WINTER WEEKEND GETAWAY 2021

Eeekksss, hello hello!!! I am so happy and excited to be back, gosh life gets crazy…I had the best weekend on our Winter weekend getaway that I couldn’t NOT share it!! 🙂 I mentioned in a video called my “Winter Bucket List” that I wanted to go on a Winter Weekend getaway. My boyfriend, John, booked and planned the whole trip (awww how sweet!!) it was so much fun and I can’t wait to share the detss!

On Friday night, after John was done working, we headed to Indianapolis Indiana, a short (but very fun) road trip. We listened to our favorite Road Trip Playlist on Spotify and chatted about all the fun Holiday plans we have ahead of us. Once we checked in to our hotel, I got dressed for dinner and we went to our FAVORITE restaurant, Nada. We ordered lots of yummy tacos, they are smaller street style Tacos, perfect for sharing. Along with chips and dip- sooo delicious. Nada is such a romantic and chill atmosphere, we always like to visit when we’re in Indy (Check out this VLOG).

Saturday we went out for Bruch and enjoyed pancakes, French toast, bacon and eggs (we’re such foodies:))! Then we decided to explore the city a little, even though it was FREEZING COLD haha! Since we didn’t have any plans for the afternoon we decided last minute to catch the matinee movie premiere of the new Spiderman….such a GOOD movie! Once the movie was over, it was dark outside aka perfect zoo light’s timing. John planned a zoo lights date on Saturday night that was so festive! Indianapolis Zoo has so many animals and the cutest Santa’s Village!

On Sunday we had to check out of our Hotel. John surprised me with tickets to see the new exhibit at Newfields Art Museum. Their new THE LUME Van Gogh exhibit was AWESOME and so exciting to see (sorry the art nerd in me is showing through haha)! We got lunch at Newfields before our ticket time. After exploring THE LUME we wondered around the art museum for a few hours, my secret guilty pleasure, and the Lily House. Before starting our road trip back home we stopped for dinner and watched Sunday night football….ya girl is still #1 in Fantasy Football (don’t ask me how, it was all luck haha)!

To sum it up, we both had the BEST Winter Weekend getaway :)!! I will definitely be adding this to my bucket list for next Winter, too. It put me in the Holiday spirt and was a nice relaxing trip during the rush of the Holidays. With that being said, I am wishing you all a very Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!! I am so happy to be back on my blog and have a lot of fun NEW content to share with you, get ready!!

LIFE UPDATE: MAY 2021

OUTFIT DETAILS: DRESS | SHOES | WATCH|

Hiyaaa everyone! How are you doing?? Happy May, goodness, how time flies! It’s been a while since my last blog post and I have sooooo much to share with you all 🙂 I mentioned in this blog post how I was starting my final semester of college…and boy was it a tough one! After my first week, I was so stressed out of my mind… 6 classes, 18 credit hours, will do that to anyone…so I decided somethings had to be put on pause to keep my head on straight. Thankfully, I managed to pass all my classes with amazing grades and am now back with tons of exciting plans for my blog!! I can’t thank all of you who have stuck with me for the last five months, it’s been a wild time and I’m excited to catch y’all up to speed.

At the end of April, I graduated with my class of 2021 and was lucky enough to have and attend our commencement ceremony. It was so exciting to reunite with classmates after transitioning to online classes due to the pandemic in the middle of my college career. It was such a fun day and a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. Since our commencement ceremony was announced so last minute, I didn’t have the time to hunt down a new dress (totally blaming having finals on this one haha), but thankfully a perk of being a fashion influencer is being able to constantly shop my own closet (LOL)! I pulled out one of my favorite white dresses with a pair of simple cork heeled sandals for the occasion.

Graduation weekend was a blur! It went by so quickly and was so busy seeing old friends, celebrating with family and buying a Nintendo Switch with my boyfriend John. John and I decided to buy a switch together as our graduation present to one another…we also have been eye-ing it for the last few months…let’s just say totally worth the splurge! Ya girl is totally addicted to Animal Crossings- it’s sooo much fun! Side-note: I’m just so happy we bought it after graduating since any homework would have never gotten done haha!

I am so excited for this next chapter of my life (especially since I don’t have any more homework to do) and that I get to follow my passion. I have known for awhile that after my graduation I am able to do “KellyPrepster” full-time as my job! Ahhhhh!!! It still doesn’t seem real but hard work pays off, and a huge thank you to all all of YOU who support me!

As much as I have shared about my college experience, I haven’t. I wanted to keep a lot of it more private due to my safety and own privacy, but I do want to share a little more with you all since the time feels right! Over on my Instagram, I hosted a Q&A (or watch this video) to answer any questions you might have with what I’ve been up to and I’m excited tot share!

Q: What school did you attend and what was your major?

A: I went to the University of Cincinnati and majored in Electronic Media.

Q: What is your next step in life? Work? University?

A: I am so grateful that I am able to work full time for myself as a social media Influencer and couldn’t be more excited! I will continue sharing blog posts, youtube videos and posting to Instagram! I am not continuing my education further, but never say never! 🙂

Q: Did you join a sorority while In college?

A: I didn’t, just wasn’t for me.

Q: What’s your dream profession/career?

A: I’ve always wanted to own my own business and it’s so exciting watching it all happen! I find social media marketing so interesting and love that I get to do it as my job.

Q: Will you be expanding your small business on Etsy?

A: YES!! I have been working on some new products recently and can’t wait to share once they are LIVE 🙂

If you want ALL the scoop be sure to go check out my Q&A video on YouTube, I got a little more in depth! I am so happy to be back on my blog and have a lot of fun NEW content to share with you, get excited!! Just another thanks for sticking with me as I finished up finals and my college career, it was a rough one! I am wishing you all a great week!! And sending congratulations to all the other 2021 graduates, YOU GOT THIS!!

OUTFIT DETAILS: SHIRT | SWEATER | JEANS | HEADBAND | WATCH

Hiiyaaaa friends!! Ahhh, I can’t believe how fast this this week is going by…guess time flies when you’re having fun. Since the start of the pandemic, I have rediscovered my love for talking on the phone (ya girl can talk for hours lol). Chatting on the phone has been so nice to reconnect with friends and family during these times. I personally LOVE a phone call or FaceTime call over a text any day, (please let me know I’m not the only one) since it feels more engaging than a text message. Of course, for the purpose of this post I had to break out my vintage pink princess phone!

Today’s outfit is such a classic prep look and I am obsessed with it! A sweater tossed over a button down is such a fun preppy layering style and is sooo practical if you get cold later on. This pink pinstripe Ralph Lauren button down is a must have in my wardrobe. I also have been loving the headband trend…this one is over the top sparkly!!

BACK TO SCHOOL

OUTFIT DETAILS: SHIRT | JEANS | SOCKS | SHOES | SCRUNCHIE

Hey hey hey! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe winter break is officially over and classes have started back up. I wanted to share a funny first day of school reality update with all of you! I’ve always dressed up on my first day of classes and entering my last semester of collage, I expected no less…but six online classes said otherwise (hahahaha :,-))! This is my first (and thankfully last) time taking 6 classes, 18 credit hours, and on the first day, I felt so overwhelmed I just wanted to stay extra comfortable (aka no makeup & an oversized hoodie).

What I was hoping to wear, was one of my favorite pink and yellow striped tops from J.Crew. I always love dressing up on the first day of class. I love shirts like this that are comfortable since; I’m a big believer if you wear something you are comfortable in, more likely you are going to feel confident in it. Of course, my Sperry Penny Loafers just scream back to school and are perfect for the occasion. I know with my upcoming Zoom class meetings I’ll be wearing more cute back to school outfits, so stay tuned!

CURRENTLY READING (JAN 2021)

Featuredby kellyprepsterLeave a Comment

OUTFIT DETAILS: TURTLENECK | SKIRT | WATCH | BRACELETS | NAILS

Hello! One of my goals for the new year is to read at least one book every month. I have always LOVED reading…I just don’t always make time for it. I decided it was time to make it a priority and recently started including it into my morning routine…talk about a game changer! I am currently reading two books (please tell me I’m not the only one who reads multiple books at the same time?!). I like reading two books because I’ll read one non-fiction and one fiction book…so I get the best of both worlds.

The non-fiction book I am currently reading is called “Influencer” by Brittany Hennessy. “Influencer” creates an interesting topic of the ins and outs of being (& becoming) a social media influencer. While my fiction book is called “Summer And The City” by Candace Bushnell. Ahhh I LOVE Candance Bushnell’s books, she is the author of Sex And The City….the book I am reading is part of her prequel series! I would love to hear about your favorite books or if you have any recommendations.

Hey there! Today I want to talk about one of my all time favorite perfumes. I think it’s so much fun to have a signature scent…a simple thing that makes you stand out. I have been wearing Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony Collection #2 perfume for what feels like forever now and still can’t get enough of it! I love how the scent is refreshing but not too overwhelming.

Of course, with my #45DaysOfPink Challenge going on I had to wear something pink! I love this Vineyard Vines long sleeve, it’s simple but a classic. My headband matches my shirt perfectly. Headbands are one of my new favorites and this one is so cute with the little pearls on it.

5 WAYS TO STYLE A SWEATER

Featuredby kellyprepster2 Comments

Hi friends! Oh my gosh…happy Wednesday!! That might be a first, since I usually only post on Tuesday and Thursday…but today is a special day. Today, I am doing my first ever blog collaboration with my new friend, Molly! Ahhhhh- this is so crazy to me and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been following Molly on Instagram @ gracefullygingham forever and we got talking and oh my gosh, y’all need to check her out (& her blog)!! We thought it would be fun to share 5 different ways to style a sweater for Fall. I am wearing the same sweater in all of these outfits and styled some of my favorite essentials to make 5 fun but easy-to-put together outfits, I hope you enjoy!

OUTFIT DETAILS: SWEATER (SIMILAR) | JEANS | BOOTS | WATCH

Eekksss, the first outfit is the most simple but you know what they say, “simple but effective”! I love wearing outfits like this, especially for transitioning into the Fall at the beginning of the season… or if you live somewhere a little warmer in the Fall. I just paired my favorite pair of skinny jeans from Abercombie and Fitch and this sweater together with a cute pair of booties.

OUTFIT DETAILS: SWEATER (SIMILAR) | TURTLENECK| SKIRT | BOOTS | WATCH

This outfit turned out to be my new favorite (I’m even wearing it in this video) and it’s a completely new layering combination for me….who would have thought a turtleneck under a sweater would look so cute!? I LOVE IT!!! I can’t forget to mention, how perfect this layering combination will be for cold snowy days (…eeekkkss not going to think about the cold weather…yet haha).

OUTFIT DETAILS: SWEATER (SIMILAR) | VEST| JEANS | BOOTS | WATCH

Fall is the perfect season for wearing a vest and they look adorable with a sweater underneath. This outfit is very similar to the first one; but all you have to do is throw a vest on top (of course I wanted to switch up my shoes haha). I love how easy vest are to layer and they are so practical for transiting into the Fall since some days are colder than others.

OUTFIT DETAILS: SWEATER (SIMILAR) | FLANNEL | JEANS | BOOTS | WATCH

If you know me, you might now this is my go-to Fall outfit. I have been obsessed with layering a flannel under a sweater since I got into the preppy style. I think it’s such a cute look and I love how the flannel (or button-down) you chose to wear underneath can make the sweater look totally different due to all the different color possibilities.

OUTFIT DETAILS: SWEATER (SIMILAR) | SKIRT | FLANNEL | LOAFERS | WATCH

Like the last outfit, this outfit includes a flannel under my sweater…what can I say, I love the look of it! I mention in this video, 5 ways to style a sweater, how you can change any outfit by changing what style bottoms you are wearing. I swapped out my high rise skinny jeans for this adorable skirt from J.Crew and love how different the outfit looks.

I would love to know which of the 5 outfits is your favorite, let me know in the comments! & A HUGE THANK YOU to Molly for collabing with me on this post, I am so grateful and exctied to be blogging friends (YOU are seriously soooo stinkin’ sweet)!!

CHEETAH PRINT AND STRIPES

Featuredby kellyprepsterLeave a Comment

Hi again! If you know me, you know how much I love mixing different prints and I love the look of mixing cheetah print and stripes together. I think mixing different prints together can make an ordinary outfit “POP”. This outfit is so simple, but that’s one of the many reasons I love it!

I love the look of a turtle neck tucked into high waisted jeans for Fall. My turtle neck is more fitted and is white with black stripes from Talbots. Every time I where this turtle neck I feel like I could be in New York working in the fashion world. I thought adding theses cheetah print loafers from VanEli would make this outfit “POP” a little more. Outfits like these are perfect for transitioning into Winter since you can just throw on a sweater or warm coat.

PUMPKIN PATCH DATE IN MY FAVORITE FALL DRESS

OUTFIT DETAILS: DRESS | BOOTS | WATCH | NECKLACE

Hello there! Oh my gosh, let’s talk about my new favorite Fall dress! This dress from Sailor-Sailor has been worn on repeat this season. Earlier this Fall, I shared a Fall bucket-list video on my YouTube and was so excited to go on a pumpkin patch date with my boyfriend, John! Turns out, we actually went to a Fall farm, which was just as much fun! The Fall farm had a sunflower field, pumpkin patches, hayrides, animals (eekksss see the baby goats?!) and lots of tasty Fall treats.

My dress is made of moisture wicking material which is so perfect for warmer Fall days or if you live where it’s pretty warm in the Fall. I think riding boots are a Fall essential and love styling them with dresses. These riding boots are some of my all time favorites. If you look closely on the last photo, I’m holding my Vlog camera since I vlogged going to the pumpkin patch if you want to watch on YouTube. It was such a fun Fall date idea and wearing the perfect outfit made it even better!

I had so much fun pairing them with these khaki corduroy pants. In my last blog post, I shared how I love to layer in the Fall and this outfit is a perfect example of layering. I love the look of a cable-knit sweater on top of a flannel button down shirt. What’s one of your favorite fashion trends for Fall?

This scarf is so perfect for Fall (& for transitioning into Winter)!Usually I’m not a fan of mixing navy and black but I think this scarf did a great job mixing them.

Hello! Ahhhh, I can’t believe its already Thursday- so crazy how fast this week has gone by! Today, I wanted to share with you this really bold outfit. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE mixing pink and red together and think it’s a bold color combination. I am definitely looking forward to Fall fashion but I am trying to wear all my favorite Summer outfits before the season’s over!

My Polo from Lacoste has been a favorite of mine for a few years now, it’s so preppy and pink! If you have been following me for a while, you already know about my obsession with J.Crew’s chino shorts, but if you’re new….hi, these shorts are my go-to! I thought pairing this bold color combination of an outfit would look extra fun with this JustFab purse. To match my all white purse, I wore my white sandals that matched.

I hope y’all follow along and are excited for future winter outfits (p.s. thanks for reading my blog- YOU ROCK)!

I have been LOVING this adorable monogramed T-shirt from one of my favorite Etsy stores. Tie die has been so trendy this year and it’s the perfect way to add a lot of color to any outfit. I had so much fun styling it with my favorite white shorts from J.Crew. These sandals from Palm Beach Sandals are great match, and I can’t forget to mention- SUPER comfy!

MY FIRST DESIGN…OF COURSE IT’S PINK

Featuredby kellyprepsterLeave a Comment

Happy Thursday everyone! Oh my gosh, it feels crazy sharing my first design with you! Over the Summer, I had a random burst of inspiration to start creating my own designs. After calling LOTS of different craft stores, I was finally able to find a sewing machine. Quarantine was definitely not the best time to start looking for a sewing machine… due to the high demand for mask making….oops! Luckily, I was able to find the perfect one trust me, there are TONS of different sewing machines to choose from and they all have different reviews. I have been watching YouTube tutorials like crazy!

I knew going into my first design with no prior sewing knowledge it was going to be difficult (…I probably should have started with something smaller) but, gosh, was it so much fun! I love how this shirt turned out to be exactly what I had envisioned and made it come to life. I think pink and red together are such a bold color combination. I had so much fun styling this tee with my favorite jean shorts and sparkly sandals. I am definitely looking forward to finding other fun ways to style this tee and to making MANY more designs….don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share them!

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH VERA BRADLEY

Featuredby kellyprepster2 Comments

Hey everyone! I can’t believe it’s already back to school season…this Summer flew by! One of my favorite things about a new school year is a fun backpack and this pink one is SOOOO me. I had to be sure to include my Day Designer planner since that is how I stay organized during the semester.

Even with having online classes, I have been loving this backpack from Vera Bradley. Vera Bradley has the cutest prints and my tumbler from them is one of my new favorites! I have also been wearing these sneakers like crazy! I personally think sneakers are the perfect Summer to Fall transitional piece. This Navy Superga sneakers are a preppy classic and I can’t wait to keep styling them.

Hey there! Ahhh, how it almost the end of Summer?! I can’t believe it’s almost time for school to start again…but I’m looking forward to Fall fashion! One of my favorite things about the end of the Summer is sunflowers! This sunflower patch I went to was so beautiful and I was so excited to take a few pictures there.

I personally love wearing all white, even after Labor day…rules are meant to be broken, right?! These J.Crew chino shorts are some of my all time favorites! They are so cute and comfortable- perfect for any Summertime activity. My JustFab purse matches the outfit so well and is so easy to style!

The PERFECT Blue Romper

Featuredby kellyprepsterLeave a Comment

OUTFIT DETAILS: Romper | Shoes | Purse | Sunnies | Bracelets

Hi guys!! Today we are going to talk about the outfit that can do it all. This navy blue romper from Cabana Life is the perfect day to night outfit! It can be styled casual enough to go out for a girls day or dressed up for a dinner date.

Cabana Life’s clothing is UPF 50 protection which makes it great for being outside in the Summer sun, since your skin is being protected and you’re going to look great! I love how a little heel like these adorable sandals from JustFab can really dress up this romper. The tassels on the end of the belt are just so fun and add the cutest details to such a simple outfit.

Pretty In Pink

Featuredby kellyprepsterLeave a Comment

Hi-ya, happy Tuesday! Ahhh, I can’t express my love for all pink outfits…if you haven’t noticed yet, pink is my favorite color haha! This Summer I really played around with styling monochromatic outfits (if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen quite a bit of them in the last few months). One of my favorite things about styling monochromatic outfits is mixing different patterns and textures together since they will match due to being the same color. Of course, I can’t forget to mention how adding different color accessories to any monochromatic outfits will really make them POP!

I just adore these J.Crew baby pink gingham chino shorts; they have been in my wardrobe FOREVER….such a classic piece for the preppy girl! This tank top has been an essential for me this Summer. Seriously….I have it in three different colors! One of my mottos is: if you like something, get it in every color. It’s perfect for keeping cool in HOT temperatures and is also just extremely cute.

Rainbow Row

Featuredby kellyprepster1 Comment

Oh my goodness, hi friends! Last week I was traveling and didn’t have service to post to the blog (… it made for a nice social media detox, haha gosh… I can’t believe I am saying that but it was RELAXING). John, my boyfriend, and I went to Charleston and saw Rainbow Row. Seeing Rainbow Row has been on my “bucket list” for years and it was just as beautiful as I imagined! Charleston was so much fun and such a cute city, definitely looking forward to visiting again sometime…I mean I could totally see my future self living in the pink house on Rainbow Row…Just saying!

My green dress was the perfect outfit for the warm temperatures in Charleston and not to mention super cute for exploring the city! I’m still looking for a cute, pink, re-useable face mask but have been wearing these blue ones like CRAZY! We only took ours off for a few pictures when no one was around. This adorable purse from JustFab matched the outfit perfectly and fits all the essentials. I love how my Palm Beach Sandals tied the whole outfit together and made the green really POP!

My Favorite Summer Sweater

Featuredby kellyprepster1 Comment

Hi there! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it’s already Thursday…it’s been such a busy week! I found the cutest little secret garden and snapped a few pictures while I was there. I know, I know….I might seem crazy for wearing a sweater in the middle of Summer, but this is the perfect lightweight sweater (and… I might be just a little crazy haha)! I love the anchor details that are on the sleeves, such an unique design.

Monochromatic outfits are one of my all time favorites! There is just something about wearing all one color that just makes me feel so put together. This sweater paired with jean shorts is definitely a new look for me! Of course, a splash of color is always fun and my bright red purse makes a statement.

Saying Howdy To My New Boots From A Rider Girl

Featuredby kellyprepster4 Comments

Howdy, welcome back to my blog! I figured while sharing these adorable cowgirl boots from A Rider Girl, it would only be appropriate to use “howdy” as a greeting. I’ve always had a pair of cowgirl boots on my dream fashion wish list and it’s safe to say…I added more cowgirl boots in different styles to the list! (Every one has a dream fashion wish list….right?!) These boots are so comfortable and not to mention super cute! I can definitely see myself wearing and styling them year round.

I recently rewatched, The Hanna Montana Movie, one of my all time favorite movies and got the itch to style a pair of cowgirl boots. A Rider Girl was so sweet and sent me my first pair to try out and style. My first time styling my new boots, I kept it pretty simple with a fun Summertime tank top and a pair of my favorite skinny jeans. I’m looking forward to finding many more ways to style my new boots and will be sure to share all of those outfits with you!
