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
The Perfect Shirt Dress
TGIF! I always get excited when I find something that will quickly become a staple in my closet (and happens to be under $100) . This shirt dress is one of them (see below for sizing). This is an easy look that be worn casually with flats, like these Tory Burch Espadrilles (budget friendly version here) or with a cute pair of wedges or sandals. I wanted to keep this low key so I threw on my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mab Tote and a fun panama hat and called it a day. This was a fun look for brunch last Saturday and will definitely be coming with me on our trip to Napa next month!
Have you guys shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet? If so I would love to know what you bought! You can see my picks from yesterday here and I also added more below.
I purchased this watch, I passed on it last year and have been regretting it since. Couldn't let it go again! I also bought these pink ...
Boho Vibes
Happy Wednesday everyone! I have been looking forward to today for the past few weeks because my team from school and I are meeting up for dinner. It's the little things, but I love my co workers and I can't wait to spend some time with them!
I wanted to share a look from last weekend. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites! This Geo Print Tunic immediately caught my eye for many reasons. One, I don't own anything like it. Typically, I tend to buy more "classic" pieces, but I couldn't help but love the fun print and colors on this top. I also wore it with white pants and it looked so soft and summery.
Don't forget the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow for those who have the Nordstrom credit or debit card. This is my favorite sale of the year! Be sure to stop by tomorrow as I will have my favorites posted early in the AM. I will be doing a 5 part guide this year and I am excited to share designer finds, beauty finds (my favorite!) and of course things for you and him. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by! xx
Summer Makeup Routine
After posting this picture to my instagram account, it was clear that many of you have been looking for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or are interested in a good summer makeup routine. Like most of you, I tend to lay off the heavy makeup during the summer months. Don't get me wrong, I wear it, just a lighter version than normal and it's usually packed with high SPF.
These are the products you will find in my makeup bag. Unless it's date night or a special occasion, I like to keep it easy and quick. A lightweight tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, mascara and a few other products seem to do the trick during the summer months.
Side note: for those who are trying to grow out your brows, I have been using Castor Oil for the past month and a half and I have seen a huge difference. It took some patience, but recently, I have been noticing more "fullness" to my brows. Highly recommend!
.01 Kiehl's Tinted BB Cream: I stumbled upon this product after researching tinted moisturizers for our summer and our upcoming trips. I didn't want to wear makeup to the beach, but I did want something with a little tint and a high SPF. When I got this in the mail, I immediately tried it and realized that it could be used more ...
