Why I’m Obsessed with Style Subscription Boxes

I know I’m a little behind the times here, but I’m newly obsessed with subscription boxes! Like, why hasn’t anyone told me how freakin’ awesome they are?! I recently started researching some – whether for fashion, beauty, or home goods, and now I can’t get enough. I mean, it doesn’t get easier than items getting shipped to your front door, and I’m really loving the companies who make things personal.…

How to Get Better at Not Caring What Others Think

This is actually an article I’ve been wanting to write for a long time – probably years actually. It’s a topic I’ve thought about since middle school, and something I’ve wanted to conquer since forever. I kept pushing off writing it because I didn’t think I was *there* yet, or always felt like I still cared a little bit. and I mean, I do. I think we’d all be lying…

My Summer Bucketlist

Not sure where my motivation has been lately, but I have just not been feelin’ it. But I posted my Summer bucket list on my Instagram Monday night and something about putting that together got me all excited. So I wanted to compile it into a blog post! Plus, I wanted to share the details from the picnic that Katie and I had last week. It was so much fun…

The BTD Guide to 30A Florida

I actually can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a guide to 30A, as I’ve literally been coming here for decades. Pretty sure I’ve been here 30 times – I’m not even exaggerating! Even before all the tourists took note and it became the hot spot for the South, my family and I have been vacationing here – so yeah, it’s about time I did a BTD guide!

Several of my most favorite content on BTD isn’t necessarily the most recent, so I wanted there to be a spot on the Homepage that showcased some of the BEST and most helpful posts from popular, timeless categories.

5 Clear Signs You Need a Vacation

Y’all might have noticed that my recent trip to Florida was last-minute, which is very Brighton but it’s not how I usually travel. Whether work or personal, I usually have trips planned out at least a few months in advance, but this trip was different. It seems like it’s a natural thing – waves of motivation – and lately, I had been in somewhat of a slump. I don’t even…

The Makeup Routine I Rarely Leave the House Without

Even though we talk a lot about beauty on BTD and I’m a Southern girl who loves to get all dolled up on occasion, honestly, I’m pretty low maintenance with my routine. Rarely am I into something that takes more than 20 minutes or makes me look unnatural. I’m much more into easy, effortless beauty routines or products. Because as you probably know, I’m constantly running 20 minutes behind, ha!

Currently Loving: Sam Edelman Denim

I’ve been a longtime fan of Sam Edelman since as long as I can remember. Sam Edelman shoes are always so stylish and on-trend while also affordable and comfortable too. So I was super excited to learn about their new denim line and couldn’t wait to try on a pair for myself! And just like their shoes, the jeans did NOT disappoint.

How to Look Stylish on a Beach Day

Y’all have probably seen from social media that I’m in Florida on a much needed vacation (but more on that in a post coming up soon!), and I’m tagging along with my mama and some friends. And the one thing about traveling with my mama is that she ALWAYS brings her fashion A-game. She’s kinda one of those people who doesn’t have to try and just looks freaking cute at all times. Even when we go to the beach.

Straw Accessories for Spring and Summer

Have y’all been as obsessed with straw as I am lately?! More so than in years past, straw is everywhere this season, and it makes me really happy. I’ve pretty much retired my neutral leather bags for straw ones, most of my wedges are straw-based, and let’s not forget about straw hats for weekend days or vacations. OBSESSED. I’m actually in Florida right now and brought all the straw things…
