Colorblock Maxi Dress

Hi Friends! Let's talk about color blocking-specifically color block dresses. Lately, I have been OBSESSED with color-blocked dresses. I styled this beauty over the weekend and I love the peach, orange, and Fuschia pink colors. This exact dress is unavailable, however, I will link similar ones and some favorites for you here, here, here and here. Thank you for stopping by my sunny little blog.🌞

Black, White and Lilly

My style is Chic with a preppy lean and colorful; however, I love black! So today's post will be how I style my black Lilly for cooler weather and in a more chic way. My Black and White skirt is actually a matching set from Lilly. It's still available in some sizes and I'll link it for you long with similar skirt styles. All of the other exact outfits will be linked to you as well.

Lilly Skirt Set/ Similar skirt / This is my favorite Hat. I wear it all of the time and I'm actually in need of a new one. LOL! This top is actually a bodysuit, I sized up due to my naturally larger bust and wide shoulders. I do recommend sizing up if you have a larger bust. The gold tote is from Lilly and might still be available in stores, but here's a similar one.

Weekend Favorites: Boat Ride

Hi Friends,
Thanks for stopping by and reading my latest Weekend Favorites blogpost. My Mom and I have been wanting to go on a boat tour through historic St. Augustine for a few months now; but it always seemed as though it would be booked extremely quickly. So we were happy to able to grab a couple seats for the sunset tour through the Intercoastal water way and up through the Atlantic Ocean.   Sooooo gorgeous!!!!! The boat ride was so wonderful and so were our boat tour guides. They shared lots of landmark history (some which we already knew. We go to St. Augustine alot) and the wind off the water was so perfect too. I put on a cozy sweater over my favorite Lilly maxi dress. BTW this dress is still available so grab it before its gone.

A Day in New Smyrna Beach

Hi Friends! So I started my vacation off the right way- at the Beach! While the rest of the world may be getting cooler fall weather. It's still flaming hot here in my home state. Although I've been trying to dress in more of my darker Lilly clothing. If you've been wearing Lilly for a while you might remember this print and maxi. I wore it today at one of my favorite beaches-New Smyrna. I am not kidding when I say that everyone loved this dress and made so many comments about it. Its one of my favorites and I bought it a couple seasons back during the APS. I had a great and relaxing day eating healthy foods, walking along the beach, taking lots of pictures on my camera, and going to the cutest acai/smoothie shop ever. Thank you so much for stopping by. Oh, and btw this blog post marks my 100th blogpost on my blog!!!! wooohoo!

My favorite things in this picture: A light lavender building, Purple flowers, and dolphins.

Lilly Pulitzer APS Tips and Giveaway

Hi Friends, Thank you so much for stopping by my little colorful blog. You may all know by now that the Lilly After Party sale is launching this weekend in stores and Monday and Tuesday online. I have been a Lilly shopper for a few years now. I love the sale they have twice a year in the summer and winter. Here are my top three tips for shopping the sale.
1. Create an account today (the sooner the better) so that your credit card info is all ready to go for checkout.
2. Have a specific name list of what you want- so that you can head right to it.
3. Remember there will be a virtual line, so please do not refresh your page you will be put at the back of the virtual line. And no one likes being number 202867390 in the best sale of the year.

Now, for my wishlist. I'm hoping to get the Elyssa cardigan wrap in Navy and Onyx. My favorite cozy cardigan. I already have the tinted paradise, it's so soft and comfy.
A new dress, a new bag, and McKim wedges. What's on your wish list? I'd love to know and maybe we could help each other out.
In celebration of the sale. I've teamed up with other Lilly loving bloggers for a generous Lilly Pulitzer gift card giveaway to shop during the sale. Head over to my Instagram for all of the details.

Below are some shots of my favorite new dress that recently bought. This print probably won't be apart of the sale but I wanted to share with you all. Thank you for stopping by and happy shopping!!!!

A beautiful day in St.Augustine

   I had the most wonderful day in St.Augustine. The weather could not have been more perfect, it was clear and breezy and the perfect temperature before staying outside all day. I arrived at the beach in time enough to see the sunrise and shining brightly.  Afterward, I took a long stroll to meditate and relax mentally and to just look at the water and not rush. I like to collect shells. so I did a little shell collecting and took my sweet little time. There's this coffee shop right across from the beach, they also have two other locations, called Kookaburra they have the best coffee so far that I have found in St. Augustine. I went to the location on Cathedral street by Flagler college. I highly recommend the honey badger with cinnamon (my favorite) honey obviously and vanilla. It's pure deliciousness. Most of the time I relaxed and of course took pictures because I love photography. I actually had someone asked me if was a photographer. LOL. Today was so beautiful and feel so blessed to live in such a gorgeous state. Below are just some photos that I took along the way in one of my favorite maxi dresses that I bought last year from Dillard's I always and did compliments on the dress. The navy background compliments the brightly colored floral print. I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

The oldest wooden school.

A friendly midday reminder for myself.

Goodnight!

Amethyst Sweater

           We have been having some cold weather here in Florida. Which makes me all kinds of happy because I get to layer up and wear pretty sweaters. And speaking of sweaters- I recently bought this Amethyst colored sweater from Lilly Pulitzer ( it also comes in a bright pink).  My favorite color is purple so this color was perfect for me. Its on the lighter side, so its perfect for cooler days.

I paired mine with a neutral colored skirt, knitted hat and my new favorite Tory Burch ballet flats that have a cute bow on top. And they're also Amethyst colored. 

In Florida you can get a way with wearing colorful, yet warm clothes. 

I love taking pictures near the water and I love these colorful buildings. Thanks so much for stopping by and reading.
