Walkin' on Sunshine

Hellloo, everyone! I hope so far you are having a bright, sunshiny day!!!!...oops, wrong song.

It's pretty ironic I'm posting this today because yesterday our entire state was covered in severe weather and tornado warnings. All of the gloominess has sparked me to daydream about sunnier times, and more specifically sundresses, that I'd rather be wearing. I bought this beauty during an Old Navy haul I had a few weeks ago (sadly, it's no longer available :/) The looser fit makes it super comfortable, and the print just screams girly. It's versatile enough to wear to the grocery store with jeans or on Easter Sunday with heels. Accent with minimal jewelry to keep the simplicity of the dress the focal statement.

Putting in Pink

Dress: Lauren James, Shoes: Versona

Good morning, Biblical Beauties! I have been so excited to share this post with you. I was feeling inspired after watching the Masters a few weeks ago, and knew I had to debut this lovely Lauren James dress on the golf course. These photos wouldn't have turned out this gorgeous if it wasn't for Pam Weaver! She is incredibly talented, creative, patient, and a joy to be around. Contact Pam to book a summer sesh today!!!

While I'm no pro myself, I've grown to appreciate golf over the years. My dad has played in Men's League for 20 years and my boyfriend currently plays for his college. Year after year, I've said I was going to go out for the golf team and never have...but I can assure you that next year you'll find me proudly playing for the Swather Men's Golf Team (Yes, our mascot is a tractor, and no, we don't have a girls team)

One thing I have always appreciated is a quality-made, classy dress. Lauren James is a Southern-prep clothing company based out of Arkansas that has all the essentials if you want to look like a sophisticated young woman. They have pages and pages of dresses, skirts, and shorts made from seersucker and embellished with bows. Even if your style isn't full-on Southern Belle, there are still pieces that would look great in any setting, whether you're in the Deep South or on the West Coast. Browse the rest of their spring collection here!!

Truly Kustom, Truly Kute + Giveaway

Earrings: Truly Kustom, Top: Old Navy, Shorts: Old Navy

Hello everyone! I hope you're having an incredible Tuesday :) I had a great weekend catching up with my friend Bailey and enjoying the gorgeous weather we've been having lately. Both prom and my show choir performances are coming up, which makes April a crazy busy month. Still, I've been finding time to enjoy the little things in life - riding my bike around town, spending time with grandparents, and diving back into reading my Bible. Right now I'm working to memorize Psalm 130!

Speaking of little everyday blessings, can we talk about these earrings from Truly Kustom?! So, so cute! I found their shop on Instagram and was fortunate enough to win this pair of earrings in a giveaway. Not only is their jewelry good quality and absolutely adorable, it's also affordable! This pair only costs $10. The two moms behind Truly Kustom do a fabulous job with their small business. They are so kind, sweet, and generous....generous enough to donate a pair of earrings for an Instagram giveaway!!!!! Check @hisbiblicalbeauty to find out how to enter!

Together with this darling peplum top from Old Navy and a pair of khaki shorts, this outfit can be worn anywhere and accessorized as little or as much as you'd like.

Tank You, APU

God always seems to surprise you most when you least expect it. When I went on college visits in California over spring break last month, I wasn’t sure if my decision would be made clear. The pressure was on: it’s not every day I can take off for a week and fly 1,200 miles to make an on-campus visit to a prospective school! But God made it clear that He has my back and He has a plan.

Pre-Visit Rankings:

#1 Pepperdine University

#2 Biola University

#3 Azusa Pacific University

Don’t get me wrong—it wasn’t that I was doubting APU or closed-minded about going there. Truth be told, I just didn't know anything about it! I almost didn’t visit because I wasn’t sure if it would be worth my time. But APU proved me wrong, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

Azusa was my second visit of the three. I entered the day with no expectations and a positive attitude. My tour guide, Tori, was the absolute sweetest person I could’ve asked for!!! I was immediately surprised by the friendliness of everyone on campus. I soaked in the peaceful environment, yet was intrigued that it still remained upbeat. The adorable trolleys fascinated me and I loved the uniqueness of the two campuses - one being more “homey” and surrounded by pretty foliage; the other having more of an urban feel with clean lines and large windows. Most important of all, their faith was emphasized in everything and their motto, “God First,” was genuinely reflected throughout the day.

Everyone I interacted with that day played a part in helping me make my decision: the kind receptionist at the welcome center, the man who gave an informational presentation, my tour guide Tori, my admissions counselor Emily, and the dance team member Madison. Thank you all for making my visit a positive experience!!!

I concluded my amazing visit with a trip to the APU bookstore and got this cute muscle tank. Check it out online here!

I will be attending Azusa Pacific University in the Fall of 2017 and double-majoring in Journalism and Business. Thank you mom and dad, thank you Jesus, and tank you APU!

March Gladness

It's March, and the madness is almost over! Although I don't know every player's name or every team's seed, I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to sports and the NCAA tournament. Back in the day, I used to be a baller and played post (it's okay, you can laugh.) Now, I just enjoy cheering from the sidelines.

Since my two favorite teams aren't in the tournament (Wichita State and Kansas State), I keep it neutral with this baseball style tee from La Tee Da. LTD is an Etsy shop that sells custom graphic tees, home decor, and accessories. It just so happens that they're also based in my hometown! Check out their Etsy shop here.

Syracuse isn't the only one who made a comeback this year. Converse sneakers are cuter than ever and have re-entered the fashion realm, although some may argue they never went out of style in the first place. Stayed up late watching North Carolina win and didn't have time to wash your hair? Spritz in some dry shampoo, throw it up in a ponytail and you've completed the sporty look!

A good photoshoot wouldn't be complete without some bloopers.....but it seems like this one was mostly silly pictures ;)

This was a 100% pure candid moment, haha
