I Need Summer!

Is it just me or has winter been dragging on a little too much? I know it's still February, but it seems like it's been here forever. Here in Georgia, it was super nice for a couple of days! Nice enough that I could wear a pair of norts and go walking around my neighborhood. But then this week happened. Today was in the thirties again! Ugh!

Because of this awful weather I have had one thing on the brain: SUMMER. I am definitely in need of summer pronto. Nice weather, laying out by the pool, I want it all! Since I have been thinking of it so much, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite summer essentials:

1) Croakies: I feel like croakies are needed, especially if you are going to be wearing sunglasses all the time like I am! These Vineyard Vines ones are cute and come in various colors!

2) A cute pair of sandals: I think sandals are a definite for summer! You can dress them up or just wear them for any occasion! Jack Rogers especially are popular in the summer.

3) A good pair of shorts: Shorts are essential wether their denim, khaki, whatever! These J. Crew chino shorts a great when you feel like adding a pop of color to your outfit!

4) A nice bathing suit: Obviously, bathing suits are needed for summer! Whether you're at the pool, beach, or lake you wanna look cute! Pink by Victoria's Secret has a great selection! 

My Buys for the Day

Today I did a little back to school shopping with my mother! It's hard to believe I'll be on a plane to New York in two weeks! It seems like summer vacation just started, but I'm not complaining! I am beyond excited to get back to school. I just received my housing packet and found all my new suite mates on Facebook (more like creeped haha). Below are my latest purchases from today!

1. Nike Tempo Track Shorts by Nike

2. Dry Erase Message Board Decal from Bed, Bath, and Beyond

3. Nothing Else Metals by Essie

4. Bikini So Teeny by Essie

Lilly Loving

For my first post, I have to get something off my chest:

Hello, my name is Amanda, and I have a Lilly Pulitzer addiction.

Recently, I spent quite a lot of money on shorts (picture above). But let me tell you you, they are so worth it! I cannot wait until school starts (25 days until move in, but who's counting!) to show off my fabulous and preppy shorts. Not only are they cute, but they are the perfect length.

As you can see in the picture, the shorts are not very short, and can easily go to your fingers- so they should totally be appropriate to wear if you are in High School. I don't know about you, but it is not attractive at all to see girls wearing shorts that have their butts hanging out of them. What I love about Lilly Pulitzer shorts is that they are modest but cute!
