Monogrammed Tassel Clutch




Each season I crave different items. Around the fall it's usually fur or leopard, Christmas/New Years bring in the sparkle, and then you have spring/summer which mean all the tassels!

At the beginning of spring I love when all the bright colors and patterns begin to show up. It means the start of sunshine! I try to wear color all year round, but I save the brightest of brights for this time of year. I was immediately drawn to this monogrammed tassel clutch from Marleylilly because it made me smile! I love when you find an item that makes you happy just by looking at it.



This clutch is lined with neon TASSELS and personalized with a monogram in the center. It really screams vacation, but I would love to take it to happy hours or date nights as well. Here, I styled it with white jeans, a neon pink ruffled top and some nude heels. But you could also do a simple black outfit with the clutch as a pop of color!

The best part is it's on sale for only $14.99 right now! It would also make the perfect gift for brides to use on their honeymoon with their new initials. Trust me, if they are anything like me they have a lot of monograms to re-do! Or for a future graduates you could put a little gift card in the clutch for a sending off present! So many possibilities!

Springtime Finds




Happy April! I feel like this year is really cruising by. I am so ready for sunshine though! I was in Columbus last weekend and it was literally snowing.. brrrr. Even more reason for me to be dreaming of the warm weather and new springtime accessories. I've complied some of my recent favs! You can shop by either clicking the photo or on my links below! 

Blue Light Glasses - I just ordered these today because I am looking at a computer/phone screen all day everyday. This pair has several color options and is under $20! I also figured I would test them out with a cheaper pair versus some of the more expensive ones I've seen. 

Pink Statement Earrings - I know I know I have a statement earring problem but these ones are perfect to add to your spring wardrobe! Plus they're on sale for $25! 

Leopard Keychain Pouch - This is perfect for errands to put your credit card/ ID in and attach right to your keyring. Sometimes I hate carrying around a big bag to the grocery store! The best part is it's under $8! What a steal. 

Nude Peeptoe Booties - A spring staple. I usually get a new pair of these each spring/summer because I wear them almost everyday! Between work and outings, they get tons of use. 

Vacay Sweatshirt - Great for travel and summer nights! I love throwing on a sweatshirt with denim shorts.

Sunnies - I just got a pair of basic black sunnies and I LOVE them! Perfect to pair with anything all spring/summer long.

Bow Hairties - These have been all the rage lately and I can't get enough of them!



I hope you guys are having a good week! 












The Perfect Monogrammed Tote




We almost made it through the week! It has warmed up so much here in Pittsburgh, it feels like Spring! The warmer weather is making me crave patio happy hours and lightweight clothing. I love starting new seasons with a different handbag and I found the perfect one for Springtime! 

I'm always in search of a tote that is great for travel and everyday use. Not to mention one that you can use all year round. The Charlotte Handbag from Marleylilly checks off all these boxes! It's lined on the inside and comes in two colors. The best part is you can customize the thread color/monogram font. I chose to do the "octagonal" lettering because I loved the way it looked on the bag. You can actually see what each font will look like before you purchase! Just click the personalize button, type in your initials and choose which font you want to see. 


I styled this bag a couple different ways. First, with a fun graphic tee and pink shag cardi. The neutral color means you can really pair it with anything! I've gotten so many compliments on the chain detail as well. 




I also paired it with a chunky sweater, a leopard fur jacket and some oversized sunnies! I've been using it for work these past couple weeks, and it fits my planner perfectly. I love that you don't have to fish around to find something. It's not too big or too small. It also has a snap closure across the top and a zip pocket inside. 



I'll definitely be getting a ton of use out of this bag! It's on sale for less than $45 right now, which includes personalization. With Valentine's Day next week it would also make the perfect gift!

Hope you guys have a good Friday tomorrow!

Drinks Well with Others - Valentine's Day Edition!


I am a BIG theme person! Give me a theme and I'm the first person to go all out. So with Valentine's Day coming up you know I'm all about the pink, red and hearts. 

The January Monobox from  I Love Jewelry includes the cutest pieces that are so fun for Feb 14th! And you only have a few days left to order it! The first item in the box is a heart sweatshirt that comes with your monogram in red script. I am wearing a size Large so it would be a little oversized. You also get a heart cup (which is perfect for wine I might add) and a heart shaped choker. I'm actually currently drinking out of mine while watching The Bachelor! (ps. who are your favs?!)

The Monobox is only $21.95/month and you get the best goodies! You can also add on the Swag Bag which is $10 and you get the adorable candy heart pj pants that I'm wearing in the top picture. They are super soft and have your monogram in white script. I've been living in them the past few days!

I get so excited to see what will come in my Monobox each month and the best part is the personalization. You definitely need to check it out! 



Wishing you the best week! 









American Coastal Apparel


I can't believe this weekend is already Labor Day weekend! As this summer comes to an end it makes me crave the sunshine even more. A couple weekends ago, I went to the lake by my parents house to style these preppy looks from American Coastal Apparel. I am a preppy girl at heart so I love a good navy and pink pairing!

American Coastal Apparel was created by college students who started this company in high school. Being married to someone who also followed their dreams by starting a small business, I always love supporting them! The best part about their company is they donate a portion of their sales to the Surfrider Foundation. The Surfrider Foundation is an organization that works to protect the oceans and beaches by cleaning up the shorelines. So it's definitely a win win to shop with them!


Here I've styled three different products of theirs: Original Sailboat Long Sleeve TeeOriginal Sailboat Crewneck, and a Nautical Logo Tee. Of course I had to pair them with some classic boat shoes, a windbreaker and jean shorts.










We're off to Florida tomorrow so I hope you guys have a fun labor day weekend!
Be sure to check out American Coastal Apparel on Instagram to see all their latest arrivals!

Marleylilly

Marleylilly has to be one of my all time favorite places to shop for monograms. I have been a fan and customer for years! So this collaboration with them is super exciting for me!

I picked out a few things from them to style, this y'all pullover and this monogrammed quilted quarter zip. The y'all pullover was a must because I always pretend I'm from the south. I literally think I belong there! It's a fun graphic complete with little elbow patches, plus navy and coral give your fall wardrobe a pop of color. Here I've paired it with ripped jeans and booties. You could also wear this as a tailgate outfit with some slip ons! 






The monogrammed quilted quarter zip is the ultimate Marleylilly staple. It comes in many different colors to choose from. I love the quilted detailing and I got a large to wear oversized this fall with leggings. I got married last summer so having my new monogram is still pretty exciting! Here I've paired this zip with ripped jeans, booties and a blanket scarf. But it would look super cute with liquid leather leggings as well! Also, how much do you love this pink wall?! I literally found it when I dropped Remi off for an appointment at the Animal Rescue league. 











Monograms are the perfect preppy staple to any wardrobe. I love adding them whenever I can! Right now Marleylilly is have a Fall Flash Sale. These are some of my favorites: 













What are your favorite monogrammed pieces?

Have a Happy Monday!
