Navy Stripes With Coral

I am so tired! This past weekend was my birthday weekend, and you know how that goes. We had to eat all the food and do ALL the activities. After brunching twice, walking a lot, eating more than my fill of Hopddody, playing Topgolf, and paddle boarding on the river I was exhausted come Sunday night. Then, we took our friend who was in town helping with the floods to Patrizi's, this amazing Italian food truck here in Austin, and sat there chatting for four hours. (Oh, and saw Zoe Deschanel too, but that's another story for another time:)) After our 4 hour chat, we realized that it was super late and we had to drive him all the way back down to Wimberely and then drive ourselves home. Needless to say, I was barely functioning on Monday morning. Then, to top it all off, my sister, her husband, their 3 kids and 2 dogs all came down on Monday night and stayed until Wednesday morning. Obviously we had to stay up late chatting and get no sleep again. So, last night was spent catching up on orders for my shop and relaxing. <sigh> It's always so much fun to have people in town and sad to see them go, but I am fully ready for a weekend of doing not much. I'm hoping to get a little bit of painting done around our house this weekend, and that's about it. Let's hope it's as relaxing as I'm thinking it will be:) Get The Look: Ross Striped Maxi // Statement Necklace from Rocksbox // Charming Charlie Clutch, Belt, & Texas Bracelet // Target Sunglasses & Sandals // JORD Wooden Watch This dress was a winner for sure. I got it for $12 at Ross and I have already worn it multiple times. I love the lace detail and I LOVE this necklace with it. It's my first purchase from a Rocksbox and I am SO in love with it! Side braids have been my go to hair style recently with all of this rain and humidity. I am so bummed at how this summer has started out. Usually by now it's in the 90's and beautiful every day and so far we've just had a lot of rain and humidity. Now, I can't really complain because this rain is getting us out of the drought, but I want to see some sunshine for more than a week! Haha! Oh well, I live in Texas...it will be absolutely beautiful in another week or so and there won't be a cloud in the sky for months:) Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far and has a beautiful weekend!

Holiday Party Attire

Red and cream holiday attire

I feel like the moment November hits the rest of the year is a blur. It’s already December 3rd now and I am beyond busy! I’m in charge of the annual holiday party at work and I absolutely LOVE all the planning and decorating, but it can be so stressful! You want to make sure everything is perfect and that everyone is going to have a good time….no pressure! Lol! I have been planning and prepping for weeks now and almost all of the details are ready! (I’m pretty sure that’s just a nicer way of saying I’ve got a giant Pinterest board going…) The only thing I have to decide on now is the outfit! I have a bunch of different options as per usual and I probably won’t know what I will be wearing until 5 minutes before the party starts. This red and white outfit is one of my options. I love a little red at Christmas time and the winter white, chiffon skirt is one of my new favorites that I picked up on sale from Nordstrom Rack!Holiday outfit- red and cream Cream chiffon pleated skirt with leopard pumps Red plaid bow with Holiday outfit Red Target shirt with Nordstrom Rack Skirt Red Holiday Oufit- Twirl Red plaid bow clipGet The Look:

I’m sure my other outfit options will be showing up here sooner or later:) My favorite thus far involves a lot of gold and shimmer, but I’m not sure if it’s too much or not. Oh well, I’ll decide sooner or later! Stay tuned later this week for the 12 days of Christmas! Last year it was the 12 days of Christmas crafts, and this year it will be all things Christmas- recipes, crafts, and gifts! Get excited!

Remixing Your Closet For Different Seasons

One Skirt Two Different SeasonsI said it yesterday and I will say it again, I love remixing my pieces into new outfits. One of the key things I look for in a new piece is color. Multicolored items have a much better chance in being remixed because there are more colors to match to. This skirt is wonderful because there are pops of pink, cobalt, yellow, mint, and orange in it. Any color sweater or top would look wonderful, as would most colored shoes. I love both of the ways I have styled it so far, but I would really like to wear a pink top with it next, maybe with a mint necklace? I think it would look fantastic with a darker chambray top and a hot pink necklace:) Oh the possibilities!

Bring On Spring

Pink hi low skirt and chambray

Hi Lovelies!

The weather is beautiful and I even though I have been breaking out the spring clothes on and off for a few weeks now, I think I can say that it is officially springtime in Texas! Woohoo! I found these wedges on Target’s website and knew that I had to have some new ones for this summer. I am so glad I bought them, because they go with everything! I love that gold bar down the center….gives it a little extra something something:) This skirt was a part of my birthday outfit last summer and the weather just seemed perfect for bringing out an old summer favorite:)

I usually go home for lunch so that I can spend less money on food and a little extra time with my puppy. I actually had the chance to sit in the sun and get a tan started while I was lunching yesterday, I was so excited! I sat on the back patio book in hand, puppy on lap, straps down, and sunglasses up just catchin’ some rays. I hope for your sake it’s warm where you are too! If not, come on down to Austin, it’s beautiful!
