Fashion Week Favorites: Kate Spade and Tory Burch Collections
Hey y’all! It’s September, the spring/summer fashion month of the year! I absolutely love watching all the runway shows and seeing all the new trends and outfits that are debuted during fashion week. I had originally planned to cover the whole week in a sort of day by day recap of what I loved the most that day, but that did not work out. One day, I hope to attend fashion week and be able to cover it all on my own. However, I am currently in college so I have to rely on magazine recaps and videos, and keeping up with fashion week and exam week was just not…

How to Style White Pants After Labor Day + Where this “rule” Originated in the First Place!
What do you mean I cannot wear white after labor day? I just bought these pants!? Where did this rule even come from!?! Based on my research from People Magazine and Charlotte Willis’s post on News.co.au , this rule is ancient (and therefore irrelevant in 2017???). According to Charlotte Willis, this rule started in the early 1900s. You know, when women were only expected to be house wives and discrimination still existed? Not in 2017, with the world as accepting of differences as it currently is. Anyways, wearing white meant a lot back in those days. Willis states that wearing white not only signified that you were wealthy, but that you…

What to Wear for Homecoming Court!
Oh how I wish I could go back to high school just to redo my Homecoming Court outfit. Being a part of homecoming court gives you the opportunity to wear a unique outfit that you would not normally wear, and I did not take enough advantage of this opportunity. Traditionally, girls would wear a nice skirt, top, and jacket with heels or wedges and possibly tights. Oooh! Maybe like something you would wear to a holiday party! That is what those on Homecoming Court traditionally wore, and what I am choosing to focus the most on, but I know that many schools do not have specific requirements for the girls…

Perfect Summer to Fall Transition Outfits
If you closely follow along on the blog, then you may have seen this look before. You also probably know that I have an obsession with this Lilly Pulitzer Two Piece. The reason I love it so much is that it can be worn SO many different ways! Also, the colors in it are perfect for transitioning into the fall! Here I am styling the top from this set with a suede button skirt and my all time favorite Steve Madden wedges. Styled like this, this look is perfect for warmer autumn days because even though you are wearing a crop top and skirt, the colors and fabrics look more…

Summer 2017 Recap!
Now that college football has begun and the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale has ended: summer is officially over. I figured it was about time to recap my transition summer from high school to college! Now that I am trying to capture all of my summer memories, I am realizing that the summer flew by! As always, I taught tennis lessons at my local recreational center every morning, so almost every summer day had some dedicated time on the courts. I also blogged A LOT. Like a new post every day and hours of photoshoots every week a lot. And honestly, it was so beneficial. The blog grew a lot and…

New York Fashion Week Fall 2017 Desigual Show Thoughts
As my fellow fashion lovers probably know, New York Fashion Week started Thursday! It is a dream of mine to one day attend NYFW, but for now I have been watching the Live Stream videos that are posted on NYFW’s website and app! I originally was planning to do a recap on everything I saw today, but once I watched the Desigual Show, I knew I had to focus on it. I will discuss the trends I have seen throughout NYFW and share my overall favorites at the end of the week! Thoughts on the Desigual Show: If you have not watched this, you absolutely NEED to. This was by…

Future Goals & Looking Back on what I have Accomplished!
It’s funny, I started writing this post over six months ago and it is crazy how much I had to change when editing it. How many of my goals I had accomplished, such as my goal of becoming a Jadelynn Brooke College Rep, and how many of my goal had just changed in general. When I originally drafted this blog post, I wrote that I might start a YouTube channel after I graduated college. I started my YouTube this passed July. I wrote that I hoped to have 5,000 Instagram followers at the end of my freshman year at NC State, I currently have almost 4,200 an 5,000 is my…

How to Style Birkenstocks
Whenever I was considering purchasing Birks, I was hesitant because I did not know how I would style them or if they would match many of my outfits. There were a few outfits that I could definitely see myself wearing Birkenstocks with, like these: Babydoll Top Hollister Jeans Lace Up Top But those are only two outfits out of my entire closet, which is no where near a large enough statistic to justify purchasing a pair of $100 shoes. So I took a look at my closet and thought harder about the outfits I could pair Birkenstocks with. I soon realized that Birkenstocks are the perfect shoe to pair with…

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Tips and Tricks + What I have Purchased in Past Years and the Price of those Pieces!
The APS sale should be coming up any day now since we are in the early days of September! Rumor has it that the sale will be the 10th! The APS is an exciting “holiday” for us Lilly lovers that occurs twice a year where items can be found for up to 70% off! One thing to note is that once you arrive on the Lilly Pulitzer website at 8:00am you will be placed in a virtual line that will state how many people are in front of you and how long it should be before you are able to enter the site. In my experience, this time is typically…

10 Ways to Grow Blog Traffic
1. Have an Instagram for your Blog: Or you can start out with an Instagram and work your way towards a blog, like I did. Instagram is just a good way to connect with other bloggers and create a loyal following. Instagram is also a great way for brands to see your account and possibly decide to contact you to work with them! I would say that in general, Instagram is the most powerful tool for bloggers- even if it is not the platform that brings the most traffic to their actual blog website! Instagram has so many other valuable tools and ways to connect with your followers that you…
