Southern Shirt Co: new additions!

I just got a new tshirt.

And a new tank.

I'm like in love with them.

Order yours here.

I love their shirts so much because they are just so classy, comfy, cute, and southern.

What more could you want, right?

I had some fun taking pictures of these.

Don't you just love the bow ties?

And I say again, so soft, so cute.

My tank is in Sapphire blue.

I love the tank because it works as an awesome cover up too!

I couldn't resist posting this. I have too much fun in front of my mirror. Excuse my science project-bug collection in the background. Highschool problems.

I'm also going to buy the pullover! You can wear it all year round! Isn't it legit or what?

I've been in love with southern shirts for a while now, but I thought I'd share my newest additions and how adorable and amazing they are!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. I am going to a camp this week! Leaving this Sunday and getting back next Friday! Won't post during that time but will be right back to bloggin as soon as I arrive home!

Man of Steel

It is a thursday night and I am tired from almost a week of nonstop boring drivers ed, so I will post something random. 

Deal with it ok I have been sitting in a room with metal chairs and tires and people who have no fashion sense. Therefore I lack inspiration.

I saw Man of Steel this week!

I didn't really know what I was expecting; I had read that the movie wasn't all that great, but the superhero fanatic that I am (did I really just say that out loud?!), I figured I would probably still like it anyways.

The story of Superman has been retold and remade and retold and remade for decades. Since the 1930s, Superman has been considered the greatest superhero.

Remember several years ago when "Superman Returns" came out?

Yeah, I didn't either until it was mentioned and I vaguely remember seeing it.

It was meant to be a reboot, but that sort of failed.

Anyways, Man of Steel is meant to be a reboot. 

I would say that it will probably work.

MoS could have been better. It dragged out a good bit, way too many things blew up, and there was one fight scene after another. 

Now I know what you are thinking. "It is a superhero action movie, it is supposed to have those things in there". 

No.

You don't understand.

This movie overdid it.

I mean there were so many explosions, falling buildings, punches, explosions, fire, falling buildings, fights, fire, crumbling buildings, exploding buildings, exploding cars....etc.

It was insane and I got a bit tired of it.

Most of the time I can handle that stuff.

I don't often admit it, but I love action movies, especially the superhero ones.

hehe

hehehaha

i just love them ok

{Now that we've gotten that embarresing part of myself out of the way, and settled the fact that, yes, that completely goes against my general personality...}

Therefore I am used to seeing that much stuff.

But in my opinion this movie had too much of it. 

But also in my opinion, that was probably the only thing I could really point out that I didn't like about it. 

On the upside, the story was great.

I can't really remember much about the Superman story,so I don't know if the movie stuck to the original story, but my brother never made a comment about it not, so I assume it did. 

And on the upside, Henry Cavill is pretty awesome as superman.

Yeah.

On another note he looks JUST LIKE somebody I know. 
When I say just like, I mean he could be his brother, maybe even twin.
Which of course is weird.
Try walking into church and seeing superman.
Weird, I know.

and hey look it's Amy Adams. Therefore the movie is awesome.


Ok so I know that this post was pretty random, and nothing like what I have been or will be posting on my blog.
But I felt just like sharing my thoughts with you on this.
Superheroes rock.
So do monograms.
And chevron.
And the beach.
And swimming.
And vineyard vines.
And lilly pullitzer.
And bow-backed dresses.
Yeah, there we go.

Endless

Summer.

Everybody looks forward to it.

{If you don't you have issues}

Summer is loved because it is freedom.

Even if you may not say it that way, we enjoy summer because we are free.
No annoying school deadlines, late night study sessions, nothing to keep you from having fun, doing what you want to do, and being who you want to be.

BLISS

Do you feel like sometimes you live for "summer"?

Not necessarily the season, but more of the state of mind?

For me, summer is more of a state of mind.

We go through each day, but the only thing that gets us through is the thought that something better, freeing, and blissful comes after all this hard work.

We look forward to summer, and we think in our minds, "FINALLY. Now I can do what I want, go where I want. Be free. BE ME. Live life for fun. Nothing to worry about, all fun in the sun."

Do you ever feel disappointed?

Because I do.

Summer has become something different entirely over the years.

Nothing is wrong with it, but I feel it leaves us with unrealistic expectations of what lies ahead of us. 

Nothing is wrong with having fun during the summer, and even though sometimes summer doesn't end up exactly the way I wanted it, I end up leaving it full of joy. It is always fun. We are free. We are happy. Summer is wonderful.

But there is something to be said about only living for what is coming next.
I feel like maybe we should live every single day like it is summer.

Why can't we capture that sun and surf those waves every day?

Instead of living life like you are lost at sea, waiting endlessly until you find the shore full of celebration, warmth, and hope, dance on the wet sand.


Enjoy the summer that you are living in right now.

Make every day a party.

Every day is warmth.

Instead of riding the faris wheel, with your only goal being to get to the top, try finding the beauty all around the circle.
