Preppy Diaries: Mountain Style

Mountain Prep 
This look is from my recent trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Most of the trip I stuck with outfits very similar to this one so I thought I would just share one. My trip mainly consisted of going out to eat and relaxing so I didn't need anything to fancy. So, I mainly packed chino shorts with a variety of tops. For this look I paired my favorite denim shirt with a pair of plum lavender chino shorts. I love this denim shirt because you can literally wear it with everything, and I have. It is for sure one of my best purchases. When it came to accessories I only packed my favorite pieces that could work with everything I brought. So I have a statement necklace, my watch, and a few Alex and Ani bangles on. Also, my go-to sunglasses with my Lilly Pulitzer croakies. 


Isn't this view gorgeous! This was our view from our cabin where we were staying. It was unbelievable. And since I'm from the very flat Illinois I don't get to see mountains often. I could stare at that view all day. 


Where it's from: 
Shirt: J Crew 
Shorts: J Crew 
Necklace: J Crew 
Bag: Longchamp 
Bracelets: Nordstrom & Alex and Ani 
Belt: Aerie (old) 
Shoes: Jack Rogers 
Watch: Henri Bendel 
Sunglasses: Forever 21 


This necklace is perfect to bring on trips because it can go with basically everything!

Follow Me Around: Smokey Mountains

Smokey Mountains 
Here are some pictures from my awesome trip to Tennessee and the Smokey Mountains. I also visited a friend in Knoxville so some of these shots are from there. I fully embraced the southern lifestyle while I was there. I could honestly see myself living there in the future! Who doesn't love sweet tea, slow pace lifestyle, and biscuits? (The trip made me question why I didn't go to school in the south!)


Some shots of Market Square in Knoxville. It was full of cute little restaurants and boutiques. Adorable is an understatement! The city was super cool because it was very souther and preppy but also very eclectic and boho. In other words it was a very cool place!





Here are some views from our super cool cabin we had for a few days. I have never seen such a beautiful view. These mountains are gorgeous. However, driving up the hills to get to our cabin was a bit of a nail bitter. 



My lovely family and I in front of the Smokey Mountain sign. We love a good tourist picture. 



A trip wouldn't be complete without a "throw up what you know up" picture right? I will say this one is an amazing view so I think its acceptable. 






I also sported this new Fraternity Collection tank for the first time on my trip. I am in love with it! Its super cute but oh so comfortable.
