Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week! I just finished my 3rd week of school and i'm so excited for fall! The 1st few weeks of school my outfits were pretty fancy but now that all the tests, homework, and projects have started the comfy clothes have come out! My go to comfy casual outfit is typically a preppy t-shirt, norts (Nike shorts) or leggings, and Chacos! My school has recently become pretty strict about dress code but thankfully my Nike shorts are long enough! I had one of my friends over yesterday after school and we had similar outfits so we had to do a photo shoot! I know Chacos are not for everyone but they have to be the most comfortable shoes I own!

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for reading! xo, Gracie

 Hi everyone! Today my sister and I wanted to show ya'll some of our Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale purchases that we wore today! My sister's name is Lillie and she's in 7th grade and yes I known we kinda look like twins! This was the 1st shipment we received from The Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale and we couldn't be more excited! I ended up giving my sister her gift early because she had been nagging about it ever since I told her we got her something from the sale. I got the Cala Skort in Hotty Pink Get Crackin and she got the Little Lowe Peplum Dress in Pb Pink Shes A Fox! I honestly was as excited about her new dress as she was! My Floppy hat was actually such a great deal and it was less than $15 including the monogram! It was from Viv and Lou and I will definitely be purchasing more things from them! I'm so excited to get the rest of my After Party Sale Lilly items!
What did ya'll get from the sale?

Enjoy!

As many of you know today was the 1st day of the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. This sale also used to be called The End of Summer Sale. This is one of only 2 times a year Lilly goes on sale online, the other being, The New Year Cheers Sale. The best time to shop these sales is within the first 10 minutes because things sell out FAST! I ended up missing school for it and I'm glad I did! This sale lasts 3 days from August 18th to August 20th. 

These Sales have reputations of the site crashing however thankfully this year I personally had no problems with this. The only regret I have is not buying more things quick because if it is in your cart that doesn't mean anything. I had 2 or 3 things that evaporated out of my cart this year. I always say fall is a great time to get Lilly on sale so even if you don't buy anything now, most Lilly Pulitzer, Lilly Signature Stores, and department stores that carry Lilly always have it on sale in the fall and winter. 

Here are most of my purchases from The After Party Sale! 

It was only $39 originally $68

It was only $19 originally $68

I got one more thing as a gift for my sister but she reads the blog so ya'll won't see it until September!

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing a Jack Rogers Collab with http://simplypreppyy.blogspot.com/ or @simply.preppy on instagram and we are so excited to share how we style our Jack Rogers! 

I just finished my 1st week of school yesterday! I ended up wearing Jack Rogers every day this week because they are just do comfortable and stylish! They really are my summer go to shoe. You can always get them on sale so I would recommend that you not pay full price. I got the navyish pair for around $35 and the platinum for under $50. 

Peplum Top: Ann Taylor // Shorts: Vineyard Vines (similar) // Shoes: Jack Rogers

Yay! It's finally August 1st which means today is the 1st day of using my new Lilly Pulitzer Agenda! This year I decided to downsize to the small agenda because I really didn't need all the space the large one had to offer! It took me a few weeks to decide which print I want because all of them are so cute! This year I went with Jellies Be Jammin and I couldn't be happier! I ended up buying it on National Wear Your Lilly Day because it came with a necklace gift with purchase. 

Tip#4

During the middle of the school year or just life in general can get very hectic and overwhelming so write down a motivational quote or a bible verse to help you realize its going to be okay. It helps me put things into perspective and realize I have nothing to worry or stress about!

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." ~1 Peter 5:7
