Taking a step back to look what 2015 brought to this lil ole blog. Who knew I could get so much joy out of creating outfits, photographing them, then posting them?! 

As i'm writing this we have a snow covered ground outside, and you'd think after a year of living up north and surviving one of the worst blizzards they've had I would get sick of the white ground. But I guess being a true southerner at heart the excitement will never be taken away. Now if we could just get past the snow + driving part.....

I just want to thank you for continually reading and supporting LSTF! You the real MVP haha (; xo

Being from the south I understand that college football season is as big as your sister's wedding, if not bigger. I also know that it can be the most fun and stressful thing to shop for. You are challenged to find something within your style between only 2 colors, and that can be quite challenging in some stores. Well, today I rounded up a few stores to help you on that hunt! My favorite places to look are southern boutiques because you are almost guaranteed a whole selection based solely on your team colors. Plus, giving a local boutique my support is my favorite thing. But if you are not as big on local boutiques as I am then i've rounded up a few of my favorite retailers to look to. 

I hope to do a few more posts on gameday wear, so let me know if you want to see anything in particular. We have only a few more weeks y'all, and I could not be more excited!!

Thanks for reading! xo

#NSale

Early access for one of the biggest retail sales of the year is here! Actually it's been going on for 2 days, so if you have a Nordys debit/credit card get on this sale. If not then you will have to wait until July 16th to shop, but I am giving you a sneak peek at what to put in your cart. I've listed some of my favorite things from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and oh boy like always it's an amazing sale. Like seriously, you could probably buy your entire fall wardrobe just from this sale. I'm probably going to head to a Nordstrom on Monday to check out what they have in the stores too. I would get there sooner but i've learned you don't go on or off Cape on the weekends (darn you tourist traffic!!).

Happy weekend, and thanks for reading y'all! xo

April Favorites

-Finding funny/cute sayings everywhere I go-

-Faux leather skirt-

-Grabbing another Cape Cod spirit jersey to twin with a friend-

-The perfect (and super cheap) bronzer-

-Finding my favorite cupcake flavor at Georgetown cupcakes-

-Hitting the repeat button repeatedly-

April was the month that I really understood and took the time to have experiences. Rather than focusing on a beauty or fashion favorite I focused more on my favorite moments. Such as, visiting a famous cupcake store with one of my closest friends from back home, or watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0 every night with my brothers and parents. I love a new lipstick, but I love having the memory of a person, place, time or all three put together more. 

Speaking of experiences, today I am headed back down to Cola for a week filled with best friends, baseball, and a crazy amount of food! I could not be more excited; these trips seem to show up just when I need them.

March 2015 Favorites....

For the most part March was about my trip to South Africa, so a lot of my favorites this month have to do with that. 

Stargazing- Oh my goodness was the sky absolutely ahhh-mazing in Africa!! You could see the milky way... just was absolutely perfect! Between strokes of a paintbrush and the sunrises the experience of stargazing in SA was the time I felt closest to God.

Blanket Scarf- I know this is so a last season thing but woah was a blanket scarf the best thing I brought! It was perfect for the plane rides and for traveling in the car.

Ice cream- Long rides in a car with no air conditioning. Ice cream is sooo necessary. 

 Croakies- I probably would've lost my sunglasses a bajillion times if it were not for this amazing invention,

Makeup Mist and Set- Going straight from from hot sweaty weather to freezing weather was not ideal for my skin, and this spray helped a ton for giving my face a little extra spritz of moisture to start the day off.

Wristlet- Caring a purse around in SA was not the best thing so a wristlet was genius.

Magellan Shirt- I originally got this for another missions trip but it was perfect for this one since I was sweating buckets 2/3 of the day.

Nude pumps- If you couldn't already tell by the amount of times I have worn these in all my blog posts as of late, I really love these heels!

In other news, I have been in bed sick for the past 6 days and i'm just now being able to look at a screen. So hoping it doesn't last much longer because we have family friends visiting next week.

Thanks for stopping by! xo 

2015 February Favorites...

Bean Boots/ Striped Turtleneck/ Girly Book/ NYX Concealer/ Pink Earrings

Here's what i've been loving in the month of February...

1- This has been the month of snow. As you all are probably aware of considering how much I have talked about it. Snow = Bean Boots.

2- The softest, comfiest turtleneck tee ever. I have to restrain myself from wearing it everyday. Such a great layering piece!

3- I've really been into reading books for fun lately, and this has to be my favorite right now. It's such a cute book! I seriously can't wait for the sequel coming out in May! Now I really want to read this book....

4- I don't know why I ever stopped using this concealer. It was probably due to not being around an Ulta at the time of need. I tried it out last year and fell in love.

5- I have posted these so many times this month and I am really sorry! It's like I just bought them so I was going crazy and wanted to wear them everyday. 

6- Coffee. Oh my goodness, I love coffee anyway but this month I have just been inhaling it. I don't need but one cup of caffeine so I just drink it mostly for the taste, and I think it's due to the glorious amount of local coffee on the cape. Seriously there are only 3 Starbucks and my taste buds are not a huge fan anymore. Sorry Starbs! I still love your tea though!

This is my last post for 2 weeks (insert crying face)! I'm heading to South Africa on Monday for a missions trip, but I will be back soon so no worries. Follow along on my Instagram though because i'm going to try and post leaving/coming back- @catlyonc 
Thank you so so much y'all!! xxo
