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!

Southern Striped Fall Outfit

Hello Guys!

As much as we want to be able to bundle up with layers and layers, the weather is just not ready quite yet. Whether your transitioning into cooler weather, or cooler weather is not your future *cough* the South.  Regardless, I absolutely love this outfit! To me, it is straight from my fall Pinterest board. My striped dress is from Dilliards as well as my boots. My bracelets are Alex and Ani. I dutch braided my hair, which adds to the fall feel. Dutch braiding your hair is hard to learn, but once you do, it will become your go-to hairstyle. I hope the weather drops at least ten degrees in the next few days. Oh, a Florida Girl can dream!

If It's Unrelated, It irrELEPHANT

Hi Guys!

I apologize for the elephant pun, but it had to be done. Anyways, thats irrelephant lets get on to the outfit! I am wearing my Crown and Ivy elephant top. Elephants are my one of my favorite animals, so its obvious that this shirt is a staple in my wardrobe. My jeans are from Gap and I love them! My shoes are of course, Birkenstocks. If you have read up on my last blog posts, which you totally should, I have been featuring  my Birenstocks a lot. 

Enjoy!

Get Ivy Ready

Hey Guys!

Cue the back to school commercials, back to school season is upon us. For most of us, we are already back in school, hitting the books. Today, I am sharing a simple look with you guys. I am wearing a Harvard shirt, jeans and my birkenstocks. If you are in college, plan accordingly by wearing your schools shirt. Rep your school and be comfortable. It's a win-win.

If you are still in high-school, wear your favorite colleges shirts. This is also is a win-win as you can tour the school (yay!) and make sure you stop by the bookstore to pick up a shirt (a must!). You can also wear Norts instead of jeans, which is always a good idea.

Lifeguarding in Lilly

Hello Everyone!!

While at the beach, they had a junior lifeguarding session going on. They would throw a tennis ball into the water and have two people find it. I thought this was so interesting!

My outfit was colorful yet and I had a lot of fun putting this outfit together. My shirt is from Gap and my bracelets are from DivinityLA.This is perfect because it is a sea turtle which is very summery. My watch is from Daniel Wellington, email me at prepbysophia@gmail.com for a 20% off discount code for Country Club Prep. My skirt is a Lilly Original and I love it!

Summer and Scallops

Hello Everyone!

Here in sunny Florida, we are not lacking any beaches (or any body of water for that matter). Ponce Inlet is one of Florida's beautiful beaches. Whether you want to fish, surf or relax, the beach is the perfect place to do so. The weather was nice with a slight breeze making for a more bearable temperature. Honestly, it was the picture perfect beach day, literally.

My outfit captures the timeless, effortless feel of the beach. My shirt is from Gap as well as my scalloped shorts. My watch is from Daniel Wellington and my bracelets are from Divinity LA. My pink and white shoes are Jack Rodgers.

A Lilly Lover OOTD

Hello everyone!
I love finding little shops in even smaller towns. I recently found this decked out pink shop that had everything a girl could ever want. Finding and exploring shops is one of my favorite things to do. Thats one of the reasons I love blogging/vlogging. Photography in itself is such a unique art form, I just love it.

My outfit is for every Lilly lover! My sweater is Lilly as well as my skirt. It is actually a Lilly Original which is amazing! It's truly all in the details, as even the tag is beautiful. My shoes are silver Jack Rodgers. My watch is from Daniel Wellington and my bracelets are Alex and Ani. My earrings are Marc Jacobs.

Leading In Lilly

I really have been loving bright outfits for the summer. My white polo is from Ralph Lauren. My shorts are none other than Lilly Pulitzer. The perfect summery shoe aka my pink and white shoes are Jack Rodgers. My earrings are studs from Macys and they so Pinterest-y which makes me love them even more. Im pairing them with my monogram necklace and Lilly and Laura bracelets. I had a lot of fun with this outfit and think it is perfect for a hot summer day.
