Celebrating!

I have been so excited about law school and last night we went out to celebrate. 

Right before dinner at the yard house! 

Then today we took a boat ride on the intercoastal to West Palm and Peanut Island. My sister is visiting and brought her dog too, so we all had a great time on the boat!

Lane loved the boat!

Puppies in Sunnies!

Big Things

BIG things are happening for me right now. I just found out yesterday that I got into Regent University School of Law. I am beyond excited to start this new chapter in my life!

Isn't it beautiful? The idea of starting in just a few months has gotten me thinking about what I'll need to be prepared for classes and long study nights. Here are some of my back to school favorites, which I think are appropriate for anyone going back to school this year! 

Tote Bag

The Cole Haan tote bag looks both spacious and cute! I have definitely always preferred to use a tote bag for carrying around books or my computer and this bag fits the bill. I love that the colors will transition well from summer (I start at the end of July!) to fall. 

Ear Buds

These have to be the cutest ear buds I have ever seen. I love how colorful they are! I will definitely be using these while in the library studying to keep me focused. 

Desk Caddy

I love everything from See Jane Work. Having pretty things on my desk not only makes me feel more put together but it encourages me to stay organized. 

Luckily I have plenty of time to get myself organized with school/studying supplies. Does anyone have any suggestions for an awesome planner? 

Happy Memorial Day!

Lane and I got festive for Memorial Day (wearing Lilly of course)! I am so thankful to those that are serving and have served...truly something to celebrate!

What did you all do to celebrate Memorial Day?

Currently Obsessed...

It's Sunday again and time for another "Currently Obsessed"! 

(Clockwise from top left)

1. Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Balm- I got this sample in this month's birchbox (I can't wait to share my next one with everybody!) and I'm seriously obsessed. It is tinted enough to add a little something but it is very subtle for a girl like me that doesn't normally wear any lip products. Plus it makes my lips super soft and smells pretty!

2. Williams-Sonoma Kitchenware- I spotted these blue kitchen tools last time I was in the store and I couldn't pass them up! As i said before, my dream kitchen is blue and yellow, so these will blend perfectly. I love the different shades of blue. I also have a matching WS apron! 

3. Maroon and Orange Jack Rogers- I was SO excited when these came in the mail. Orange and Maroon are my school colors and I can't wait to wear these for football games in the fall!

4. The Cruisey- This is by far my most exciting find in a while. A coozie attached to a long set of croakies? I can't even try to resist! I used mine in the pool this weekend and can't wait to try it out on the boat.

5. Fine By Me (by Andy Grammer)- Ever since I heard this song a few weeks ago I have been playing it on repeat. I love listening to it in the car on my way to work in the morning to put me in a good mood. 

What are you obsessed with this week? 

Perfect Summer Tunes

With Memorial Day just around the corner, summer is "officially" about to start (although it has been summer here in south Florida since well....forever). I decided it was time to start working on a go-to summer playlist. Once the weather gets hot, beach days are a common occurrence, dining al fresco is a must, and life moves outside. I've created a pretty mellow summery mix that I think fits the season just right!

1. Banana Pancakes- Jack Johnson

2. In the Summertime- Mungo Jerry

3. Build Me Up Buttercup- The Foundations

4. Knee Deep- Zac Brown Band

5. Wasting Time- Jack Johnson

6. Learning to Fly- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

7. Amber- 311

8. No Rain- Blind Melon

9. Born and Raised (Reprise)- John Mayer

10. Wildflowers- Tom Petty

11. American Honey- Lady Antebellum

12. Never Let You Go- Third Eye Blnd

13. Pura Vida- Braddigan

14. Stay (Wasting Time)- Dave Matthews Band

15. One Headlight- The Wallflowers

Does anyone else have any summer music favorites? 

Made with love

Not too long ago I found this recipe box at TJ Maxx and I have been busy copying my favorite recipes from my mom. The problem? I've run out of the recipe cards that came with the box! Instead of using boring old note cards, I turned to etsy for some ideas. 

Here are some of my favorites:

Sweet Southern Recipe Card Set

I would customize these to match the recipe box (my dream kitchen is blue and yellow!) but I love that they have plenty of room to write. The measuring spoon detail is too cute. 

Anchors Aweigh Recipe Cards

I already love the colors and the nautical theme of these cards. They are definitely different than any other recipe card I've ever seen with the anchor cutout.

Stand Mixer Recipe Cards

I have a cornflower blue (monogrammed!) kitchenaid mixer that perfectly matches the stand mixer graphic on these cards. So cute! I'm warming up to the idea of a printable set of cards because I can print them over and over and never run out! 

Which is your favorite? Does anyone else use pretty recipe cards? 

Puppies and Bowties

I'm totally in love with Southern Proper bowties and since I can't really wear them myself, buying them for Lane to wear is the next best thing. Seriously, how cute is she? I'm dying to get her a light blue botton blosson bowtie next to match my belle band!
