Escape More & Win Cabana Life for a Year!

Dress: c/o Cabana Life (Get 20% off your order with code "GIRLMEETSBOW20") || Wedges: Antonio Melani (sold out, similar here, here, & gorgeous splurge!) || Apple Watch with this band || Earrings: c/o Lisi Lerch

Hey friends- well the fun just keeps on coming this week and today's post is no exception! Over the past year I've shared my love for Cabana Life with you- their SPF 50 clothing is as pretty as it is practical- and today y'all get the chance to WIN it for yourself!

Across the country it is bone-chillingly cold (even here in Florida it's in the 40s!) and when it gets this frigid it always makes me want to escape! Escape the cold, escape the routine, escape the ordinary! Since I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't have a private jet at my beck and call to take me away, clothing can be just as fun and still help me to (mentally) escape. I absolutely love the Cabana Life mentality this season to Escape the Sun & Escape in style (what other way is there)?! 

To help y'all "escape" Cabana Life is giving away a year's worth of clothing! Yep- you can win a wardrobe for a year! You can either enter to win here or check out my Instagram later today for another way to enter! (Just look for the photo at this pretty pink hotel!)

Let's Catch Up! + $500 Nordstrom GIVEAWAY!

Skirt: J. Crew || Tee: old, similar here || Sandals: Sam Edelman Gigi || 42mm Apple Watch with This Band || Bangles: Bourbon and Bowties || Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne

Happy Wednesday friends! I feel like I have so much to catch up with you on- so let's get to some super random ramblings, shall we?

My girl Biana recently recommended the new show The Bold Type, and after episode 1 I was hooked! It's like a mix of Sex and the City & How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and such a fun show! It's loosely based on Joanna Coles (the Editor in Chief of Cosmo) so it's a peek behind the scenes of a women's fashion and lifestyle magazine (although let's be real- it's totally exaggerated!) - but I love it regardless. There's only three episodes so far, so still plenty of time if you want to catch up.

The Colorful Romper Your Closet Needs! + A $1000 GIVEAWAY

Romper: Lilly Pulitzer Klea Romper (can also be found here) || Sandals: Palm Beach Sandals || Tassel Earring: Fab'rik South Tampa || Clutch: Sophie & Trey (old, similar option here- under $25!) || Apple Watch

Hey y'all! There is not better way to start off a brand new week than this bright & happy romper! Summertime is basically synonymous with Lilly Pulitzer and I was smitten the moment I saw this brand new romper! As I'm sure you ladies can agree, off the shoulder tops can be hard to wear (hello limited range of arm motion)- so I love a sassy cold-shoulder! Another winning factor of this piece? The breathable cotton fabric (can I get an ah-men?)! This girl doesn't enjoy sweating in a poly-blend ;) All you need are some lightweight tassel earrings & your favorite sandals and you're ready for a day downtown. I'm definitely ready for more summer fun to come!

PS- Keep reading to the end of this post for an AMAZING $1000 giveaway!! Eek! So much fun!

J. Crew Striped Top + Oka-B Giveaway WINNER!

Top: J. Crew // Jeans: J. Crew "Toothpick" Jeans // Clutch: Marley Lilly (sold out, similar style monogrammed clutch) // Flats: c/o Oka-B Sutton // Apple Watch

Happy Monday!! Today is full of fun, not only do I have a brand new look share with you (Can you even believe those ruffles?!), but I also get to share the winner of my Oka-B giveaway!! Drumroll please... Ashley E! I will be emailing you to claim your prize today so be on the lookout :) You have 48 hours to email me back! Thank you to everyone for supporting the blog and entering the giveaway!

Now onto today's new look :) I kind of flipped out the minute I saw this gorgeous top- I mean, can you even with those ruffles?! I couldn't order it fast enough once it went on sale on Black Friday!! And then I had to wait, and wait, and wait for it to come in (sad face). I was SO nervous that I wouldn't come in in time for these photos... but it just made it before I left the house! #Praise 

Also, can I just gush for a minute on these jeans?! I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit my curves, but last time I was in J. Crew my girl Anne Marie suggested I try the "Toothpick" style. Let's be honest, nothing about me is a toothpick, so I wasn't too sure, but she assured me that it only referred to the skinny leg and that they were a great fit. And y'all she was so right! I seriously can't rave enough about the comfort, stretch, and overall fit!

My Weekend Uniform + $1,000 Target GIVEAWAY!!

Chambray: J. Crew Factory // Pants: Lilly Pulitzer (another option here) // Boots: Sam Edelman Penny- I wear the wide calf version // Necklace: RJ Graziano (option here) // Crossbody: Old Navy

Wow y'all- today could seriously not be packed with more fun!! Tuesdays are always kind of blah, so I'm changing that with two exciting things...

ONE. Today's look! Goodness y'all, I could not love today's outfit more if I tried and to be quite honest, although it may be it's first time on the blog, it's definitely not the first (or last) time I've worn it in "real" life! I'm such a sucker for a great chambray top, and believe it's the answer to any closet question, and i'm fan-girling over the tunic length of this top- it makes it perfect for leggings! Also, how many times do I have to wear these pants before it becomes a serious addiction?! Pretty sure I'm one wear away from a 12-Step program- ha!

TWO. I've teamed up with some fun gals for a HUGE giveaway that's sure to make your holiday season more merry and bright! Scroll to the bottom of this post for all the details on how to enter :)

Happy December + My Favorite Shoes + A GIVEAWAY!

Happy December y'all! I can hardly believe that my favorite month is here and Christmas is only a few weeks away!! Although the pace of this year is flying by, I'm really trying to savor the moments of this sweet month of celebration and reflection. So I figured what better way to start the month than a super fun giveaway?!

Black Mixed Media Sweater // Jeans // Wedges // Tassel Clutch

If you've been reading here any length of time, than it's no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Oka-B shoes and wear them on the regular! They are all made of high-quality, non-absorbant materials that literally wash clean (perfect for beach trips and outdoor excursions) and they are extremely comfortable. I always love that they have fun details like bows and tassels too- so cute :)

Well, I don't want to keep all this goodness to myself, so today I've teamed up with Oka-B to give away a pair of shoes to one of you my friends!! That's right, scroll to the bottom of this post and enter through the rafflecopter for your chance to win and pair of shoes from the website!

Now for a little walk (get it... ha!) through memory lane & some of my favorite Oka-B's!

Felicity & Coco Dress + Sephora Gift Card GIVEAWAY!

Dress: Nordstrom Felicity & Coco // Shoes: Target // Clutch: Sophie and Trey (similar) // Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne in Magenta // Sunglasses: Target // Bangles: Bourbon and Bowties

Hey y'all and happy Monday! If you follow along on Insta or Snapchat then you know I spent the weekend in Chicago with my gal pal Stephanie and some of my florida girls who happened to be in Chicago for the weekend too- it was so much fun! They weather was wonderful and it truly felt like fall (sixty degrees!!) and it was dreamy to be able to wear my jeans and flannel! Definitely a far cry from the steamy weather back here in Florida...

The First Day of Football Season + Target GIVEAWAY!

Plaid: J. Crew (similar here under $30) // Jeans: Loft // Sandals: Palm Beach Sandals // Apple Watch // Necklace: Target (old, similar here)

Goodness y'all... Thank you SO much for all your sweet comments and fun feedback on yesterday's post! I have so much fun getting more personal with you and I'm looking forward to bringing you more posts that share more about me and my life behind the blog!

But today I am super excited because I get to talk to you about something else I am crazy passionate about- Gator football!! If you're new around here, I'm a University of Florida alumni & I LIVE for college football season & cheering on my boys in orange and blue!! So what better way to kick off football season than talking about tailgate style?? :)

Now if you're thinking, "Gentry, isn't it too hot to wear jeans in Florida right now?"  You would be right! But at the beginning of the season no tailgate style is cute, because it ends up drenched in sweat (after all our stadium is called The Swamp)! ha! So today I'm sharing more "mid-season" style - when the weather finally cools off! Since I'm an alumni now (#SoOld) I like to play up the "preppy/collegiate" style and this button up is perfect for that! Paired with cuffed jeans and gold sandals, it's a great look for partaking in all the tailgating fun before the game & cheering on my boys during all 4 quarters!

So today I'm hoping  I can break it down for you and share what this sale is, why it's awesome, and everything you need to know to shop it with ease! Sound good? Then let's get started...

Eyelet Lace Babydoll Dress + Weekender GIVEAWAY!

Dress: Wyatt via Bluefly (on sale for under $35!) // Heels: Target // Apple Watch

I shared this dress a few weeks ago during my Currently Obsessing Over post and I wanted to circle back and show you what it looked like "in real life". I have to tell y'all I'm totally a fan! I love a good swingy, loose dress and this one fits the bill perfectly (without making you lose your shape!) It's also a really high quality material- much more than I expected- so that's a great surprise! I went simple when accessorizing so that the shape of the dress took center stage, and the results are the perfectly easy look I love. Bonus: this dress is now on sale for under $35! (So jelly!)

I'm also thrilled today to bring you an AMAZING giveaway for the Carolina Dandy weekender that I adore! Details on how to enter at the end of the post :)

Workweek Chic: Lavender Peplum + iTunes GIVEAWAY!

Peplum Top: Banana Republic (on sale! Runs big, size down) // Pants: Gap (old, these are super similar) // Wedges: J. Crew Factory // Necklace: Jordan Emmitt // Apple Watch

Lately dressing for work has been so much more fun! I don't know if it's the gorgeous Spring weather (oh bright colors I love you so...) or a re-newed career drive that's making me want to up the ante on my look (dress for the job you want, right?) but there are no workweek blues here! 

It may also help that lately Banana Republic has been bringing their A-game and I can't get enough! I've raved about this peplum top so much, it's time that I shared it with y'all :) And lucky for you it's now on major sale! In fact... I love it so much I picked it up in white! Fit tip: It does run big, so size down and you'll need to wear a tank top under for work as the back is sheer. Happy work week wearing!
