Seaside Summer

Seaside Summer

Happy Friday! This weekend I am home with friends for a wedding in Seaside. Seaside is one of my favorite areas on 30A, so if you haven’t visited, I definitely recommend it! The area is filled with colorful houses and restaurants, and perfectly exudes the vibe of a preppy beach town. As a lover of bright colors and fun patterns, it’s only natural that Lilly Pulitzer would be one of my favorite fashion designers. I decided to pair my Lilly Elsa top with white shorts and sandals for an afternoon of shopping and roaming. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Seeing Summer

Seeing Summer

With only one day left until my final exam and one week until my SMU graduation (YAY!), my mind has already switched to summer mode. My summer style is always colorful and casual, which is why J. Crew is my favorite stop for summer staples. These white shorts are a closet must and the perfect fit for any shape! What is your summer style?

Flower Child

Flower Child

I’m really enjoying the comeback of the palazzo pant this Spring. They are like the cool older sibling of those short-lived gaucho pants that arose when I was in high school – like I’ve said before, I’m all about the comfortable clothes!  As one of the most popular styles in the 60’s, printed palazzo pants embody a certain flower child vibe which I absolutely adore. The trick to palazzo pants is all about the length. Make sure to find a pair that skims the ground in wedges or flat sandals. Also, be sure to pair them with a solid, fitted top to avoid looking sloppy. Get the look with these, these, these, or these!

Since I spend nearly every single day of the week dressed up in heels, there’s nothing that feels better than taking the day off to wear something casual and comfy. An oversized hoodie (try this similar one) with my favorite mini backpack was the perfect combination for an afternoon of roaming Dallas. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia, but I’m really loving the backpack comeback – snag this, this, or this if you haven’t found yours already!

PS for GM: Buick LaCrosse

PS for GM: Buick LaCrosse

Out of the three cars my sisters and I tested for GM, I have to admit the Buick LaCrosse was my favorite. Though I had never considered the LaCrosse to be a luxury sedan, I was more than impressed by all of the features in the car. The interior of the car reminded me a lot of Blair’s old CTS with the spacious backseat and overly cushioned leather seats. The car was fully equipped with all of the best amenities. My favorite feature (which definitely took me by surprise) was the way the seats vibrated while I turned or if I was too close to other cars. Talk about keeping you alert! Another feature I loved was the heated steering wheel, which was a huge plus with the polar vortex that hit Dallas recently.

The LaCrosse was equipped with Bose speakers, XM radio, and an iPhone plugin (as well as charger). The driver information display behind the steering wheel made driving easy with all of my controls from cruise control to my favorite playlists right at my fingertips, plus the speed display on my windshield made staying under the speed limit a cinch. Overall, I was very impressed with the Buick LaCrosse. To learn more about about this car, click here.
