Gold Dots & Lace

Gold-dots-tee-with-black-lace-shorts

Summer is here in Texas, it’s official! Summer is my absolute favorite season. I love sun dresses, shorts, and sandals. I love weekend’s in the sun and at the water. I love going to my Grandparent’s lake house for our family reunion. <sigh> I just LOVE summer! Let’s hope that this weekend is a beautiful one and that we can get some stuff done around the outside of our house that we haven’t been able to do since all of this rain began last month. I’m really in need of some sunlight and getting it while gardening sounds like the perfect way for it to happen:)  Gold-dots-tee-with-black-lace-shorts Gold-polka-dot-t-shirt-and-lace-shorts Groopdealz-Gold-Dot-T-Shirt Gold-dots-tee-with-black-lace-shorts Gold-polka-dot-shirt-with-black-shorts

This outfit makes me really excited for the weeks to come. I spotted these shorts when I stopped by the Ross in town and snagged them immediately. I won’t lie, I’ve never been a huge Ross fan, but after a coworker of mine came to work wearing some adorable items multiple times in a row, I had to check it out. I got these shorts and a navy striped maxi for under $30!
This top has been one of my favorites for a while now, and it still makes me happy every time I put it on. How could it not? Gold AND polka dots?! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week and Happy Friday Eve!!

Floral With A Floppy Hat

Red dress with straw floppy hat

I had such a great weekend in Dallas with my parents and my sister’s family for my little niece’s 3rd birthday. It just goes by way too quickly. You wait and wait for the day to come and then you blink, it’s over, and you’re driving home to Austin. <sigh> Sophie and I are STILL exhausted, so today’s post is going to be a little shorter than usual. I hope everyone is having a great week so far…see the bottom of the post for outfit deets!:)

I am actually super behind in posting this outfit. I wore it a few weekends ago and I love how everything goes together! I thought I would only wear this burgundy bag in the fall and winter, but I found an awesome way to wear it during the summer and that makes me happy! Have a wonderful Tuesday! See you next time!

The Healthy Living Struggle Is Real

Navy nautical top

It was one crazy weekend in Austin this weekend. There were some crazy storms that we managed to get through unscathed. We pretty much stayed indoors all weekend and I worked on shop items and photos as well as some blog things. I’ve been super busy lately with working out and eating healthy and all of my shop orders! You have no idea how much time it takes to get healthy until you are in the process of doing so! You have to meal plan which takes an hour or so each weekend, cook healthy meals which takes an hour or so each day plus the clean up, and then work out which can take up to 2 hours a day when you add in getting ready for it, traveling to the gym, and then showering after you’re done. I have to say, sometimes it’s a little more than I bargained for. <sigh> I just have to keep chugging along and remind myself that I have come so far already and I need to make this a lifestyle for myself so that I can keep it up. The benefits of living healthy far outweigh any extra time that I would have in not doing so.

Today’s outfit is a great one for summer. If you have been around here for any amount of time now, you know that nautical attire is a favorite of mine:) When I had the opportunity to get this J McLaughlin top I jumped on the chance. Stripes are a girls best friend regardless of what they say and this shirt is BEYOND soft! If you have the money to spend on the brand, I definitely love the shirt.

I bought these shorts online from J Crew a few months ago on super sale and was SO excited when I got them in. They are actually a little bit big on me already, but that just makes them extra comfortable, right? :) Haha! Well, I hope that you are all having a wonderful hump day! That’s the joys of a 3 day weekend, the next one will be here before we know it! Have a good one!

A Great New Find: JORD Wood Watches

JORD-Maple-Wood-Watch

Sometimes, as a blogger, its rough to find awesome items that not every single blogger has. I think we all get sucked into the Instagram world where we want every tiny thing we see and then we all post about the same things. Guilty as charged. That’s why, when I find something exceptionally unique to talk about I get all giddy inside:) When JORD wood watches contacted me and asked if I would review one of their watches I jumped at the chance. I had never seen a watch made out of wood, and was intrigued. After browsing the site for a while, I fell in love with the Ely watch in the maple finish. I thought that it would best match most things that I already own and I have been loving it so far! As I had hoped, it matches pretty much everything and I have been wearing it non stop!

JORD watches are handcrafted from natural woods like maple, bamboo, and Sandalwood, which I think is pretty cool in itself, and then on top of it the glass is a scratch proof glass. This is perfect for me, since I tend to scratch the face of every watch I ever get! I love that they use sustainable resources from around the world and then make them right here in the good old U S of A! I also love that it isn’t as heavy as some metal watches I have owned. It also doesn’t clank against my bangles and bracelets:) #fashionbloggerproblems

JORD watches are also available for men, and would make a great Father’s Day gift! Especially for that Dad who has everything already. I bet you he doesn’t have a wooden watch! I’ll be keeping this on my Father’s Day list for sure! Which watch is your favorite?
