I love wearing bright colors and patterns in the summer and recently I've been wearing my Lilly quite a lot. There are so many adorable things on their site right now, so I thought I would share my favorite from each category. I'm really hoping that some of these things end up in the end of summer sale. I have my fingers crossed! I'm not a fan of paying full price for Lilly, it's just way too expensive, and in the past I've been pretty lucky. I've found marked down Lilly at my Bloomingdales …

There are so many …
Light It Up
It would be an understatement to say that I like candles. I'm one of those people who goes into Bath & Bodyworks expecting to walk out with a just few PocketBac hand sanitizers, but instead ends up leaving with at least one new candle. And yes, I typically end up smelling as many of them as possible in the process of making my decision. However, in Bath & Bodyworks I've come to realize that the best way to know if a candle will be too strong or not once you get it …

Terrific Totes
I don't know about you, but I hardly ever use small purses. Instead, I have the tendency to carry satchel style purses or tote bags most of the time. I always carry a decent amount of stuff with me, so it makes more sense to have it all fit nicely in my bag rather than to have an absolutely stuffed tiny purse in addition to a pile of stuff to carry around with me. With my planner, wallet, glasses, makeup bag, camera, etc. it's quite a lot to carry. Speaking of totes, I picked out a few …
My Starbucks Obsession
If you follow me on Instagram, then you're probably well aware that I'm basically a Starbucks addict. I earned my gold card in 2010, and I love that I get a free drink or treat after every twelve purchases and on my birthday. Is Starbucks the healthiest thing in the world? No, but I love it anyway.via InstagramI consider Starbucks not only as a great place to grab coffee or a treat, but also a great place to get homework done. Every now and then, especially around finals, I'll grab a table after …
Spritz Spritz
Coco Chanel once said,"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future." This is quite an extreme statement, but I must say that I love perfume. I think it's so cool that a scent can change your mood or bring back a specific memory.One very important thing to remember about perfume is that there is definitely such a thing as too much of it! You don't want to smell like you poured a whole bottle on, so control is key. Stick to just one or two spritzes of perfume …
Fashion Icons
Every person has their own unique style, but a little inspiration always has to come from somewhere. When it comes to fashion, I have certain "icons" whom I think of when I am shopping for new clothes or choosing my outfit for the day. Sometimes I'll think to myself, "How would Kate wear this?" or "How can I make this look a little more Audrey-esque?" It's so much fun finding clothes and accessories that remind me of something they would wear and then putting my own spin on the item to …
