Sincerely Silver's Coordinates Bracelets

View fullsize

Fun fact! We have a week until Christmas. Yes, I’m just as surprised as you are. Yes, I am also scrambling to get last-minute gifts because even though I’ve been alive for twenty-two Christmases and should know better by now, I haven’t bought anything. But it’s not because I’m lazy! 

I’m quite the perfectionist, and I take great pride in getting the best gifts for my family and friends. This results in paralyzing fear that my gifts won’t be cool or unique enough for the people I love. Isn’t that silly? But I’ll never learn. 

I’m the type of person who likes to get meaningful gifts that are special to me and that person’s relationship. I mean, who doesn’t? I just take it a little overboard. I love homemade gifts that I can put my entire soul into (or at least most of my soul since I’m usually in a rush).

So, if you’re like me, you’re probably freaking out a bit right now. But never fear! I have an amazingly special gift idea for you that won’t drive you absolutely insane. Enter, Sincerely Silver’s Coordinates Jewelry! 

Every relationship has a special place, be it where you and your significant other met, where you and your best friend took a special trip, or just somewhere you and your siblings like to escape to. When Sincerely Silver asked what I wanted on the coordinates bracelet they were nice enough to send me, I asked for the place my dad and I like to venture to every Sunday to clear our heads. Every time I wear my bracelet, I’m reminded of the smell of motorcycle gas and the heart-to-hearts my dad and I share while staring at the most beautiful waterfront views.

Sincerely Silver has so many different styles of bracelets, necklaces, and rings to choose from. They even have a necklace shaped like the state of California. You’re bound to find the perfect gift for that last person on your list, and you don’t even have to buy a machine and learn how to engrave jewelry the night before Christmas. Not that I’ve ever considered that in a pinch… 

And regardless of the memory attached to the piece, Sincerely Silver’s jewelry is absolutely stunning. My coordinates bracelet fits right in with my little stack of silver bracelets, and always puts a smile on my face. 

Plus, as a Christmas present from me, you can use the code SINCERELY15 for 15% off your order!

Hi hi! I can’t believe it’s already July. It feels like this summer is flying by and I’m not about it :( Honestly though, we all know I’ll be complaining about how hot it is in about two weeks. 

Here’s another great summer look that I like to wear when it’s hot but I need to look nice! I got this dress when I interned for Revelry Greek a couple years ago. I’m just digging up all of my old companies lately, aren’t I? Unfortunately, Revelry doesn’t make sorority wear anymore, but I’ve always loooved this dress. It’s so simple and classy. The fabric is a little heavy, but because the dress itself is so minimal and flowy, it keeps me really cool when it’s sweltering out.

I wore these adorable silver sandals that I’ve had for literal ages, which I completely expected to clash with the grey in the dress, but they actually complemented each other so well! I wore my Sunice sunglasses (switching it up with The Club this time around!) and Katy Perry’s INDI, one of my favorite perfumes.

Everyone needs a good summer dress! I definitely need to add some more to my closet. Comment your favorite stores to shop for them and I’ll check them out!

Happy Monday! It’s a brand new week, which means a week full of new opportunities! I know I keep saying it, but I’m seriously so happy it’s summer. Life is so much more fun when the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and everyone has a bit less on their plates.

A couple weeks ago, my sorority had their Spring Formal! I love Formal because everyone gets extra gorgeous and it honestly makes me cry. This year’s theme was Old Hollywood, so everyone was looking so classically beautiful.

As soon as I got word of the theme, I thought of this dress. I saw it in the Prom issue of Seventeen a couple years back and fell in love. I bought it immediately, even though the only one left was two sizes too big and unable to be altered or returned! I ended up wearing it to my Junior Prom, even though it was a little big, and wore it again for my cousin’s wedding a couple years ago. Now that I’ve gained some weight and height, the dress fits me perfectly! I’m so happy I got to wear it again. I genuinely feel like a princess in this dress.

My shoes are also another blast from the past! I wore these to two Proms with a different dress. I loved them as soon as I saw them because they’re beautiful, classy, and dressy, but they’re not heels! I have knee problems, and heels really irritate them, so I try to go for classier flats. These are super comfy, and I don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort.

I kept my hair simple, just straightening it (it looked better before Formal, I took this pic after I got home!), and my makeup relatively simple, but glamorous. I contoured a lot more than usual, took extra time on my sparkly eye shadow, and bought a new lip crayon that I’ll post about soon! Spoiler alert: I’m obsessed.

Overall, the night was amazing! I had such a great time from beginning to end. This was the first year I was able to bring my boyfriend instead of just a date! He’s amazing and made the night twenty times better. Have you been to any ~fancy~ events recently? Let me know in the comments!
