What I Got for Christmas 2015!

Hey Preps!
     Let's be totally honest, everyone loves to watch those videos on YouTube of everyone's Christmas gifts. Well, I thought it would be fun to join in, and on my Instagram it seemed like y'all wanted to check out mine! I am so grateful to be able to receive these gifts and I am so grateful for y'all! For Christmas this year, I got so many awesome gifts. First off, I received items from so many preppy brands. For example, Jadelynn Brooke, Kate Spade, J.Crew, Vineyard Vines and others too! It was a very preppy Christmas!


     Santa brought me one of Jadelynn Brooke's adorable sleep shirts. I received the "Party All Night Sleep All Day" pajama shirt. It is super cute, and I absolutely love it. I also got their "Preppy Nation" sweatshirt and the "Where There is Pink, There is a Party" long-sleeved tee. They are absolutely fantastic. I also got a Jadelynn Brooke "Happy" sticker and a "Christmas Happy" drink holder. I received those from Mr. Claus. I also got some adorable Kate Spade items from the jolly man. I got the Kate Spade Penn Valley Amy, striped, cross body purse and the Kate Spade Gold Moon River Bow Earrings. I absolutely love the earrings and purse. They are so cute and I think they go well with anything. Another gift from Kris Kringle, was an Ivory Ella iPhone case. I have a 5s, so I got the Painted White Bamboo Ella Phone Case. I think it is super cool and you can feel where part of the wood was carved. Also from Mr. Kringle, I received an oval, silver, monogrammed ring. If you follow me on Instagram (@socutesoprep) you probably saw it in my post on Christmas. I like it a lot and I plan on wearing it everyday. The last gift from Santa that I will tell you about is my brand new vest. I received the J.Crew Factory Quilted Puffer Vest in Navy Blue. It is seriously one of the cutest vests I have worn. Practically everything goes with it, and it is super cute. From my wonderful grandma and grandpa, I received an adorable Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt. I love it SO much and it is super preppy. I also got a navy monogrammed sweatshirt with the shep shirt and it is so cute. I had both of these on my list if you saw my Christmas wish list post, and I got the exact ones I was wishing for. Also, from my aunt, uncle and cousins, I got a super cute Simply Southern Tervis Tumbler, which I have been using everyday since Christmas. My sister gave me a fabulous layered pendant necklace from Francesca's and some adorable, polka-dotted, J.Crew trouser socks. They go super well with my bean boots and they look so good. They are white with small, black dots, so they are very neutral and go with any outfit. I also got Bath and Body Works, Lush, EOS and Starbucks.
     I hope that your holiday season was great and I hope next year will be just as good as the last. Happy 2016!!

Traveling!

 

Hey Preps!

     Who's excited for Christmas! Right now I am taking an 8 hour road trip to my Grandparents' house. Here's a picture I took (out the window😂). I hope everyone is having a great Winter Break! I just wanted to let you know that I will be out of town and spending time with my family so that is why there may not be many posts this week. I also wanted to apologize about my posting lately. I haven't been posting lately because I was sick for awhile and then I had lots of homework and cheer practices. That's all for now! Love y'all! 

Lazy Preppy Days!

Hey Preps!

     Some days when you first wake up and think about what you're going to wear is dreadful. You immediately think, "ugh... I have to look nice today too? I don't feel like it." So you decide to wear t-shirt  and yoga pants. No. If you're a girl working so hard to have a preppy style you're about to slaughter your hard work if you wear something strange. Here are a couple ways to stay comfy and still look cute.

     Remember, take the weather under consideration. I have some outfit ideas for all seasons, so get ready.

Summer:

     Obviously you're not going to dress super cute during the summer because hopefully you will be swimming and having a great time with the seasonal activities. But let's be honest, you're bound to hang out with friends inside the air-conditioned house most of the time. You will of course be taking pictures for social media later, so you have to look cute. Here's an idea, tank top and shorts. You can wear an adorable monogrammed tank and denim shorts with Rainbow's. Rainbow's are super comfortable and stylish. Monogrammed tank tops are ADORABLE and affordable. They come in so many summery colors and they look so cute on everybody. Another outfit idea is a short-sleeved, navy, Vineyard Vines tee, white shorts and Jack Rogers. I think that the Vineyard Vines tees are super cute and comfortable. White shorts are just a basic necessity that every girl needs in the Summer. Lastly, Jack Rogers are great for any preppy girl. Everyone should have a good pair of sandals during the summer for outfits like these, or when you go out to dinner and wear a dress. I think sandals are definitely a go to. 

Fall:

     Aaahh. The stress of Fall. School's starting back up again and you HAVE to own the best wardrobe. You want to walk into school and have everyone compliment your outfit. At least that's what is going through my mind when I am back to school shopping. Yet you still have those lazy days. Here are the outfits I came up with. First, a plain colored v-neck and light wash jeans, that are rolled up at the bottom with Jack Rogers. It looks so cute and stylish. You don't have to wear jewelry but it is definitely an option. Another Fall outfit idea would be to wear a 3/4 sleeve top and rolled, light jeans with Rainbow's Flip Flops. I think that since during Autumn it is cooler in the morning and then burning up in the afternoon, the 3/4 sleeves is a good idea.

Winter:

     Where I live, it is supposed to be in the 70°s on Christmas. :( I don't understand! Isn't Winter supposed to be cold? Usually we have colder Winters but hey I guess I am not complaining, we could have three feet of snow. Anyways, outfit ideas. For some good Winter outfits, I like the idea of vests and cozy sweaters. Here's an idea, wear a Vineyard Vines tee or a Simply Southern tee and a fantastic Jadelynn Brooke sweatshirt with dark jeans and Bean Boots. BAM! Super cute! You could also switch the jeans to leggings but it is your choice. Another outfit idea would be a super soft and cozy sweater from Gap with leggings and cute Bean Boot socks from J.Crew along with Bean Boots. That would be a super cute outfit and very comfortable.

Spring:

     Spring is such a great season, flowers blooming, baby ducks and rabbits everywhere and the weather is perfect. I like to pair shirts with cardigans because it is still cool out. Here are some great ideas I came up with. First, a navy v-neck and a patterned cardigan with jeans and white Converse. Another idea is a short-sleeved Simply Southern shirt or a monogrammed Frocket with jeans and white Converse or Sanuks. I think that outfit would be super cute and comfy. I like all of these outfit choices and I would definitely wear them. Lots of these brands can be expensive so please don't think you have to wear these to be preppy. I know that Sperry has a cheaper alternative for Bean Boots and I don't think Sanuks are too expensive but I am not sure. I hope these gave you some great inspiration for your seasonal outfits! Love y'all so much!

     

Designed Cardigans/Vests!

Hey Preps!

     I love wearing designed vests and cardigans. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen me wear my pink and navy flowered vest. I received it for Christmas last year, from Lands End. It is so cute and easy to style. I like to wear a plain sweater with the lace trim at the bottom. I think those sweaters go great with the vest. Since I love wearing designed outer layers, I have some cute designed cardigans too. I have a polka-dotted one, and some cute random patterned ones. I like to wear plain colored v-necks with those. I have a navy one and a maroon v-neck. I think that these outfits are perfect for a simple day at school. When you wear a vest, it looks like you're trying to look very nice and preppy, even when you're not. If you don't feel like putting on lots of pearls and jewelry but still want to look nice, vests and cardigans are definitely a go to.

Bean Boots!

Hey Preps!

     I just received my bean boots two weeks ago! I love them so much and they go well with everything! I like to wear taller socks with them and they peek out at the perfect height! I think they look great with any outfit and they add a pop of preppy to anything you wear. One bad thing about them is that they take a long time to finally ship and arrive. Other than that, they are very cute. I like them a lot, and I hope that y'all can find some!

Patagonias!

Hey Preps!

     I have been loving Patagonias! They are so cute and easy to throw on. Whether it is a Patagonia vest, jacket or pullover, they look great on anybody and everybody. I think they are definitely a go to.

Shep Shirts!

Hey Preps!
     I have been seriously loving Vineyard Vines. They have a great Christmas section on their website. I am asking for one of their most popular items. Shep Shirts. When I had to make my Christmas list, these immediately popped into my mind. I raced to their website and typed in Shep Shirts. They have a great variety, but the one I am asking for is the Dot Stripe Shep Shirt. It is currently out of stock, but surely you can get it after the holidays. I think that shep shirts are great for lazy days at school, but if you still want to be your preppy self. They are very cozy and look great on everyone. If you want one, add it to your Christmas list, or head on over right now!

Puravida Bracelets!

Hey Preps!
     I have noticed so many people at my school wearing these very neat-looking bracelets. I thought they looked cool so during the first few weeks of school, I asked my friend what they were called. She said, "Oh! My sister has one of those and I really want one. They are called Puravida bracelets." So during study hall, we had nothing better to do, so we looked up the website. I found so many cute ones and made a list. Obviously I didn't receive all of them since the list was so long, but I recently bought two. I went to this adorable store called Lou Lou's and they had a lot there. I got "Toes in the Sand" and "Dreaming in Color." They are only five dollars and they are so cute. One of the best parts about them is that on their website they have a whole page for charities. They have certain colored bracelets that represent different charities and they donate the proceeds of that bracelet to the charity. They have so many designs and they are all at great prices. Some of them have intricate beading so they're a little more expensive, but nothing crazy. I like these bracelets a lot and I definitely recommend them. They are such great quality and they look so cool. If you are interested in purchasing one, here is the link to their website.
