DC Haul

Hello everyone. So sorry that I haven't blogged in a while. Whoops! Today on the blog I have a haul for everyone. I have been requested multiple times to do a haul. Please know that I am in NO WAY WHAT SO EVER trying to "show off" the items that I have purchased. I purchased it all with my own money and have been saving up for this trip for quite a while now. So let's get started. 

The first store that we went to was Anthropologie. For a very long time I have wanted the Q & A a day book as well as the monogram mug. I am very excited that I have finally purchased both of these items! 

The next store that we went to was the Lilly Pulitzer store Pink Palm. After my friends and I spent hours in the store we finally walked out with some items. They were having a huge sidewalk sale, and most of the summer items were 20% to 50% off. Today I scored a Lilly murfee scarf for $56 due to the fact that it was 50% off! It is in the print pop pink. 

Here's a better picture of it on :) 

Then we went to LuLuLemon. I have had previous headbands from this store, but I have misplaced them. The one that I purchased today is the swiftly style, and it is a dark grey color. This will be great for pulling my hair back when I run track & cross country, and for washing my face. The white one is my friends! 

As many of you may know, Francesca's is a must if you are in an area that has one. I seriously had to stop myself from buying the whole rack of jewelry. Everything is so so cute! I finally decided on purchasing two things. The first piece if jewelry that I purchased is this adorable watch.

 It has a gold leather band and a multi glitter face. It reminds me of Kate Spade! 

I also purchased this simple, dainty bangle like bracelet that will look adorable with my daily stacks. 

It is gold rimmed with a braided like material in pink, yellow, and green. 

The last store I am going to be covering in this haul is called Ginger. My friends and I were walking by the store and something glittery (as always) caught my eye. I ended up buying this large glitter bag/pouch. The best part about it is that it was on sale! I scored it for $5! What a deal. 

I hope all of you enjoyed my haul today on the blog! Thanks for reading! 

XOXO,

my accounts 1 yr anniversary

Hello everyone! Today on the blog I have some very special news. Today marks the one year anniversary of my account! I created my account today one year ago. Time really does fly by! However, I did not officially start posting on my instagram until November. Anyways, I felt like I should share with you all a little bit of history of my account, and how pink & preppy got started. 

One year ago today, I was looking for a fun summer project to do. Some friends were over and they told me that I had some really good fashion ideas and that I should do "one of those preppy accounts". Little did I know that a year later I would have as many followers as I do now. 

I started with posting pictures that I found on Polyvore or Google. Then my friend Gracie suggested that I should post some of my own pictures, and I did. As you all know now, I only post my own pictures! 

I really enjoyed it and I started to gain more and more followers. I was contacted by a highly popular monogram shop (that is now M.I.A) when I reached 500 followers which was on thanksgiving. They asked me if I was interested in doing a giveaway with them. Of course at the time I didn't know if it would help my account grow, and surely enough, it did. 

Fast forward a few weeks and it is now Christmas Eve, and I gained 250 followers in one week!! I was so excited because that meant I now had 700 followers! 

By the time January rolled around I reach 1000. Yes! I did another giveaway to celebrate my accomplishment. Some of my followers suggested I create a blog. I was very nervous and hesitant. Before long, I had one! I was hesitant because I didn't know if it would become an abandoned project. And yep you guessed it... it did. My last blog post was back in March. 

Now fast forward to now. I am a growing account and I now have 1500 dearly loved followers. I have decided to start blogging a lot more. Every Sunday and Wednesday to be exact. You may be wondering why I am doing this. Well, about a month ago, I created a YouTube account. I uploaded one very crappy video. (Sorry about the language :) ) I then started to think about negative things that might come out of it and just decided that I am going to wait a little longer until I gain more followers. I just don't want to make videos if I am only going to get 30-40 views per video if ya know what I mean. So I have just decided that I would rather blog. I enjoy writing, so this is fun for me. 

In the future, I plan on doing many more blog posts, and who knows, maybe a YouTube video! When I reach 2000 followers (I'm only 500 away) I will be doing a HUGEE giveaway with everyone's favorite brands! I am going to Jamaica in October, so you can expect a few blog posts about that in the future. Also, many back to school posts! 

I hope everyone has a great day! Special thanks to all of you awesome followers who have gotten me this far. I couldn't have done it with out you! Love you all so so much!

Avid Tea Drinker

As many of you may know, I am an avid tea drinker. I have a cup of hot tea in the morning & one at night. It's very addicting! 

I often get asked what teas I would recommend. Here are my "Tea Tips". 

My all time favorite tea is the TAZO calm chamomile tea. It is "a comforting herbal infusion of chamomile, rose petals & soothing herbs". At least that is what it says on the box. I usually put a dash of honey in at night. 

My next favorite tea is the Bigelow assorted teas variety pack. This pack basically gives you a sample of everything if you cannot just pick one. It includes Lemon Lift, Green Tea, Constant Comment, Earl Gray, *Plantation Mint, and *English Teatime. (Some of my favorites have a * by them) 

I hope today's blog helped all of you out! If you have any questions please leave them in the comment below and I will be happy to answer them!
