Why I’m Stepping Away From Fast Fashion

November 20, 2019 by Jayme No Comments

Hey y’all! Long time, no blog lol. Well, it’s actually only been a week… But I’ve been on top of blogging lately so a week has felt like forever. If you haven’t seen on Instagram, I was on a trip over the weekend with Sailor-Sailor! Head over to my Instagram story highlights titled “Sailor-Sailor” to check out fun moments from the weekend.

P.S. I’m also doing a giveaway with them and some other influencers, so be sure to check that out over there as well!

Today’s blog post is a bit different than most; I’m writing something that I feel is a little more personal. I’ve been on a journey of discovering my personal style over the past few years, and I’m finally realizing how I want to present myself visually and what would be helpful to achieve the look I want.

As the title suggests, I’ve decided to make an effort to step away from fast fashion. If you don’t know what that means, the Google definition is, “Inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends.”

10 Black Watch Pieces You Need This Season – Men & Women 2019

November 11, 2019 by Jayme No Comments

Hey y’all! I am so excited for today’s post because it’s all about black watch plaid! Y’all may already know I am all about that plaid life, especially during the fall and winter. Some people see black watch as more of a holiday print, but I personally think it’s a great print that can transition from fall to winter And unlike tartan plaid, you can wear it before and after Christmas!

Perhaps my love of plaid stems from going to private school most of my life; I wore uniforms from 3rd grade on. My elementary school had us wear a hunter plaid print and in high school we wore none other than black watch, so there’s definitely a sweet spot in my heart lol.

There are so many stores that have great black watch pieces out right now and I’m excited to share them with y’all! I’m also excited to include some men’s pieces in this post. The best part about holiday plaids is that you know year after year they will be in style! So you may want to consider investing in a timeless piece.

September 10, 2019 by Jayme No Comments

Hi y’all! Today I am back with a highly requested post – my Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale (APS) haul for September 2019! If you haven’t checked it out yet, APS is still going on until 11:59 PM TOMORROW (9/11) and you can shop the sale HERE.

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Tips & Tricks – September 2019

September 5, 2019 by Jayme No Comments

Hi y’all!

In case you missed my Instagram post talking about it, LILLY PULITZER’S AFTER PARTY SALE DATES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED! For those of you who aren’t familiar, Lilly Pulitzer holds APS (After Party Sale) twice a year, once in January and once in late summer (August-September depending on the year). This is the ONLY TIME Lilly offers sales on their website and in stores; while some stores offer a sale rack, others do not. Needless to say, this is the time to shop and get great deals! I even like to use this sale to kick off Christmas shopping for some of my loved ones.

While sale prices will vary, you can typically score tops for under $20, dresses as low as $30, and I’ve even managed to get men’s shorts in APS for $35. If you’re curious to see what I’ve snagged the past two APS, see my winter haul HERE (not gonna lie, it was disappointing) and my haul from last summer HERE. Today I’ll be sharing some tips for both in-store and online shoppers. I’ve been into Lilly for about 8 years now and my first APS in store was only 2 years ago! While I personally prefer shopping in store, I understand it isn’t an option for everyone due to location and other factors.

So let’s get into the details!

Fall Trends For Less 2019 – Camo For Under $50

August 20, 2019 by Jayme No Comments

Hey y’all! Welcome back to my blog! This is my third installment in my Fall Trends For Less series. If you haven’t checked out my past posts on leopard print and hair accessories, make sure you do that!

Today’s post is about the camo trend. I know, this trend is not for everyone. I was not on board with camo AT ALL until last year. I think since I was raised somewhere that there was a lot of hunting, fishing, and farming, camo wasn’t seen as a fashion statement. However, I do think it can be done the right way and look super cute for fall.

As always, I made sure to link everything if you’re interested 😉
