There’s something special about transitioning out of sundresses and shorts to more structured pieces like this black and white high neck maxi dress or this beautiful square neck black satin bow detailed dress. Both of these beauties are from CupShe and I’m loving what they are offering right now.
Read MoreWhat a week already! Loved getting to shop lots of Amazon Favorites this week for Prime Day Big Deals and looking forward to beginning my holiday season shopping. Have you already started rounding things up for Christmas? I’ll be curating a Holiday Shop this season so stay tuned for updates and make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter! You’ll be the first to know all the best deals and finds. Today I’m sharing a new brand I’ve been working with called Zesica! I have several pieces like this coral henley top, this adorable comfy oversized two-toned sweatshirt, and this striped sweater that is my favorite stripe sweater so far this season.
Read MoreI cannot believe it’s been a full year since I partnered with Sarah Flint! I am so honored to be a part of the Ambassador team! Not only has Sarah Flint created a brand that has incredible quality, craftsmanship, and direct-to-you prices - the brand is female-owned and empowers women every day to feel luxurious. I have several pairs of Sarah Flint heels, pumps, sandals, and shoes because they are so incredibly comfortable. The Sacchetto Flats are my all-time favorite flat for comfort and style
Read MoreSummer is in full swing around here with sunset walks, day trips to swimming holes, and a relaxed approach to bedtime. Being a Leo, summer is my jam. I love the long days and the warm air hitting my face in the evenings as the sun drops below the horizon. I love all the sandals, bare feet, sundresses, and straw bags that come along with them. When I saw this dress on the hanger at the store, I knew I found a classic affordable piece I could wear all summer long. Whether it be a vacation, backyard BBQ, or just lounging around the house - this baby fits all the occasions. Coming in at just under $30, I bet your last bag of groceries cost more. Here are a few tips on how to style it!
Read MoreAfter years of wearing heels at all hours of the day and night for work, fun and special occasions I am here to tell you I think I found the mecca for shoes. Ah-em… welcome to Sarah Flint! A few years ago I came across Sarah’s pumps when I was following another blogger. The brand claimed they have the most comfortable heels period. When Sarah reached out for me to meet her PR team, I was elated. I had been toying with the idea to buy a pair. Let’s just put it this way… I’m now on my fourth pair. The shoes absolutely lived up to what they said they would be. Whether you are looking to wear as a guest to a wedding or maybe you have an important interview coming up these are the pumps that will let you walk like a woman!
Read MoreAfter a really long week and working from home, I threw on an outfit to head out on Friday early evening. We’ve been under a Winter Storm watch all week so I knew I’d have to get home pretty early but a few hours out was better than being cooped up all weekend. I decided to throw on one of my cozy sweaters. This baby is a steal! I’ve worn it recently with this silky skirt in this post for a dressier look. I paired it with my favorite vintage low-cut western boots from Feather’s Boutique in Austin, TX. I’ve been going there for over 15 years and always come out with something in hand. They have an online shop with a curated selection but if you are in the area I recommend stopping by! It’s incredible. You can grab a bite to eat afterward at Guero’s - another favorite of mine! A few months ago I ordered this top-rated pink suede hat on Amazon. It came packaged with a hat mold for storage and is really good quality. These Levi jeans were another buy on Amazon. They are the perfect fit for someone who is looking for a straight leg cut with a defined waist. Hope you guys are having an awesome Sunday!
Read MoreAlthough I am a lover of new trends and like to change my look up from time to time, I’ve built my wardrobe with classic pieces over time. I love a beautiful dress that can span from decade to decade or a coat that looks as fresh as it did ten years ago. I’ve started collecting jewelry pieces that I can pass down as heirlooms and if you were to look in my china cabinet you’d find an assortment of delicate tea cups that are reminiscent of another era. I’ve put together a list of items for anyone in your life that will last the course of time. Some of my favorite items include argyle printed socks, a silk scarf and classic Ray-Ban sunglasses. You really can’t go wrong with cable knit sweaters or a beautiful leather wallet. I also love these huggies for an affordable and quality piece of jewelry. I wear them almost daily and love them! See below for 30 timeless items for you to shop!
Read MoreI cannot tell you just how excited I am that it’s finally sweater season here in Texas. For those of you who live in more pleasing Fall climates, we do not experience a drop in temperatures until late October/early November. About halfway through Fall I am finally able to pull out my favorite items like knee-high boots, cozy jackets, and of course, sweaters. I recently did a complete overhaul of my wardrobe. I weeded out all of the items that really didn’t suit me and decided to bring in some amazing new favorites. This grey and white sweater isat the top of my list! I love it! I also love that it’s on SALE FOR $15 and comes in a variety of colors. The relaxed fit hits at the perfect level on the waist and it has a beautiful neckline that doesn’t look frumpy or overwhelming on my petite frame. I give it a 10/10 and it would make the PERFECT Christmas gift! Shop a bunch of my favorite sweater picks below!
Read MoreMeet my favorite pair of jeans. I grabbed these babies two years ago and this still proves to be the jeans I reach for the most for almost any occasion. They have the perfect high-waist. They are just fitted enough so they don’t look frumpy. They have a relaxed boyfriend fit and are the perfect length for my small frame. They come in both petite and regular. I decided after loving them so much I’d grab them in a lighter wash and white (which are both on MAJOR sale). I also recently picked up these from Madewell to wear with heels for a more dressy occasion. After testing negative for Covid this week, I decided it was time to celebrate with the kiddo at dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants Paolo’s! I paired them with a soft cardigan from Amazon and eyelash embellished tank I picked up recently from Nordstrom Rack. Leopard printed heels added the perfect touch for a casual glam look!
Read MoreToday marks day four of my latest solo trip. As I was heading across the South this week I stumbled across a retired couple at the Anchuca Bed and Breakfast in Vicksburg, Mississippi who commented how they thought it was incredible that I travel alone. I’ve actually been doing this most of my adulthood.I am now a single mom who needs downtime. I love having my daughter and would give her anything but I also have an immense amount of pressure to be and do all. I work a pretty high-stress job and could feel myself in need of time away a few weeks ago. I am writing this to tell you there is a way for you to be a good parent, spouse, family member and have time to yourself. Maybe it’s a far-fetched idea right now. Maybe you think you have no one to watch your kid. Maybe you’ve never left your hometown alone. Maybe you can’t imagine leaving your spouse alone for the weekend. Well, sister or brother - YES YOU CAN. When there is a will, there is always a way. Everything is figureoutable and I’m here to tell you if you need a vacation - you have permission to take one.
Read MoreI’m pretty sure all of us felt a little jolted this week. Not to mention, all of 2020 was an impact. I noticed although I personally experienced highs and lows throughout the past year, the last few months of 2020 I felt my energy lowered. The days were getting darker earlier. I was struggling with quality sleep. My activity goals dropped on fitness. All in all I was in a little bit of a funk. As I moved through about two months of that I started noting things that were bringing my energy down. As I noted things that made me stressed versus things that made me feel energized I started moving away from the the negative. I realized after going through this dip it was more important than ever to bring my own sunshine. Whether it’s something simple or lavish - do what makes you feel alive and good. Move one step closer to being a happier and mentally healthier person. Here are five ways to brighten your own day.
