What’s the most flattering (and comfortable) dress silhouette? 100% the wrap dress. When I was getting married and I had bridesmaids of all beautiful shapes and sizes, wrap dresses were the one style that worked for every body type. Wrap dresses are timeless, classy and show off the waistline – something I LOVE when getting dressed! (…Note how I am always wearing high rise jeans haha…there’s a reason for that!). As we make our way into wedding season, company work parties (Blake always has a summer shindig) and date nights spent on the patio…there’s one go-to look that’s certain to make you feel and look your best! read more
We’ve got a new normal around here…and it revolves around this pup! Watson is eight months old and has finally started to turn into a civilized puppers haha. I mean…don’t get me wrong, he still jumps on everything and eats anything that hits the floor…but for the most part we can take him out in public without all the stress that comes with a puppy who has “zero chill.” And lemme tell ya, we are LOVING it! Especially now that the weather is perfect for a day spent outside…that’s exactly where we’re hanging out. This weekend we hit the park at Auditorium Shores and let Watson get out lots of energy (…which means we got out lots of energy too haha…someone has to chase him!).
What I’ve realized about life with a dog: you will definitely be getting in LOTS of steps. It’s been a complete (and welcomed!) lifestyle change for us but it’s no surprise I have been swapping my cute sandals for a solid pair of sneakers on most days. I have been on the wait list for the pair of Nike sneakers I’m wearing in this post and they are FINALLY here (no joke, I have checked their site daily for nearly a month…this style is sold out everywhere! Nike added new color options in this style and basically they sold out asap). They are part of the Nike Flyknit shoes collection with hundreds of amazing reviews online, and I am very pleased to say that those are accurate – they are SO amazing. Comfortable, lightweight and multi-purpose: from a morning run to an evening at the dog park, these are the “do everything” shoes I needed in my life! (Also this color is SO PRETTY! It’s a light cream). read more
A big thank you to Nike for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
Happy Friday, friends! We’re experiencing a torrential downpour in Austin right now and thus, sweatpants and movie watching it is. I was worried Watson would go stir crazy and in turn, cause me to go crazy haha, but alas, he has been THE biggest cuddle-muffin and it’s this version of Watson that makes me say “ahh, so that’s why we got a dog!” Those other times when he is eating our furniture or eating my hands always call our decision into question haha ah! 😉 As I am in full-on cozy mode – I am actually wearing this exact sweatshirt…which goes to show you just how wonderful (and versatile!) it can be. From pajamas to a presentable (…dare I say adorable?) and veeeery comfortable outfit! (Note: my shoes are #1 for comfort…nothin’ like good ‘ol Birkenstocks!) …This full look screams “wear me three days in a row!” and lemme tell ya, this weekend I’ll be putting it to good use. Ps. Don’t act like I’m the only one who wears the same outfit for days on end… 😉 ). Repeat offender and proud of it!
I think my hat racks are officially overflowing…and I am not slowing down anytime soon! 😉 Y’all know I loooove me a good boho fedora hat (this one is my go-to), but I’m pretty darn excited to add the fisherman’s hat trend to my rotation! It’s small, it’s chic, it can feel dressed up or casual…BIG fan over here. I feel like I’ve been pinning this hat for months (Pinterest is my very favorite for outfit inspiration! You can follow me here), and I had some fun styling this look for a fun, funky date night outfit. True story: Blake LOVED this outfit! He isn’t always super vocal about what I wear (…let’s just say I got a flatline when I wore my overalls in Japan, haha!), but he was definitely into this one. Atta way! 😉
So long, cognac shoes! 😉 Hello, burst of red and a little touch of instant happiness to any outfit. But it isn’t just any red, it’s poppy red. It’s extra bright and adds a fun energy I didn’t know my wardrobe needed – until I slipped into these shoes…
Ohh those darling straw/wicker/rattan (whatever you want to call it 😉 ) basket bags we keep seeing pop up on Pinterest and our Instagram feeds! They are feminine, a fun handbag change for these warmer months ahead and make for the perfect addition to any look, for any occasion (love that seashell clutch for a beach wedding!). I have a few rattan bags on rotation (you know the ones: see here & here), and I’ve scoured the Internet to pick a few more fabulous finds for y’all. Let’s get to it!
Hello, beautiful spring in Austin! We are officially enjoying full-on springtime, which means a little cooler in the morning and warm, sunny skies by the early afternoon. Even as someone who shops constantly (hey, it’s my job! 😉 ), I can definitely get stressed out when figuring out how to transition my wardrobe from season to season. I don’t want to overspend on trendy pieces, but I also want items that are fashion forward yet practical at the same time. This is where my friends over at Trunk Club come to the rescue!
Ohh the possibilities when it comes to the perfect white blouse. Dress it up, dress it down, wear it to brunch, wear it to the office…without a doubt, it’s a closet must. Though a plain white button down will do the trick, there are so many beautifully detailed additions to a classic white blouse out these days (like eyelet + ruffles) – and I can’t get enough!
Happy weekend, y’all! Blake is sound asleep next to me while I write this post from our hotel room in Tokyo. I woke up early for a conference call with a brand I’ll be working with in May (…4am in Tokyo is 3pm in NYC! …yes, it was brutal, ah!) and I couldn’t fall back to sleep after it was over. Thus, I went downstairs to grab some coffee and figured I’d get in a blog post while I’ve got the time (and energy!). During the call, she let me know that it’s 80 degrees in NYC today (yay for no more snow!) and I’m assuming it’s well over that by now in Austin, haha ah…! Which means time to bust out your cutest tank (this one is just $20!!), a great pair of denim and some gorgeous wedges (that are crazy comfy!). Let’s get to it… 😉
Bonjour, mes amis! Okay okay, I’ll cut it with the french buuut I am feeling oh so inspired by all the beautiful new spring pieces over at my favorite french brand, Sézane! My bff Elissa (flight attendant) just had an overnight in Paris a few days ago and she sent me a video of a giant line pouring out of the Sezane store and into the street, down an entire block! Now, if that doesn’t tell us something about how special this brand is…then all you have to do is take a look at their website (or Instagram…swoon!), to be completely captivated by the whimsical, feminine styles they carry. I’m excited to share a few of their new pieces that have been adding a major pop to my wardrobe lately… read more
