I’ve always wanted to do a “rewind” type post where I look back on some of the things I did and the posts I’ve written over the course of the month. I decided that this month I’d share with you some Instagram photos as well as give you a quick list of the posts that were published on the blog in July (just in case you missed some!) and whose blogs I’ve been reading at least once a day.
This month has felt both extremely fast and extremely slow. July was my last full month living in Pittsburgh with Ryan. I’m extremely sad about that because we’ve had so much fun adventuring together and crossing off bucket list items. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I have to go back to school and can’t see him every day!
I wrote a lot of blog posts this month that I’m really proud of but I think my favorite one has to have been my post about Preparing for the Fall Semester. Its been getting a ton of Pinterest traffic (so exciting!) and I would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
These are the blogs I’ve been obsessing over this month… check them out below!
The Fashionista’s Diary, Coming Up Roses, Helene in Between
Speaking of favorite blogs, this month I tried (and kind of failed) to do Helene‘s #31PhotosInBetween Instagram challenge. I was pretty proud of some of the pics I took this month so I wanted to show them off here on the blog! Some of the photos warranted a blog post plug so look out for those as you scroll!
Take a look at my favorite Instagram photos from this month!
Check out my post about our Lake Erie weekend!

Check out Ryan’s guest post! He talked about his favorite thing (food).
Crossed off another item on my Pittsburgh bucket list that night!
We stopped by Dave & Andy’s and crossed off some more bucket list items!
Stay tuned for some more fashion-related posts on the blog within the next month or so!
And just in case you wanted to stick around for a while and catch up, here are my posts from this month!
8 Photos of Happiness, June Book Wrap-Up, July 4th Weekend at Lake Erie, Day Designer Blue Sky Edition, Preparing for the Fall Semester, Yearly Blogging Questions to Ask Yourself (it’s a link up!), 5 Songs I Have on Repeat, Blogger Buddies Pen Pal Community, The Only College Packing List You’ll Need, The Guys Behind the Blog (July Edition), July Book Haul + Reviews, Restaurant Review: Mad Mex
That ice cream looks so delicious! Looks like you had a good month in July! Plus blogger buddies has started so that’s always exciting! Also a great favorite post, congrats on all the pinterest sharing!
I’m a new blogger, but I think my favorite post would have to be this one: http://www.mypopofcolor.com/adventures-as-a-saha-global-field-representative/ I loved my time in Ghana and it was fun to share my story with everyone else!

What an amazing experience! I would love to volunteer in Africa. I hope I can go there to teach English at some point in my life.
Looks like you had so much fun! Congrats on the pinterest sharing! I love the little moments in between, looks like you made the most of your month!

Thanks Ashley!
You’ve had a busy month but it certainly looks like it’s been fun! My favorite part of this month would have to be my vacation, that hasn’t technically happened yet, but we’re taking off tomorrow so it’s still a July activity! Not to mention finally getting my blogger buddy!
Yay! Can’t wait to read about your vacation!
That ice cream looks amazing!!! Seriously considering going to get some right now. I love your post and am planning my own July Rewind now!
Emma
I’ll be on the look out for your July rewind post 🙂
I LOVE Helene in Between. Her blog was one of the first I found and she’s so fun and inspiring. I also LOVE Coming Up Roses and the girl behind it. Erica is the sweetest and we’ve chatted a couple times about blogging. And all of Lauren’s posts on The Fashionista’s Diary make me super jealous hahaha. Her clothes are to die for!

Such great picks for bloggers this month!

YES! I was so excited to finally have a post be pinned by someone other than me haha.
I absolute love all those notebooks and planners you have!! I think I need those notebooks in my life. I think my favorite part of this month was getting to hang out with my sister who visited me for two weeks!

The Fashionista’s Diary
Hahaha basically I need you as my personal stylist. I’ve been attempting to branch out of my comfort zone when it comes to clothes and you’ve been inspiring me! So, thank you!
I didn’t know you were going to move to Pittsburgh! I’ve been having a lot of fun here this summer and, being from Philadelphia, I’m liking it much more than I thought I would!
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a planner “family”!
Hahaha I’m sort of ashamed but mostly proud of it!
Loved seeing all that you’ve been up to this month! You’ve had a busy month!! Congrats on all of that repin traffic! Isn’t it exciting when something like that happens?!

Hey Kayla! Found your blog through the that post you mentioned via the wonderful portal of Pinterest, and I’ve enjoyed following your blog ever since! (Also, that planner family?? MAGICAL.)
My favorite post of mine this month was a How to Make a Summer Bucket List post, complete with infographic. I know most people only have a couple weeks of summer left, but it’s never too late to make a checklist. https://postitperfectionist.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/tips-for-making-a-summer-bucket-list-2/

All of your Instagram pics are so cute! Your new Maybooks are just darling, and I hope you had a blast at Lake Erie!
Looks like such a fun month! Cute photo of you and your boyfriend (and can I please have some of that ice cream?!)!
