Summer Staples: Boyfriend Shorts & Classic Tee

If 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!

Say hello to the straw hat that adds an effortlessly cool, summer vibe to any outfit. 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!). 

Austin has officially hit summer temperatures (apparently we’ll get up to 100 degrees within the week, ah!), which means I have neatly tucked away my jeans and traded them for shorts of all styles…cutoffs, high rise, boyfriend and my current favorite:

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!


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!).

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 

If there’s one home decor trend I am swooning over this year, it’s rattan furniture (for indoors!). I’ve been seeing interior design photos pop up on
