While summer doesn't officially begin until June, Memorial Day weekend always seems to feel like the start to me. Right? We usually like to spend the weekend at the lake or at least at the pool, and I know a lot of y'all also have plans for the long weekend, so I wanted to curate what I'd be wearing (in years where I haven't just brought home a newborn...). ...
One of my favorite parts of warmer weather is getting to spend more time by the water. It's usually the pool or lake for us here in Dallas, but I'm also looking forward to some beach trips in the next year or two. I, of course, have a specific 'packing list' for days by the water, even if it's just heading to a friend's pool, and it looks something like this... ...
As I mentioned in this post with Gift Ideas for Valentine's Day, Austin and I usually keep things pretty casual. I think we did the whole Vday dinner out a couple times and realized that with the upcharges for dinner, long waits, and all that, we preferred to stay in. And now that we have George and baby on the way, it feels even more special to stay in and celebrate love at home.
If you're staying in this year, here are some fun ideas that I've come up with to celebrate. Austin and I have actually done a few of these before and I'm thinking we'll go with a cheese board, chocolate tasting and a cute movie with George this year. ...
I don't know about you, but Valentine's Day isn't a holiday that Austin and I typically do anything big for. It used to be fun to go on dates and out to drinks when we were younger but honestly, I love nothing more than a relaxed night at home now. Which I guess works out considering the times we live in right now. We do still tend to do cards + a little gift most years though, and I'm excited to spoil George this year of course. ...
I'm a huge jewelry girl, and I'll admit that I have a slight problem, but in my defense, I try to find high-quality items that are crazy expensive (and I obviously invest in classic pieces that are pricier). I truly believe jewelry can change your whole look and make leggings and an oversized sweatshirt look chic, so my collection is forever growing. ...
I always enjoy reading about people's habits and tips for a successful day. I'm so nosey and find it pretty fascinating to learn what people do to be more productive, relax, etc. I wrote about the 10 things I do before 10 am a few months ago, and wanted to share a list of 5 things I do everyday. Not necessarily work related, but just things that set me up for a productive day. ...
If you're shopping Black Friday + Cyber Monday Sales, you're in luck. Many retailers have released early sales and I've sorted through and found the best of the best. This is a shortlist, but I promise it's good.
I like to keep it to brands I regularly shop and deals that are actually worth checking out. Oh and more brands will be added to this list on Friday morning, so be sure to check back. ...
My Holiday Gift Guides are in full swing and this beauty list might be my favorite one yet. Shopping for the beauty-obsessed doesn't have to be hard. In fact, Nordstrom makes it quite easy since they carry all the top beauty brands. ...

I don't know about you guys, but I always keep it really casual on Thanksgiving. Even when we've had larger celebrations, I prefer to be comfortable with so much cooking, lounging, and let's be real...eating. If you like to dress up I may not be your girl, but for those of you who also stay pretty casual, this post is for you. Keep scrolling for a few low-key Thanksgiving Day outfits. ...
