Hello loves! How’s your week going? Wahooo, we made it to Friday! 😉 I’m excited to finally share this adorable little gingham top on my blog today – you’ve probably seen it pop up a ton on my Instagram feed, so it’s time for the big reveal! 😉 Pretty cute, huh?

Hello sweet friends! Once again, please forgive my delay in posting on my blog this week – I just got back from my bachelorette trip last night (we went to Costa Rica, it was magical!!), so after 10 loads of laundry and numerous espresso shots today (ah!) I am so happy to sit down and share this much anticipated post with y’all! Though we stopped at quite a few places on our Princess Cruise through the Mediterranean coast (so crazy that I just hopped off the ship roughly a week ago!), I thought I’d start with Cartagena, Spain – the cutest little coastal town that had such an old, vintage charm about it. (Oh, and very good beer, too! 😉 )…

As y’all know if you follow me on Instagram, Blake & I just got back from a 10 day Mediterranean getaway with Princess Cruises to Spain, France and Italy! And while I have been living in a wanderlust depression ever since we returned back home (…y’all, it was truly magical!), going through these photos makes my heart so happy because each and every day was absolutely incredible. Every setting was stunning, inspiring and super romantic – if you ever have the chance to tour the Mediterranean, 100% jump on it and prepare for the most amazing and beautiful experience! I have a ton of other photos and blog posts about our trip to come, but first I wanted to make sure you had the chance to shop everything I wore throughout our vacation! I did some serious shopping damage before our trip (hey, it’s not everyday I get to have Italy as a photo backdrop 😉 ) and I am so obsessed with all of these looks and excited to tell you more about each outfit..
Hello there! I know I know, it’s been a LONG time since my last blog post – please forgive me!! We finally got back from our Mediterranean travels (oh ya know, just a 24 hour travel day yesterday…ah!) and I must say, it was kind of nice to have such spotty internet access because it gave me a short mental break and really gave me time to soak in Europe and quality time with Blake! Even though I am suffering from the travel blues (miss it already!), I was pretty happy to wake up in my own bed this morning (…there’s no place like home, ya know?). Ready to get back to my routine for just two days, then I’m headed to COSTA RICA for my bachelorette party shindig!! 7 days of sunshine, surfing and pina coladas, here we come!
But before I switch gears to travel posts, I wanted to share this ahh-dor-able  chambray off shoulder top & white jeans outfit – it’s so perfect for summer!!

Hello gals! I’m currently writing this from our cruise cabin (we’re at the Gibraltar port, thus…we finally have good Internet…hooray! 😉 ) while on on Mediterranean getaway with Princess Cruises! We’re 4 days in and I am soooo enjoying every single second… sight seeing in a ton of different coastal cities, incredible company (we’re with a bunch of other bloggers and their s/o’s and everyone is SO fun and down to earth!) and a beautiful floating hotel…what’s not to love? I can’t wait to share all of the photos with you guys – let’s hope I can do this trip justice when I share my wrap-up posts! (Truly, it’s been magical…so great to unwind and even nice to not have Internet access half the time, ha! It’s like a forced vacation…which seems to be exactly what I needed..:) ). More on that later, though.. 😉
For now, I wanted to post this adorable striped tank (the open + strappy back, gahh it’s PERFECT!) because y’all, it’s 40% off and now on sale for just $21!! (I am wearing a size small for reference). I’m a big fan of the hi-lo fit and of course, y’all know I’m a sucker for stripes. 😉 This top goes back to full price ($36) on June 5th – so now’s your time to scoop this cutie up! Ps. It also comes in another print that you can check out here.
Happy weekend, ladies! Although I’m in Europe for the next week, I’ve prepped quite a few posts to go up while I’m away…and I am SO excited to start off with my latest post for Style Me Pretty featuring wedding day rehearsal dinner outfit ideas! (You can check out that post on SMP here).
Last month I ventured to the gorgeous Contemporary Austin venue to shoot a few fabulous looks with one of my good friends and super talented wedding photographer, Kathryn Frazer Photography – so take a peek at 3 gorgeous looks for all the bride-to-be’s out there!

Ooh girls am I excited about today’s post! As y’all know, I’ve been a HUGE fangirl of Brahmin handbags for years now, so when they asked me to collaborate and feature my favorite bag from their new Southcoast collection, you better believe I did a happy dance at my desk and immediately called Blake right after that email came in – ha! ;). Hey, we all have things we obsess over and after falling in love with their handbags while working at Nordstrom in college…let’s just say my Brahmin obsession stuck around and has only grown stronger! (…Especially when they keep coming out with gorgeous new handbags that are totally my style, like the Sonny Crossbody Handbag in Tan Savannah).

Happy Monday, gals! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen that I am already enjoying summer activities here in Austin… Blake and I ventured to the Greenbelt for a little creekside swim and picnic on Saturday. It’s been raining so much recently that there was actually plenty of water (it’s a miracle!) and TONS of people were out enjoying some quality time outside with their friends, family and SO many pups…it was so much fun to see! Summer is hands down the most fun season for me because I can finally partake in one of my very favorite activities..SWIMMING! Oh…and summer vacations aren’t so bad, either! 😉 But in all seriousness, once Austin hits those super high temps, you can find me swimming laps at the pool everyday (not even kidding, that’s my main form of exercise in the summer… I LOVE it!). Both my parents grew up as competitive swimmers (as in, held statewide records…true story!) so my siblings and I like to joke that we were swimming before we learned to walk.. which somehow I wouldn’t doubt knowing my parents love for the water, ha!

Happy Friday, gals! Do you have any exciting weekend plans in the works? I have a to-do list that’s inching close to a mile long before our trip, so I’ll be in go-go-go mode until next Thursday when we hit the airport and it’s all smooth sailin’ from there! 🙂 Tomorrow I am shooting my next Style Me Pretty post and it’s featuring some fun themed goodie bags for my bridal party for my big bachelorette shindig! I’m doing a “destination bachelorette trip” so I can’t wait to share where we’re headed to…but for now, I’ll be sharing sneak peeks on my Snapchat (livvylandblog) as I shoot this next SMP post! Hint: It’s a mermaid themed bachelorette trip… 😉
Nowww to this outfit..! 😉 Two weeks ago I drove into Dallas to visit with one of my best friends and I snapped these photos while we were out and about! As y’all know, I like to feature looks that you can wear everyday and showcase specific items that you can re-style to get the most out of your wardrobe, and I felt like this look encompassed pieces that you can absolutely wear over and over again. And come to think of it, I’ve worn each of these items in different ways recently on my blog and Instagram feed, so already you have some styling inspiration at your fingertips! 😉 This top would be so cute with cutoff denim shorts for summer and these jeans would be equally adorable paired with a free flowing off-shoulder top. Voila, two items, so many outfit possibilities!
