This spring I’m really drawn to soft pinks, nudes and pops of yellow. Pearls and bows are on repeat, statement sleeves are encouraged and any chance I have to throw on some strappy sandals, I’ll take it! Now more than EVER I am ready to get dressed and wear something pretty. We all deserve to get out of our sweats (I’m TOTALLY over athleisure wear at this point) and put on something that makes us feel happy. Here are some of my favorite items this season!
Read MoreValentine’s Day is around the corner and what a great time to treat yourself or a loved one! Whether you’re baking something sweet and setting a pretty table, or feeling festive and dressing up, you have an excuse to sprinkle or splurge on VDay! Here are 15 items that will speak to any gal’s heart!
1. I am absolutely OBSESSED with these pink gingham pajamas! These are splurge worthy and worth every dime. What’s great about these pajamas is the feathers detach so you really get two looks in one! You can get functional and cute at the same time! …
Read MoreLet’s face it, we all tend to get in a funk from time to time. For me personally, I typically drift into a funk around January. It’s the beginning of a new year and there’s an expectation to start fresh or make changes, yet I feel least inspired or motivated for some reason. So, when I start to feel those funky feelings, I try and pull myself out of it by doing a few things that make me happy and lighter. Here are my 9 steps to getting out of a funk!
Read MoreI think mom’s deserve their own Christmas list because it’s an around the clock job that requires some serious gear to get the job done! I’ve rounded up 18 items that are sure to make any mom smile.
1.) This beautiful coffee table book is a really wonderful gift for around $50.
2.) Every mom deserves some diamonds and these baguette studs are classic. She can wear these everyday without fear of her little one tugging them out of her ear.
Read MoreGifts for guys can be tricky! In my opinion, most guys don’t tend to splurge on themselves when it comes to their wardrobe so I always like to incorporate a few items of clothes and shoes as well as some functional items they can use everyday. Most of the men (okay all) that I buy for generally like the same thing and have the same interests. As you can see, most of the gifts here are tailored to the outdoorsman who likes to hunt, fish and get their hands dirty!
Read MoreThe holidays are upon us and it’s never too early to knock out some of your Christmas shopping! I’ve rounded up a wide range of 27 gifts that are perfect for the special ladies in your life. Whether you’re shopping for your wife, girlfriend, sister, mom, daughter or friend, there is something here she will love! Gifts can be tricky so I’ve included items that range in trend and taste. Happy holiday shopping!
Read MoreYou know when you can spot a dress and instantly know who makes it? In my opinion, that’s what sets apart a great designer from a good one. Agua by Agua Bendita is a Columbian label who uses local artisans to create dresses and swimwear that are known for their embroidered and playful prints. I’ve been in love with this brand for quite some time but their dresses are more of an investment and not quite an impulse purchase. Although the prices can be steep, the quality and design warrant the price point. The fit and fabric is extremely flattering and comfortable. When it comes to splurging on items in your wardrobe, I love to choose pieces that just make me happy everytime I see them hanging in my closet and these dresses do just that. Here are a some of my favorite styles.
Read MoreWhether your spending most of your time at home or venturing out, a layered metal look is always cute! I’ve been loving dainty chain necklaces layered with small hoops and rings. I also love the look of a slightly chunkier chain necklace paired with hoops or simple studs. If you’re hesitant to invest in a lot of fall clothes this year because your calendar is looking rather sparse, look for a few (or more) simple metal pieces to add some freshness that will update anything you have hanging in your closet!
Read MoreSleepwear has never been more important than it is now. As we’re finding ourselves spending a LOT of time at home, it’s nice to have comfortable pieces to lounge around and sleep in. Since being pregnant, having a newborn and isolating due to COVID, I’ve spent a good amount of time in pajamas. I think it’s important to invest in pajama sets that feel really nice and look really pretty. I’ve always “dressed up” for bed by wearing pajamas sets and I truly think it makes difference in how I sleep and how I feel when I wake up in the morning.
Read MoreHappy April!!
The happiest month of the year in my opinion! Although this year is a little different (let’s be honest, TOTALLY different) it’s still important to create some normalcy and find the little things that spark joy for us. Easter has always been an important holiday that I have lots of happy memories of. As a family, we always celebrated Easter by going to church in a new dress, having a big brunch and going on an Easter egg hunt in the afternoon. I’ll never forget waking up to our Easter baskets with all our spring goodies before we got ready for church! From all of the colors to all of the flowers, carrot cake and chocolate covered bunnies, what’s not to fall in love with?!
Apart from all the fun, frills and fluff the holiday brings, Easter holds a special place in my heart because of why it was created and what it signifies. As a believer…
Read MoreI’m slightly embarrassed to say this is my first post of 2020…. BUT, it’s a good one and a great way to kick off the transition from winter to my favorite season of the year, SPRING! The Pantone color of 2020 is classic blue which is flattering and wearable for everyone! I especially love shades of blue for spring and summer paired with whites and creams. It’s a fresh way to wake up your wardrobe and add some dimension! Adding in some blue to your accessories with handbags, jewelry and shoes is a great way to incorporate some newness to your neutrals. This spring, my goal is to reach for these pretty pops of color instead of the same old neutral tones!

Read MoreBuying Christmas gifts can be tricky the older you get… There becomes fewer items that you wouldn’t otherwise just buy for yourself. When thinking of my own personal wish list this year, I looked for quality items that I would have for years and smaller pieces that I might not splurge on myself but would love to receive. I also look for items and small businesses that are local to the area or out of places I love to visit. Supporting small businesses has always been important to me so you’ll see a handful brands here that I love to shop with! Here are 23 gifts ranging in price point and style that are sure to make any southern girl smile!
Stetson Felt Cowboy Hat ($179)
Stetsons aren’t for everyone, but if you have a lady in your life who loves the outdoors, frequents country concerts and weekend trips to the ranch, this is the gift for her. A stetson is a…
Read MoreIt’s finally beginning to feel more like fall with the slight drop in temperature and pumpkins on every doorstep! I couldn’t love this time of year any more. Now that fall is finally in full swing, it’s safe to put away your summer clothes and pull out your sweaters, boots and scarves. This year, I’ve decided to round up all my fall essentials that I find myself constantly wearing on rotation during the cooler months. To be honest, I dress for comfort 99.9% of the time and generally rotate the same 20 items around week after week. I look for classic quality pieces that are comfortable, durable and easy to pair with multiple different looks. These items that I’ve rounded up are the bread and butter of my fall and winter wardrobe. I’ve hunted high and low for all the top options for each item/category so that you can shop the best of the best this season! When looking for these pieces, I took in consideration brand, price point and ratings so we only have the best options!
Read MoreHowdy Y’all!
Fall is in full swing but those 90 degree days are still making an appearance. Fall in the south is so finicky and the warmer weather can really put a damper on my autumn style. So, I’ve been sporting looks that can easily be paired with jackets in the cooler evening and mornings and that are cool enough for the afternoon heat.
Honestly living in Austin, I wear these type of sandals 70% of the year. They go with EVERYTHING and they’re cool enough when it’s too hot for booties. I’ve been LOVING these wide leg cut off jeans for this time of year. They’re super high waisted (which I love) and look perfect paired with heels. I’m excited to wear these with a tucked in sweater or turtleneck in the cooler months. Lastly, I can’t get enough tops like this. You should know by now I’m a total sucker for a…
Read MoreFall foliage, pumpkins, sweaters, soups and sweet treats are just a few of my favorite things about Autumn! And although it may not be quite time to break out the leggings and jackets, there are some really great pieces to bridge you from summer to fall, like this dress!
I’ve been completely obsessed with the Rhode Resort Ella Dress and have been waiting to pull the trigger until I found the right color that suits me best. Each season, they bring back this style dress in new colors and prints and every season I find myself loving all of them! This olive color is so…
Read MoreFall is FINALLY upon us and what better way to kick it off than refreshing your seasonal accessories?! Accessories are always the first thing I purchase when there is a season change, especially for fall. Here in Texas, it takes a bit of time before we feel any type of temperature drop, so chunky sweaters, leggings and scarves will have to wait. Accessories are the perfect way to transition your summer wardrobe into fall without having to pack on all the extra layers.
Read MoreAugust is wrapping up and but the warm weather and sunshine are sure to linger for quite a bit longer. We’re also about to roll into Labor Day and that means access to the best steals and deals on summer items! When you live in the south, you know we won’t feel that brisk air for at least another month and a half. So, I always love to stock up on Labor Day sale pieces before investing in my fall wardrobe. Some of my favorite summer clothes from this year came from last year’s Labor Day and end of season sales.
This weekend, I will have all my favorite sale items rounded up! But for now, here are a few of my favorite shirt dresses that are timeless and flattering on every figure. All of these dresses are currently on sale and must haves for seasons to come!
Read MoreMy absolute favorite trend of all right now is detailed sleeves. This is a trend I can jump on board with because it’s not too “trendy” and it’s universally flattering. A big puffy sleeve with embroidery is something everyone with every body type can pull off. Plus, it’s just a fun look!
I particularly love thes puffy sleeves on this dress because the waist is senched and the rest of the dress is loosely form fitting which shows off body shape. I typically won’t go for a top or dress with puffy sleeves and no body shape because you can look a lot larger than you actually are and who wants that??! This dress has the perfect balance of shape and fun flare with the sleeves. I’m also in lovvve with this tangerine color. So pretty and fun!
Read MoreHave you ever seen a top that’s as happy as this one?! You know what they say, you are what you wear, and this colorful crochet is sure to make you smile. I’ve been obsessed with Alice and Olivia for quite some time but I usually wait for items to go on markdown before making a purchase. I’ve been eyeing this top for a while on Nordstrom and freaked out when I saw it was on sale on Shopbop! It’s SO comfortable and fun to wear! I think it’s a no brainer to pair with white jeans and heels for a night out or high waisted denim shorts and sandals for a casual day look. This is also a top that will never go out of style. I see this piece being a staple in my closet when I’m wanting to wear something fun and comfortable for many spring and summers to come!
