A Little Throw Back Thursday

 I've been blogging for awhile now, most posts feature my personal opinions of products or things I've been liking, but no posts really feature the blogger behind it all..

So I figured now would be a good time to put a face to the name!

I'm a recent high school grad, and soon to be freshmen in college. I started this blog as a hobby, hoping to share my life, thoughts and experiences with anyone willing to take the time to read my blog.

I hope you'll subscribe and stay awhile!

 

 So on this throw back Thursday, let's just start with the fact that I miss my long hair! I cut my hair back in March and am now in the process of growing it back out. Patience is a virtue my friends.

 

These pictures were taken last year while we were up in Cooperstown, NY (most commonly known as the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame!) visiting some family.

Next to our hotel was a beautiful sunflower patch so my mom and I snuck over to take some pictures! We weren't the only ones that loved the sunflowers...the bees were everywhere! But we managed to get a few pictures and avoid the bees!

Now for my very casual outfit deets: Shirt- Old Navy, Jeans- Levis, Headband- Forever21 Shoes- Rainbow Flip Flops (not pictured)

 

 

And lastly, if you ever find yourself in Cooperstown, make sure to head over to the Fly Creek Cider Mill to get fresh apple cider, apple pie and lots of other goodies!

Another family favorite, Sal's Pizza down on Main Street near the Hall of Fame. We have to make at least one stop for pizza..okay maybe more like two or three!

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Rainy Day Wishlist

Let me just fill you in, it has rained here in the south pretty much everyday in July.

This inspired me to share my rainy day wishlist with you.

& boy, do I wish I had these things over this past month!

With that being said, I'd much rather it rain everyday than be scorching hot, I'm talking mid 90's with a heat index of 100. That's the melt your makeup off your face, need water as soon as you step foot outside kind of heat that sucks the life right out of you.

I love these Sperry Top-Sider 'Pelican Too' Rainboots. They have a fun nautical pattern that I can't resist!

 

For a more affordable option, I really adore these Merona Zelene Rainboots in Berry from Target.

 

Now on to some rain jackets. As a soon to be freshmen in college, I'm sure a cute rain jacket will come in handy on those rainy walks to class.

 

I actually have this Guide Series Windstream Jacket from Gander Mtn in Pink.

It is touted as a windbreaker, but doubles as a rain jacket since it is water resistant. It is majorly affordable, works well and I highly recommend it! Plus, you could get it monogrammed, and make it look even more girly!

 

Lastly, we can't forget an umbrella. Rainy days won't stand a chance with rainboots, a rain jacket and an umbrella!

 

I am in LOVE with Lilly Pulitzer umbrellas. They make a rainy day less dreary and more cheery. (so cheesy, yet so true) You just can't go wrong with these stylish umbrellas, and did I mention they come in multiple patterns?

 

I hope you enjoyed my rainy day wishlist, maybe it will inspire you to...

Go run through some puddles and dance in the rain!
