Blue + White For The Home

If you have read my previous posts, you know that I love navy.  I wear it all the time.  Whether I'm going to work, out with friends, committee meetings or simply hanging out at home, I almost always have some hint of navy in my outfit.  Navy never goes out of style and is so versatile.  I love mixing and matching all my clothes to make new combos and having neutral staples like blue and white max it easier to mixup my daily looks.  Blue and white are also perfect for the home.  It never goes out of style and goes with just about anything you want to incorporate.  Whether you're mixing in fall decorations or bright spring colors, you're always safe with blue and white.

I constantly pin just about anything I can find to my blue and white board on Pinterest! 

Here are a few of my favorite's from Pinterest:

My favorite blue & white home accessories. 

Weave Rug // Glass Candle // Table Lamp // Jar Candle // Pitcher
Desk Organizer // Counter Stool // Candle Sticks // Pouf

Do you incorporate blue & white into your home?

5 Things To Do During Allergy & Cold Season

I have been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days.  I was able to power through work Thursday and Friday and I am elated for the long weekend.  Last night after work, I came home and simply relaxed.  It was a nice change of pace after a busy week of traveling, working and Junior League.  Since I have been recovering from a cold, I thought I would put together some tips for what to do when you're feeling a cold coming along.  And, of course, make sure to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer to help avoid any colds coming on. 

Get plenty of rest | This is a given.  When you're rundown, you are more susceptible to getting sick.  It is always important to get plenty of rest, but it is even more important during flu season.  Do not let your immune system get rundown!

Take lots of vitamin c | When you feel those flu symptoms coming on, add a glass of OJ to your morning routine or take vitamin c tablets.  This will help you combat sickness.  

Catch up on your favorite shows | Taking it easy and catching up on some of your favorite shows is a great way to relax and unwind when you're feeling sick.  I love curling up in bed with my iPad and watching Netflix or Amazon Prime shows on a lazy Saturday!

Wear comfy clothes (tee//shorts) | Stay home, don't wear makeup and throw on your favorite comfortable outfit for a day of resting and recouping.  

Stay hydrated | Staying hydrated is always important.  Drinking water is a great way to flush out any sickness that is trying to intrude! 

And of course, a great way to avoid the flu is, of course, getting the shot (ugh... I hate shots!).

Labor Day Weekend Travel Essentials

Last weekend I took a few days off of work for a weekend trip to Louisiana.  It was so fun to spend four days visiting my aunt, uncle and cousins.  It worked out perfectly for me to take two days off of work for my baby cousin's first birthday party.  The trip was great, but too quick!

The Weekender | CB Station Satchel  // Alice D Tote // Boulevard Tote

Makeup Bags | Just Madras Makeup Case // Stephanie Johnson Case // Talley-Ho Hanger Kit

5 Fun Things To Do Labor Day Weekend

One // Wear White | Whether or not you follow the "no white after Labor Day" rule or not, Labor Day Weekend is the last time to pull out your favorite summer look.  I am all about wearing white jeans or skirts after Labor Day, but only if you make it seasonally appropriate.  There is plenty of time during the spring and summer to wear your favorite Lilly top with your white jeans, so once September roles around, it's time to begin transitioning your wardrobe.  Check out my favorite spring/summer fashions.  

Two // Drink Red Sangria | Sangria is such a refreshing summer drink.  Make a pitcher and share with friends for a fun end-of-summer treat.

Three // Host An End-Of-Summer Picnic | Invite your friends over and host an end-of-summer picnic.  Play games, barbecue and start the fall off with a bang! 

Four // Savor Your Favorite Summer Treat | Make your favorite homemade summer treat.  Who doesn't love a refreshing homemade popsicle?  Grab refreshing summer treat and then head outside and enjoy the summer sun! 

Five // Get Organized | Labor Day Weekend means the end of summer and back to all the regular meetings and events the fall and spring will bring.  Whether you're going back-to-school or simply back to your regular routine of events and meetings, post-Labor Day brings a busy fall for all.  Labor Day Weekend is the perfect time to do some pre-fall cleaning and get organized for the busy weeks ahead.  Follow my no more clutter board on Pinterest for all my favorite organization tips and inspiration. 

Oh and don't forget to check out all the great Labor Day Weekend sales!
