This look head to toe is Amanda Uprichard and I am obsessed. I absolutely LOVE all of her stuff. I started gravitating to her pieces while shopping at Estilo last year and have continued to look for her other places because I’m hooked. She makes classic but fresh silhouettes that are REALLY great quality. Her prices are on the higher end but I really think all of her clothes are wardrobe staples that I’ll be pulling out year after year. Like this romper and this dress! I love some…
Read MoreHave you heard?? Polka Dots are back in!!
I’m never big on prints but I can definitely hop on the polka dot train! Polka dots are a classic print that add a little pop of fun to your look. I LOVE this button up polka dot top with bowtie sleeves from Reformation. It’s still pretty chilly here in Austin so I’m layering this top with a chunky sweater and jeans but I can’t wait to pair it with white jeans and sandals when the weather warms up. This top would also be super cute layered under black overalls or tucked into a silk black skirt.I think polka dots are a classic trend that just make you feel…
Read MoreY’ALL. I’m so excited to post this outfit because I’m obsessed with this sweater top and have been wearing it on repeat lately. I bought this top last time I was in Charleston at a really cute boutique, Maris Dehart. They had tons of different color options but of course I had to go with the neutral tan with a touch of black. I had to seriously restrain myself from buying other colors because they’re so comfortable and easy to throw on. I like to dress this down with some skinny jeans and loafers but I also just wore this out to dinner in Marathon with some black block heels, black motto leggings and statement earrings. I’ll be in NYC next week and am thinking on pairing a
Read MoreI thought it was about time I posted this outfit because I’ve literally been wearing this exact look at least once a week lately! I’m obsessed with wrap coats because they’re so comfortable and easy to wear and you can throw them on top of almost anything. For me, I love a good turtleneck and scarf this winter. I’m also all about layers! I’ll often wear open toe shoes (if it’s at least 50 degrees) so that I can have a little room to breath. These velvet mules are my absolute FAVORITE! I have them in…
Read MoreValentine’s Day is around the corner and I LOVE (no pun intended) a good excuse to make a girly gift guide! Here are my top VDay picks that are perfect to send to your loved one to give a little hint OR treat yourself and purchase a little “to - me, from - me” present.
Read MoreIf you haven’t been able to tell, I’ve been really obsessed with leopard lately. I feel like leopard prints can be a closet staple and can be worn so many different ways. Leopard will always be in style and can really be worn throughout the year if styled for the season. It’s going to be 78 degrees in Austin this week so I love this look with a loose light black top and booties. There are so many great leopard pieces out right now that are super affordable. I’ve linked all my favorite items below that are under $100!
Read Morehave to be honest and say it has taken me a bit longer than normal to get into the swing of things this January. Normally I’m ready to spark change and get goin’ on goals that I’ve set for myself for the new year but the beginning of 2019 has been different. To be completely honest, I’ve kind of felt in a rut when it comes to creativity and change. Usually I’m really excited for a new year and new opportunity but this year is different for some reason. SO, I’ve decided to…
Read MoreSo, I had to do a post about this top because it is one of my favorite new steals! I’ve been obsessed with the crochet vibe for a while now. Last year for all my wedding festivities, I pretty much wore Self Portrait to everything. But, that price point isn’t always doable. When I saw this top, I instantly loved it because it had that same SP look but for a fraction of the cost (sign me up!). ALL to say, I absolutely love it. It feels and looks like a $300 top but it’s only…
Read MoreBeing that it is December you might think it’s a little odd for me to post a short set. But, living in Texas, or most places in the south, you know we can get up to 80 degrees in December. You never know! I typically refrain from purchasing clothes that I can’t for sure wear in season but with something like this linen suit set, I could wear it in December or April if the weather allows. I also cannot pass up a cute set that…
Read MoreSince we all know women are a tad bit better at buying Christmas gifts in advance, I thought it was only appropriate to kick off my gift guide posts with my favorite holiday presents for the special men in our lives. Truthfully, Barrett helped me a lot with this post! He is always on the hunt for good quality items that will last forever. He researches everything to death so I know when he pulls the trigger it must be worth it. All of these items are…
Read MoreI’ve never been much of a Target shopper (I’m obsessed with their home section though) BUT I was completely blown away when I walked past their ladies clothing department the other day. I got this leather (obviously fake) dress and a really cute simple black top. I was super surprised to find out the quality was WAY better than what I anticipated. I am all for affordable fast fashion but I get turned off when the quality is poor and I end up tossing whatever $30 item I bought after wearing it twice. You could have told me this dress was $195 and I would have bought it!! The fabric isn’t itchy or
Read MoreLet’s get right to it - There are so many sales and promotions going on right now that it can be REALLY overwhelming. I’ve broken out my go-to retailers, brands and items I’m looking for this sale season. I’ve also picked out some of my favorite items that are either sitting in my cart or already on the way to my house! This is not the time to sit it out - grab your lap top of phone and get to shopping before these steals and deals sell out!
Read MoreThe holidays are almost in full swing and I couldn’t be more excited. I am in full on bake mode and can’t wait to indulge in all the sides, drinks and desserts Thanksgiving has to offer. I’ll have a little bit of ham or turkey but let’s get real, the best part is all the sides, pies, and sweet treats! Although I’m cramming in as many spin classes as possible before this weekend and really the holidays in general, I’m anticipating feeling a little puffy after eating and drinking to my hearts content. So, I’m looking forward to being extra comfortable and giving myself some room to relax. This outfit is my ultimate…
Read MoreIn honor of probably my most favorite week of the year, Thanksgiving, and also Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday, I’m posting one of my favorite dresses I got last year on major sale. Every year I gear up and really prepare to score some major discounts on items I’ve wanted all season long and pieces I know will stay in style for years to come. This is the absolute best time to take advantage of temporary markdowns and go to town (or online) shopping! I usually aim to find items that I am more hesitant to buy full price and that I can wear for multiple seasons. I want classic pieces that I can
Read MoreIf you know me you know I can never have enough white tops. Seriously. They are my go-to purchase whenever I’m torn between a few items. Why? Because living in Texas they are literally in style all year round. This top is one of my favorites. It’s timeless but also girly. I love pairing it with distressed jeans but it would also be super cute with a black leather skirt or leather pants with a leather jacket. I love pairing girly pieces with edgey items to rough up the look a little bit. But of course, I love a good cowhide bag with any white and denim outfit. I think this has become my staple look!
Read MoreLet me introduce you to your new favorite fall/winter outfit! I have been wearing this look on repeat lately because it is SO comfortable and SO easy to wear. It’s one of those outfits you find yourself wearing at your house long after you’ve gotten home because you feel like you’re wearing PJs. I got this skirt last year on sale but it’s still available! If you haven’t noticed by now, I love investing in classic pieces I can get a lot of wear out of and that are always in season. This skirt is a must have!
Read MoreSweater season is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier. Getting dressed in the fall is always so easy, and best of all, COMFORTABLE. I love throwing on some high waisted leggings or stretchy jeans, chunky sweater, and a pair of boots or flats. You can catch me in this outfit any day of the week that I need to get dressed fast and run out the door. I’ve found that Free People makes some of the most comfortable sweaters at an affordable price point. Of course there are a lot of $40 - $60 (or even lower than that) sweaters out there but nothing is worse than
Read MoreThis week has flown by! It’s been cold and rainy all week (which I’ve loved) but I’m definitely craving some sunshine now. I shot this look a couple weeks ago and have worn this outfit multiple times since. I’m obsessed with this top and the button detailing! It should be no surprise by now that I love white tops. I have a serious collection in my closet! But, they are all different and I really don’t feel like I’ll ever have enough. They are SO easy and versatile. And in Austin, they are absolutely in season all year long. A good white top and blue jeans are a blank canvas for whatever accessories you feel like
Read MoreFall finally feels like it’s in full swing now after we got our first cold front in Austin this week! I’m pulling out all my favorite sweaters, booties and fall recipes for the season. I shot this dress a few weeks ago when we were still having 80-90 degree weather but it is still one of my absolute favorite new fall dresses! I love it paired with white slip ons but also think a really great white or brown bootie and jean jacket would be cute. The best part about this dress is it’s under…
Read MoreIt’s bootie season and I couldn’t be more excited! When hunting for booties, I usually look for 3 different colors each season - white, black and brown. Depending on my current bootie assortment, I will either save, invest or splurge. The older I’ve gotten, I’ve come to really love investing in my shoes. You can always tell the difference in higher quality shoes that last season after season. However, sometimes I want a quick purchase under $100. And sometimes I…
