Since it's so close to Christmas, it seems like everyone wants to be festive! Both of my parents have been wearing Christmas colors pretty much every day, and my sister definitely raided my closet for something red or green. This sweater from Oasap ended up being the perfect piece for a day of shopping! And the cashier at Chickfila loved it, so obviously it's the best! Plus, meet my new obsession. 360 studs from Sparkle & Whim! I'm beyond in love with them, and you can get 15% off using the code 'kylie15'!

favorite online boutiques

I love blogging. I've been doing it for a little over seven months now, and it's turned out to be even more fun than I thought it would be. One of my favorite things about blogging is all the amazing people I get to meet, especially small online boutique owners! Everyone I've met is just so genuinely nice, and it makes ordering from them and working with them so much better! So today I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite online boutiques, so you can get to know all these awesome people too! (I am totally not responsible for all the things you're going to want to buy after this! ;))

Also, happpppppy birthday to the best mom a girl could ask for, and the reason I'm as fashionable as I am! Love you Mommy!

Confetti Cake Collection: The name is cute enough to draw you in, but then you see the shirts, and the cuteness factor explodes. Plus, I can vouch for the fact that these are some of the softest and comfiest shirts you will ever own! (And each of them comes with a little pack of confetti to party with!) Also, you get to buy from one of the sweetest shop owners out there!

My fave picks: Mermaid Life, Apple Pie, Holy Ship!

Accessory Jane: I met Liz through instagram (pretty much how I've met everyone from blogging at this point!) and I instantly fell in love with all her fabulous pieces! Plus, the fact that she's SO nice and always does her best to make customers happy is such a major win in my book. And now she has an official site up, and you can shop her jewels any time!

My fave picks: Madelyn, Evelyn, Catalina

Preppy Bows and Sass: My obsession with this etsy store knows no bounds, as it fuels my bow and Lilly Pulitzer obsessions. Bows...in a bracelet...in a Lilly print? PERFECTION! There are so many fun things to choose from in the store, so I apologize in advance for emptying your wallet! ;) (you can use the code KYLIEREP for 15% off a $10 purchase!)

My fave picks: Pocket shirt, Nice Tail Bow Bracelet, Hotty Pink Bow

Shop Pretty Pants: What a fun store! There are so many amazing things to choose from, and the best part is, they're always getting more! Since I started following them on instagram a couple months ago, I've seen the store grow so much and tons of new products get added! There really is something for everyone!

My fave picks: Heart Bracelets, Anchor Necklace, Tassel Bracelet

Have fun shopping! ;)

So when I said I didn't have much neon the other day, I had totally forgotten about this shirt. It's definitely one of my favorites, so whoops! And when I got this "Lobstah Roll" bow in the mail from Preppy Bows and Sass, I knew I had to pair it with it!

ALSO, happpppy 26th anniversary to my parents!!

chambray and seersucker

I think one of my favorite combos is chambray and seersucker. It just works so well together. I'm probably going to need to add some more chambrays to my collection soon, considering how much I wear my J.Crew one! Plus, how adorable is this two-tone seersucker bow from Preppy Bows and Sass? Love it!

PS I have an awesome giveaway going on over on instagram with some awesome bloggers and Etsy stores! Check it out!

sister style + a giveaway!

When people get introduced to my sister and I, one of the first things we always hear is "Oh, you two look like sisters!". (I've always thought this was a strange thing to say, but anywho.) While we may look similar, we are so different in every other aspect. Even with dancing, which we both did. I did ballet, and she did more competitive dance styles. These differences obviously translate into our styles as well, and I always love how effortless hers is. Girl can put on a simple tank and some shorts and look adorable. She has a laid back vibe, especially with her mermaid hair. (Seriously. Her hair gets blonde in the summer without any help other than the sun, and just magically gets those beachy waves my thick hair will never be able to hold.) I took a picture of her outfit when I was home, but decided I would do a whole post about it!

Do you see that mermaid hair?

A throwback, but perfectly shows our differences!

Then of course, we're oh so similar ;)

And now onto the giveaway! I've teamed up with Preppy Bows and Sass (the maker of most of my adorable bow bracelets) for a fun giveaway! The winner will win a matching bow, bow bracelet and key fob in a print of their choice (see available list below)! The giveaway starts today and ends next monday, so be sure to get your entries in!

And if you just cant wait and need to make a purchase ASAP, use the code "KYLIEREP" for 15% off $10 or more!

available prints: Lobstah Roll, Jellies Be Jammin, Sunnyside, Bright Navy Loves Me, Ring the Bellboy, Get Crackin'

go bright or go home

I feel like this should be the catch phrase for summer outfits, am I right? I love wearing brights and neons in warmer weather, and pairing them with more neutral shades to really make them pop. Go bright or go home!

Anyone else a big fan of brights in the summer?

chambray and lace

As everyone already knows, a chambray is the perfect go to piece. I normally gravitate towards bright colors when I wear this skirt, but the chambray paired perfectly! (Not surprising at all.) Add in some fun bracelets and heels, and it was set!

shirt: J.Crew (similar) // skirt: TjMaxx // shoes: Rampage (love these! only $40!) // bracelet: Preppy Bows and Sass c/o // watch: Accessory Jane
