lake life

So it’s the week of the year where I am in my utter happy place. I don’t have much to update because I will do a full post once I get home but I have a few snaps to share with you all of my adventures at the lake!

I’m so very in love with my seersucker swimsuit! my mom picked it up for me and it screams me, plus stays up while crashing and wiping out during tubing/skiing adventures

seriously how flipping cute is the marina at sunset? maybe it is just me but my aesthetic  loving heart was pounding like crazy when we pulled into the dock to see this little home away from home

back to school must haves

while you’re reading this I’ll most likely be tanning on a boat or face planting after a water skiing downfall (let’s hope it is the first one), God bless for prescheduled posts! With school sadly approaching, I’ve prepared a post on the school things you need. But attending a Catholic school my whole life the whole “express yourself with your uniform” has been slightly limited. So I pulled together a few necessities that you can still express yourself with!

Slide1\

Agenda// okay I seriously swear by using mine and by the end of the year it ends up almost being a diary of my life and everything I’ve accomplished (and all the essays I’ve written) through the year. I have and love my Lilly one, but Kate Spade and Erin Condren also offer simply fantastic ones as well!

monogrammed stickers// you can order so many varieties just by typing monogrammed stickers into Etsy and they’re my ultimate favorites for customizing my shiz. I have one on my water bottle, my notebooks, my laptop, and the list goes on and on and on…the possibilities are endless really.

cute lunchboxes// seriously I have a problem with tupperware. it’s times like these where I honestly debate whether I am 17 and a senior or 30 something and a too-organized mom living through her children. I have an addiction to cute tupperware and lunch boxes, which I must admit makes packing healthy lunches all the more fun! Target always has an amazing section of cute lunch supplies, so check it out next time you’re there!

backpack// this one is a given but there are so many cute and practical options available: Vera Bradley, Etsy, and the new (and adorable) Madeline and Company!

I hope back to school comes slow for you but filled with organizational goodness!

xoxo, Ally
