Ohh that perfect yellow color…how stinkin’ cute is this for summer?! I love the updated take on a classic romper – that knot-front is adorable and the ruffle trim adds such a flirty vibe. I don’t feature “occasion” looks that often, but when I spotted this romper I knew it would be such a fun look for anything from a date night to a bright and airy wedding guest outfit. Spilling all the details below!

Urban Outfitters AfterPay

I come bearing some reaaaally great news: Urban Outfitters recently added AfterPay to their site, which means you pay only 25% up front, then pay the rest in four easy equal payments. OMG game changer because online shopping can add up (trust me…I know this all too well haha) and let’s just say when you really want that pair of Jeffrey Campbell flats (I’m talkin’ about these) but the price tag seems a little scary upfront aaand you’ve got a shopping cart filled with 10 other items (hi, that’s me!), AfterPay is the way to go.

Roundup: Best Weekend Sales

Hope y’all are having a wonderful long weekend! Blake and I have been busy spending time with family (my dad was in town this weekend, hooray!) and watching aaaall the crazy basketball playoff games. Tonight’s another big one (…eek! Obvs I’m putting all my positive juju towards the Houston Rockets!), and while we watch, I’ll be putting my multitasking skills to the test as I online shop all of the AMAZING weekend sales. (…True story: I’m a pro by now 😉 ). We don’t have cable, otherwise I would 100% be flipping back and forth between The Bachelor season premiere (…although Blake might be fighting me for the remote haha). I did some sale research this afternoon and rounded up my favorites from a few of my go-to retailers… enjoy some summer shopping, gals!

Summer Zen

It’s a short hike up to jaw-drop stunning views of Lake Austin (…and the mega mansions that surround it!), and on a weekday evening it’s not yet filled with tourists. It was once a hidden gem in town, and thankfully on a random Wednesday night as the sun was setting, we were able to set up camp and practice some poses. The sun sets around 8:30pm these days, so luckily most folks had left the area and were headed home – which gave us plenty of space to stretch freely and soak up the cliffside views, lush greenery and open air.

Summer Staples: Boyfriend Shorts & Classic Tee

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-natural-gardener-tee-boyfriend-shorts-denim-cutoffs-easy-summer-outfit-idea-treasure-bond-nordstrom-7livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-natural-gardener-tee-boyfriend-shorts-denim-cutoffs-easy-summer-outfit-idea-treasure-bond-nordstrom-2If there’s one item I can say is 100% a must in my summer wardrobe, it’s hands down a pair of boyfriend shorts. While I love a good pair of high rise, tighter denim shorts, there really is no comparison to the comfort of the effortlessly relaxed boyfriend style. Aaand as if the shorts alone weren’t wonderful enough, add in the softest tee (ever!), a pair of sneakers and an adorable little leather backpack. Hello, cute and oh-so-comfortable summer outfit option! Blake and I spent the entirety of our Saturday running errands around town and we stopped into the cutest local gardening store for some patio plants. Between the Texas heat and heavy plant lifting, let’s just say a breezy tee and denim combo was a very good idea!

Straw Fedora Hat

Pair with a relaxed button down and denim shorts, or grab your swimmie and hit the pool (…currently daydreaming of a “no worries” kinda day and that combo sounds fab-u-lous!). Brixton continues to bring their A-game when it comes to hats of all shapes and sizes (I styled this fun fisherman’s hat last week), and their selection at Urban Outfitters is simply the best. Y’all know I can’t live without my hat collection (no really…I use them for both decor and fashion, ha!) and I’m excited to share a few more of my faves today…

Tie Front High Rise Shorts

(…And breezy…which is something to note because when pretty much anything you put on sticks to you in this heat, finding shorts that don’t is a REALLY big deal, ha).
