One thing I always miss while pregnant is denim - more specifically, non-maternity jeans, shorts, and the like. Don't get me wrong, maternity jeans have come a long way (here are they brands I like) and I'm grateful to be pregnant, of course, but buttoning up a good pair of jeans is something I'm looking forward to later this year! ...
I know there is a lot of product sharing out there in the influencer world, myself included. We're always sharing what we love or what works for us, but something I don't share too often is when a product doesn't work for me. I usually only focus on the stuff that I love but I thought it might be helpful, especially for those of y'all who know you have similar skin to me or whatever, to start sharing the items that didn't work out for me. This isn't to bash the brand or ANYTHING like that, and instead, I'm just trying to share the good and the bad (for me). ...
This past weekend Austin and I celebrated my birthday with a staycation in Dallas. It was so much fun to have a weekend just the two of us and truly relax. It's a great way to "get away" without actually getting away. Highly recommend a staycation if you are getting the travel bug, but not ready to fly.
We've done a few staycations this year and I wanted to share what I typically pack for a staycation. I keep it low-key and try to eliminate any extras I don't need. I hate unpacking and this saves me from putting back the things I didn't even wear or use. ...
Dallas is hitting the 70s this week so you know I'm pulling out all the spring things, officially. And at the top of my shopping list each spring is, of course, sandals. From casual ones to throw on with denim cutoffs or a skirt, to heeled options that elevate a look, I honestly get a little giddy shopping for spring sandals. What can I say? I'm an accessories girl. ...
By this point, you guys know I'm a big fan of Amazon - I mean, I think most of us are. Between the pandemic/going out less, the ease of their delivery, shopping for work and family/household stuff, I'm usually putting at least one order in a week. And while I do have good luck with most things, I definitely have sent a lot back. What I mean is while you can find gems on there, there are obviously items that don't live up to your standards too, and I'm pretty choosy with what I end up keeping. ...
You know I live in blazers year-round but fall and spring are definitely my favorite seasons for them. While fall blazers are all about weight and plaid, spring blazers offer a chic light look that I love paired with jeans or over a dress. And with spring pastels a trend this season, I had a lot of fun scouring the web for the best spring blazers — finding some under $50! ...
I did a Pregnancy Q+A on Instagram recently and a popular question that came up was where to shop for maternity clothes. But honestly, there's very few maternity brands that I like. With the exception of pants, I try to stick with stretchy or flowy non-maternity pieces that will accommodate the bump. I typically have good luck at Amazon and prefer to not spend a ton on tops or dresses that I'm not going to wear past the pregnancy. ...
Alright ladies, let's talk bags. Y'all know I'm a sucker for bags and while I do tend to invest in designer and high-quality bags most of the time, I can't pass up a good budget-friendly bag if I want to try out a trend. I definitely keep my designer/investment bags more classic (see my most recent designer purchase here) but when it comes to trends, I'll look for quality options at a lower price. Which is where this blog post comes in!
To be honest, you have to dig to find decent bags at this price point but I found 10 that I'm pretty impressed with. From the quilted and padded trend happening on accessories right now to an effortless backpack to a more refined hobo bag, I'm really excited to share these options with you!
Let me know if you have any favorites from this list.

How is it that January seemed to last three years but I blinked and Febraury was gone? Not complaining too much though because that means we're one month closer to meeting baby Robertson No. 2! Of course I'm kicking off the month with February's top 10, which is dominated by style picks and just a few home items. Remember that you can shop everything I’m posting right here at all times. ...
This is always a popular question in my DM's, so I figured it made the most sense to have a spot for me to list out all my favorite Dallas spots. If you're a local, feel free to comment and add to the list! ...
