rock the monogram

I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase, "If it's not moving, monogram it." I mean, Reese Witherspoon instagrammed about it, so it's obviously pretty serious ;) My personal favorite way to do monograms is through jewelry! They go with pretty much everything, and add such a classic and simple touch. I'm definitely a firm believer that everyone should have at least one monogrammed piece of jewelry. Here are some pieces I'm loving right now!

1. Classic Monogram Bracelet $60 // 2. Scallop Necklace $49.99 // 3. Classic Monogram Necklace $78 // 4. Pink Bangle $68 // 5. Preppy Stud Earrings $29.99 // 6. Classic Monogram Ring $75 // 7. Pearl Flourish Bracelet $99.99

Which piece is your favorite?

mug obsession

So, it's safe to say I have a mug obsession. Pretty much an understatement at this point. I just love cute mugs, and like having lots to choose from! Not a crime, am I right? ;) I'm constantly on the look out for cute mugs, even if I have no more room in this tiny apartment of mine, and these are some of my faves right now! (Just don't tell my mom, she thinks I have plenty!)

Miss Fancy Pants mug // Let's Always Be Fancy mug

 

Bossy mug // Live Happy mug

Monogrammed mug // CEO mug (I seriously need this one!)

Where is your favorite place to find mugs?

catch all trays

So after babysitting all week in a house that has numerous (gorgeous, totally useful) catch all trays, I've decided I need some. Especially one for my kitchen, where little things tend to just clutter my counters. (Gum packages everywhere. Seriously) So I figured I would put together a post of some of my favorites, as any blogger would do! ;)

1. Pretty much any tray from Nico and Lala. Reversible inserts and almost every one has a monogram option!

 

2. Evelyn Henson has the most adorable prints and her trays are no different! I'm slightly obsessed with the watermelon one. (So much so, that when I saw she had a free download of the artwork, I immediately made it my computer background!)

 

3. No surprise at all, Design Darling has super cute tray options. I think the acrylic tray is just so versatile, and you definitely can't go wrong with a monogram!

4. I'm pretty sure I found Laura Dro Designs through another blog, or maybe a giveaway. Either way, I fell in love with her fun designs, and I think it's obvious by now that I love when things can be monogrammed.

So, I'll gladly take opinions and suggestions! ;)

clutch that clutch

To be honest, it took my a while to hop on the clutch trend! I always thought it'd be weird carrying a purse that didn't have straps, and thought I would end up just leaving it somewhere. But after seeing pretty much all of my favorite bloggers styling clutches, I'm slightly obsessed! They're so versatile and easy to just grab on the way out when you don't need a big bag. Here are some of my favorites right now:

 

Gigi New York Uber Clutch (who doesn't want one of these?)  // Design Darling Colorblock Tassel Clutch

 

Design Darling Tortoiseshell Clutch // J.Crew Stationary Clutch

 

Kate Spade Beau Pouch // Ralph Lauren Gipson Clutch

Which clutch is your favorite?

the little things

I don't know if it's just me, but I always seem to find thing that I definitely do not need, but of course want anyway. Well, this does happen a lot when I shop, but I mean just little things, such as fun paperclips! It's probably gotten a little worse since online shopping has gotten bigger, but does anyone really mind? (Besides our bank accounts!) Plus, it's always fun to shop for things you don't necessarily need!

 

Kate Spade Bow Paper Clips // Design Darling Cupcake Tree

 

Confetti&Co Fancy Frill Balloon (this one is named Kylie!!) // May Designs Customizable Notebooks

 

Charm&Gumption Return Address Stamp // The Confetti Bar Bollywood Confetti

 

Okay, these are different because I do NEED them. Who doesn't need champagne gummies? (1, 2)

What little things are you wanting (or needing)?

blogs galore

I have a very long list of blogs that I check on a daily basis. It's pretty much the reason that I got into blogging myself. These ladies inspire me on so many levels, whether it be fashion or personal stories! I thought I'd share some of my favorite blogs with you guys today, and hope that you get inspired as much as I do :)

Carly at The College Prepster: Carly's blog is is the first blog that I really started following on a daily basis. She's one of the nicest people in the world, and I find myself looking forward to reading her posts, whether it be an outfit post or her My Real Selfie post. She's just so real, which is incredibly refreshing in a time where their is a lot of fakeness on the internet.

Sarah at Classy Girls Wear Pearls: Not only is she apart of an amazing company, but her style is absolutely fabulous. I could sit and look through the archives of her blog forever! Her closet (which she and her fiance have posted pictures of on instagram) is the thing of dreams. Plus, who can beat a name like Classy Girls Wear Pearls?

Julia at Gal Meets Glam: To say that I'm obsessed with Julia's style would be an understatement. I found her blog in the midst of NYFW, and immediately fell in love. Her style is girly but still incredibly fashion forward, and just...swoon worthy! (I'm still head over heels for that camel/pink outfit)

Mackenzie at Design Darling: First of all, she has the cutest online boutique store. And then there's her blog, which ranges from amazing outfit posts to decorating and more! I love her latest series on inspiring women, and I can't wait to see more of it! (And to hopefully get rich, so I can buy every single thing in her store.)

Well, that's my list for now! To see the full list of blogs I follow daily, click on over here :)
