Today I wanted to share a few recent snaps from our trip to Florida last week. Many of you asked about sizing and quality, so I made sure to include that at the bottom of each picture. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by!
Also, I have to do a shout out to my SIL, Megan, who decided to bring back her blog. She started it last year and after taking a break, she's ready to get back into the swing of things! She is an amazing writer and loves to work out. So if you are into healthy living and looking cute while working out, she's your gal! Check her out at That Running Girl Blog.
This top is so soft! I went up to a size Medium because I wanted a loose fit. These shorts run a little big, I sized down.
These earrings are surprisingly so light. They are very easy to wear and not heavy at all.
This coverup stretches over time, I am in a small. It's very soft!
Nordstrom Sale Reviews
As many of you know, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going on, but not for long! Many of you have asked about my sale picks for Fall (specifically layers), work clothes, and shoes. I know right now it's hard to think "Fall" when we are having 100 degree days, but these are staples that I will wear all the time in the next few months. We have a few trips coming up in September and October, and all I can think about is this waterfall cardigan (on sale, under $50), these jeans, with these flats. Comfort is key when traveling! ...
Beach Braids & Tassel Earrings
Any time I visit the beach, I instantly feel the need to wear tassels, beads and bold prints. It's no surprise that I packed this off the shoulder dress (worn as a cover up) and these blue tassel earrings for our trip to Seaside, FL last week. The blue and white seemed to be a great fit for the beach and the tassel bracelets are always a must.
One of my favorite places in the Seaside Square is the little outside market. There are so many pretty shops, full of flowy dresses and linen tops. Austin and I spend one morning down here to grab some iced coffee before heading down to the beach. The weather was beautiful and it made for a great way to start the day!
BRAIDED MESSY BUN
When I posted this instagram, many of you asked about the products I used in my hair and requested a tutorial. I plan to work on one, but in the meantime, I used this shampoo & conditioner (the best cheap stuff ever!) this smoothing serum (also has thermal protection and UV protection...a major plus for us with colored ...
Black Crochet Dress
Happy Sunday everyone! Today we are leaving beautiful Seaside, and heading back to Dallas. This family vacation has been a blast and I always get a little bummed when it's time to head back home.
I wanted to share a look we shot last week in Rosemary Beach. I absolutely love this black crochet hem dress by Joy Han. It's such an easy travel dress and very comfortable. It's a little embarrassing how many times I've worn it on this trip, but it just goes to show how versatile this dress it.
Don't you love finding those pieces that you know you will wear over and over again? I would definitely consider this a staple.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by! xx

Blue & White Floral Dress
Hi again from Seaside! I can't believe our trip is almost over. We have had such a great time in Seaside and we are loving our last few days here! Today we are going to grab a quick breakfast and head to the pool. We have family photos tonight so we aren't staying out too late today.
This Blue and White Floral Dress (see below for fit guide) was perfect to wear out to dinner Monday night. It's a fun summery option for vacation, night out, or brunching with the girls. I love the print, because you can wear it with neutrals or with a pop of color. I wear this Magenta Crossbody Tote all the time and I loved the way it looked with this dress.
Have a great day and thanks for reading! xx

White Tunic & Boyfriend Shorts
Hello from Florida! You may have seen my snapchats or instgrams this week and noticed that Austin and I were on a trip with my family this week. We are staying in Watercolor, FL but have enjoyed time at Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach and of course Seaside. We will be here until Sunday, so be sure check out my snapchat ("theteacherdiva") or instagrams to see more from our trip!
This White Tunic (only a few left in stock- similar here, here, here, and here) has been one of my favorite blouses this summer. I have already worn it twice while on this trip and have had multiple people stop me asking about it. You know it's good when a total stranger will stop you and compliment your look...am I right? I've worn it with these boyfriend jeans and these skinny jeans and love the oversized look.
Many of you have been asking about my sunglasses, they can be ...

Summer Scarf
No matter what time of year, I like to wear scarves. Of course there is a time and place for thick, wool scarves (and summer is not one of them!) but I do love to throw on a thin, breezy scarf this time of year. This thin striped scarf from Urban Outfitters is perfect for summer. It gives off an effortless vibe whether you pair it with a t-shirt and jeans, or a sun dress.
I like to have fun with scarves, and wear them a few different ways. Here, I kept it tied traditionally and also wore it long. I'm not sure which one I like better, but I do know that I love the versatility of this scarf! Which way do you prefer to wear a scarf?
PS- Did you have a chance to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? It's open to everyone on Friday and I will be having a huge sale roundup early Friday morning! In case you missed my other roundups, here are Beauty Exclusive's and Favorite Sale Finds. Happy Shopping! xx

Being someone that loves to collect handbags, I was very excited for the opportunity to shop with Keeks. They have a wonderful reputation, and I know I am going to get a quality product.
I often receive many questions about my handbags and many of you asked about the buying process and product quality at Keeks Designer Handbags.

Hi everyone! Lately, I have been getting a lot of emails and questions regarding my outfits from instagram so I thought I would do a little IG round up.

Thanks and have a wonderful day! xx
