Loft 40% Off Friends & Family Sale!
Let’s start the week on a high note because….LOFT is having a 40% off site-wide ‘Friends & Family’ SALE! And y’all, their new spring pieces are SO. CUTE. Not to mention, when everything is nearly half off, that is reason enough to add some seasonal updates to your wardrobe! I am always so thrilled to partner with LOFT because I adore their clothing and brand aesthetic, but today is extra special because I grabbed one of my very best friends, Veronica, (who is also a petite section shopper – she’s 4’11, so all my petite readers, take note of her look! 😉 ) and we had ourselves a galpal date over the weekend to share a few of our favorite pieces from the sale. The best part? Both of our outfits come in regular and petite sizes. Yep…the good news just keeps getting better.

A big thank you to LOFT for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start! I’m excited to share a few of my favorite spring pieces in today’s post – and in particular, those GORG shoes! Ohh how I swooned when I first put them on…lace-up, a higher heel (hello, longer legs!), peep-toe…these are magical shoes that make you feel extra confident and fabulous. Not to mention, they’re casual yet statement-worthy enough to rock to the cutest, low-key brunch/coffee spot in town – Hillside Farmacy. (…I mean really, how cute is their patio?!).
Simple, classic and chic – I think this might be one of my all-time favorite outfits. Stripes, pointed toe flats, the prettiest bucket bag…it’s the recipe for a timeless look you can wear again and again. Swap the denim skirt for high waist skinny jeans and add a belt, or get workwear ready with an adorable pair of black or camel dress pants. I am a big fan of getting more bang for your buck (always!), so investing in items you’ll get wear out of for years to come is a big “do” in my book.
Happy Monday, gals! How was your weekend? Blake and I ordered takeout and watched Heavyweights (remember that awesome Ben Stiller film from the 90s?) – Blake hadn’t ever seen it! I was like, “where was your childhood?!” 😉 It was a classic in the Watson household growing up. Aside from that, we kept busy doing some spring cleaning and spending time with family…it was a nice, relaxing few days!
Y’all know me, I can’t so no to stripes! Truly…it’s my very favorite print – so happy, yet classic and timeless. With spring in full bloom here in Austin, the warmer weather has me reaching for breezy dresses and light layers. This darling dress will be a closet staple year round (pair with espadrille sandals and a cute straw hat for summer) and I am especially loving it with OTK boots (…psst..if you don’t yet have a tan, OTK boots make for an excellent pairing with dresses, ha!) …and of course layered with my favorite utility jacket.
Hello gals, how’s your weekend going? Life has been kind of crazy in my world recently, I can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to…I’ll be spilling all the details in mid-April, so stay tuned!! That said, my schedule has been pretty insane with some added stress thrust our way over the past week and a half (fear not! It’s great news, just a LOT to do in the next month in preparation!) – thus, I want to apologize for my delay in getting those Weekly Chats up and sharing more spring content! Just when I felt like I was finally getting into a rhythm/routine with my blog schedule, the universe had another plan in store! Felt I should let y’all know in case you’ve noticed a lag in my post time.
Ohh spring, how I love you so. This week has been pretty incredible when it comes to Austin weather, and I’ve forced myself to get outside everyday and take full advantage! I am going on day 4 of my “Olivia, step away from your computer and do something outdoors” daily mission, and truth be told, it’s been heavenly. There’s just nothing quite like Vitamin D, comfy sneakers and a phone call with my sister/mom/friend to get all the happy feels going in my mind and body. Going to do my best to keep up this positive form of daily activity…I can already tell it’s making a big difference!
Happy Monday, friends! Phewwww WHAT a week last week was, ha! Let’s just say I probably napped for like 30 hours straight this weekend. Needless to say, I had a total blast at the festival moseying from event to event with my bestie, Elissa (my extremely hilarious, adorable blondie babe in all my Insta Stories last week – we’ve been bff’s since high school!), and it all started with the CLIF Bar Bash hosted at Blackheart on Rainey Street…and it couldn’t have been a better start to the week!
Happy almost-Friday, gals! Hope your week is going great and you’ve got something fun (…or relaxing) lined up for the weekend. I’m still in full blown SXSW mode over here, so come Sunday, it’s all over and I can assure you that I will not get out of my pajamas for at least one full day, ha! Until then, time to order another drink and rally…y’all…I am going on day 6 of this festival and somehow have had the energy to get out into the madness everyday. One of my best friends is my plus one to all the events this week (Elissa, you’ve seen her act hilarious on my Insta story, I’m sure!), so she definitely encourages the little party person in me to come out…and it has been SO fun! Feeling kind of proud that I have kept up this momentum, I am normally SUCH a granny!
Hey gals! How’s your week going? Mine has been non-stop but so good! Feeling thankful that SXSW is in my hometown, which has allowed me to drive right on downtown each day to soak in all the festival goodness, meet for coffee dates and the best part – get to know some wonderful LL readers!! I have so much to share about the Create & Cultivate panel (…more on that for this weeks Weekly Chat post), but in a nutshell, it went great and I have been on Cloud 9 ever since – such a rush of energy and adrenaline to be surrounded by strong, empowering women! Still pinching myself that I got to be a part of it all. Special thank you to everyone who came out, said hello and braved the cold to hang out for a day of panels/sessions!
