Sporty Sister’s Summer Essentials

I'm turning over College Prep to Sporty Sister today!!!


I also guest posted for Long Distance Loving... be sure to check it out!

*****

This summer has been a much-needed break and time for self-reflection. After going through what I like to call a "1/5 life crisis" after my 20th birthday, I’m using this time to accept the fact that time is not slowing down. As much trouble as I have coping with this little “growing up” issue, the summer has been a perfect time to release the anxiety and stress.

I’ve been reevaluating friendships and certain goals in order to bring only positive energy into my life. My days are spent on hobbies such as reading, photography, exercising, eliminating dairy, spending time with old and new friends, and obviously soaking up lots vitamin D.

(Yes- Newly diagnosed as lactose intolerant…not cool.)

The whole family together probably takes the cake(pop) as the best part of summer. With Meesh making cake pops 24/7 and Philippe golfing, CP and I have been able to bond even more than usual. 

Definitely not complaining about that. I’m honored to be able to write a post for her and although I would not define myself as a “college prepster” I hope a new perspective is refreshing to you lovely readers. 

My summer essentials:


Lace cover up shorts (from Creme da la Creme)


Bleached denim


Brown sandals

White Francesca’s sweater 


White eyelet bathing suit 


Starfish earings


Florida necklace
(longer Dogeared compass also shown)

    They are more expensive.. BUT free shipping if you search for coupon coups. Plus I wanted gold ! (just a heads up to my fellow Floridians)
