I have found myself dressing down at least one a week due to the late nights of homework and studying as my sophomore year has started. These are the most comfortable shoes and I love to wear them with leggings or norts! 

3. Lilly Pulitzer Pumpkins

4. "He reached down from on high and he took hold of me: he drew me out of the deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." -Psalm 18:16-19 

My counselor from camp this year talked about this verse and its been on my heart ever since.

he rescued me because he delighted in me

(just let that sink in)

God loves us and will always be for us! Even on our worst days and when we fail he will be there and rescue us and pick us back up because he delights in us!

Hi everyone! 

Today i'm doing a tutorial on how to make these adorable Lilly Pulitzer Pumpkins! They are super easy to make and they add a touch of Lilly to fall! These are great for mixing up the orange and black with some patterns and colors! 

Pick your favorite print and read these instructions and you will be on your way to making one of these Lilly Pulitzer Pumpkins!

You will need:

1. Cut your printed paper into strips (I used 5 sheets of this paper to cover the whole pumpkin)

2. Cover your pumpkin in a ton of Mod Podge

ps: Put something down when you do this, it can get messy!

3. Place your Lilly Pulitzer paper strips onto your pumpkin

4. Smooth the paper down with your hands

5. Paint your whole pumpkin down with Mod Podge (don't worry it dries clear)

6. (optional) Add a bow or monogram 

Please feel free to comment if you need any help!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week! I have been loving the pom pom trend recently and picked up this adorable top from Marshals! It's still hot here in Georgia but I'm so excited for fall! I'm still loving these Kendra Scott Elle earrings that I got from the Nordstrom sale a while back and can't wait to start wearing them with vests!

Enjoy!

If you can dream it, you can do it! -Walt Disney

I sure hope so! I am so thankful for everything I have been blessed with but if I had some spare change, after spending it at Disney World (If you didn't already know I am also a huge Disney lover), these would be next purchases! I probably will only get 1 or 2 of these by next fall through sales but I can dream right? Most of these items are pretty typical of a Southern Belle (#basic) but I am one so I automatically fell in love with all of them!

Hi everyone! Today is September 10th, my half birthday (which I don't really celebrate) however I have some adorable pictures from my birthday party last year and I thought now would be the perfect time to share them!

I loved how this cake turned out! Surprisingly enough we got it from Publix and they did an Amazing job!

I also got whaley good petit fours with the Vineyard Vines whale on them!
