We are packing our bags and getting ready to head out for Thanksgiving. I am so excited! This year we are doing our usual Hopkins house for lunch and Robertson house for dinner, but we decided to extend our stay and spend a few extra nights with each family. We typically play games, go to the movies, bake — it's a good time for all! ...
There's really no easy way to jump into today's scheduled post. If you follow us on Instagram you know that this past week (really the past 2 weeks) have been exceptionally hard for us. Last Wednesday we had to say goodbye to our precious French bulldog Lucy and we are beyond crushed. I will talk about this when I feel the time is right, but for now, we are trying our best to heal and find some sense of normal. Getting back into my regular posting schedule, working on creative projects and engaging with you guys on social media have started to help. Maybe it's just a temporary distraction but it's all I can do to prevent sitting in this empty house and letting my mind wander. I do want to thank everyone for the kind notes and prayers that were sent our way this past week. Austin and I read each one. And though it doesn't take away the pain from losing a loved one, it was comforting to read your words of hope, love and strength. ...
Sometimes, planning your workwear can feel redundant or lack creativity. We've all been there! You have so much on your plate the last thing you want to worry about it is dressing the part. Last year, I officially launched the Wear to Work series in hopes to make that a little easier for you and share some resources to build you capsule work wardrobe. Today, I'm sharing a few fall inspired options that will give you a pep in your step as you head into the office. ...
A good shirtdress is a closet staple. It's versatile, easy to wear, and something you can almost wear year round. At least that's what I thought when I found this striped shirtdress a few weeks ago. ...
Ok, I admit it. I have a thing for blazers. And if you've read my blog for a while, you know I'm all about layering. I am a firm believer in the "third piece" rule, no matter the season. And though it is crazy hot this time of year, I have 3 tips to help you layer, while keeping cool. ...
After this weekend's wedding festivities, I had a few DMs asking about what to wear to a summer wedding. 'Tis the season, right? Austin and I love weddings. The dancing, sentimental moments, delicious food and getting dressed up, all make for a memorable evening! But with these events, come finding the perfect dress.
We all know the list of do's and don't for summer wedding attire, but it seems lately dress codes have become a little more flexible. That still doesn't downplay the task of finding the perfect dress though! Below, I sourced the interwebs for the best options for outside weddings, black tie, and cocktail. ...
I can still remember feeling grateful that as a teacher we had summers off, mainly because dressing for work in the summer can be tricky. Even warm spring or early fall days in Texas meant getting creative with what I wore to school. (If you live in the South, you know what I'm talking about!) And even though I no longer have to go into a traditional setting, I do have business-related work year-round and the need for summer work wear. ...
I just love a little white dress for summer. A dress is always the easiest option for me (especially in this Texas heat) and this embroidered option just happens to be under $150. I always try to keep things as light as possible during the Texas summer. Plus it's going to be the perfect option to pack with me on our beach vacation next month. ...
I'm always a sucker for a good maxi dress. The ease and comfortable fit of a maxi dress is like none other in my opinion! I also just find them simple and elegant. And if you're like me, you like to have a few options in your closet this time of year.
In the spirit of warmer weather in the near future, I've pulled 5 options ideal for this season. ...
I've always had a thing for graphic tees or embroidered knits. It adds an unexpected feel to your outfit or a touch of whimsey. Lingua Franca and Bella Freud are a few of my favorite designers for graphic knits, but they aren't the most budget-friendly. But when I saw this $50 version at LOFT, I knew I couldn't pass it up. Oh and it's now 50% off with code SPRING making it $25. Seriously, what a good find. ...
