Monograms with Marley Lilly

VEST | SWEATER | DENIM | SNEAKERS

Have you even heard of monograms if you haven’t heard of Marley Lilly? I was so excited to have the opportunity to partner with one of my favorite brands, and kick off the start of fall. Their monogrammed pieces have always been on my radar, and I’ve admired their social and website content for as long as I can remember.

It’s moments like these where I’m so glad I took the leap to start blogging. When you get to work with a company you’ve followed since you started out, is pretty cool. But enough about me, and more about them. The Marley Lilly brand is literally everything that seems and more. It’s a classic, girly, and sophisticated company that makes the coolest customized gifts. You can find anything from monogrammed jewelry to bags, clothing, shoes, and accessories.

When I opened my perfectly wrapped Marley Lilly box in the mail, I was so happy with how my Monogrammed Reversible Vest turned out. Not only is this vest a true fall staple, it’s something I can wear time and time again, and style it totally different each time.

Aside from this awesome new vest, I’ve already made a Christmas list full of stocking stuffer ideas for Santa. I can’t wait to see what I find next with my friends at Marley Lilly.

L’ Amour

L’ AMOUR TEE | DENIM | SNEAKERS | HAT

L’ AMOUR! I am seriously in love with this cute, cropped graphic tee. For UNDER $10 it was probably one of the easiest purchases I’ve made in a long time. And yes, I have on acid wash jeans. I’m hoping for a come back of the acid wash trend, so let’s see how well this goes. Together this look is easily a casual favorite of mine. L’ Amour paris and all of you!

Early Fall Layers

DENIM JACKET | DRESS | SNEAKERS

I am beyond ready for fall style, so today I’m sharing how to create early fall layers. A light denim jacket is the best piece to layer with, and it goes with just about anything. Another must have fall item is a t-shirt dress. They are casual, fun, and pair with sneakers or booties. Combining the two pieces makes for the perfect start of fall look. Everything pictured here is affordable and versatile for every day wear.

Layered Stripe Top

LAYERED STRIPE TOP | DENIM | EARRINGS

Most mornings look just like this, but even more chaotic. It’s a routine I have come far too familiar with. I typically start the day hitting the snooze button for a solid two hours. By the time I actually get up, I race around the house, feeding the animals, applying my make up, digging for something to wear, and tossing my hair into a bun. Honestly, this is pretty good for the whole 45 minutes I gave myself to complete this look. Sometimes I even forget mascara, and when you aren’t wearing eye liner, boy is it scary.

Needless to say I am far from perfect, especially in the mornings. This week I’ve tested myself by getting up when I would normally hit snooze. It’s time to make the most of my mornings. No wonder people get so much shit done bright and early. The truth is, I kind of like it. I intend to make a habit of this, giving myself enough time to start the day with a positive outlook, and a full (and awake) heart.
