One of my favorite things about being a blog follower is how the experience goes from just following along to eventually feeling like you are taking advice from a friend. As a result of my love for blogs, I have purchased clothes, tried hair styles, decorated mantles, read books, organized my office, discovered health tricks, and become inspired in countless ways! Reading about a solution that an everyday person, just like me, finds enriching to their lives has been really helpful – so here on HALF I thought I would get in on the info sharing action and include a weekly favorites post! Each week I will share one of my favorites things! The topic areas will range from favorite clothes to organizing solutions to health tricks. Really anything that I feel we just can’t live without – or would really not want to – at the Bessette home and maybe you can find something you love too!
Well I don’t know about you guys but over here we are deep into wedding season! Last weekend we had a wedding for good friends ….this weekend for family and in a few weeks another one! Wedding season is here and we are loving it. On the blog I have written about weddings before and of course our love of a wedding dance floor, but for this Friday Favorites I am talking about the gifts I like to give for weddings (and heck – for any other occasion): Monograms from one of my favorite spots: Marleylilly!

For bridal showers…. bachlorette parties… engagements…. wedding days…. I love to give the bride something with her new monogram on it. Not only is it personalized and thoughtful, but I beleive it honors the real reason for the day: the start of new shared life! Marleylilly has an AWESOME selection of monogrammed things: Cups, jackets, shirts, bags, shoes, keychaings, jewelry, running shorts, beach cover ups ….. and with a great price point, efficient delivery times, and lovely customer service you can’t really go wrong!

My Marleylilly experience started with a bag – it always starts with a bag. But it did not stop there! Now I also have a pair of running shorts, a variety of cups, a tank top, and shoes! I have loved all my purchases, and found their products to be great quality to withstand washes, wears, and overpacking! One of my most surprising purchases were the running shorts. In all honestly I bought them since they were the style I like (good lining, sweat proof material) and of course the monogram…. but they have turned out to be my favorite pair now! I also can’t tell you how many compliments I have received on my monograms flats and sandals. And when I do gift one of my finds from this site, folks always ask me where I bought it from! If you are looking for a great new shop to try – I can’t say enough good things about Marleylilly!
If you are attending as many weddings as we are and need a gift… or maybe you just need some fun new accessories for the summer….. then be sure to visit Marleylilly. Happy shopping!
Thank you so much for reading and remember to make it a great day!
