This Weeks Top 10



Hey Everyone! So I've thought of something great that will keep me on track with constantly posting at least every week. Starting today, I am going to post my "week's top 10." Hence the name, I will be posting my top 10 ten of what ever seems to be  interesting me that week! I hope you all will love it, and I would love to hear what you think. Always remember to leave a comment of what you think!

Xoxo,

1. Alright, I might be jumping the gun a little bit on this one but if you haven't check out Kate Spade's  Valentine's day collection.. you should get to it, It's totally swoon worthy!

2. Recently last week I found out that for my family trip this summer, we are taking a trip up to New England! I've been dreaming of finally getting to visit there! We will be visiting Boston, Martha's Vineyard, and Rhode Island. Check out this super cute hotel in Edgartown were are visiting!

3. Elections are coming right around the corner (sadly, I will still be 17 in November.) Vineyard Vines made these super cute political party shirts! Which party do you side with?

4. I don't know if your skin is like mine, but for as long as I can remember I get these red bumps and I don't have the most smooth skin; I've heard that Dickenson's witch hazel works miracles.. hope it works!

5. I love love love listing to/ finding new music. Spotify has to be hands down (next to Pinterest, hey go follow me @jillybeaannn13) my favorite and most used apps. I always create a playlist for every month, or at least try too. Im currently obsessing over Vampire Weekend & Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners

6. I'm dying to get over to J.Crew, they have their newest arrivals in stores now. How perfect their new look-book is!

7. I find myself finding any excuse to bake these chocolate chip cookies. Thanks to Pinch of Yum I have found THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe, everyone goes crazy for them. I definitelywill be doing a blog post incorporating this recipe soon.

8. For Christmas my sister Jenna received a pair of black Hunter boots. I'm constantly asking for her permission to borrow them. A definite investment is these adorable Military Red pair.

9. New year new resolutions.. right? I've found a bunch of easy recipes for eating clean.. hopefully I can stick to this resolution! (Check out my pointers boards to find the recipes)

10. Last but not least, Netflix finnnnallyyyy added the final season to my favorite show, Parks and Recreation. Can't wait to finish this series, it will be very bitter sweet. I mean after all, isn't Leslie Knope everyone's inspiration?

Weekends are for Brunching!










Hey everyone!
Now that a long week is over, it's great to spend quality time with a great friend. My best friend Julianna is a blogger as well (go and check out her blog ballerinagypsy.blogspot.com, her style is incredible!) so we decided to create our first blog collaboration today. What's a weekend without some brunch and coffee? This little cafe we visited is like a little taste of Paris, what a dream it would be to visit some day!

How are you planning to spend your long weekend? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear!

Xoxo,

How to Survive Your Spring Semester (The Successful way)

Hi everyone!
This week began the start of the second semester for me as well as many other students. The Spring semester is always so difficult, it is usually the time where I just wanna throw in the towel and call it a day. I mean, with spring break and summer coming close, it's hard not for us to mentally "check out" from our responsibilities. But don't you dare think to do that! Dare to strive to do even better then the previous semester. It may seem easier said than done, but hopefully it would become a reality to all of you. I've discovered a few helpful tips to help become a more productive student and also will help with striving to do your very best when finishing out the school year.

Take care of yourself..
Always find some time to get some fresh air and exercise. Okay, okay, this seems like the most cliché saying out there, but I've learned it to be true! As a junior in high school the stress of 11th grade really adds up from balancing all of your schoolwork to making time for your family and friends to everything in between. It almost beings to feel unbearable. This year I vowed I would begin to run, just by getting outside and being active really takes a load off of my responsibilities. Running doesn't have to be your thing but simply going for a walk outside can really relive your stress and make you more focused on what you need to accomplish.

Get a Planner...
Planners have helped me tremendously in becoming more productive and efficient with school. There's so many cute ones to choose from its hard to pick just one! I listed a few of my favorites to help you make your pick. Planners are a definite must in becoming more on track with what you need to do. Another promise I've made to myself in the beginning of the school year is to become more and more organized with what I need to turn in, who I need to meet with, and upcoming club meetings or events. With that being said, these help tremendously with all of that! I love color and I've learned to become a organized person so I enjoy color-coding my assignments so I always know what I need to bring and what I don't. 

Become a Morning Person..
Become a morning person, did I just say that?? Waking up early is something that EVERYONE hates. Especially if you're up all night studying (or trying to study.) I have learned to enjoy waking up early, strangely. To train yourself to start your day in a good mood, play some up-beat music, drink a glass of ice water, make your bed, make a breakfast you enjoy and drink some good coffee! Little things like these will help motivate you to wake up and smell the roses! Waking up in a good mood will set the course of your day of productivity and success. 

Always Find Time for Yourself..
Treat yo self! All of this is obviously extremely important, but you can't get to wrapped up in what you're doing that you don't just give yourself a break! Always make time to do something nice to yourself as a reward for all the hard work you constantly invest in: learn a new recipe, use a bath bomb, spend time with your friends, go shopping! A happy you is a main factor in being productive and finishing strong.

 Make sure to comment, I love to hear your thoughts! 

XOXO,
Jillian

Happy Sweet (two thousand) '16!









Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe that another new year is already here, it's insane how short 2015 was! Last year was definitely a fun filled year with many new experiences, adventures, and memories along the way; I'm excited too see what this new year has in store for my life as well as Fabulously Floridian! I am so excited to post this considering this outfit is a collection of a few of my favorite pieces I got for Christmas. Today Kyle and I explored a nature center, taking advantage of the warm winter that Florida has to offer.I hope you all have a very sweet 2016 ahead of you and I can't wait to see all that this year brings for everyone!

Xoxo,
Jillian
