#SummerInLilly











Happy Monday, ya'll! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July - I definitely did! I'm back at work today after a week long vacay in Topsail Beach, NC. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy some time off of work, but now it's back to the daily 9-5. But hey, today is going to be a great day!

I wanted to share this beautiful shirt with you all. I love Lilly Pulitzer - always have and always will. I'm okay with paying a pretty penny for something that I know will hold up. And let's be real, I'm a sucker for bright prints! I have a few of these Essie tops. They're so comfortable and they're perfect for work! I paired this top with some white pants and my favorite Sam Edelman strappy sandals and voila! If you're not a fan of heels, Sam Edelman makes a similar flat sandal that is just as wonderful as the heel I'm wearing.

I purchased these white pants from Ivy & Leo back in May and love them. I've always had a hard time finding pants that fit me and these are great! Ivy & Leo also has some adorable clothing - you can use the code 'MORGAN10' for 10% off of your order online and in stores!

Happy Shopping, friends!

A Floral Affair









Photos by Kelsey Yokovich


It's Firday and I'm so excited! I just have to get through this day and then I'm on vacay until next Sunday - can I get a hallelujah?!  mean come on, I live at the beach and if we're being honest, I'm kind of pasty. I'm ready to soak up some sun for a week. Anyways - I'm loving this outfit. This skirt is from Francesca's boutique and it as purchased about a year ago, but I'm still finding so many items in this exact same print so I'm sure it won't be hard to find! Just this past weekend, I was at Bevello in Raleigh, NC at Cameron Village and found a shirt in the same print. It's still out there people, I promise! Also, these shoes are my absolute favorite. I love a good strappy, chunky heel. Any y'all, these heels are seriously so comfortable. I love heels but sometimes I have a hard time walking in them. With these, I can strut my stuff with no problem at all. I also know that I've shared this necklace on the blog before, but Half United is a great cause. For every time purchased, you give 7 meals to those in need. There's nothing better than a beautiful piece of jewelry that can be purchased for a good cause! And the business was all started in my town of Wilmington, NC.

I hope you all have a fabulous 4th of July weekend!

And as always, Happy Shopping, Friends! Seriously though... there's so many sales this weekend.

Maggie + Logan: A Rustic Wedding

Happy first day of Summer, friends! It has been a crazy few weeks for me. My birthday was about a month ago and of course I spent the first two weeks of my 23rd year of life sick as a dog. Seriously - I was so, so sick. It was awful! But thanks to my mom's orders to stay in bed for a few days and not go out on the boat (even though I really wanted to), I am alive and well today!

I wanted to share with you all some photos from my twin sister's wedding from March. It was an absolutely beautiful rustic barn wedding. Just looking back at the photos makes me cry. When I first got all of the photos back, I had to close my office door as I looked at them because I didn't want my co-workers thinking I was crazy. These breathtaking photos were taken by Vanessa + Thaniel, a photography duo based out of Durham, NC. They were amazing and really captured the entire essence of the wedding. They take a photojournalistic approach to photographing events so that the photos really tell a story. The photos that I am sharing are only a fraction of the photos that we received back from them. They were amazing - check out their website here!

So without further ado...

Warren Wedding: March 19th, 2016













































I still can't get over how beautiful this wedding was. Can you believe that a very large portion of it was DIY? My beautiful grandmother worked so hard to make so many beautiful things for this wedding. She made all of the boutineers and bouquets, she made the flower girl dress, she worked endlessly to make this wedding everything that Maggie had envisioned. Of course, the rest of the family helped too! We were there the day before stringing all of the gorgeous lights, setting up tables, etc. We made this wedding a big family affair and I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was so fun seeing how the entire event came together! And we could not be happier that Maggie chose to spend the rest of her life with the man that she loves.

Here's to you, Maggie and Logan. May your love prosper and grow for eternity. I love you both!

Also, I'm now the proud Auntie of a beautiful chocolate lab, Finn. Isn't he adorable?!
