ELEGANTLY ELLE

So, obviously I'm like the majority of people and absolutely love Amazon Prime! Today I am sharing some of my favorite Amazon Prime purchases and many of the items that I am constantly reordering, because it is so easy to just order them on Amazon and have them shipped to me in 2 days. Reoccurring Purchases Amazon Basic 6ft lightning cords  - These are so great for under $10, I am constantly breaking or loosing or just needing another charger. Floral Arrangements - These can be SO expensive to have delivered from flower shops, but if you know ahead of time you can order beautiful flowers off of Amazon for far less! Velvet Hangers  - I am constantly shopping, which causes me to need more hangers, so it's great to be able to just order more whenever I run out! The Couple Next Door  - I just finished this book a few weeks ago and it was SO good, if you haven't read my review, you can read it  here ! This can be categorized under "reoccurring pouches, because...

I cannot believe it's already over halfway through the month! This month's wish list consists of some of my favorite summer pieces that I am considering ordering. I love summer fashion, however, I work as a nanny which means that I really don't wear the type of cute clothes everyday in the summer, which is really disappointing because it's hard to justify buying them. You can see below all of my July summer wish list picks! ONE Top Shop Smocked Button Top TWO BP. Flutter Sleeve Peplum Linen Top THREE Navy Wide Bow Sun Hat FOUR Free People Beau Print Slipdress FIVE Lydelle Wide Leg Jumpsuit SIX Steve Madden Espadrille Sandals SEVEN Everleigh Sleeveless Tulle Tank EIGHT Madewell Folk Fortune Bali Rattan Roundie Bag          Save Save Save

There's nothing I love more than sitting by my pool reading a great book in the summer sun! The type of books that I tend to be drawn to are ones that are really able to keep my attention, because otherwise I will not finish reading them! Today's book recommendation is no exception! It was such a quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. This past weekend I finished reading The Couple Next Door and I HIGHLY recommend it! If you have read the book The Girl on the Train, you will absolutely love this book! It's the perfect "beach book" because it's a serious page turner! I don't read a ton and I finished this book in ONE week, so you know from that what a great read it is! Without giving anything away... this novel is really able to keep your attention because there are constant plot twists right up until the end! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and really never got boring like a lot of books because it shied away...

Well, I am officially starting my back to school series for this summer today, well this is more like back to college, but anyways... I thought that I should get this post up relatively early in July because of the fact that it took me all summer to get everything I need for my first year of college last summer. So, today I am sharing my Ultimate College Freshman Packing List! I am not kidding when I say I have been working on this list since at least February in order to be sure that I have thought of everything possible that you would need. Above is my Freshman dorm room during my second semester. I also created a blog post with my complete Freshman Dorm Room Tour  with photos, organization, and links to pretty much everything in my room! This list is designed for the most common college Freshman set up, where you have corridor style bathrooms, not for suite style, which is what I had for my Freshman year. However, if you are in a suite style room, you would need...

Happy Thursday! This summer Thursday's have become one of my favorite days of the week, because I have been nannying Monday-Thursday each week, so Thursdays have turned into my Fridays now! Today I am sharing one of my new go to outfits for this summer! It's perfect for the evening when it's still warm out but not scorching! These pants are quickly becoming  favorite because they are linen so that makes them light, which is great for summer, and they are also very cute and super comfortable. This past weekend I started reading "The Couple Next-door" at the pool and I cannot believe how quickly it's flying by. I am already halfway through reading it and so far it's a great book! I will be sharing a book recommendation next week about it so stay toned! Behind the scenes of these photos is the always adorable Sam! SHOP MY OUTFIT
