Top 5 College Must-Haves

Hi y'all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Even though I've only been in college for a little while, I can definitely tell which items I'm going to be using more than others! Here are my top 5 college must-haves!

(1) Rain Boots: I cannot even say how much y'all will need these. In the past couple of days, it has rained a lot here in Winston-Salem, and it pays off to have rain boots!

(2) I like to have my Tervis Tumbler around in case I get thirsty! I also love the Lilly Pulitzer tumblers, they're very popular here!

(3) I use my Longchamp bag every day for class. It's the perfect size, and I have it in navy so it goes with everything! Some of my friends have the waterproof Longchamp which is really nice to have, especially if you get caught in the rain walking to class.

(4) Y'all know my obsession with my Lilly planner, but it really does help me stay organized! 

(5) I live in norts. I really do. They are super comfortable and easy!

What are y'alls favorite college items! Let me know!!

Have a lovely day!

Top 5 Favorite Accessories

I'm a firm believer that accessories can make or break an outfit! They can spice up an otherwise plain outfit, as well as tie up the loose ends of an incomplete ensemble. There are a million types of accessories to choose from, but I've picked my top 4 favorite accessories of all time! 

(1) Pearls are a girl's best friend! I don't really wear a ton of jewelry, but I am never without my favorite pearls! I wear pearl earrings every day, a pearl bracelet on the days that I do bracelet stacking, and I try to wear my pearl necklace as often as I can!

(2) While I haven't worn them as much as of late, headbands will always be one of my favorite accessories! I have worn them my entire life and they never let me down. I love styles from High Cotton Ties, J. Crew, Vineyard Vines, and PreppyStyle.Net! Now that my hair is getting longer, I like how my hair looks in headbands, so who knows? Maybe I'll wear them more often!

(3) My mother has raised me to absolutely adore tote bags! They are definitely one of my favorite accessories of all time. I started using a tote bag instead of a backpack when I was in 7th grade, so I have tried out every option possible! I am planning to get a navy Longchamp Le Pliage bag really soon, but some of my favorite brands for tote bags are Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, Kate Spade, and Vera Bradley.

(4) I am not lying, I actually live in Murfee scarves from Lilly Pulitzer. They are the best. They are also great for all seasons, which is a plus! I will wear them with t-shirts, sweaters, dresses...anything!

(5) Okay, so technically my fifth favorite accessory is...shoes. It covers a HUGE category, but I really couldn't choose between Jack Rogers and riding boots! They are so incredibly different, but I could literally spend the entire year in those 2 types of shoes. I start wearing Jack Rogers as soon as I get back from spring break, and I wear them until my toes can't stand the cold any longer! If I could choose my two favorite colors of Jacks, I would say fuschia and platinum. With riding boots, I can wear them with skirts, jeans, dresses, and leggings! My favorite pair of boots ever are from Madewell.

What are y'alls favorite accessories? Let me know!!

Have a wonderful day!

Top 5 Favorite Beauty Products

I am absolutely obsessed with everything beauty related, and I love sharing my favorite items that I've come across! I am always looking for new products to try out. 

(1) Moroccan Oil is literally God's gift to women, men, children, pets, EVERYONE. I love, love, love it so much because of how much it improves the look and feel of my hair. If you are looking for a quick and wonderful fix, use the basic Moroccan Oil after towel drying your hair. But, if you want to go all out, use the amazing shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, anti-frizz spray, and moisturizer. My mom and I have everything! It smells amazing and it's really just the best.

(2) If you are looking for a cheaper hair fix, my favorite drugstore hair product is Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle. Whether you use it for 30 seconds or the full 3 minutes, this deep conditioner is great! It smells soooo good and it's fantastic for repairing your hair!

(3) I have spoken of my love for Benefit's BadGal Lash many times, and I cannot stress enough how great this mascara is. If I could live on one makeup item, it would be this mascara. It literally gives you lashes. Whenever I wear it, people think I'm wearing false eyelashes!

(4) To pump up your lashes even more, use an Eyelash Curler. I like the Shu Uemura eyelash curler (everyone's favorite). It makes your eyes look bigger and your lashes look longer/fuller instantly! I sometimes heat it up using my blow dryer to give my lashes a bigger punch.

(5) Lastly, I am a huge fan of Burt's Bees Chapstick. There are soo many to choose from! Recently, I've been using the ultra conditioning formula, and it's great! I'm sitting out in the sun most of the day during the summer, so it's inevitable for my lips to burn. But, with Burt's Bees chapstick, they stay nice and healthy!

Are there any beauty products that y'all can't live without? Let me know!

Have a lovely day!!
