Festival Ready
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!
Before I share more about this look/the shindig, I must give a shoutout to my photographer Brandon Hill for being a TOTAL rockstar and braving the festival madness to come shoot this look…you are AWESOME & very much appreciated!!

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!
That moment when you step outside of your “shoe comfort zone” and go for the leopard print over cognac…(omg, this is a big moment for me, ha!). Not going to lie, I even texted a few of my friends juuust to make sure leopard wasn’t “too crazy” for my wardrobe. Call me ridiculous (yes, I’m aware), but hey, the consensus was 100% “Olivia, you NEED 
A couple of things: 1. SXSW shindigs start tomorrow (omg I am so excited, it’s basically like this city shuts down for a full week!) which means I should probably start getting my outfits prepped and ready…always delayed, always a hot mess, per usual! and 2. drinks will be flowing, the sun will be shining, socializing will be in full swing, music will be blasting and I will most definitely need fuel throughout the week! That said, I’m soooo excited to partner with CLIF Bar for the fest and hit up their awesome CLIF Bar Bash at The Blackheart on Rainy Street (open to the public, come join me March 14th & 15th from 11:30am-6pm!! 
Keeping it short & sweet tonight (…The Bachelor and wine are calling my name! 😉 ), but I was too excited about this adorable off-shoulder gingham top and wanted to get you the details asap! Hello, spring tops… (hooray for sunshine and warmer weather, too!).
Happy Friday, gals! Sharing an easy, cute look today and featuring this adorable 
A new season is upon on, which means finding those perfect transition pieces to take you from winter and right on into spring! When it comes to
