Casual Class

The choice to scrub or not to scrub... That is the question. 

You can go with a monogrammed fleece (or 1/4 zip) and still look classy. There are many days I don't want to move, yet need to look semi presentable. OR, you wear the very appropriate and very cute cardie. They come in 100s of colors and you can never go wrong with one!


Then there is the norts vs chino shorts debate. Norts are extremely comfortable, cute, and come in more colors than known to man! But then, so do chino shorts (especially from J.Crew). There are so many possibilities!!!


Ok. Now on to shoes. Nike Free Runs vs Jacks. A hard debate. Both can be designed by the individual. Both are incredibly comfortable. Both look good with norts. But, one lends itself to a more sporty ego, while the other is more of a preppy staple.

Bows!

Y'all. I am OBSESSED with hair bows. I make my own and it's the best thing since sliced bread (thank you Pinterest!) I cannot stress enough the importance of this accessory. They make or break the femininity of an outfit. They act to keep the hair out of the eyes. And let's be honest, they're cute as a button! There are so many kinds from pinwheel to cheerleader to the basic folded hair bow.

Ok y'all. I love, love, LOVE the beach. Growing up in Michigan, every summer my family would go to our cottage at Lake Michigan (which has one of the nicest beaches in the world). Seriously. I cannot wait to go back this summer.

A few essentials to survive a day of sand, sun, and sea are bandeau bikini (avoiding tan lines at ALL costs), a monogrammed floppy derby hat, some cute flip flops, and a study beach bag (to fit sunscreen, a novel, a iPod, drinks, etc.)

Dorm Pt. 1

So, I got my bedding for college! It's Pottery Barn black and white geometric comforter, with lime green sheets (and my hot pink monogram on everything obviously), a hot pink fleece, and a monogrammed throw pillow (pink and green)...

I'm back y'all

Hey everyone! So sorry I've been AWOL. I think I'm going to focus on this blog from now on. So, it's official! I'm an SMU Mustang! I leave cold and ever depressing Michigan in exactly 43 days. How crazy is that?! I can't wait. I love the South. I love southern living. I love the culture. I love Texas. I love Dallas. I love my school.

Anyway... I'm working full time at the pool. Not super exciting, but it's a job nonetheless. Funny enough, my paycheck has inadvertently had a percentage taken out of it for shopping (Lilly P has my soul. No joke). I have a problem. Lilly and monograms all the way. I just sent out about 6+ things to be monogrammed. Pictures to come.

My family from Chantilly came in town and we had a lunch date. It was lovely. Picture of me in my new (and soon to be monogrammed) derby hat, below.

 Love always,  Savannah
