Top: Justice $15
Skirt: Land's End (mine does not have the smocked waist) $30

I'm just glad I got through an entire outfit without pink (except the bracelet but that doesn't matter)
The point of this post was to show you that preppy fashion does not have to be expensive and CAN be bought at Target.

Comment if you want to see how to make the bracelets.

Let’s go to the beach, each Let’s go get away

that was one weird book I was reading!

My brother with all of his bake and sharks. Don't worry, he didn't eat all

On Monday I didn't have school, so what else would my entire family do but head to the beach! The water was cold but we all had a blast. It was nice to see a lot of my family members that don't live here.

Tankini top: Lands' End

For when I'm feeling lazy...

This is kind of bad, but I find that lately I just want to wear shorts and a sailing tshirt. Today Dad and I are just going to pick up the sails, run a few errands and then I have racing this afternoon. I'm just wearing my Lilly Pulitzer Callahan Shorts with one of Meggyums' sail team tshirts and my Sperry's. The bow bracelet is from Forever 21 and the other two are home-made. My cardigan is Lands' End.

Outfit of the day- Lilly love

Jewelry and close up on dress

the awesome back of the dress

Navy and pink dress: Lilly Pulitzer
Flower sandals: Lands' End

Jade flower bracelet: Houston China town
Pearls: ?


This is my ultimate, all time favourite dress that I have ever owed and not just because it's Lilly! I would wear this to quite possibly anyplace where "casual" is not acceptable. Anyplace! The navy fabric is zig-zag texture and is soft and thick. It's so well made I didn't even know it had a zip until my cousin pointed it out, but that may just be because I was so excited to get the dress. I love the little key hole in the back which for me just makes the dress. I think this requires simple jewelry to showcase it's beauty. What's more simple than pearls? Pink sandals complete the outfit and a simple quiet purse would do fine.
