Oh Shep!

Happy Tuesday Bows and Blitzes!

I came across this little gem yesterday and I just had to share. Plaid and a Shep Shirt?! I think I died and went to heaven. Vineyard Vines released this little beauty for the holiday season, and I think you all should take advantage. Plus, they’re offering free shipping on every order right now with the code GIFT14! VV is known for being high quality and high prep- so really, it’a impossible to go wrong. 16 Days until Christmas!!!

A Very Lilly Christmas

Happy Monday Bows & Blitzes!

As we continually get into the Holiday Spirit, we also continue to decorate. An ornament I found that would look perfect on a Christmas Tree is this Lilly Pulitzer one. It’s so beautiful, and it’ll remind you of sunnier times. It would look cute on a personal, mini tree for a dorm, or it would look cute on a big “family” ornament tree. You could even go crazy and have a Lilly themed tree (there I go again with crazy ideas.) How do you guys like to decorate for Christmas?!

Friday Favorites 12.05.14

Good Morning, Bows and Blitzes!

It’s Friday, Friday..(where is Rebecca Black when you need her?!) Thanksgiving break is always such a tease. My friends and I all agree that Christmas Break needs to be here, pronto. We officially now have one learning week and one exam week until Christmas break! (Fingers crossed we make it.) Naturally, I’ve been a caffeine-fueled mess this week (so, it was a normal week.) But I did have time to make a favorites list for y’all :)

Favorite Drink: Black Coffee With Peppermint. I go to Starbucks quite frequently. Like, sometimes multiple times a day. It’s bad, I know. But this drink is a great way to get your “Christmas Drink” fix without all the calories of their Holiday Lattes and Mochas (although they will always have a special place in my heart.)

Favorite Way to Sweat: I have been a full-on yogi again this week, and it feels SO good to be back in practice. Namaste, loves.

Favorite Nail Color: Essie Topless and Barefoot. It’s a nude (in case that wasn’t obvious.) It’s a good switch from the dark colors I’ve been rocking lately. I’m planning on some new gel here very soon. There’s just something about a professional manicure that makes me feel so put together.

Favorite Accessory: Red Sparkle Knit Infinity Scarf. I have no clue where I got it, I have no clue when I got it, but it is so festive and cozy. Go get a cable knit infinity scarf if you don’t have one already. 

Favorite “Calm Down:” This has been a cup-of-tea-and-read-a-book kind of week. Maybe I’m just over school, I don’t know. But I have been trying to just get cozy for the Winter this week! Sometimes I even light a Christmas candle, too.

What have been your favorites this week?! Have a safe weekend!

Krazy For Kate

Hi Guys. It’s Thursday.

I think most of us can agree that we appreciate pretty things. I am one of those people who just loves looking at said things; I could do it for hours. One of the pretty things I saw this week was this Kate Spade Dress. It’s not even close to functional, and at over $1200, it’s not practical whatsoever, but hey, a girl can dream. I just picture this dress in New York City at the most fabulous New Year’s Eve party! It’s a shame I’m not royal, I could utilize the endless money splendidly. Anything “out there” you guys have been looking at lately?! Have a good day, the weekend is almost here :)

You're The Man, Yurman.

Happy Wednesday, B&B!

I’m a big fan of classic. I think things that never go out of style are necessary, and I don’t mind paying a little bit more for those items. One pice I’ve admired for a while and think will never go out of style are David Yurman Cable bracelets. I’m hoping for one for my graduation present from my parents! I just think there’s something about them that is so timeless. Do any of you have one? Would you purchase again?

When Life Hands You (Lulu) Lemons...

Happy Tuesday, Darlings!

Something I don’t talk about often on the blog is fitness. I am a huge yoga/ running girl, and I love cute yoga/running gear. Naturally, Lululemon is one of my favorite places for gear. I don’t like Lulu because it’s Lulu, I like Lulu because they produce quality products I can rely on. Can you buy cheaper stuff? Absolutely. Will it last as long? Not a chance. 

 

I’ve had my eye on The Mat for a while, and it may be my Christmas gift to myself. 

I also have been dying over the Vinyasa scarf. 10 ways to wear it? Worth it.

In my opinion, no pair of leggings will EVER top Wunder Unders. They just fit so well and last so long. The biggest bonus is that they aren’t see through like so many brands can be. 

The Forme Jacket is one of those things that is probably comparable to any other zip up athletic jacket, but I love cuffins, and they can be hard to find. So once again, Lulu is so worth it. 

Finally, I’ve had my eye on the Atman pant for quite some time. They just look SO cozy. I must obtain. 

Do any of you have Holy Grail items from Lulu of other brands?! Have a great day!

Plaid On The Brain (Literally.)

Happy Monday, Lovelies!

One thing many of you probably don’t know is that i am a hugeeee hat girl. Baseball caps, sun hats, you name it. In the summer, I think Norts, a pocket tee, and a hat is a great look for running errands, and in the winter, a hat with a long sleeve tee, leggings, and a vest can’t be beat. Enter: Vineyard Vines Plaid Baseball Cap. HOW CUTE?! It would make a great gift for a hat fanatic such as myself, or it’s a great pice to add to your collection. I just thought I’d share :) Have a super blessed day!
