Diet Coke Diet

If you know me, you know I am obsessed with Diet Coke. I am usually spotted with one in hand or multiple on my desk. I was even a Diet Coke for Halloween one year... (My Pinterest/TSM claim to fame) So I was beyond excited when Diet Coke commented on my #ShareACoke picture saying they wanted to send me something!

A few weeks later Jonathan texted me saying I got a shiny silver envelope in the mail. It came filled with stickers that allowed you to make any Diet Coke yours! So I had a little fun with it and made a Tay & Co one.

I know Coca-Cola did the #ShareACoke last year and it is a truly brilliant idea! I mean people will stand looking through piles of pop just to find their name. They are spending so much more time than they ever would on choosing a drink. Even when my sister and I went to the Taylor Swift concert in June they had a Diet Coke stand where you could take a picture with TSwift in the background. Genius. Obviously had to snap a photo with my three favorites: DC, TSwift and my little sis!

Hope everyone has a great weekend filled with lots of DC! 

Want it Wednesday

I wanted to mix it up today, so for a midweek pick me up I decided to post a collection of things I am currently wanting! Seems to always be something right?

Obviously the #NSale is happening right now and I am totally OBSESSED with these Tory Burch riding boots. They would be beyond perfect for fall!

Another Nordstrom pick for me is anything Wildfox. They have so many soft jumpers that you can hangout in all day #weekendwear. And yes Jonathan I love you more than WINE. 

Evelyn Henson has so many adorable items on her shop. I love her cheeky prints and I obviously need this Too Tired to Work mug!

The Bauble Bar Cape Town Bracelets have been all over Instagram & now you can make your own set! They allow you to pick 5 for $62. 

What are you currently lusting over? 

Wedding Hashtags

Who would have predicted that wedding hashtags were now a "thing"? I definitely want to introduce the hashtag before the wedding with any type of pre-wedding photos or events! It's a perfect way to view a collection of photos from the big day!

In spirit of this fun task my little sister started coming up with some possibilities:

#coaugwedding2016
#coaugsayido 
#tayandjtietheknot2016
#JandTaytietheknot
#JTsayido2016
#divagetshitched
#divataytiestheknot
#happilyevercohen
#divataytiestheknotwithj 

Pinterest has some wedding hashtag generators that get the juices flowing as well! Here are some I got from the Wedding Wire generator:

#HappyToBeACohen
#JandTGetHitched
#EatDrinkandBeCohen

It might even be fun to have a different hashtag for the Bachelor/Bachelorette parties!

Which ones are your favorite? 

Wedding Calligraphy

When it comes to wedding planning there are so many details to think about! On Instagram I came across Maghon from All She Wrote Notes. She is a calligrapher who runs her own small business and teaches classes on how to do calligraphy. I wish I lived closer to the Carolinas because I would love to take her class.

I love the look calligraphy has on envelopes. I want to start practicing to see if I could do it for our own invitations! It's a long shot but it would something fun to try right? I think every detail is important and it gives an extra touch of personalization.

If you are getting married or know anyone that is definitely check out her website and Etsy page!

Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday! 

Creating She

Surprise!

Hi y’all! I’m Caroline from Creating She and I’m taking over Tay & Co for the day! We’ve teamed up to bring you a summer collab so get excited because we’ve got a ton of awesome things in store!

I guess the best place to begin would be an introduction so that you get to know us a little better! I am a blogging, iced coffee drinking, Jack Rogers wearing Pre-Law Junior. Try saying that ten times fast. I spend my days interning in a court house, my nights sharing my life with you, and my weekends exploring my sleepy college town. I dream of surviving law school, getting an Irish Setter, and moving to the city. I’ve got big dreams with lots of room to improvise! I’ve learned that life can take you by surprise and typically it’s a lot better than you could have ever dreamed.

I’ve had my blog for 2 years but it wasn’t until recently that I committed myself to pursuing this passion for blogging. For years I have had loved sharing my outfits, my wisdom, and my life with all of my followers! College is such a fun journey and it’s my dream to take this adventure with you.
Life can be hard trying to balance college, a career, and all of these big dreams. We’re just a bunch of She’s trying to work hard and get things done. Why not do it together?

I would love for you to join the Creating She fam and keep in the loop of everything we’ve got going on! We are so excited for this collaboration and I know that you’re going to love what we’ve got planned. Taylor is such an amazing girl and if you haven’t already, you must explore and look at her beautiful life. #Goals

Keep updated daily by following us on Instagram: @Tay.andCo & Creatingshe. If you have any collab posts you want to see this summer, make sure to let us know! I know I am simply beside myself I’m so excited and I hope you are too.

See ya soon!

Seersucker & Lace

I love pairing classic preppy pieces together like seersucker & lace. Especially when it's white & navy! My lace top is Lilly for Target and the seersucker wedges are Sperry's. The detailing on the top is beautiful & makes it easy to be dressed up or down. It is perfect for work or a casual weekend look. The crisp white color allows for so many accessory possibilities. I can't wait to try it with a colorful tassel necklace or Kendra earrings.

The wedges are fun because they tie around your ankle into a bow & who doesn't love a good bow? They are also a good height!  I got them a few years ago for one of our sorority recruitment rounds. We always did a nautical themed day. Obviously had to finish the look with a diet coke!

What are you favorite preppy pieces?
