Bright colors and patterns are what I gravitate towards when shopping, so of course this yellow printed Lilly Pulitzer tank found its way into my closet this summer. Yellow is such a fun and happy color, so what better way to start my day off with positive vibes than with this vibrant preppy tank I found this summer at Barefoot Princess! I paired this top with my favorite lace Lilly shorts, which have become such an easy and feminine alternative to my classic J Crew shorts. See how I styled my Lilly look and shop the links below to steal my style!

Rompers are one of my favorite looks for the summer, as they are so easy and comfortable for casual afternoons. I am loving this new Lilly Pulitzer printed romper I picked up at Barefoot Princess in Watercolor recently. The blue print is so cheery, and pairing it with my hot pink Reed Krakoff bag added a fun pop of color to brighten up my day.

Dinner at Nanea
Wearing: Milly (sale)
Over the past three weeks, I have been enjoying an amazing final summer vacation before beginning the “real world” next Monday with my new career. Mid-June, I left Destin, FL to visit my boyfriend in Los Gatos, CA. While visiting him, we traveled up to Lake Tahoe and to Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Lake Tahoe
We spent a long weekend at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe for a friends wedding weekend. We stayed on the North Shore and it was an amazing experience. We spent our free time primarily relaxing at the Ritz spa, doing some light hiking, and playing lawn games. As for the wedding, we went to Lahontan the night before the wedding for a cocktail party. After being in hot Dallas and Florida, it was nice to feel the cool air while standing by the fire. The following day, we went to West Shore Café and Inn where the wedding and the reception was held. The venue was on the water and was absolutely gorgeous!

Kukio
Following Lake Tahoe, we had a quick stopover in my boyfriend’s hometown of Los Gatos, CA before we headed to Kukio on the Big Island of Hawaii. Since I had never been to the Big Island before, I was excited to see what it was like. Kevin’s family goes to the island often, so they planned such a fun variety of activities and excursions for me to soak in as much culture of the island as possible! Two of my highlights from the trip were a helicopter tour of the island and snorkeling with the manta rays. The three hour helicopter tour (that picked us up directly from the resort) was a great way to see the volcanoes, valleys, beaches, and waterfalls all before lunch. Snorkling with the manta ray’s was also amazing! We saw about 20 manta rays and rubbed bellies with a couple of them… definitely an experience I will not forget. I also loved all of the activities offered at the resort. While there, I paddle boarded, kayaked, swam with the dolphins, played golf, tennis, and took a spinning class. There was never an excuse to be bored at Kukio!

One of the easiest ways to complete a look is to toss on a blazer. It’s effortless, but gives just the touch needed to make an outfit appear put-together. We are loving these colorful blazers we found at Milk & Honey. The light and comfortable fabric is the perfect weight for a cool summer day. Blair paired her blazer with a t-shirt dress, Lilly scarf, and a pair of wedges for a feminine and preppy look. Ellen wore hers with her new favorite acid-wash cutoffs, gray tee, and booties for an edgier look. We love pieces that can be styled in multiple ways for any occasion, so this blazer is definitely a must for us! Visit Milk & Honey to shop our looks!

As most of you know by now, I’m enjoying my last summer down here on the Florida panhandle before starting the full-time corporate world. One of our favorite roads is 30A, because it’s full of cute beach towns like Watercolor, Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Grayton, and Alys Beach! If you haven’t spent time on the Emerald Coast you definitely need to check it out!
I spent the afternoon in Alys Beach and wore my new Lilly bikini and matching cover-up. This tunic-like cover-up is perfect because it covers enough skin to roam around the town, but is also breezy for a day on the beach. I always wear my favorite straw hat when spending time in the sun, because it’s fashionable and functional! What’s your go-to beach day outfit?
