Transitional Favorites
Happy Friday! This week has been extra relaxed and I am looooving it. Normally I am running around like a mad woman during the week and counting down the minutes to the weekend…but this week just moved a lot slower and felt much less stressful. I even had a beer at 2pm yesterday while playing fetch with Watson on the new patio…just because! …And it was sooo nice. On that note – patio reveal coming next month, can’t wait to show y’all the transformation, it’s pretty drastic (in a really good way!). Lastly, tomorrow is my birthday (turning 28) and wowza I am excited to grab brunch with Blake (…we never do “brunch” in Austin but tomorrow he’s making an exception haha) and then we’re spending the rest of the day at the PGA Dell match happening in Austin. I will 100% be soaking up a day outside with my love and I can just feel it’s going to be the best one yet. Feeling lots of happy vibes this week and thankful for a solid 28 years of life!
Unrelated transition starting…now…! 😉 As the weather changes and we go from cooler, crisp mornings into heated afternoons – a cozy cardigan is the perfect transitional staple piece…and this one is a must (ohh that gorgeous blush color!).
cardigan – MADEWELL (wearing xs) / jeans – LEVI’S (I went up a size for a more relaxed fit) / shoes – similar MADEWELL / handbag – SEZANE / white tee – REVOLVE / necklace – MISSOMA
Hello, cutest spring trend alert! Ohh those darling round handbags I keep seeing (…and buying!). There’s just something so retro and vintage-y (…just gonna hyphen to make that a thing haha) that makes a round handbag feel extra special and timeless. Tons of fun textures, cool fabric pairings and sizes out right now…like 
Stop everything you’re doing. This jumpsuit demands FULL. ATTENTION. Okay okay so it’s not really thaaat pressing… 😉 but FOR REALZ how freaking adorable is this thing?! Urban Outfitters has been killing the romper/jumpsuit game lately and I have become that crazy online shopper that visits the 
Hello there, gals! How’s your week going? I’m in full-on SXSW mode over here…hence my lack of blog posts in the past week! Last week I had the absolute honor of teaching an hour long class about blogging and OMG I was completely blown away by the turnout and incredible feedback from all of YOU! Y’all are the reason I am fueled to keep doing this crazy blogging thing…and meeting my readers in person sure is the most gratifying feeling. A very big virtual bear hug and thank you to everyone who came out to the event or sent me an encouraging DM on Instagram – it has all meant more than you know!
For starters, let’s forgive the humidity hair action going on in this post haha. Austin doesn’t know if it’s hot, cold, extra dry or super humid and my hair is paying the price lately! Second…what’s your “I feel most myself when I’m wearing…” outfit of choice? As you can tell from my blog and IG feed, I am a total jeans girl through and through…and this particular pair of high rise denim is one that gets worn more than the rest! Y’all know my love for stripes runs deep, and I truly can’t tell you how many times I have worn this cozy top in the last few months (…no lie it’s likely an embarrassing amount of times, ha!). Lastly…oh those good ‘ol cognac accessories I can’t seem to shake. I am officially embracing my love for this color everything and will no longer hold myself back from buying aaaaall the (tan) things!
What do you do to relax at home? As Blake and I are getting the hang of being dog parents, we’ve both found that lounging in bed has been a solid way to calm Watson down (…he instantly relaxes, it’s kind of amazing!) and gives us a little break from puppy training, too. We grab our books, pour some fresh coffee and soak up time with our cuddly pup! It’s become our weekend ritual lately (…and sometimes part of my daily routine when I need a sanity break, ha! Working from home means it’s tough to turn my brain off…!), and one of my very favorite things we do as a little family.
Ohh we are SO close to spring! It’s finally sunny in Austin today and I feel like my soul is revived a bit…over a week of miserable, rainy, cold, dark weather did quite a doozy on my mind…I’ve never experienced how deeply weather can effect my mood until this time around…and you can ask Blake, I was not a happy human to be around, haha ah! Anyone else feel the woes of grim weather? I feel like a lot of my friends have been feeling the same way lately.
Be still my heart. This pair of cropped flare denim is e v e r y t h i n g . I watched Clueless over the weekend and since then, I’ve been a bit more valley girl-esque than usual. I guess what was “valley girl” in the 90s is now “basic” in the 2000s…either way, sometimes it’s fun to let your brain go to mush for a bit and use terminology that is mainstream girl code. In other words, when I say these jeans are “e v e r y t h i n g” = THESE PANTS ARE FREAKIN’ AMAZING!
Ohh this camel coat…I just can’t get enough! I wasn’t so sure it’d be put to proper use living in Austin, however, it has proven to become a go-to in my wardrobe (…thanks to a rare, cold Texas winter!). While I am SO over the cold and very ready for spring everything (mostly sunshine…ohh how I miss that Vitamin D fix!), I am secretly still loving getting to wear all these beautiful layers. Needless to say, it’s been fun to enjoy winter styling this season!
