Daniel Wellington Watches

Watches are a staple in crafting a great look. Whether you pair your watch with bangles, a charm bracelet, or on it's on as a statement. Male or female, watches are not only a way to tell the time, but can add to a look. Today I'm sharing about my favorite watches which are Daniel Wellington Watches. 
Top watch pictured is the men's classic watch. Bottom watch pictured is the Classic Southampton 36mm women's watch. 
Daniel Wellington Watches are extremely versatile as you can switch out the bands. I love when a piece in my wardrobe is multi-functional. I own the Classic Southampton 36mm Women's Watch. They have a few different women's styles of watches to fit everyone's style. The first is the Classic which I own. The face is well - classic - as the name states. The next is Classic Black. These black watches are simply stunning with seven band styles to chose from. The next style is Classy. These are similar to the Classic, however instead feature Swarovski crystal index. Lastly, is the Dapper style. With a Roman Numeral index and the date, this watch surely makes a statement.
In previous blog posts I have styled Daniel Wellington watches with my outfit, but let me know if you want to see a post dedicated to how I style them, arm candy and all! 
Every bolded word indicates a style type, and when clicked, will transport you to the webpage of that specific style.

Tried and True Blue Oxford

Hello Everyone!
Today I am sharing with you guys a look featuring my tried and true blue oxford. This look is a great transition outfit from winter to spring. I also have been loving my S'well bottle, but if you haven't gotten your hands on one, check out my last post to see ways to find one. The reason my oxford is my tried and true, is because it can be layered, dressed up or down, and really customizable to fit the look you want. 
My blue oxford is from Gap and I paired them with my pink and white shorts from Target. My sparkly silver shoes are from Jack Rogers. My watch is from Daniel Wellington and my dainty pink bracelet is from Polo Ralph Lauren. I am also wearing my fossil charm bracelet. As always, what I'm wearing will be linked below or an item similar. 
Enjoy!

How To Find A Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well

Ahh the elusive Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottles. With four never before seen prints, these bottles have been popping up on Ebay. On Ebay, they are being sold anywhere from $60 for one to the nearly $300 for the whole set of four. And get this, they're selling. If you are not interested in purchasing yours from Ebay, below are tips on how to find a Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well water bottle. 

Call The Actual Starbucks Retailer: Although this may come as an obvious tactic to some, it's important that you pull up a list of Starbuck's store in your area. Even if you don't live in a certain area where they have them, you may have a friend who does. When you call, state your name and that you were inquiring to see if they have any Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle. If they (sadly) report they don't, thank them for their time, and continue your search. If they do in which case congratulations, ask them which pattern they have left. Above is the picture of all the prints and honestly they are all gorgeous no matter which pattern you find. Select your pattern and tell them to place it on hold under your name. If you live locally it won't be a problem of them holding it. However, if you live quite a distance away, ask them to place it on hold until the end of the day and be sure to get it before closing time. Otherwise, they may take it off hold and sell it so someone else.
Go in With A Friend: Personally, this how I found my Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle. One of my friends used the above method, and was able to purchase the Palm Beach Jungle pattern. However, when she asked if I was looking for one I of course replied with an enthusiastic yes! I called the same Starbucks she placed her's on hold at, and asked them to hold another water bottle under her name. As I mentioned before, they only had the Palm Beach bottle left, however this was my favorite pattern so I was ( and still am ) thrilled! This Starbucks isn't too far away, but a friend picked up both of bottles for us. You don't have to just call though, you can go into that local Starbucks store you pass on the way to work or school. So what does this mean for you? Ask your friend if she is looking for one as well. If so, you both can call and visit stores that are near the both of you. If one of you stumbles upon it, the other will pick up the bottle for the other. Be sure to tell your friend your favorite pattern, or if you don't have a preference. If this is successful, you and a friend now have the bottles! 
Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway: Lilly Pulitzer is currently having a giveaway where 30 people will be winning a Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle. From now until March 1, 2017 you can enter once a day in the winners will be contacted via email March 3, 2017. 
Online: If none of the above methods prove effective, the bottles will be online as of February 28th. This is as of right now, but the best way to stay up to date is to be on the Lilly Pulitzer email list, to be most up to date. If the big day remains February 28, 2017, it is important to be ready for action as these will sell out quickly. These bottles are highly sought after by Lilly lover's of all ages. Be prepared for whenever they are released because these will probably sell out very quickly. 
Good luck and I hope you all find a Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle!

Stars and Stripes by The Lake

Hello Everyone!
Winter is coming to a close, and that means spring is just around the corner. With spring around the corner, that means more lake days! The lake is always so peaceful and not to mention a great place to catch a bass or two. Layering is one of my favorite things to do especially with Florida's weather. The weather repeats in the same cycle where it is cooler in the morning, warmer during the day, and then gets cooler in the later evening. 
My blue and white collared blouse is from Talbots. My jeans are from Banana Republic and I styled them with my mocha Birkenstocks. My sweater is from Cambridge Spirits. My engraved name gold bar necklace was a gift from my parents. I will link below where you can purchase these clothing pieces, or very similar pieces. Lastly, I swept my hair into a side braid to finish off the look. 
Enjoy!
