Happy Wednesday y’all! I feel like Wednesday’s creep up on me every single week, but I’m always so glad to see them! Yesterday I started shipping things home and packing things up from my apartment (insert crying emoji here). You guys should have seen me trying to lug a suitcase (filled with dirty clothes because who has time for laundry), a duffle bag and a giant box filled with all of my jewelry (which was nearly 70 lbs!!!). It was easily the hardest thing I’ve done thus far. I currently have all of my clothes packed up except for what I’m going to wear over the next week and the things I have left to shoot for the blog. It’s so sad to think I’m leaving in just a week and a half. I think the only thing holding me together is knowing I’ll be back in September for Fashion Week, December to intern for the winter break (and I cannot wait!), and then moving back here permanently in May!

This dress is easily one of the perfect beach dresses. I wore it for my last round of pictures in the Hampton’s a couple of weekends ago. This dress is from Zaful, but it reminds me of one of those Pinterest-perfect dresses. I love the pink floral print and the way it crosses over the front and has an open back. I don’t own many things cut like this, so I love trying it out and switching things up! This dress definitely isn’t conservative and I would recommend investing in double stick fashion tape, especially if you’re in a windy environment. This dress would be perfect for a night out with a pair of heels, or even better for a bachelorette party-not that I’m thinking of that anytime soon, but every time I log into facebook there’s someone else getting engaged! I had so much fun twirling around and playing in the sand when we were taking these pictures, and lucky for me it was the golden hour and it made me look a lot tanner than I actually am! I was wearing the same Bauble Bar stack that I’ve had on repeat. I love how they have created options for you to purchase stacks altogether instead of buying multiple bracelets! What do y’all think? Have a great day and thanks for reading!
