AUSTIN CITY LIMITS

Back at the beginning of the month, one of my roommates and I went to Austin City Limits. We had both never been before because it's so expensive but let me tell ya, it was worth every penny. Tons of our favorite bands were there and we got to be front row for a lot of them. It was definitely exhausting and hard to get myself out of bed by the third day, but we had the time of our lives!

DAY 1

dress / denim / bag / chacos / sunglasses

When dressing for ACL you have to think casual. I tried not too worry too much about looking cute because you're outside in the heat all day long. Wearing a dress was a good idea and I love this button down from Madewell because it's short sleeved. Chacos were also a good idea. As long as you're good with having a Chaco tan to last the rest of the year.

DAY 2

hey Ryn Weaver

dress / flannel (last year urban outfitters)

I'm absolutely obsessed with the dress I wore this day. It was so lightweight and a little on the longer side so I was able to be comfortable in the heat and still dance like crazy to my favorite bands (aka Twenty One Pilots)

DAY 3

bralettte / shorts (similar worn unrolled) / buff

By the last day I had run out of "ACL outfits" to wear so I borrowed this shirt from my roommate who is in this picture. And also got super lazy with my hair and hadn't washed it all weekend so top knot was the way to go! It was super hot anyways! Oh and I can't forget to mention the Buff I'm wearing. If you're at all into outdoorsy things or are obsessed with headbands, get a Buff! They are the coolest things, you can wear them so many different ways! They have some that are strictly headbands but the one I'm wearing can be worn around your neck, as a beanie, and so many other ways it's so fun. (I have also used it as an eye mask which works really well haha)

I miss ACL sososo much and I hope next year's line up is at least half as good as this one was because it was a BLAST! If you ever get the chance to go DO IT! You won't regret it. 

GAME DAY OUTFITS

I'm a little late on this, but I really want to start writing outfit posts for every football game this season. I rarely get any chances to dress up except for game days and it's so much fun to get creative with it! Since I'm just now starting this series, I don't actually have pictures that I took for this post so I just have some random pictures with my friends.

9/12 - UT vs. Rice

For the first game I wore this tie dye dress with turquoise earrings and cowboy boots. For my hair I lightly curled it and braided the front pieces back in a dutch braid.

9/19 - UT vs. California

It's been super hot here so for this game I wore a plain burnt orange tank top with distressed high waisted shorts and cowboy boots. I wore the same earrings again because turquoise always goes well with burnt orange. I get really annoyed with my hair during football games so this time I decided to part it down the middle and do two messy dutch braids.

9/26 - UT vs. OSU Parents Weekend

This last game was also parents weekend for KD! This was a blast because we played OSU and that's where my parents went. I'm a bad longhorn and also cheered for the cowboys... I wore this dress from altar'd state with my cowboy boots again of course. I layered my short KD circle of friendship necklace with my long rock necklace. I also wore turquoise earrings again except this time they are the Kendra Scott dangly earrings.

STRIPES

I've been doing so horrible at updating my blog lately, so here's an old post that I was planning on writing that just never really happened.

I went to dinner with one of my roommates (Madi who has a blog here) and my big. It was so nice to catch up with them because we hadn't seen each other all summer for some odd reason. It was funny because Madi and I basically showed up in the same outfit. That's what being roommates does to ya.

I decided to wear my gray striped shirt with neon yellow shorts to add a pop of color. I absolutely love stripes and I also love neon and they look so good together.

Later that night I went to hang out with some of my friends in the high school parking lot and wasn't gonna ride a ripstick like that. So I kept the shirt, threw on some patagonia shorts and I was good to go. I love those t shirts that are casual enough to wear with athletic shorts but could also be dressed up a little. I'm definitely on the hunt for more items like that.

CANCUN (VIDEO)

Woohoo! Two videos in one day! A couple weeks ago my parents and I went to Cancun, Mexico. It was absolutely beautiful. I didn't get a whole lot of footage so this video is shorter than usual but I captured some gorgeous views. Here ya go:

MYRTLE BEACH (VIDEO)

Before we went to camp, Maci and I went to Myrtle Beach for her brother's baseball tournament! Although, we didn't spend much time at the games oops. It was so much fun to be in South Carolina because that state has a special place in my heart (specifically Hilton Head Island). We had a blast and here's the video I made of the trip:

CAMP PIKE 2015 (VIDEO)

Hey guys! So I just got back from camp a week ago and it was amazing once again. This year I did something different and I made a video during counselor week and we showed it to the campers when they first arrived to get them pumped about camp. I love watching this video and reliving the memories and it makes me want to go back to camp so so bad.

FATHER'S DAY/NATIONAL WEAR YOUR LILLY DAY

Okay so I'm gonna try something a little different here today... You might be surprised because I rarely ever wear make up or dress cute but I'm actually super into fashion and beauty. Soooo with that being said I thought I would start incorporating posts like that in my blog. My favorite blogs are fashion/lifestyle blogs and they have inspired me to start this up so here goes nothin!

Today is National Wear Your Lilly Day because IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! So naturally I had to wear my shorts. If you're looking for cute patterned shorts, these are definitely worth the splurge! I can see myself wearing these for a long time. The bright colors are perfect for summer and the scalloped edges make them that much cuter. I paired them with just a plain chambray shirt to keep the focus on the pattern of the shorts. And I just wore Birkenstocks because they're comfy and the neutral color goes with everything.

It's also Father's Day today! I went with my dad this morning to check out our contemporary service at church and then ate lunch at (of course) Local Diner. We also went over to play with the dogs that I'm taking care of for the week and we sat and enjoyed their backyard and this slightly cooler weather. Love ya, Dad! Hope you had a good Father's Day!
