style: i love jewelry

The Southern girl in me loves a good monogram. Is it really yours if it isn't monogrammed? Haha, but seriously, I love monograms. When I first got married, seeing my new initials just made me even more excited about being married. As cheesy as it sounds, I loved getting a new last name and sharing a name with my husband. I think monograms are the perfect gift for a bride or anyone!



My new favorite place to get all of my personalized items is I Love Jewelry. Everything on their website is so stinkin' adorable at amazing prices. I had too much fun shopping their site.

My first pick was this 1.25 lace monogrammed necklace. I have always wanted a necklace like this because it's so classic and goes with everything. I paired mine with a swing dress, wedges, and a bright purse. I've also worn it a few times with a t-shirt to work at summer camp. It's such a versatile piece.

My next pick was this monogram crossbody tassel bag. The color and big, bold tassel caught my eye right away. I also love this style of monogram. I've seen it on more expensive, designer bags but this adorable little bag is much more affordable. It's now my go-to bag! It adds the perfect pop of color to any outfit.

My last pick were these monogram denim pom pom shorts. And how fun are they?! I couldn't resist the cute little pom poms and embroidered trim.

Be sure to follow I Love Jewelry for more affordable and adorable monogrammed items.

So do y'all remember that Lilly for Target collaboration back in April? Well, I definitely do. I had never owned anything Lilly Pulitzer but of course I loved the bright, bold colors and patterns. I wanted to get a few pieces at a great price so I literally stayed up until 4 am. I had to be at church the next day at 7 am so going to the store to camp out wasn't an option. 

I think the idea behind this collaboration was to get girls hooked on Lilly. Give them a taste of the beautiful colors and they'll be Lilly Pulitzer retail customers for life. I got a swimsuit, wedges, a tote bag, and a beautiful shift dress. I loved everything and I thought the quality was great. Last month, I got my hands on my first Lilly retail piece and now I'm obsessed. The color, the quality, and the style is just too perfect. 

These Let's Cha Cha Callahan Shorts are one of my latest Lilly purchases. They have a 5 inch inseam and are completely mommy friendly while still looking adorable. So comfortable and they don't ride up. Win. I love Lilly.

Have I mentioned that I love dressing for spring and summer?! Bright colors and bold patterns are my favorite. Every fall I say that I'm not going to keep the brightness going but I am seem to gravitate back towards navy, brown, and other neutrals. Pledging now to get the pops of bright coming during the cold season too because nothing could beat the winter blues better than hot pink. Right?
