Trend Alert: The Dad Sneaker

After spending the past week in NYC, there was one trend I was happy to partake in: the dad sneaker. Now don't get me wrong, I was hesitant at first to jump on board with the chunky, white sneaker straight out of the 90s. But as you know, the 90s trends are back and if there's one thing we can agree on, sneakers are quite comfortable. This pair is from the new Nordstrom x Nike pop up and works for both athleisure and style. I wear them with leggings to walk Lucy around the block or with a midi dress or satin skirt to grab lunch with Austin. ...

5 Ways to Style a Leopard Print Blouse

Say hello to your new neutral my friends. Without a doubt, leopard print is one of my favorite trends we are seeing this season. But to be honest, did it ever go away?

So with that, it was only appropriate for me to share a few different ways to style your leopard print blouse this season. ...

What I Wore To NYFW

Happy Monday, friends! I just got back from New York Fashion Week late Thursday night and spent the weekend taking a digital detox. After being gone on work trips for nearly 2 weeks, it felt good to unplug for a couple of days. We spent the weekend packing, working on Ashley at Home and tying up loose ends on a few of our upcoming projects. So not much relaxing going on over here but it feels good being back in the swing of things.  ...

5 Ways to be a Tourist in Your Own City this Fall

Dallas is an incredible city and I feel so lucky to call it home. We have a great food scene, beautiful neighborhoods, and arguably some of the best shopping. And though I love the hustle of New York City and San Francisco, this is a perfect place for us to call home. But sometimes, Austin and I struggle to get creative when it comes to dates or things to do on the weekend. We have our typical "dinner and a movie", which I honestly love, but there are times when you want to mix things up a bit. ...

The Sephora VIB Sale is Nearly Over — Here’s What To Buy

Happy Labor Day Weekend! The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale ends today and I wanted to pop in and share a few unique products I am using that can be found on sale. I really didn't plan on doing a full Sephora sale guide, only because I have done quite a few in the past and really, those picks haven't changed. I am still using this foundation (and I rotate with this one or the bareMinerals Original Foundation Powder - per my derm's request), my favorite blush still continues to be the NARS Multiple and I will always recommend a good sunscreen like the Supergoop Spray or really anything from their line. But quite a few of you were asking for my recommendations, so here are a few things I've been using for the past several months. What did you pick up at the sale?  ...

Why I Love a Gel Moisturizer

A gel moisturizer might be my favorite skincare product in my beauty bag. And if you've followed TTD for a while, you know it's the only type of moisturizer I use! It all started a couple years ago when my dermatologist recommended I make the switch due to acne flare-ups, oily skin and texture.  Not only has it helped clear my skin, but I've learned that a gel formula will offer oil-free hydration and still give you bouncy, glowy skin. ...
