Rainy Days Call For A Little Lilly

Hey y'all,

I realized I have yet to share with y'all any more outfit photos from my adventure with Allison back in November! I have a go to outfit for work on rainy days and while today is really gross outside I almost wore this exact outfit to work. I always like to mix bright colors in on a dreary day to cheer myself up, I mean life is colorful even in a stormy gray day.

My current go to work bag is the Flicker Sophie from Kate Spade New York (sold out) but I am loving this Michael Kors one and this blush Kate Spade tote.

Top: Old Navy (old)/Pants: Target/ Shoes: Ralph Lauren Amarissa Flats (old)/ Scarf: Lilly Pulitzer Murfee Scarf in Fiesta Pink Spring Fling/ Monogram Necklace: ElizaJay Charm/ Watch: Anne Klein (old)/ Bangles: KSNY bridesmaid idiom & this is the year (2012 version this years can be found here) idiom

I hope y'all have a nice (dry) day! Do you have a go to rainy day outfit? 

Here's my OOTD today:

Tuesday Trend: Pullovers (and winner)

Hey y'all,

Last week I received my Patagonia Re-Tool Snap-T pullover in the mail and I am in love. I have been wanting one for forever, and finally there was a sale on clearance plus coupon action. I am now obsessed and am already planning my next purchase! I think Pullovers are perfect in the spring and fall for those cool mornings and evenings (and the past week when it has been yucky, cold, and misting) so here are a few options I am loving right now to add some more pullovers to my closet.

Also, Congrats to Rebecca E. for winning my Blog-o-versary giveaway!

HAPPY BLOG-O-VERSARY GIVEAWAY!

Hey y'all,

Today is my little blog's one year anniversary. It is so strange to think that a year ago I decided to start all over again in the blog world from a catalog of my senior year at Carolina to a post-grad's life. In the past year I started this blog, graduated from UNC, spent the summer at home/the beach, got a job at Carolina, moved, got a great-grandlittle, turned 23 years old, and bought a car!

Monograms Monograms Everywhere

Sorority Chat Saturday: Big/Little Day Themes

Now to celebrate y'all following along for the past year I thought it was time for a giveaway! I don't know about you but I love bows and beautiful paper options so when Crystal Faye's online shop began to sell beautiful monogrammed bows and this pretty noteset I knew it was the perfect prize!

April Showers

Hey y'all,

It's the last day of April and I can officially say that North Carolina has not had a month of continuous rain, but Sunday and Monday were filled with some wet weather. However, during the past few rain storms I have seriously contemplated the need of the current trend of a monogrammed rain coat so I thought I would share five options I am eyeing right now....
