Graduation Party!

  I don't know if I'll ever get a hang of blogging regularly, no matter how much I'd like to. But for now I'll just have to catch up on everything I've been meaning to post!

  Starting with my graduation party on June 2nd. I had a lot of fun and got to see many of the people I love all in one place. And it was so fun buying all the party supplies and decorating for the event! I decided to go for a Lilly Pulitzer-esque theme because who doesn't love Lilly?

  Here are some pictures from the party! My mom ordered the cake from a local bakery, but it came plain blue with "Congratulations Alex" in the middle. I bought a can of icing and dyed it into 6 different shades of pink and green and actually painted the flowers on with a paintbrush myself! It was time consuming but very worth it!

Trends I'm Loving: Foxy

Foxy Trend

One of my favorite trends that I've seen lots of recently is clothing/accessories that are embroidered with foxes! Growing up, I've always loved horses and everything associated with them, so naturally I'm attracted to foxes due to all the fox hunting paintings I've seen. Something about this animal just seems "regal" and "proper" to me, so even the casual rain boots and simple tee look super girly and fun! While I don't have anything "foxy" yet, I'm definitely going to have to invest in some soon! What's your favorite?

The Perks of Having Small Feet

I found these fun flats at Target today in the kid's section for $17.99. How perfect would these be with dark skinnies and a simple white top?

I love having small feet because kids shoes are always cheaper, and since not many women wear a size 6 or 6 1/2 (equal to a 4 or 5 in kids), I don't have to worry about my size being sold out. If you have small feet, I would highly recommend shopping in the kid's department to save money and find unique styles!

What do y'all think?

Today's Sale Rack Finds 3/8

Today, my FAVORITE boutique, Monkee's of Richmond, was having a huge winter sale. Everything winter was $25 - including brands like Kate Spade and Elizabeth McKay. I got some goodies and only spent $75 on items originally worth $490 altogether!

Let's start with the shoes. These are "Butter" brand suede heels with cute fray detailing on the toe. These fit like a glove, are so comfortable, and the heel is the perfect height! They're real suede and leather and are made in Italy. The original price was $265. I paid $25. How crazy is that?!





Next, I got this dress. It's flattering, versatile, and so girly and fun! It was originally $95 and I got it for $25, and the best part is, I don't have to wait until next winter to wear it! I think it would be perfect for spring! Such an easy dress to throw on for a quick, effortless outfit :)



And lastly, one of my favorite things ever, is this preppy argyle clutch! This has been in the boutique for awhile, and I'm surprised no one bought it before me (not that I'm complaining!). I've been wanting a nice clutch for quite a bit to take to events and date nights, and this is perfect! It was originally $130 and I got it for $25. I am so happy about this! So amazing. And it even came with a pouch to put it in during travel so the sequin and beading doesn't get ruined. Love!
