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. It really works!


4. Lilly Lifeguard Press Gear: If anyone knows about summer, it's Lilly!

5. Bikini: I am a huge lover of Lilly Pulitzer, J. Crew, and Vineyard Vines swimsuits. They're my personal favorites and I couldn't imagine summer without them! I recently just bought an American Flag bikini and I can't wait to wear it for senior-themed pool parties in the next couple of weeks! I also like seersucker bikinis and the monogrammed bikini top at Marley Lilly!


6. Towel: Your beach towel should always be brightly colored and super fun! Lilly Pulitzer has done beach towel giveaways in the past (which my family has stocked up on), but Ralph Lauren and Vera Bradley also have some great options.

What are y'alls favorite items for hanging out in the sun? Let me know!!

Have a great day!! 30 days until graduation!!
