June Favorites

Where the whole month of June went, I'm not really sure. It has been an amazing summer so far and I'm so sad that it's half way over. Here are a few things I've been loving this month:

My pink Volunteer Traditions ball cap

Starbuck's Iced Chai Tea Latte

May or may not have accidentally ordered a Tai Chi latte before.

I bought this bag when I was in NYC earlier this month! It's a tad small, but I love the color!

I got the MAC lipstick in Lovelorn for my Back to MAC. I typically don't do lipstick, but I absolutely love this, because it's a pop of color without being too out there.

Hope everyone had a great June!

J.Crew Tilda Top

I mentioned this top in my last Wishlist Wednesday. I love it, because it's so versatile! You can dress it up or wear it more casual. Here are some ways I'd style it:

Love this business look! I paired it with a navy J.Crew suit and Michael Kors pumps. 

You can tell I love business looks. The pops of red in the J.Crew cardigan and Tory Burch flats make this fun for a casual Friday.

I just love this look with a Lilly Pulitzer skirt, a Tory Burch crossbody, and silver Jack's!

With Tory Burch flats and Longchamp, this would be so great as a transition in to fall!

The top spices up my typical summer uniform of Jack's and Lilly shorts.

Happy Saturday!

Email Address and Blog Changes!

I hope everyone has had a great Friday! Today I changed my blog name from The Polka Dot Prep to Monograms and A Mustang. I thought Polka Dot Prep was cute, but it didn't really describe me. My new name gives more of a glimpse of me. I came up with it, because I monogram everything in sight and drive a mustang!

Also, I made an email address for this blog today. I would love y'all to email me! It's monogramsandamustang@yahoo.com!

What's in my pool/beach/lake bag?

I'm super excited, because I'm going to the lake tomorrow! I just wanted to share some of my essentials for the water!

I got my bag last year for my birthday. I love it, because it's water resistant. You can find it in the new prints at Lifeguard Press. Also from Lifeguard Press, my Lilly Pulitzer tumbler and my croakies.

Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Hat: Volunteer Traditions

Have a great weekend!

Redoing My Bedroom: Monograms

As a monogram-aholic, I'll definitely be incorporating many monograms in my new room.

I've seen several DIY lampshades with felt and cute ribbons!

Love the big monogram decals they have on Etsy.

I want to do a smaller wooden monogram with a ribbon to hang on my door. They have some really cute and inexpensive options on Etsy.

Obsessed with these accessories from this adorable Etsy shop

Wish List Wednesday

How cute are the gators on this phone case?

These riding boots are perfection! They make me so excited for crisp fall days!

I'm trying to get more in to working out and cute new workout pants and an adorable, monogrammed mat definitely wouldn't hurt(:

What's not to love about this skirt?

Hunter Hayes' New Album

Like stop what you're doing and buy this album.

When I Want Crazy from this album came out, I literally couldn't stop listening to it... And the new songs are just perfect.

Redoing My Bedroom: Bedding

I redid my room as one of my Christmas presents when I was in 6th grade. It's nice and classic with a black, white, and red color scheme, but after almost five years, I'm ready for something new! I've always loved Lilly Pulitzer for Garnet Hill bedding. I was going to buy the scarlet begonias duvet, however it sold out before I could. Recently, they released the scarlet begonias sheet set. I'm absolutely obsessed with how it looks with the fluffy white bedding.

I think this would be adorable with some fun throw pillows!

Super Cute and Fun DIY

I was thinking I could get a monogram in the center!

Etsy

I would love these in the matching print!
