Biblical Beauty of the Month: Megan {May 2016}

I met Megan at church camp when we were 10 years old. Somehow when we grew older, we reconnected and instantly hit it off! I used to dream about living in her small, Western Kansas town and seeing her every day. Megan has been an amazing friend over the years and even though we don't see each other often, we always pick up right where we left off. I wish you all could experience her adorable laugh in person!

Meet Megan Maupin.

What do you think it means to be a Biblical Beauty? You should do everything for the glory of God. Pray to have God shine His light through you: not for your own image, but so other people may know God.

Keep up with Megan!

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!!

Prom 2016

I am writing this post 24 hours later in a pair of sweatpants laying motionless on my couch.... That means it's the day after prom!!! Haha, for real though. I am SO tired. Buuuut Prom 2016 was a blast! Even though I'm only a junior, this is my third year going to prom. This one was by far my favorite because I was able to go with all of my closest friends! Let me introduce you...

My dress was a Sherri Hill purchased from Terry Costa in Dallas when I was on a visit to DBU back in January. They have gorgeous dresses and friendly employees. Check them out if you're in the area!

I started off the day by getting my hair and makeup done at Studio 400. My mom was a hairdresser for 20+ years and worked with many of the women who are employed here. It's always really fun to go back and see them since I grew up in the shop, admiring the beautiful hairstyles they created. I chose a classic french twist since there was a chance of rain and golden shimmer eyeshadow.

Next, my grandparents came over to take pictures at our house. They're the sweetest!

Our group finally met up at the beautiful Thiesen home to take more pictures. I think it's safe to say every girl felt like a princess in the castle. Zack doubled as my date and my brother! We are best friends and have been for a number of years now.

^^ our relationship in a picture, haha

We started to get hungry and made our way to Wichita for dinner at Newport Grill. (One of my best friends/photographers, Bailey, works there!) Even though we were already full, coffee ice cream sounded too good to pass up and we indulged on Churn & Burn.

Finally, it was time to actually go to prom! We arrived on the red carpet fashionably late at 8:50 and made our grand entrance. Our promenade is so cute because the whole town comes out to watch and pick out their favorite dresses.

We danced the night away for three hours, laughing, taking photos and eating snacks.

My friends headed on to After Prom at the YMCA, also put on by the parents, complete with swimming pools, basketball courts, movies, and prizes. They got home at 4:30, just in time for breakfast. Where was I, you ask? I went home to catch a few hours of sleep before waking up for breakfast with the gang :)

This year's prom was an amazing experience and wouldn't have been possible without all of the hard work the parents and teachers put in. Thank you all!!!!

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.
