Small Southern Hometown
There is nothing quite like growing up in a small, Southern tourist town.

Anthropologie Top
One store that I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about, but never once been in, is Anthropologie. Well I broke my Anthro virginity over this past weekend and shopped their sale. I’m in love with this store now, y’all. It could turn out to be one expensive addiction, but I think it will totally be worth it. I discovered this beautiful Vineet Bahl top on the … Continue reading Anthropologie Top
Photo Diary: FedEx St. Jude Classic Golf Tournament (VIP, Brooks Brothers, Phil Mickelson, & more!)
It’s an annual tradition in my household that my dad and I rise and shine early one morning in mid-June and drive with our friend Rex to the FedEx St. Jude Classic golf tournament in Memphis for the day. We’ve been going to this tournament for as long as I can remember and it’s always an adventure. We usually cruise in and out of the … Continue reading Photo Diary: FedEx St. Jude Classic Golf Tournament (VIP, Brooks Brothers, Phil Mickelson, & more!)
A Day at the Lake
Arkansans are notorious lake bums. With our numerous lakes and resorts, there’s rarely a weekend in the spring and summer months that we aren’t somewhere in the state on the water. Colton’s family loves to camp on Lake De Gray so I spent part of the Memorial Day weekend with them on the water. What Colton didn’t know about was my utter disdain for camping … Continue reading A Day at the Lake
A Surprise Dinner Party
There’s nothing I love more than spoiling my boyfriend. So when the opportunity arose to surprise him with a beautifully-decorated, home-cooked dinner, I jumped at it! Colton has worked so hard the past few months and spoiled me rotten. It’s about time I did something for him. I cooked basil chicken from a recipe in my church’s cookbook (chicken breasts rolled with goat cheese and … Continue reading A Surprise Dinner Party

Lilly for Target Haul
Get ready for a long post, y’all. Some called it their dream come true. Some called it the worst day of their lives. Some even called it the Lilly Hunger Games. All I know is Lilly for Target was a personal success. Sort of. Like any normal Lilly girl, I work up at 5:30 a.m., showered and dressed in my brand new Lilly Pulitzer Scalloped … Continue reading Lilly for Target Haul
Link to the Past
I had someone ask me a little while ago where I bought the ring I always wear on my right middle finger. Well, it was my late grandmother Dugan’s engagement ring. Last summer, I went rummaging through my mom’s numerous jewelry boxes and found the dainty diamond and gold ring. I asked her about it and she told me it’s origin. I never knew my … Continue reading Link to the Past
The New Classic
Stripes, leopard, and pearls. Oh my! The new classic is an expert combination of preppy elements to create a clean yet trendy outfit. The weather is finally cooperating with my wish to sport some of my favorite spring looks so I dragged out a striped J.Crew shirt and my leopard flats. It should be noted that this is the first time I’ve worn flats to work. Ever. What can I say? … Continue reading The New Classic
