Meet My Dog!


Hey guys - just a quick post. My dog, Mollee, is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is currently 5 years old (I know, she still looks like a puppy), but I though I would just share her with you all! Here are some pictures of her;

Top 10 Preppy Essentials for Summer 2015

I absolutely love the preppy look for summer!! There are many preppy trends around, but here is the list that I see to be the most essential for this summer;

1. Preppy Baseball Caps - Whether it's monogrammed (always love a good monogram!), from vineyard vines, sopro, etc., baseball caps are a MUST for summer! They keep the wind out of your face, while looking super cute!!

2. J.Crew Chino Shorts - These are my go-to shorts for summer! They come in all sorts of colors (but my fav at the moment would have to be the color "Nantucket Red"!!) They are easy to pull on, cute, and comfortable!

3. Jack Rogers -  Also one of my go-to sandals! The sandals are very cute and come in all different colors and styles! They come in flats and heels for occasions - which is a plus! My only problem with these is that they hurt my feet when breaking them in, but most sandals and flats do. But, they pain goes away because I wear them so often!!

4. Ray Bans - I know Ray Bans are expensive, I actually don't have any myself, but I think any sunglasses are essential for summer. I bought a pair of the Ray Ban Clubmaster look-a-likes at Old Navy, and I wear them almost every day! I never bought a pair of Ray Bans because I always lose, breaks, or even crack my sunglasses, so I though it was beest for me to just use cheap ones.

5. Boat Shoes - My favorite boat shoes are from Sperry Top Sider, but I found ones from Kiel James Patrick that I want to try out. Boat shoes are essential when going on boats - obviously - but I like to wear them with many outfits. They just about go with everything.

6. Preppy T-Shirts - Tee shirts are easy to throw on when you're in a rush, at the pool, running errands, lounging around, and much more! My favorite are from Vineyard Vines, Lauren James, the Frat Collection, Southern Proper, and my most recent find - Ivory Ella. Short sleeved shirts are better for during the day, and I use the long sleeved ones during those chilly nights by the fire.

7. Croakies - I, personally, hate when I have to put my sunglasses on my shirt or on my head because they always fall off or get stuck in my hair. Croakies are a solution to this, and they look freakin  cute!! My favorite brand of croakies would have to be Lilly Pulitzer.

8. Monogram Necklace - This simple, but meaningful, cute necklace is definetly an essential! I love monograms and this is a perfect way of sneaking one into your everyday outfit! My favorite color for the summer is the gold necklace, but silver one is also really cute!!

9. Longchamp Bag - This bag is perfect for carrying all of your needs! It's "roomy" but also very cute! I see people getting their lonchamp bags monogrammed and I think that is a very good idea! My faavorite color of the longchamp bag is the navy blue with the brown handle.

10. Anything with pearls! - I love pearl earrings, bracelets, necklaces, you name it! I actually just purchased these sandals that have [fake] pearls all over them and they are my favorite sandals at the moment! The company "Kiel James Patrick" actually have a BUNCH of jewelry involving pearls, and everything is just GORGEOUS. I'm thinking of buying some jewelry from them soon. I just adore pearls, and they are one of my biggest essentials for summer!

These are my Top 10 preppy essentials for summer!! I hope these gave you some inspiration for your style or opened you up to new products and companies!!!
