A Yellow Summer Dress

Hello loves, and happy summer! I am officially done with junior year (thank goodness) and finally have time to sit down and share this lovely look. Zaful recently sent me this adorable yellow dress that I featured in my summer wishlist (you can see that here). While Zaful gets mixed reviews, I have worked with them twice and I have always liked the pieces that I have received. This dress, though, is by far the cutest piece I have gotten from them! I adore the color. Yellow radiates happiness and sunshine, which is perfect for the season. The light and airy linen fabric fits the weather as well. I especially adore the straps- they tie in bows. Plus, this dress can be made to fit many body types! For reference, I ordered mine in a size small and it fit perfectly.

I chose to style this dress casually, with a pair of light blue sandals from American Eagle. This outfit is versatile and comfortable, making it ideal for any summer adventure! You could also wear this dress with some cute wedges for a dressier look.

If you like this dress, you can check it out here! It was only $23, making it an affordable way to try out this trend for summer. Be sure to also check out Zaful here.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

XOXO,

Sadie

Prom '18

Hello loves! 

Last night I had the pleasure of attending prom with three of my favorite people- Abigail, Juniper, and Christian. We first ate some delicious pizza at the Purple Onion before getting down on the dance floor. I adored getting ready and getting to wear my dress from ASOS! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe night at prom and I can't wait to attend next year. 

XOXO,

Sadie Jane Travels: Spring Break '18

oh. my. goodness.

After waiting for months for Spring Break, it finally came! I have been looking forward for a week off for quite a while, especially because its been a bit chilly in NC. This year, my family, Christian, and I ventured down to warm and sunny Florida- 30A to be exact! This region of the sunshine state has always held a place in my heart. When I was young, my parents rented a house in the idyllic 30A community of Seaside. I've been obsessed ever since. Last year, we stayed in Rosemary Beach (read about it here) and this year we opted to stay in between my two favorite areas in a community called Seagrove. Getting to relax by the water and explore the area was just the thing I needed to rest and recharge from a stressful school year. I took a ton of pictures and even vlogged the trip. Both are below! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful break.

We took a boat over to an isolated and quiet island known for its shells! It was so relaxing to enjoy the calmness of the island and search for sea life.

This was taken in Rosemary Beach! This town has the cutest architecture and has wonderful stores. Christian and I wandered around the village one evening and enjoyed the sunny weather.

One of my favorite parts of visiting the beach is watching the sunsets! This was taken our first night there while we strolled on the sands.

Perhaps one of my favorite stores in Seaside is Sundog Books! I ended up leaving with far too many new reads and a sweatshirt. There is even a record store upstairs! How perfect can this place get?

Another evening spent enjoying the sunset!

Nothing beats a smoothie on the beach, especially when its chocked full of nutrients! I got this one at For the Health of It, an adorable health foods store on 30A.

Another snapshot from Shell Island!

We wandered around the communities at Rosemary Beach and couldn't resist picking some flowers along the way.

More of Rosemary Beach!

On our way home, we stopped by Radium Springs, GA. I visited it quite a while and did a blog post on it. Read it here for an LOL! I look so young!

Yet another sunset. This one was at Rosemary Beach!

More Rosemary Beach adventures!

Another Shell Island pic!

There were so many birds at the beach! I got to snap a picture of this beauty while wandering dockside.

and lastly... my vlog! I hope you enjoy. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break!

Springtime Photoshoots

Quite honestly, I don't think that there is any better way to spend a Saturday then with friends and a camera. Yesterday, Oussa, Nichola, and I met up for a photoshoot! After sitting and chatting for a while we went around our area taking pictures and having fun. Even though it was a bit chilly, I tried to keep a springtime vibe throughout all of the outfits I chose! In my first look, I styled my favorite girlfriend jeans from Abercrombie with a faded green button up from J. Crew (similar). To accessorize, I added my lace up heels from Target. In my next look, I wore my favorite off-the-shoulder dress from Urban Outfitters (an equally cute alternative). I especially love this piece for warm weather outings and I can't wait to wear it to the beach! For my last look, I wore my trusty denim skirt from Forever 21 with a white ruffled cami! I also threw over my green button up and used a bandana from Madewell as a headband. I really enjoyed spending the day with such wonderful people and I can't wait to do it again!

ps- check out the last picture for a real life behind the scenes shot!

Happy Sunday loves! I hope this next week treats you well.

XOXO,

Sadie

Weekend Wrap: A Day Trip to Greenville, SC

Hello loves, and happy Sunday! It seems like Autumn is flying by and I have yet to get the full fall experience! While juggling school, sports, clubs, and life in general, I often forget to just take some time to relax and enjoy the wonderful area that I live in. Today I did just that by exploring a nearby town called Greenville, SC! My parents grew up in the area and know it like the back of their hand. As for me, it's still pretty unexplored! The city has the perfect mix between the classic southern charm of the region and the hipster vibes of Asheville. My family and I decided to try out a new brunch restaurant called Golden Brown and Delicious and I think I am in love! I had some mouth-watering apple pancakes topped with goat cheese and a cup of OJ. We also ventured over to the coffee shop next door, The Village Grind. I absolutely adored the quaint vibes that the shop gave off! While sipping my vanilla latte (I quite honestly have an addiction to them), I admired the crazy pumpkin carving they had on display! For this day trip, I styled my chunky turtleneck from UO with my favorite skirt from Forever 21 and some black booties (similar). To accessorize, I added a faux leather belt from a local boutique and my favorite yellow clutch from Anthropologie (similar). I'm so glad I got to have a weekend adventure to enjoy Autumn and I look forward to the chilly months ahead.

XOXO,

Sadie
