Hello again!

I can't believe I haven't posted in so long! I was just on spring break and kept myself insanely busy and I've been slacking, but I want to get back to posting now that the weather is getting nice and there's much more to do for me to post about! I'll give y'all an update on what I've been up to!

So  I recently painted my walls brown, and to add a pop of color, my mom and I painted my bed frame a bright berry pink. I love how it turned out. Matches the painting above the bed perfectly! So girly :)

I helped out at pony camp at the barn I work at, and I got to ride a lot! Jumping courses with Secret was so much fun and helped me prepare for my show this upcoming Saturday. I'm so nervous but it's going to be an amazing experience!

My barn got a bunny! It stays in a cage in the tack room and I snuggle with it every time I go ride. So soft and cute :)

Happy (late) Easter! This is my little cousin, Ella, and me at our grandparents' house. She's eating a homemade Snickers bar and let me tell you... They were INCREDIBLE. Gotta love family cooking!

I liked this picture because she was cantering and all 4 feet are off the ground. She's such a cutie :)

Oh how I love being on the back of a horse...

Look for more fashion posts SOON! Xoxo

A Little Introduction

Hello! I'm Alex, and I've wanted to start a blog for awhile now. Thanks to the recent snow storm for cancelling classes, I've dedicated my day to finally getting around to it. I live in the Richmond, VA area and go to school as a high school senior/college freshman (I haven't graduated yet but I'm taking classes at the local community college to get ahead). I want to eventually work in the psychiatry field, so I've got a ways to go.

I have always loved preppy style - Lilly Pulitzer, Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, and the like. However, it's not so fun spending all of my paycheck on a single item. So to get the style I want without breaking the bank, I shop at thrift stores, consignment stores, and sale racks. However, sometimes I do splurge and I think that's completely fine as long as I don't get too carried away ;)

I have a boyfriend named Joe that lives in Michigan. The distance is so hard but when I do get to see him we have the most amazing time - and he shares my love for fashion so I always get to play dress-up with him and find cute deals for him as well. I have a Westie named Cooper and he's the most adorable dog I think I've ever seen. I also ride horses about 3 times a week and work as a nanny after school and on weekends!

Here are a few pictures that sum up my life and what my blog posts will mostly consist of!

Joe and me before dinner at The Tobacco Company

He's such a cutie :)

An outfit of mine - J Crew gingham from J Crew Factory, Barbour jacket (gift from Joe), Lucky Brand jeans from Marshalls, Kate Spade watch, and Clarks Desert Boots (gifts from Mom)

One of my senior pictures - what a gorgeous boy, right!?

This is the horse I lease, Secret. If you see me post any horse pictures, it's probably her. She's an Arabian/Thoroughbred and she's such a sweet girl, although sometimes she can have a bit of an attitude. Riding is my therapy.

And just a quick selfie to show everyone what I look like ;)

My dog, Cooper!

I'm so excited to start blogging! I hope this gets easier as I go along...
