Pearls & Lace Guest Post

Hi, loves! Please give a warm welcome to Jen of Pearls and Lace! Jen has an absolutely adorable blog, so be sure to stop by and say hello. Enjoy!  

Hi I'm Jen from Pearls & Lace and I'm thrilled to be guest posting for Holly while she's wrapping up her trip in Qatar! Her blog is one that I read on a daily basis and I'm always excited to see her new posts! We hit it off right away because I always love her fashion picks...blame it on our similar style! Since Christmas is only 13 days away I thought we could all use some help finding that last minute stylish gift for a lovely friend without breaking the bank! I'll admit I'm totally addicted to J.Crew and Anthropologie (with a dash of Kate Spade here and there), so I thought it would be great to find some affordable gifts from the stores which top many girls' lists! All of my picks are from J.Crew, Kate Spade or Anthropologie and they're all $25 and under! Happy shopping!

Monday Pick-Me-Up

Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! I came across this little reminder and found it fitting to share. With thankfulness on the mind it is important to remember that even the smallest actions, if filled with love, can leave a lasting impact on those around us. So go out and love, be thankful, and have a wonderful day!

So Long Summer...

The long Labor Day weekend is upon us, which means that it's time to say so long to summer...sigh. Wasn't it a good one? Mine was packed with friends, family, and amazing adventures!

Although I'm sad to see the warmer days start to dwindle away, I'm excited to welcome fall which happens to be my favorite season for a bunch of reasons including (but of course not limited to), fashion, college football, apple cider, carving pumpkins, and beautiful changing leaves!

What's are your favorite things about the fall season? Have a wonderful long weekend!

4th of July Favorites

With the 4th of July almost here I decided to pull together a few of my favorite images that best represent this summer holiday. From yummy desserts to shiny sparklers, this celebration of independence is sure to serve as a burst of fun during these hot summer days!

Weekend Celebrations

My holiday weekend will be filled with parties and I could not be more excited! From a bachelorette to a going away party (and everything in between), this weekend will be packed!

Although I'll be busy with celebrations, I'll still be posting over the long weekend with not one, but TWO guest posts! Sunday I'll be over at Ashley Nicole Catherine and on Monday at Second Street East. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

Have an amazing weekend!
