Spontaneous Miscellaneous

Happy Friday y'all. I thought this day would never come. Today's plans were going to consist of an afternoon at the beach with my grandparents who are in town but thanks to the storms coming in, that won't be happening. We did however get to enjoy a day with them on Tuesday and that is definitely a favorite of this week. I can't wait for them to live close!
We also have a trip in the works to Savannah Georgia with the whooole family for Christmas. I can't wait to share everything with y'all.

Let's jump into some things that have been on my radar recently!

If you have seen my Instagram pictures recently, you may know that I am LOVING my fall themed coffee cozys. It puts me in the fall spirit even if I am only drinking an iced coffee to keep me cool and awake. Her shop is opening up tomorrow with even more options. You can stalk her Instagram to see what all the fuss is about. I love creative people. 

This show y'all. It is SO good. I am a total sucker for political/government dramas and the first two episodes of this show are JUST as good as the trailer implied. There is little to none foul language (so far) and though there are parts that are very dramatic and sad, there is nothing gory or yucky to look at (again, so far). I big time recommend watching folks. 
(Don't worry though y'all, this has not replaced Madam Secretary... Season 3. October 2nd. 2 Days. 48 Hours. It's coming back. #butwhoscounting)

Manicures
This is the most random thing ever but I actually went and got a manicure this morning and I feel like this needs to be a bi-weekly thing. Because like Elle Woods, it's the one thing that makes me happy no matter what ;) Can you tell I watched Legally Blonde again yesterday? #nevergetsold

I love keeping up with certain bloggers and love to feel like I go through life with them. Well one of my biggest style inspirations and favorite bloggers, Julia Engel from Gal Meets Glam just moved from San Francisco to Charleston South Carolina. I can't wait to see her new adventures living on the East Coast. It's the best coast ;) But I am not biased at all.

7$ Blanket Scarf!

It's Hump Day y'all. We are half way to the weekend! Today I am sharing a super cute Fall look. Now those of you who also live in the south know that this is still a little too much to be worn in the middle of the day with this horrible heat we're still experiencing. I do however, love a good blanket scarf, even if I feel as if I am suffocating from the heat. This scarf is not online but is only 7$ in the Target dollar section in stores. Yeah folks. You heard me right. SEVEN. DOLLARS. Talk about a steal. They had a few other colors too that I liked. Check it out next time your in my happy place :) #targetstopstealingallmymoney

Have a great rest of your week! Talk to you soon!

Fall Sister Session

It is officially Fall now y'all! Even though you can only survive in an outfit like this for about 5 minutes in the Florida heat, it sure is cute. I love playing in other peoples closet. I picked out this super cute look for my sister incorporating her favorite color maroon with the army green fall staple. Add a denim skirt and brown boots and you have your self a winner. This is an easy look to re-create in your wardrobe. Not to mention, how CUTE is that purse?? My sweet grandma got that for me for Christmas a few years ago after I flipped out over it in stores. 

What is your favorite part of Fall? I can't wait to show y'all some more autumn outfits and accesories that are inexpensive for y'all. I am all about a cute steal, can I get an Amen? 

Have a great day and I will see y'all on Wednesday!

Happy Friday y'all. I'm so glad we could catch up over some coffee here after a busy week. Pull up a chair. Let me tell you about some of my favorite things this week.


This video is hilarious! If you haven't already seen these you need to. So funny. I think all of us can relate to a parent trying to keep up with the trends :)

Okay this is a funny video too. My friend sent this to me on Instagram and I rewatched it like 5 times. It is hilarious trying to watch these guys play soccer with shock collars around their leg! Would any of y'all call me crazy if I tried this? Yes? Okay.

Y'all I love this song. If you haven't already listened to it you need to. So sweet. I want this to play at my wedding one day :) Dan + Shay do it again.

Okay this could be a dangerous discovery. I about fell out of my chair when I saw all of the fall clothes and accessories this online boutique has to offer. Y'all will love this website. You're welcome ;)

Alrighty so there you have some things I have been loving recently. Don't forget to email me or comment sharing things you have loved this week too! Talk to you soon. Have a great weekend!

Fall Cookies

Hey y'all. Look at these cute fall decorated cookies. I promised a nicer picture of how they turned out and here they are. I can't wait to make more recipes for the upcoming seasons and holidays. I admit though, that I would feel much more motivated to do so if the weather wasn't hot as you know where outside ;) You can used any kind of cookie dough you like. If you are just learning how to decorate cookies though I recommend starting on a sugar cookie. It is like a blank canvas. 

Here is a link to the icing recipe. You just have to die it with your choice of colors. 

Happy Baking!

Weekend Recap {September 17th 2016}

Now that the post-concert-depression has worn off I feel capable to write this blog post. Here are a bunch of pictures and videos (from the Insta story) describing my weekend.

 Let me start from the beginning. So that morning I thought it would be a great idea to bake some Fall cookies and make half of them gluten free and half normal in case the gluten free ones tasted terrible. They did by the way. 

Roll Tide is RIGHT.. but my goodness it was anything but an easy game this Saturday. My sister and I were sitting outside of a concert getting play by play of the game from our dad because #wecoollikethat and we were stressed. We heard Alabama was ahead and we were all..

then we were ahead more and we were all..

then Ole Miss scored with a few minutes left in the game so we were all..

BUT then we came out with a win so we could relax and enjoy the concert..

As many of you may have seen from my Instagram story, my sister and I attended a Scotty McCreery concert this past Saturday. It was outside, I was close to the stage, and it was perfect. Let me give you some background on my celebrity crush situation here.

So most of y'all may not know that my family has always been BIG into the show American Idol. Now the show did end last year (cue the tears) but for the years that it was on, my family took it pretty seriously. My sister has always been the one more into music but for some reason I took a huge liking into Scotty McCreery on season 10. Like obsessed may be a better word. I had pictures of him on my phone and in my room and even titled my email address julianamccreery. Yeah... the struggle was real y'all. I made sure to loose an extra bit of sleep on American Idol nights to vote for him. Fast forward to the end of the season and he won. Now this was almost 6 years ago so even though I don't use that email and stalk him anymore, you can imagine I was still pretty pumped to go to his show. I love me some country music. Even if that means being shoulder to shoulder with people who are so drunk they have no idea what country their in. #doitforScotty #marryme


A real classy outfit picture for y'all. Love the outhouse, orange net, and truck in the background :)

I love jammin' with this one.

I also love cute merchandise!

It was a good weekend. Stay country ;)

Spontaneous Miscellaneous

Happy Sunday y'all! I hope each of you has enjoyed your weekend. I know I sure have. I had a very busy day yesterday and got to see my celebrity crush in concert for the first time ever. So yeah it was a pretty good weekend. I will recap all of that jazz and show you more pictures and everything in a post tomorrow.

Today we are doing something a little different. Anyone who knows me sure knows that I like to TALK. So once a week that is all I am going to do. I am going to share a few of my favorite things from the past week and chat it up. Lets do this.



Donut Dazzle
Okay I don't know if y'all have heard of this game yet or not but it is flippin' stressful y'all. I don't recommend it if you have high blood pressure. So fun to burn time when waiting in line or if you are bored in class :P

Draper James Tailgate Collection
Lord help me I about flipped out of my seat when I first saw Reese Witherspoon whip out this collection. It is everything. It is taking every ounce of self control not to go crazy and buy all the cute platters and cups and totes and sweaters and keychains... oh my.

Bitmojis
Um how have I not heard of this sooner? You can create your own online person and then add it to your keyboard so you can send hilarious pictures of "yourself" to your friends. My family has had a field day with this app. My mom, sister, and I have changed our outfits about a hundred times. Group chats with extended family will never be the same.

Shull Family Adoption
I don't know if y'all are familiar with the show the Bachelor (if not, what are you doing??) but a few years back you may remember Sean Lowe being the bachelor. Well his sister is a food and lifestyle blogger and I stalk her daily. She has the cutest family. Just this past week she and her husband along with their three kids went to adopt for the second time in China. I could just about cry after reading through her recent blog posts from China. Orphanages are overflowing with sweet kids like hers. It breaks my heart. So admirable to see other Christians being obedient to God and acting immediately. I want to live a life like this.

Scotty McCreery Music
So let me introduce you to my husband Scotty McCreery. He talks real deep, loves football, sings country, and I love him. I will make sure to recap my concert experience and entire weekend real soon.

So that is life right now. I hope y'all like these.  I will talk to you real soon!

Fall Booties

Hey y'all and happy hump day! I am dragging today. I don't know what it is but my eyes can barely stay open. I think I will get a giant coffee and countdown to the weekend!
How cute is this top? This is a perfect example of how to transition a summer top into a fall look. Skinny jeans and booties are always the answer. Even though I have to admit my sister and I were sweating our butts off. Florida is sure living up to it's name right now... #sunshinestate.
Hope y'all enjoy the rest of your week. I will talk to y'all soon with a new series I think you're going to like :)

Style Inspiration / Favorite Bloggers


Happy Monday y'all. Today we are talking inspiration. I try not to spend too much time looking through social media or other blogs because I find myself comparing and that is never good. I do however find that other blogs and accounts are the source of some great inspiration. It has been a while since I have given y'all some recommendations for other bloggers so here you are!

Not only does this girl have some of the cutest stationary and mugs EVER, but her blog is full of cuteness as well. Her posts have all kinds of kit and kaboodle and I never miss a post. Her Palm Beach trip recap has me dreaming of going. I love following other bloggers who live in Florida. It can often get me down following those who live in say Colorado because their weather is completely different come Fall and Winter time than us Floridians. 

Carly is just about the cutest human being ever. Her style is a perfect mixture of preppy and classy. She hardly wears any makeup and is beautiful. I also love how she shares so much of her life on her Youtube channel as well. 

I am an avid Marley Lilly shopper. If you aren't following their Instagram then what are you doing with your life?? All the preppy monogram things.. it's love. 


There you have it! I hope y'all have found some inspiration yourself! I will talk to y'all very soon!

Cute Dress, Cute Friends, & Life Update!

Hey gang! Sorry it's been a while. I haven't hardly been on my blog or social media all week. I had the stomach bug at the beginning of this week and my sister is finishing off the week with the flu so we have not been out taking pictures to say the least. We are both feeling a lot better now though :)
I love a goofy photo-shoot with friends!
I don't know if y'all will notice but I went and got my hair trimmed up nice and short again with some side bangs! I think this is my favorite way I do my hair. It's amazing how much a haircut can affect your mood :)
This dress is a FAVORITE! It is super cute for the heat Florida is still experiencing. However, almost all summer dresses can be paired with a denim jacket for this transition period between summer and fall. 
Speaking of fall, I have a super awesome giveaway coming at the end of this month to kick off the Fall season. Y'all are gonna love it!
Today is another football Saturday so y'all know where I will be.. #couchpotato #aintmadatit

Have a great weekend! Talk to you soon!

xoxo
