{Sephora spring sale favorites}

 I'm doing something a bit different this year for the sale... I'm just going to put a large image of every single product that I'm buying and everything I love and have purchased multiple times (sometimes 12x plus haha). This way it's a quick easy click for y'all! I know tons of other bloggers are sharing their picks too. So while this may not be the prettiest collage it's the easiest and most straight forward!

I appreciate y'all shopping with my links as I do earn a tiny commission (really only dollars but every bit counts)! I am forever thankful for the support!

Love Always,

{the perfect white maxi dress}



The second I saw this dress in January I hit purchase... it's no secret that I have a deep love for white dresses here. I love the way it pairs against my brunette hair and any colorful accessory I add on!













Shoot Location: Kimpton Key West, Ridley House

The quality is actually phenomenal for it being an Amazon find! The cotton is really soft and the lace detailing is perfect. It has a lining so you don't have to worry about it being see through. It does go low on me so the first time I wore it I used some double sided fashion tape which did the trick. But honestly you could wear a lace bralette with this and be good to go. It's definitely meant for warm weather and vacations!

Let's talk these shoes... I tend to fall in love with sandals quickly. So, I never buy on the spot but instead stalk and stalk and just wait to see if I'm still obsessing. Yep, I was thaaat obsessed with these shoes that I knew I had to get them. They are my most worn shoes this summer! Super comfortable to walk in, no break in required, and they fit my narrow foot plus high arch.

I've been seeing the BV dumpling/croissant pouch bag everywhere and knew I needed to find a dupe. Thank you Amazon for coming in clutch (pun intended). I actually searched for a couple of hours reading reviews, comparing to the original, seeing number of stars, number of bags purchased, material quality, etc.... finally found a good one and it's a hit!

My sister is getting married this summer so I've had an excuse to be even more on the hunt for white dresses ;) I'm pretty sure she has 2 white dresses for each day on her bachelorette (including bikinis), and a rehearsal dinner dress + bridal shower dresses but I keep sending them to her! I just LOVE the silhouette of any white dress! I've linked a bunch that I've found (basically all under $100) below!


Love Always,

{wedding guest dress: yellow ruffles}

Does anything scream sunshine like a yellow dress? I felt happy and wanted to twirl around all of Key West in this!











Now that things are *getting back to normal* I feel like it's time to start talking about wedding guest dresses and heels and jewelry and eek!! This dress comes in sooooo many colors so there's one for every personality ;) It's the perfect length and flattering on any body type because the ruffles are super forgiving. I was relieved that the off the shoulder top didn't cut into my arms either - you could easily move the top ruffle to sit on your shoulders too. I'm in my true size small!

It's been a hot minute since I've had to wear heels but I couldn't resist these nude babies with clear straps. The clear shoe trend has been very popular recently - with the actual heel being acrylic or just the straps or toe being a strip of clear vinyl. I wasn't sure how I felt about it so this was a nice way to dip my toe into the trend (get it? get it??). When I pick a heel for weddings 9 out of 10 times I go for a block heel. It allows me to dance the night away and never feel like I need to take my shoes off - remember gross dance floors?!


Who is excited to go to a MASSIVE wedding and dance the night away?! Haha :) Would y'all like to see more wedding guest dress options? Let me know below!

Love Always,

{spring break style: pink maxi dress}

Spring is officially here! Feels good to know the temps are warming up everywhere and we can begin leaving that jacket "just in case it gets cold" when we know it's going to at home!













Location: Kimpton Key West, Ridley House

If you've been a long time Southern Anchors reader you know that 60% of my dresses are from Red Dress Boutique... okay maybe like 80% - whoops! They just crush it every time! I love this dress because of the movement and simple ruffle tiers. It's incredibly lightweight and moves beautifully in the breeze. It also comes in 6 colors which meant I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite color. I eventually decided on this rose pink because I surprisingly don't have a lot of pink in my closet. I wear a lot of blues, greens, and whites - just my go to color palette!

If you're following me on Instagram (@jennrog) then these pearl hair clips look familiar... I've been wearing them non-stop and was on the hunt to find a clip that elevated my look without just being a regular old claw clip. I've seen hairstyles with pearl details all over Pinterest so these were my goal! You're not going to believe the price... $8 for ALL FOUR! I just started seeing some boutiques selling them for $13 each -___- no thank you!!

Okay last thing we need to discuss... my sandals. I saw these and instantly new I needed them. However, I mulled over the decision to purchase for awhile. Then I started putting on outfits and thinking "man, those shoes would be perfect with this." The rest is history. They're my #1 grabbed shoe in my closet! (Should I purchase a back up pair when these wear out? Eekk!)


What colors do you wear the most? Are you ready for Spring?!

Love Always,

{25 days of Netflix Christmas movies | 2020}

I made a Netflix Christmas movie list last year and it was so much fun that I had to do one again! There have been LOTS of new movies this year... including sequels to some of our favorites! Thank you Netflix for truly giving us what we need this year :) lots of holiday cheer. I've also noticed that Vanessa Hudgens is working hard to be the new face of Christmas movies?! I'm here for it!






What Christmas movie is your favorite?! I'm waiting to watch Christmas Chronicles 2 with Kyle's family and am so excited!! Pretty cool that the majority of these are "Netflix originals"! However, Miracle on 34th Street will forever be my all-time favorite Christmas movie :)

Love Always,
