The truth about summer
The first month of summer.
Sunshine, pools, beaches, tans, sleeping in.
Well, that’s what we all anticipate those last week of finals.
But, in reality those summers ended when we turned 16 and finally had to get jobs.
Now summers consist of waking up at 7am or earlier.
Working all day, either for minimum wage or simply for an internship.
I haven’t laid by a pool this summer.
I haven’t gotten even a slight tan.
I slept in twice (woohoo).
Now we long for the day we get to go back to school.
WHAT.
Yes, I want to go back to school.
What happened to summer?
What happened to the most wonderful days?
We grew up.
…
Now we have to find joy in summer again.
Be lazy on days off.
Shop.
Walk in the sun.
Find joy in the little things.
XOXO,

2. Old Navy.
It’s not just your typical stay at home mom store anymore, maybe sometimes. They carry a lot of J.Crew knock-offs. bc who can really afford J.Crew… not this college gal.
3. With that being said, J.Crew specifically J.Crew Factory (bc college duh). I definitely have a preppy style and J.Crew is the epitome of any and all preppy style.
4. Fiore Boutique.
Located in GA & SC. Everything is pretty and preppy and they carry Lilly + bright colors galore. It’s such a fun and lively place to shop with great products.

Beautiful patterns.
Impeccable quality.
