Tie-Front Top
Ohh spring, how I love you so. This week has been pretty incredible when it comes to Austin weather, and I’ve forced myself to get outside everyday and take full advantage! I am going on day 4 of my “Olivia, step away from your computer and do something outdoors” daily mission, and truth be told, it’s been heavenly. There’s just nothing quite like Vitamin D, comfy sneakers and a phone call with my sister/mom/friend to get all the happy feels going in my mind and body. Going to do my best to keep up this positive form of daily activity…I can already tell it’s making a big difference!
On the subject of getting outside…South Congress Avenue is one of Austin’s most beloved streets (…you’ll notice all the folks snapping pics with the wall mural on the right), and it’s one of my absolute favorite places to stroll, grab coffee or cocktails, and window shop. Austin is such a relaxed city, so rocking some distressed denim with a darling little tie-front top is a definite do.

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!
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!).
Hello there! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are strolling into Monday feeling refreshed and motivated to take on the week! We are in the midst of a new site design rollout (eek, can’t wait to share this with y’all in the next few days – Blake has been hard at work creating something really magical!), thus the past few days were spent getting content re-tagged (I’m adding a few new categories to my new site) and all that good stuff. Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Happy Friday, gals! Sharing an easy, cute look today and featuring this adorable
