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: Lilly Pulitzer!

Happy Friday bloggers! I figured since I'm going to be out of town all next week for the 4th of July, I should do a blog post before I depart!  I can't believe my summer is nearly half over already, the fall is creeping closer than I want it to! This past week or so has been really slow at work, so I decided to do some research/hunting for Lilly Pulitzer look-a-like dresses! Although I believe nothing is as wonderful as a real Lilly printed dress, I do think you can get some of the solid dresses look with cheaper alternatives (although I'm guilty to owning a solid black and solid white Lilly dresses...) Here are some cheap but still cute alternatives I found:
