Kiel James Patrick

This summer I have developed a love for nautical accessories, anything from starfish necklaces, clam earrings, and rope flip flops. The lovely products by Kiel James Patrick have only made my love for all things nautical grow! I discovered the brand through Mr. Patrick's tumblr page where I became obsessed with his girlfriend, Sarah Vickers, classic preppy style. Not only am I jealous of this couples amazing clothing collection, but I'm also jealous of their New England lifestyle that I follow on Vickers' blog- Classy Girls Wear Pearls.

KJP has earrings, bracelets, belts, headbands, bow ties and handbags all hand made in Rhode Island. Be sure to check out their website and blogs (links above). Here's just a brief preview of some of their adorable items!

Happy shopping! Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx

Dress for Less: The Navy Polka Dot Dress

So I don't know about y'all, but when I saw Sarah Vickers wearing this adorable navy dress with huge white polka dots, I just HAD to find where she got it. It's from The Island Company (as stated on her blog) and I went to check out their products. Let's just say I love all of their clothes! Especially their dresses and tunics, sooo cute! But unfortunately I am after-all a "poor" college student and can't really afford to drop $165 on a more or less simple dress. Therefore I have gone on a hunt for cheaper alternatives, not having to go anywhere but one of my favorite online stores, ModCloth. If you've never shopped at ModCloth, you should! They have a huge selection of adorable dress, tops and bottoms. They also have a vintage section, but be sure to check it out often because items go fast! Anyways, my sister introduced me to the site and I've been hooked since. They're really flexible about returns and exchanges due to sizes (since they don't have a store front, they understand you haven't tried on the item before!). Also, they ship for free! A huge plus to me. Here are a few alternatives I found all on ModCloth:

Dot You Know the Polka? Dress

$47.99

Among My Piers Dress

$59.99

Hits the Spotlight

$42.99

Too Much Fun in Bubbles

$79.99

Have you ever heard of/shopped from ModCloth? If so, how was your experience with the site?

Happy Shopping y'all!! Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx
