Hey everyone! Ohio has been hit with a little bit of cold weather this past weekend and I am absolutely loving it, I don't want it to end! It has officially gotten me in the mood for Fall and I can't wait till we are officially in season. I'm looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch, drinking lots of pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking and so many other Fall adventures. This is my last Fall at home for a few years since I'll be in Virginia at College next Fall so I want to make the most of it! That being said, I've been shopping for my Fall wardrobe to wear lots of cute outfits on my adventures. Currently, I have a few I definitely have my eye on that I can't wait to share!

1.  J. Crew had this skirt last year and I fell in love with it but it sold out so quickly so I was ecstatic to see it again this year. It is the perfect skirt for thanksgiving! I actually tried it on yesterday at J. Crew Factory and I love it but it does look a little bulky (maybe thats just me though) so I'm undecided on size, currently debating between a 2 and a 0.

2.  Okay, I am obsessed with these. 110% obsessed! These Chanel dupes are perfect for so many different seasons, they are definitely at the top of my to buy list. Pair them with some denim or an LBD and you're set!

3.  I actually bought this sweater a couple years ago and wore it constantly. It was such a staple in my closet but then it disappeared and I have no idea where it went. Luckily, I found it on the H&M website the other day and its under $15 so I will definitely be buying it, perfect to pair with the ruffle skirt or Chanel dupes!

4.  I've been in search of a trench coat that isn't too expensive and is what I'm looking for and this is exactly what I want. It will match plenty and can be worn in the spring as well. It won't wrinkle easy and isn't too much of a clothing material that it is a coat material. Will for sure wear this one often!

5.  I've had these jeans on my to buy list for forever and I still haven't pulled the trigger! It's just so hard for me to spend that much on jeans but I know they're definitely worth it. Perfect for Fall!

6.  This is the cutest little hair piece, helps to dress an outfit up and make it all the more cuter. Not only is it perfect for the Fall season but also the Winter season and it comes in two other colors!

7.  J. Crew Factory had this sweater last year and I wore it on Thanksgiving. I love this one because the material is lighter which makes it a lot softer and easier to wear with different things. I can definitely see myself wearing this one on Thanksgiving with the ruffle skirt.

8.  I am always into pajamas, especially striped ones! These are so cute and I love the comfy material they are. 

9.  The cutest watch! I love the detail on this watch but also the shape, it's not your typical Kate Spade watch and I love that. I lost my old Kate Spade watch when I was back in DC in April so this is a great replacement.

10.  Tortoise is always a great way to go for hair pieces and this one is no exception. I love the thick style of it and it's great to wear with a trench coat and sweater.

11.  Someone needs to cut me off from buying too much pink because it's a little bit of a problem. This pink sweater blazer is so cute and needs a place in my closet. It's so comfy and light, so great for dressing up or down.

Hey friends! So glad to publish another 'Currently Coveting' post. I absolutely love writing these and sharing all my current favorites, goes to show just how much I shop online! I've bene loving a lot of pink lately. Not sure if its because I'm about to go back to blonde and I'm just really feeling the whole legally blonde theme or what but it's definitely been in lots of my favorites lately. Like I can't get over how cute these Tory Burch sneakers are, seriously, so cute! I love them for Spring & Summer but also to wear in the fall to add pops of color. And I can't get over the pink gingham tank, it's all my favorite styles in one and it's pink! I'm also heading to Charleston next week and since I'll be by the beach, I think it's only acceptable to have a SEA sweater right? This one from Loft is so classic and it's 50% off right now, it doesn't get better than that! Also can't get over the button down jeans, they are incredible. I tried them on at J. Crew a few months ago and clearly they were that amazing if I'm still talking about them, right?! Definitely buying them for fall! And my all time favorite, the button down top from Carolina Clothing Company, every detail is gorgeous. From the bell sleeves to the stripes to the ruffle collar, what's not to love? And you can get 10% off with code PrettyInPearls10! This weeks favorites are definitely in my to buy list because there is so many good deals and all so versatile! Enjoy!

Happy Fourth of July!

Hey everyone! I can't believe its already the Fourth of July, one of my favorite holidays! I always love spending the day with family and enjoying the day off. This past weekend I had some friends over for a picnic to celebrate the holiday and it was so much fun! I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen for quite a while so I really loved that. We had so much delicious food and I'm sharing some of my favorite recipe from it below as well as some pictures!

Recipes: Cauliflower Broccoli Salad, Berry Cake, Lemon Custard, Lavender Lemonade

For the Fourth of July I wore one of my new favorite tops I got from Lauren James along with the cutest pair of white denim shorts from Free People. I can't recommend Free People shorts enough, they are so comfortable, not too tight and always look so cute! I paired it with my new straw bag I got along with a festive glasses necklace and my favorite white jack rogers. Enjoy!

Summer Dresses & Summer Florals

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic summer, I know I am! While I've been working more lately, I've still been setting time aside to have fun, something I regretted not doing last summer. The other day I wore this dress from Kiel James Patrick and it's quickly becoming my favorite dress! It is so comfortable and flattering and has the cutest little details like the anchor detailed buttons and ruffle collar. I paired it with this purse I bought recently from Shein for under $25, such a good deal! I have been wanting one for forever and I couldn't pass it up for such a great price. I wore my white jack rogers which I've been wearing a lot lately along with my favorite Kate Spade sunnies. I love how classic and simple this look is for summer time and I can't wait to wear this dress in the fall with some loafers! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I have been so out of it lately and I think it's due to the drastic changes in weather we've been having here in Ohio. One day its 95 and super sunny and the next day we're having complete thunderstorms and then its 70 and cloudy. I'm finally getting back up to speed and with these rainy days I've been writing some blog posts. I love online shopping (but really, who doesn't?!) so I thought I would start a new series on the blog called Currently Coveting with lots of things I've seen online that I've been eyeing or I recently purchased. I want to try and do this every week or every two weeks, we'll just have to see how it all works out. Hopefully you like the first one, enjoy!

Strolling in Eyelet

Hey Everyone! This past weekend I took a trip to Mackinac Island for the first time with my grandpa, cousin and aunt! The weather in Ohio has been so hot so it was nice to get away to some nice cool weather. Mackinac Island is located in Michigan along right in Lake Huron and is one of the prettiest and unique places I've ever been! I'm working on a recap post of my trip and I can't wait to share it! Since the weather was in the 50's to mid 60's, I opted for wearing some of my favorite outfits for Spring weather. On our last day, we decided to see some of our favorite spots before leaving including some of the shops, the Grand Hotel (which is absolutely gorgeous!), and we went on a small bike ride! The weather was so incredible and it was the perfect way to end the trip.

I wore my favorite Lilly skort that is so comfortable with a scallop camisole from J. Crew Factory. This camisole is one of my favorite spring and summer staples because it goes with all my favorite shorts and can be dressed up or down. I paired it with a denim jacket from J. Crew factory a few years back (linked an identical one from madewell!) since the weather had a little chill to it. And of course since I dockside, I had to wear my favorite KJP jewelry including my favorite necklace, gold rope anchor bracelet and Atlantic pearl bracelet in Navy! To top off the outfit I wore my favorite statement sunglasses from Kate Spade and the cutest pair of bow shoes from Target that are under $25! Enjoy!

So excited to find the market on the island had my favorite ginger ale! And how cute are these shoes?!

Jewelry That Means Something

While I love all jewelry, I've always been more inclined to buy jewelry that has meaning to it or helps a certain cause. It's such a great feeling to know what because of your purchase, you're making a huge difference in someone else's life. Here's a few of my favorites that I've found recently! Enjoy!

1. The starfish project has lots of beautiful jewelry, this piece here is one of my favorites. The starfish project helps women escape human trafficking and provides these women opportunities through care programs. These women make the jewelry and provide them with training, shelter, healthcare, counseling etc. It's such an amazing organization and they do so many amazing things!

Katherine Gold & Pearl Necklace

2. This Tory Burch Foundation bracelet is geared towards embracing ambition for women. All proceeds of the bracelet purchased go towards the Tory Burch Foundation which empowers female entrepreneurs by giving them the resources to succeed. It's not every day that you find a designer brand with jewelry like this that means so much so its definitely one to check out!

Embrace Ambition Bracelet

3.  I love this bracelet by Alex & And because 20% of each purchase is donated to UNICEF. This is one of the many bracelets they make that a portion of the money made is donated to different charities. It's nice to see a large brand like Alex & Ani using their large popularity for good!

Alex & Ani Girl Power

4. This wraparound ring is handcrafted in India and each one is unique in color and style. All proceeds of the ring is donated to World Vision to help children in need.

5. Akola has some of the most amazing pieces of jewelry and all of the necklaces have a different story. These earrings are one of my favorite pieces from them. All of the proceeds go towards women in disadvantaged communities and help them to make a positive difference through training, education and holistic care.

Kyra Earrings

6. The survivor bangle is my favorite piece of jewelry I own and I am always getting questions about where I got it. Every time someone asks me where I get it, it's a great feeling to not only be able to tell them where it's from but the story behind it. Kim Corban is a rape survivor who shares her story across college campuses to raise awareness and this bracelet was created to honor her and the lives she's changed. All proceeds go to benefit Kimberly's work to raise awareness about sexual assault.

I hope that you found some new favorite jewelry pieces and this post and inspire you to buy more jewelry with meaning! I would love to know what jewelry you have that has a positive meaning!

Pretty in Pink

Hey everyone! I can't wait for Spring and Summer, there has been some really great days where the weather has been in the mid 60's! It's probably no secret that pink is my favorite color so to get into a spring shopping mode, I put together some of my favorite pink clothing and accessories to buy for spring and summer! Enjoy!

1. Trench Coat - I have been eyeing this coat since the moment I saw it. I have been wanting a trench coat so you can imagine my excitement when I saw a pink trench coat! I bought it this past weekend and I can already tell its going to be one of my favorite purchases for the Spring.

2. Pearl Ribbon Necklace - Everyone loves to add a pop of pearls to their outfits and what better way to do it than with this cute necklace! I love how it's not your typical necklace but that it has the cutest pink ribbon detailing.

3. Crossbody Purse - Whenever I'm shopping for a purse, I always tend to gravitate to whichever one is closest to a blush pink. And, that's exactly what happened with this one. I absolutely love the color and how cute is that tassel!

4. Bow Top - I am completely and utterly obsessed with this top. It has the classiest little bow and that neckline, how can you not love it?! It's the perfect top for easter or just for a casual spring or summer outfit!

5. Sneakers - These sneakers are definitely out of my price range but they are so cute (here's a similar, more affordable pair). I love the ruffle detailing and its the perfect shade of pink for every outfit.

6. Scallop Top - This top is so simple yet so classy and cute. I love the scallop detailing and the color is gorgeous! It's great to wear under a denim jacket in the spring or with some chino shorts in the summer!

7. Bikini - I'm not a huge bikini person but whats not to love about this one? I love the cross back detail and how simple it is yet still super cute. It's perfect for summer!

8. Pearl Drop Earrings - These earrings are absolutely gorgeous and a must have for any jewelry collection. I absolutely love the pink pearls along with the gold, definitely on my to buy list!

9. Nail Polish - I think this nail polish color is definitely one of the more popular ones by ESSIE. It's called Fiji and it's my go to color during every season from fall to spring to summer to winter. Definitely the perfect shade of pink and matches everything so no worrying about if your nail polish might clash with your outfit!

10. Chino Shorts - What can I say? Chinos are a classic! So why not get them in pink? They're perfect for any outfit and will definitely add some color to your outfit!

11. Jack Rogers Sandals - I have these in white and they are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. When I saw them in Pink, I was in love! The pink is perfect too because it isn't too bright and it isn't too vibrant!

12. Earrings - I love these earrings from J. Crew because they are so unique. The detail is so pretty and how can you not love the color? They are perfect to add to an outfit and really make it pop!

13. Tote -  I am completely obsessed with this tote! I use my long champ religiously for school and whenever I need to go somewhere so this tote would be the perfect replacement. The size is great and you can throw whatever you need to in it and run!

14. Blazer - Okay but who doesn't want a pink blazer to add to their closet? This one is not only an affordable option but also a super cute one! It'd look perfect with a pair of white jeans or a cute pair of chino pants!

15. Bracelet - This bracelet is so cute and is perfect to match any outfit. The pink detailing is perfect and would go great with the Jewelry I usually wear.

Cute & Comfy: Clothes for at Home

Hey everyone! If you're like me, whenever you get dressed and go out, you can't wait to get home and throw on your favorite pair of sweatpants and comfy tee. (Not going to lie, that's exactly what I'm wearing as I write this!) One thing that I try to commit to is wearing clothes that are not only comfortable but also cute since it just makes me feel better in general. Granted, when I go shopping I'm not necessarily looking for clothes to wear at home but every now and then I find a great deal on sale and get it to wear at home. The good thing is that you don't have to wear these pieces solely at home, you can wear them on a quick trip to the grocery store, to class, to work out, etc., theres lots of different option! I went through some of my favorite brands for comfortable clothing and put together some of my favorite pieces that are not only comfy but cute. Enjoy!

5 Must-Have Wardrobe Prints for Spring

Hey everyone! I am definitely struggling from a severe case of Spring Fever, I just can't get over it! The weather in Ohio has been all over the place but every now and then we've been getting weather in the 50's and it feels so nice! I can't wait for the Spring where the weather will consistently be like that. That being said, I put together 5 of my favorite prints/trends for the Springtime so that you can add some fun prints and colors to your closet! Enjoy!

Snow Day

Hey everyone! I woke up this morning and was so shocked by how much it was snowing. In fact, it's still snowing as I type this! I feel like this is the first time that we've gotten a lot of snow in Ohio in a couple of years. I recently got a puffer coat from J. Crew Factory and was so excited to finally have a chance to wear it out in the snow. Along with my coat I wore a grey sweater from GAP underneath and then paired it with a pair of grey earmuffs and a scarf from old navy. I was so excited when I found my gloves at Anthropologie because they match my earmuffs perfectly! I also wore my green Hunter boots along with some fleece Hunter boot socks. We recently got an English Shepherd (her name is Sulwen) and since we got her she's gotten so big! I went outside and played with her and she had SO much fun in the snow! The weather has been so cold lately so it was the perfect outfit to get bundled up in to go out! Enjoy!
