easter sunday OOTDs

happy easter y'all! what an absolutely beautiful day to celebrate our savior! church this morning was beautiful as well, from the easter lilies, the choir and the sermon. it certainly makes me want to make sunday morning church service more of a regular occurrence.

easter morning started with some of skinnytaste's insanely good blueberry oatmeal muffins and let me tell you: they were insanely good! i used frozen blueberries instead of fresh, didn't pulse the oats and used splenda brown sugar but they were still delicious! i also made the batter up last night (but didn't add the blueberries until this morning) and they baked perfectly! we also had some chopped fruit on the side and it was the perfect easter morning breakfast before church! the easter bunny also dropped by our house last night and he was way too good to us! somehow the bunny always fills our baskets with more than we could possibly need! even though we are 21 and 24 years old, phillip and i still hunted for easter eggs this morning! this year however there wasn't a real winner since we each found 12 eggs!

in my fashion book, with easter comes white bottoms, shoes and accessories, linen pants and of course, the return of seersucker! i love seersucker so much that the men in my wedding will be wearing it (a: if there ever is a wedding & b: i guess that means i will have to get married sometime between easter and the ut vs alabama football game in october). today we were dressed in our easter best for church and then changed into something still springy but more comfortable for lunch at my grandmother's! it was a two OOTD kind of day!

j. crew collection jeweled v-neck, j. crew linen drapey pants, tory burch sandals, tory burch aviator sunglasses 

we always go to my grandmother's for easter lunch every year. we have more food than we know what to do with, she makes her to-die-for poundcake and the grandkids have a big easter egg hunt! the egg hunt is always the highlight of the day and is always fun since the eggs all contain little pieces of green paper that obviously the older kids scramble for! to add to the lunch, i made copycat aubrey's squash casserole and it was pretty tasty if i say so myself! i ate more than i should have and will certainly not be stepping on the scales tomorrow! i know a day off from exercising and splurging on food is good every once in a while but it still gives me anxiety! i do know that i will be eating normal again starting in the morning!

this weekend was nothing short of perfect and i am sad to see it come to an end! i love spending time with my family and am so lucky for the closeness i share with them, especially my mawsie, mom and dad. it is hard to believe that i will be done with school just two weeks from tuesday and will be a senior! tomorrow starts the last leg of my junior year! i hope everyone has had as happy an easter as me and that you have great start to the week!

spring break is in the books

well, the spring break of my junior year is in the books. and what a wonderful, couldn't have dreamt it to be any better spring break it was. mom and i flew to miami on saturday and boarded the ship on sunday. from there the phones were turned off and we sailed into the sunny horizon of the caribbean sea towards mexico and the bahamas. after a morning spent in the spa getting a much needed facial and hot stone massage, multiple naps by the pool, plenty of good food (and free ice cream 24-7), a walk through cozumel (mexico is not my favorite place), yoga on the beach at castaway cay and all the disney characters, it safe to say that mom and i had a great time. i am so lucky to have a mother who will take me on a cruise and one that i enjoy spending so much time with. i couldn't thank her more for everything she did for me on the cruise! it was truly the only way i would have wanted to spend my spring break!


i quite enjoyed dressing up in all my summery clothes for dinner so i made sure to document each outfit to share! some things i had saved to wear for the cruise and then other things were favorite outfits that deserved an encore!


tory burch linen tunic, lilly pulitzer white beach pants, dolce vita green heels, lilly pulitzer bangle 


j. crew top and shorts, kork-ease wedge sandals, kate spade necklace 


lilly pulitzer originals whit shift, tory burch sandals


lilly pulitzer print top, lilly pulitzer beach linen pants, jack rogers sandals


j. crew button down and linen skirt, kork-ease wedges, j. crew pineapple necklace


la roque shell, leona blue linen pants, tory burch sandals


lilly pulitzer knit sweater and linen skirt, j. crew orange tank, tory burch sunglasses and sandals 


kate spade shirt, j. crew pixie pants, tory burch reva flats, kate spade necklace

everything went absolutely perfect and mom and i both wore stretchy pants home if that tells you how good the food was. disney cruise line has spoiled me and i don't know if i could go on a different cruise line! daddy met us at the airport and we ate at a nashville favorite, taco mamacita's, for supper then it was home to phillip, stella and sapphire! this morning came early because phillip and i signed up for the Special Kids 5k! we ran on ally davis's team, who is a family friend with down syndrome and one of my favorite people. she is always smiling and cheering on her dad's team, the blue raiders! i finished third in my age group with a time of 27:03, which i was quite proud of since i hadn't run since the last 5k i ran in december! it was fun to run with phillip and also one of my best friends megan and kelsi, who i went to high school with. exercising for a good cause is always a fun thing!



unfortunately it is back to the real world tomorrow (and regular meals). i am headed back to knoxville and will be back home for easter! it hard to believe that there are only about 8 weeks left of this semester! where did the time go? today i am meal planning, unpacking to repack and target-ing. pretty much, today and tomorrow will be spent reorganizing my life! i couldn't have asked for a better spring break and am already looking forward to my next girls trip with my mama!
