Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Picks
Hip hip hooray, it's here! Today is the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale! Twice a year, Lilly holds a sale on pieces from recent seasons, and it's my favorite time of the year to buy new Lilly! Honestly, I very rarely pay full price for anything Lilly because I'm working with a college student budget. I tried waiting to get through the MASSIVE online line this morning, but the site kept crashing. So, I popped on during my lunch break at work to check things out! There are some great …
Wisdom Wednesday: There’s More to Come… And It’s Something Beautiful.
It's been almost a year since I wrote my last Wisdom Wednesday post. Back when I first started creating consistent content for Bowtiful Life, back in high school and at the beginning of college, these were always my favorite posts to write. Now, when I go through and read old content, the Wisdom Wednesday posts always stand out to me. Later this month I will be celebrating my 5 year blogging anniversary.(!!!) It's truly eye opening to look back at posts from years past and see that although so …

2016 – Year in Review
2016 flew by in a blur and 2017 has sounded so far away, until recently! This year was a bit crazy for me. I met some amazing people, had opportunities to partner with some super cool companies and brands, traveled outside of the USA for the first time in my life, started my last year of college, was the busiest I've ever been in my life, and so much more! I'm truly grateful for all of the experiences that 2016 has brought me and I can't wait to see what 2017 has in …

Sparkling Snowfall Bowtiful Wallpaper
Finals are finally over!!! I don't think I have ever been quite this excited to finish off a semester... This year has been amazing so far, but life has been SO incredibly busy!

With …

Scarf - Banana Republic Skirt (This similar version is less than $15!) - Mulberry Alexa Bag (Retired, but available secondhand.) - J.Crew Tights - BP. Booties - Nars Lip …
December ’16 Playlist
Happy December, lovelies! It seems like I say it every month, but this one seriously flew by for me... Finals are next week, so I've been listening to a lot of music while working on my various projects and papers. That being said, I'm absolutely loving this month's playlist and I hope you all enjoy it as well! ~ Listen on Spotify ~ If any of you are also prepping for finals, good luck! This time of year can get a bit crazy, but the holidays are right around the corner! …
