Insta Recap

Hello, hello! I hope you've all had a great week. Today is my last day of field hockey camp, which started on Monday and has been an all day occurrence. To say I have an extreme sunburn would be an understatement, and as much fun as I have had I think I'm definitely ready to wrap it up. Today I wanted to share a few of my recent Insta snaps because I hit 200 posts the other day!

I recently purchased the J. Crew Factory scalloped dress and I am in love. I can dress it up or down, as seen here with converse, and I know it will become a summer staple in my closet!

I've been keeping busy this summer with lots of lunches at the country club with friends and hanging out by the pool with my favorite chicken caesar wraps ;)

After a little shopping spree with my dad, I realized I may or may not have overloaded on stripes. Fortunately, stripes never cease to fail me and you can be sure I'll be donning them all summer long.

Aaand, finally! As I mentioned on Instagram, thank you all for supporting my instagram account! I hit 200 posts this week and could not be more excited.

Lilly Pajamas + Mini Room Tour

I'm not usually one to sleep in, but the other day I went to bed at 1 AM after a party and didn't wake up until 11. I had plans to do outfit post pictures with a friend at 10:30 so by the time I woke up my friend was already at my house! Of course it would've taken me a minute to get all of my things together so to start we decided it would be fun to do a mini room tour and a little outfit post combined.

My bed is a replica of this style from PBTeen. My grandpa made it for me for Christmas a few years ago.. he's quite skilled! (Side note: I received my monogrammed pillows as a gift back when I got my first "big kid" bed, they're now my favorite things!)

I love the shelving behind my head because of how convenient it is. I have had multiple experiences where I have knocked over or smacked my hand on a nightstand or things on a nightstand in my sleep (oops!) so this definitely prevents that issue. (Ha, I shattered a lamp once and that was like a month ago)

These old Lilly pajamas of mine are certainly a summer favorite!

I keep my shelves stocked with my favorite pieces; an eclectic mix that encompases all of my favorite things is surely the reason why I sleep so well ;)

What does your room look like?

How I Feel About Partying

I did something weird last weekend.

There was a party downtown on Friday night so some friends and I decided to go. I was feeling uneasy about the situation considering it was the kind of party where all of the people there are those people who you know because you stalk them on Facebook but you've never actually met (please tell me I'm not alone and you all know what I'm talking about...). Honestly, I still have no idea why I actually went.

So basically I went to this party and I was kind of excited because I straightened my hair and I was going to this cool person party and I was with my friends, etc. I got to the party (which ended up being at some event place in an ally... quite interesting I must say) and long story short, everyone was drunk. This party was completely out of control. I don't know if I should be putting this on the internet (my bet is probably not), but I feel like it's a commonly known fact that teenagers will do what they will, and people at this party were definitely doing something alright.

So I'm at this party and my friends and I are kind of huddled up like what is going on this is insane and then finally we decide we have two options: have fun or leave. Obviously I want to have fun. We danced and talked to people we'd heard of but never met, took embarrassing selfies, and had quite a bit of fun.

What I learned on Friday night is that you do not need to be drunk to have a good time. Honestly, it's better when you're not because then you can remember what actually happened and you can have the memories rather than forgetting about everything. I love to have a good time, don't get me wrong, and I can't promise I won't do something crazy every once in a while, but sometimes you've got to je ne sais quoi and have a good time.

Jacks vs. Miller

Hello, hello! Today is the first day of field hockey camp, which goes from today until Thursday everyday from 9 AM to 3 PM. To say it's exhausting would be an understatement, but it surely will whip me into shape and I know I'll have a ton of fun too.

Recently a Nordstrom Rack and Saks off 5th opened here in MKE, but they're actually pretty lame and kind of unfortunate considering the hype that went along with them. The first time I went the stores were nothing short of a disappointment, however, the second time around I was a bit more pleased. I tried on a pair of pink Jack's with gold trim and feel in love, but unfortunately they were a size too big. I've grown tired of my silver Jack's and am eager for another pair, but I can't seem to pull the trigger because I'm contemplating Jack's vs Miller Sandals.

Usually I wear a wide in Jack Rogers but to my surprise, the regular width fits just fine, leading me to think Tory Burch Miller sandals are a possibility.

So tell me... Which would you choose?

Seersucker for Summer

wedges (similar here and here (on sale!)) // clutch // dress (similar)

I had this dress custom made for my eighth grade graduation, but somehow the measurements were off and it hasn't fit just right until now! I love the classic blue seersucker and the fun ruffle, which make the dress a perfect summer frock. 

On another note, I think I learned a little lesson about lighting when shooting outfit pics. Brightest time of day, aka 1-2 in the afternoon, is not the best option. I'm squinting a ton and look extremely washed out. Oops, at least now I know!

Happy June!
