Hello there, gals! I am currently writing this from up in the air en route to NYC! I just finished editing about three different rounds of blog photos (so much cute stuff headed to LL!) and on my third cup of coffee at the moment. I woke up at 3:30am to pack (did I mention I’m the most disorganized human ever? Had zero time to get to that last night..eek!) and had coffee at home, then another at the airport and again on the plane – thus, this girl is not ready to sleep any time soon, haha. Also – I feel like the lady next to me probably thinks I’m a crazy as I edit photos of myself…always feel super weird about that part in public when people have no idea this is normal for me, ha!

Hi ladies! Eek, I am SO excited to finally share with you all a fun (and playful and very colorful 😉 ) collab I’ve been hard at work on these past couple of weeks with the wonderful team over at Kate Spade New York! Their adorable new Broome Street collection just launched and I couldn’t more thrilled to give you all a peek at how I am styling a few of my favorite pieces.

As you know if you’ve followed me for a while, I am constantly drawn to casual tops that can easily be styled in more ways than one (…have y’all seen my Instagram lately? ha! Let’s just say my tops get a lot of wear) and this pretty white ‘Everyday Tee‘ is a welcomed addition to my wardrobe. Rather than show you how I’d style this tee in multiple ways over the span of a few weeks or months, I thought it would be fun to get right down to it and feature 3 adorable ways to wear this classic tee – in one blog post! (Psst..I added a bonus look that I kind of had to have as soon as I saw it online – hey, y’all know I’m a major sucker for stripes! 😉 )

Alright ladies, that’s a wrap! I had such a blast creating this post and having the opportunity to dive deeper into the classy, whimsical and ultra fabulous world of Kate Spade New York! I hope you enjoyed my styling tips and a glimpse at the new Broome Street collection!

Which look was your favorite? I’d love to know!! Feel free to share in the comments section! 😉

A big thank you to Kate Spade New York for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

Good evening, ladies! Keeping this post short & sweet because I am one tired gal! After a whirlwind of a weekend (including a trip to Houston yesterday – got home at midnight last night!), I am in desperate need of some r&r time for myself – a bubble bath then my cozy bed, here I come! 😉

But first, I wanted to share this adorable (and classy and simple) look because this skirt is FINALLY back in stock – woo! I scooped this skirt up at Saint Bernard (they have storefronts in Dallas and Austin, LOVE this retailer!) and it immediately sold out like hot cakes…thus, wanted to quickly spread the good news that you can finally get one for yourself – well, while they last!!

Haaaappy Friday, gals! I know I say this every week…but I am seriously SO glad it’s the weekend! I hope you all had a wonderful week and have some fun plans for the next couple of days ahead – or perhaps have no plans and get to enjoy a full r&r weekend to yourself (aren’t those the best? Very rare and must be cherished haha). I have a crazy busy weekend planned but it will all be a lot of fun! Tomorrow we’re celebrating my sweet nephew’s 3rd birthday with a big ‘ol kiddo-gym shindig (basically 30 adorable kids running around with giant smiles on their faces for a few hours straight…while Blake and I sit back in the corner and eat pizza and drink juice boxes together – ha!). Then Saturday evening we’re getting all dolled up for the Blanton Museum Gala – a live band and Blake in a suit, ha! Sign me up! 😉  …and I get to bust out my new Kate Spade heels…double YAY! Then on Sunday my mom and sister and I are going to drive to Houston to try on some bridesmaid dresses at BHLDN (…I know, I know, I’m a little obsessed with this store haha). There’s one particular style in mind for our wedding and I can’t wait to see what it looks like on my sister…will share some scenes from the trip on Snapchat (livvylandblog), so follow along!

Happy Saturday, ladies! I am super excited to chat about one of my favorite trends (that I have a feeling may just stick around forever..!) – “athleisure” … ya know, that whole might be working out later but probably just running errands or grabbing coffee in a very stylish yet somewhat athletic outfit… 😉 Ha! Basically in the city of Austin, this look is acceptable at all times. And I’m definitely not complaining! 😉 You probably saw me post an athleisure look last weekend on my Instagram feed, and the outfit was such a hit that I decided to do a full on blog post sharing my outfit details and more of my comfy, lounge-y, athleisure favorites from ModCloth.

I pulled more of my favorite athleisure finds from ModCloth (love this online retailer – they have amazing quality pieces at really incredible prices, the nicest customer service  and I love all the reviews under each product so you really know what you’re buying – so helpful!). So take a look and enjoy shopping for the perfect athleisure-to-loungewear-looks!

Hi gals, I hope your week is going well (and hopefully going to finish strong!). I don’t know about y’all, but I am super ready for a glass of wine (or two..) right about now, this week has been madness! Counting down the hours until it’s Friday and the clock strikes 5.. 😉

Onto this outfit, though.. 😉 I am so excited to partner up with Madewell and feature a few of my favorite picks from their new spring line and share more info about a fabulous contest they’re running for Madewell followers! (Y’all…Check out the contest rules and YOU could win a $1500 shopping spree & more, ahh-mazing!). To enter, just snap a photo wearing your Madewell denim and write your go-to ‘denim rule to live by’ in the caption, then add #denimmadewell and #contest to your caption & you’re good to go! (Like my rule: keep it simple and chic by pairing flattering denim jeans with a bold top – love the stripes!).

Good evening gals! I am super excited to partner up with FarFetch today on LL and style this adorable Tory Burch bag (that, as you can see, I am keeping extra close to me, ha! In LOVE with this pretty handbag!). If you follow me on Snapchat, you’ll know I totally geeked out when this handbag showed up on my doorstep…true story: after I signed for it at the door, I actually did a happy dance. Needless to say, Blake things I’m a nut – ha! 😉

If you haven’t checked out the abundance of gorgeous designer goods on FarFetch.com, then definitely grab yourself a glass of wine and enjoy perusing their website…seriously…the Tory Burch selection is pretty incredible. Ps. This is my first “Tory” item…needless to say I am a very happy girl when I wear this thing around town! This one is the “Britten Crossbody” handbag and it’s the perfect size for going out or hitting up a coffeehouse with a friend (…or with your pops, like I definitely did when we snapped these pics, ha. Coffee, a good outfit & father/daughter bonding time FTW! 😉 ).
