Gold by Britt Nicole

Well, as you can probably tell by now, I am a big Britt Nicole fan. So imagine how cool it was for my mom to come home from a trip last year having met Britt's mother! She had so many cool stories to relay to me, and I drank it all up. Britt is definitely one of my favorite artists.

Britt has so many great songs, and the title track of her third album, Gold, is no exception. It's fun and upbeat and motivating... I hope you are inspired by it.

Walk On the Water // Outfit Post

It's Saturday! And I don't know about where you live, but here in Southport, NC, it is also the last day of spring break. Now, I'm home-schooled, but I know this because a) the beach/downtown area is starting to get much more crowded, and b) everyone I know from youth was off this week. :)



Today I'm wearing layered tank tops with a three-quarter length cardi and cuffed skinnies. While I was getting dressed, I just fell into the whole black-and-white thing, which I like, despite the fact that it doesn't do as much for my fair complexion as other colors. The right makeup helps, though.

 

These platform wedges are deceptively taller than they look, and while wedges are supposed to be easy heels to walk in, I still tripped a couple times. [I don't think I'm supposed to tell you that, but it's true! Anyway, I tried to be discreet about it. :) ]

Mom, Jeffrey, and I went to the part of the beach right in front of the Oak Island Lighthouse. It's 143 feet tall! (And yes I had to look that up for posting it on here.) Cool right? I'm thankful my mom drives us all around town to do fun stuff. Hashtag MyFamilyRocks.

One of my favorite quotes by Mother Teresa is, "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And isn't that something we all could be better at? It's such a great opportunity to LOVE others (which is MASSIVELY important!) and it's right at our fingertips, on a regular (if not daily) basis. I know I for one am generally better with other people's little kids than I am with my brother... but I want that to change. And this last picture... this... this is what I want. And it is beautiful.

Still That Girl // Outfit Post

I love how colors work together. Today I'm wearing this bright pink hi-lo shirt from H&M with light blue capris and colorblock wedges-- it's bright and fun and perfect for this warm, sunny spring day.

There are only 2 H&M stores in North Carolina that I know of, and one of them is in Greensboro, where my dad had a business conference a few weeks ago. This top is my first piece from H&M, and I got it for less than fifteen dollars.

I love these earrings, and they just so happen to match my top really well. I wanted to play around with the black and white thing, so... =)










The shoes are originally from JCPenney, but I got them as a gift from my grandmother.

I would say this look is a cross between of girly and trendy. What do you think? And how would you style this shirt? Let me know in the comments.

xoxo,
