Spring Break Essentials

It's almost that time of year! The weather is getting warmer and that means spring break is just around the corner! Of course my spring break isn't until April, I still have my spring essentials that I need to get together before then! 
First, you need a cute bathing suit! Whether it's a one piece or a cute bikini, it is necessary to have one! Living close to the beach is beyond wonderful! I am never more than an hour or so away! 
With your bathing suit you need a cover up. I always use my monogram PFG shirt, big tank or t shirt with some bright nike shorts. I always have something I case I start to burn I can throw on my shoulders! Life saver! Speaking of life savers, my hat always saves me from getting burnt on my face. I either have on my big sun hat or my ball cap. Always have a pair of sunglasses just in case! 
To keep all your essentials in, you need a big beach bag! My bag is always full of magazines, sun tan lotion and extra snacks!
Chacos are a must! These shoes can get wet, be thrown on easily and are really cute! With their bright colors they are perfect for spring and summer. 
Keeping hydrated is a must! Having a cooler to keep drinks and snacks in can be very handy! I love the Lilly Pulitzer ones! 
After you're done with the pool or the beach, you need a cute dinner outfit! I am absolutely in love with the Lilly scallop seersucker shorts! Pair them with a white shirt and some white Jack Rodgers, you'll have a perfect outfit! 

I hope you all have a great spring! Where are you going for spring break?

Wish List

My ultimate wish list! These six items pictured above are what I would love to buy if I had unlimited cash right now, sadly being a teacher does not pay the best, so they have to stay on my wish list for a while. 

Kate Spade Bow Bag

If anyone knows me they know I absolutely love bows! I have been obsessed with bows ever since I was a little girl, thanks mom :) This bag has such a classic look that it would go great with any outfit! 

Lilly Pulitzer Elsa Top in Tusk in Sun Print

As my boyfriend can tell you, I have been obsessing over this top. I stood in the Lilly Pulitzer store and stared at it for a good fifteen minutes. This top it at the top of my wish list! I will save everything I can until I can afford it! 

Black Short Hunter Boots

As I type this post it is raining outside, hence why I would love to have these boots. Here in Mobile it rains almost every day! These boots are very durable and reliable, definitely worth the money! This item is another that is on top of my list!

JCrew Necklace 

I absolutely love the JCrew crystal necklaces! They add a since of sparkle to every outfit. You can dress them up or down, but they will always add to your outfit. 

JCrew Check Shirt

These shirts go well in any season! Whether it is under a quilted vest in the fall or paired with scalloped shorts in the spring, these shirts will make any outfit look adorable! Pair this shirt with the crystal necklace for an extra pop of sparkle!

Lilly Pulitzer Tusk In Sun Iphone 5 Case

I am obsessed with Iphone cases! Before I got my 5s, I had around 15 for my 4s! This case features my favorite Lilly print, so of course I would love it! Added to this I would love the Ipad case in this print! So cute!

What's on your wish list?!

Statement Necklace

Statement Necklace by kaitlinboat featuring crystal jewelry

Statement necklaces are officially my new obsession! You can take any plain outfit and spice it up with a pop of sparkle.  There are so many places you can find these statement necklaces. JCrew has some fabulous options, but if you are on a budget, Versona also has some great options. I went in the Versona in the local mall and saw some beautiful pieces; So many options!

What's your favorite statement necklace?
