Periwinkle Boatneck Shift Dress

April 2016

Hi there! How is your weekend going? Things have been crazy busy in my world this week…I am currently in Dallas for the blogger conference I mentioned last week and man..it is BUSY! I woke up this morning at 6am to answer some emails because our schedule has been so jam packed over the past few days. Though waking up at 6am on a Saturday is never ideal, honestly it was really nice to enjoy some peace and quiet as the sun came up…always such a beautiful part of the day and nice to just be me and my thoughts (…and my giant cup of coffee, obvs! 😉 ) for a little while. Thus far the conference has been really wonderful (lots of social media tips, photo editing tools, brand collaboration meetings) and I’ve loved getting to spend so much time with one of my best friends (Lauren from the blog Vandi Fair – seriously we are GOOFS when we get together, so that has been amazing), but I must admit I am very excited to head back to Austin tonight to see Blake…3 days later and I am dying to see him! ..Hey, that’s a good sign though, ha.

Hello there! How was your weekend? Blake and I ventured to 3 local breweries on Saturday (…which left me asleep from 6pm on Saturday all the way to 7am on Sunday…let’s just say I’ll probably stay away from beer for a few weeks, ha!) and had lots of quality family time on Sunday (double dinner duty with Blake’s fam and mine – needless to say my belly & taste buds were very happy yesterday!). Overall, it was a great weekend and I haven’t felt this rested in a very long time…weirdly enough, ready for Monday and excited for what this week has in store (hey, that’s a great feeling I haven’t had in a while!).

Trend I’m Loving: Off Shoulder

April 2016

Happy Saturday! 🙂 How is your weekend going? I am currently rushing to finish up this post (ha…my life story!) and then quickly get ready to head over to 512 Brewery for an afternoon of beer sampling with one of Blake’s best friends and his fam. Drinking at 11am? I guess that’s one way to start my weekend, ha! Looking forward to sitting outside and busting out one of my fave off-the-shoulder tops today. 😉

Happy Thursday, ladies! I am super excited that we’re nearing the weekend because one of Blake’s best friends is in town and we have plans to attend a brewery tour and spend the day outside with some delicious cold beers – my kinda Saturday plans! 😉 I definitely thought yesterday was Thursday (…even ordered the “Thursday special” at a coffeehouse yesterday…ha! Needless to say, this week has been a long one already..!), so let’s just say I am counting down the minutes to 5pm tomorrow afternoon.. (then again, what’s new?! 😉 ).

LUNA Bar Shindig Recap!

March 2016

Hello gals! I am super excited about today’s post because for one, I had a ton of fun at this event and two, I am always happy to spread the word about amazing brands that care about their customers (…and products, of course! …And give me fuel to keep going these days – literally I have been LIVING off LUNA Bars lately..ah!). Last week I partnered with LUNA Bar to host a fab event at Embellish Nail Salon…and to say the least, it was SO much fun! (…Can you tell? And hey, that big ‘ol cheesy smile is not from the vino I drank that night either, ha!). Above you’ll see me (being a goof, what’s new? 😉 ) with Jeanine, the wonderful woman from the LUNA team who put this event together (…and did an incredible job, by the way!).

A big thank you to LUNA Bar for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

Casual Bodycon Dress

March 2016

Hello there! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today was kind of a “meh” day in my world…felt like I haven’t stopped moving ALL day. Perhaps that’s just Monday for ya…either way, after cleaning our apartment (true story: I count scrubbing the bathtub as a real workout…I broke a serious sweat, ha!) I treated myself to a beer and some sweatpants. Now, that’s my kinda Monday night! 😉 As y’all know, I am working on getting myself a new car, which means trying to sell my current one! Thus, I sat at the automotive shop for over an hour this afternoon (…and edited these images, ha – might as well get in some editing while I waited) and was very proud to call Blake afterwards and report that even though the man tried to talk me into buying wiper fluid and a new air filter (…I was determined NOT to be taken advantage of as a young lady who has minimal knowledge of cars) that I walked away with JUST an oil change. Hooray! (Anyone have this happen to them, too? You go in for something routine and suddenly you “need” 5 things done to your car and you walk out with a crazy bill? I’m SO over that!!). Anyhoo, my wonky Monday consisted of car services, grocery shopping, some time at the office, cleaning… you see what I mean? Not the best Monday I’ve ever had, ha!

Instagram Roundup: March 26, 2016

March 2016

Hi there! How is your weekend going? Blake is still sleeping, which means our abode is peaceful and quiet right now as I drink my coffee and work on what may just be my favorite Instagram roundup yet! After looking through my Instagram feed, I am not only super excited that spring has officially hit – but that there seems to be a more boho trend to all of my latest looks, and I am LOVING it!

I know some folks don’t use Like To Know It (seriously, you definitely should be – it’s AMAZING), so I just wanted to quickly touch on how you can shop these images straight from my Instagram feed by signing up! Basically, you sign up with your email address (you can do that here) and then any time you see one of my images come across your Instagram feed, simply double tap (or “like”) the picture and you’ll immediately receive an email from Like To Know It with a list of the products I am wearing – and voila, just like that you can shop my outfits from your phone within minutes! Seriously, Like To Know It is a game changer when it comes to online shopping and makes it SO simple and fun. Our society is big on instant gratification, so this is just another way we’re bridging the gap between seeing an item you like and being able to purchase it right away.

The ‘ol Birthday Post! 26 Things About Me

March 2016

Hello there! Today is a very special day because I turn 26 and more importantly, 26 marks a very big year for me! (Ps. BIG news ahead!!) …So, I decided to share 26 things you may not know about me because for one, social media doesn’t give me a ton of space to write (…and y’all know I love me some novels haha) and two, who doesn’t love lists?! 😉 Thanks for stopping by to read this, writing is really my first love (journalism grad over here) so these types of posts are a lot of fun to create – hope you enjoy!!

Bridal Lingerie with Nordstrom

March 2016

Hi there gals! Can’t believe we’ve already hit spring this year…which also means: wedding season is quickly approaching! Whether you’re the bride-to-be or you’re the one attending the showers and events leading up the big day, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to talk about their bridal lingerie selection! (Because let’s be honest….lingerie showers are pretty darn fun, especially when giving or receiving pretty little things like the ones I picked out above).
