One // Bauble Bar Monogram Necklace

If you know me, you know I love a good monogram necklace. I’m currently wearing this one, but it’s showing some signs of wear and tear, so I’m thinking of getting a new one. This one would be a perfect option for me to dress down. I’m thinking of the tortoise or the tiger lilly color, but I’m not so sure which one I’ll get. If you sign up for Bauble Bar’s email’s, you’ll get a 20% off coupon- which I’ll def use on this!

Two // Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Damn. I had seen the movie twice, and then I decided to read the book. I’ll admit, it was a little slow starting off, but once Amy got to the point she started her present day diary entries- I was hooked. This book really makes you think- are the people you know authentic or are they just putting on a front? I loved the contrasting themes of Amy’s reality and Nick’s reality. Y’all do yourself a favor and check this book out! I’m giving it a 9/10 (only because of the slow start).

Three // “Settle Down” by the 1975

Ugh, I’ve been so into the 1975 lately! I love their sound and their songs are so freaking catchy! “Settle Down” is my current favorite.

Four // 48 Things Celebrities Wore 10 Years Ago That They Wouldn’t be Caught Dead in Now

 I saw this link on Facebook, so as usual I had to click on it. Little did I know I was in for a serious laugh. The article features stars like Brit Brit, Paris, Nicole Riche, and Kim K wearing hilarious getups such as silky dresses with thick belts, platform boots and tiny scarves.

Five // To-do Lists

To-do lists are my favorite way to get all my thoughts down. With the amount of stuff I’m doing this week, I’ve definitely got to write everything down! Plus it’s too fun to be able to check everything off after I’ve done it.

July Instagram Roundup

Posted in Lifestyle
on 07/30/2015


I would have to consider myself a typical southern girl. In addition to drinking copious amounts of sweet tea and saying “y’all” every other word, I also love monograms. What a shocker?! I currently own my own Etsy store, Sweet Tea Southern Bee.  We specialize in custom embroidery and vinyl monogramming. I’ve been working super hard getting out orders all month! Although it may be tiring, it’s what I love to do. This is the cutest little set of pillowcases, and look at how I packaged it- so adorable! I’m actually working on a little revamp of my Esty shop, so stay tuned y’all!

In the beginning of July, my family and I took a trip to Maine. It was so beautiful. I was mostly just excited to get away from the cray cray LA weather. My beautiful mama and I took this picture on Peak’s Island. Peak’s Island is literally the Seaside of Maine. I felt like I was in a movie where kids have adventures in their small quaint town during the summer.. lol.

If you go to Maine, you MUST get an Italian. My fave are from Sam’s!

We traveled to Bah-ston next. Man, do I love the city! The fam and I went to see a Boston Red Sox vs Yankees game. We were in standing room only so I was getting pretty tired by the end. The Sox ended up losing, but the game was such a fun time!

For some reason, I often unintentionally pair red, white, and blue toegether. These shorts are my FAVORITE things ever. And you can’t forget my red and gold jacks, monogrammed necklace, and Mini MAC. Perf shopping day outfit! Not too much to take off and put back on repeatedly.

Palmin’ around! See my post here. Ugh I am in love with  my new Ray Ban mirrored aviators– so chic.

Me and my bestie! We like to get together and take pictures (of course) as well as eat ALOT of food and gossip about various celebrities daily lives. Fun fact: we’ve played twins in a show before so I thought it was only fitting for us to post a twin Ray Ban pic.

Y’all have seen this one before.. Mani Monday with Essie Bikini so Teeny– my favorite creamy summer blue! And of a pineapple makes everything a little cuter.

Look how adorable my notebook is? I just added it onto my shop, so check it out! This week I was super busy with blogging, planning to blog, and keeping up with my shop!

True Life: It took me twenty minutes to take this picture… No shame, no shame. Again with the USA themed outfit. I entitle this one: gingham glam. My gingham shirt is from Gap (I linked similar), my adorable blue skirt is from JCrew Factory, as well as my pearls.

When you give yourself a pedicure and it looks so good you just have to show it off…

I am a constant to-do list writer.. it may or may not be a problem. Who doesn’t like checking things off?!

Two inch decals are up in my shop now! I loove to fill up my camelback and take it with me on the go when I’m running errands.

This week has been a constant blur of work, blogging, and eating (I mean can it get any better?!). I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy by researching blog ideas- I’ve found one I think is so interesting- a weekly sort of round-up, if will. I’ll share links, movies, photos, books- pretty much anything I’m currently finding intriguing/interesting this week!

 

One // Eye-Catching Shoes That Made the Outfit

Abigail Spencer is totally rocking this vintage 1960’s vibe. Her graphic shift dress with exposed zippers paired with her emerald green and white Malone Souliers is making me swoon. I’m definitely taking some outfit insp from this one!

Two // 3D Printing Clothes

Y’all I think is just about the coolest thing I’ve seen. A fashion student printed a ready to wear collection entirely using a 3D printer. Her designs are so simplistic but so chic. And, the movement of the clothes- wow.

Three // Stitches by Shawn Mendes

It’s official, I’m obsessed. I’ve always loved Shawn Mendes and after seeing him on Taylor’s 1989 tour- I fell more in love. He is so humble, and did I mention he is adorable? This song has been stuck in my head all week, it’s so dang catchy!

Four // Gigi New York Desert Rose Zip Pouch

I’m in need of a new wallet, and I was browsing on Gigi NY’s site, when I stumbled upon this bad boy! It’s so adorable and it’s ON SALE (possibly some of my favorite words)! This color is perfect because it’s a neutral and will match with any purse I’m currently using! I think I may have to splurge and purchase this!

 

Five // Lemon Water

Yes I know this is random, but hey, it’s a favorite! I’ve been drinking lemon water by the gallon lately (I’m not even kidding). It’s super good for you! Lemon water acts a natural detox, as well as helping with blemishes, freshening breath, and it’s helping me cut coke out of my diet too (acts as caffeine)
