Whites, Denim, & Summer Basics

OUTFITS
Summer is rapidly approaching and one of my favorite things to wear is a black tee with white pants or shorts with turquoise jewelry. I traveled west many times growing up because my grandparents had a house in Arizona and it was the perfect place to visit in the winter and spring. There are TONS of different turquoise jewelry in the southwest and over the years, I’ve received some great pieces from my mom and grandmother. If you ever visit Sedona,...

Summer Goals

LIFE
Monday Monday… oh how these weekends do pass fast! I am in awe that this is the last full week of school before summer begins. I’m working summer school this year. It actually kind of makes me laugh when I think about it because I work with toddlers and the idea of them attending summer school just sounds funny. But totally understandable! Why wouldn’t parents want their kiddos to keep learning in the summer? Summer session is solely in...

Rotisserie Chicken & Pear Salad

RECIPES
We were at a friend’s house recently and they served their kids rotisserie chicken. She bought it, pulled it apart, and threw it into tupperware for later use. Why had I forgotten about rotisserie chicken? Eric and I buy Costco brand to freeze, thaw, then cook. Honestly, it never really tastes that good. The chicken breasts are HUGE (maybe not the safest chicken to be eating) and they always turn out kind of bland unless we throw them in...

Mint Halter Print Dress

OUTFITS
You know that feeling when you slip into a dress that not only fits your body perfectly, but the print & style scream YOU over & over again? If you haven’t felt that way, maybe it is time you should. It’s beyond frustrating when you find a print or style you love and one part of it is saggy or too tight and it just doesn’t seem to fit you right. I’ve been there many times. Treat yourself to...

Little White Dress

OUTFITS
It’s nearly summer guys. It’s time to break out those bright & light dresses. I don’t believe in that Labor Day to Memorial Day rule about not wearing white. I live in Austin for goodness sake! I’ll wear white whenever I darn want. Now that spring is in full force (it pretty much feels like summer), I’ve been wearing my favorite white dress. You can never go wrong with a staple white dress as an accessory to your closet....

April Monthly Highlights

LIFE
I hope you had a great weekend! Our friend Matt’s parents stayed with us and we ate at a neat restaurant called Mongers and spent much of the weekend outside. They golfed while I brunched with girlfriends and we all reconnected for a wonderful home-cooked seafood dinner Saturday night. I can’t stop thinking about those crabcakes! Today I’m sharing our monthly highlights from April. Besides a fun trip to Chicago, we spent most of April with each other and the pups,...

Thursday Under $30

Collages
Today I’m sharing some cute finds that are all under $30! I love finding a great deal. I remember about 8 years ago buying knock off Steve Madden sandals at Nordstrom for $15 a pop and having them last years. Plus they were even more comfortable than the real pair (I know this because I bought the real thing first and then found the knockoffs later).  They came in different colors and were SO cute. I was sad when...

Home Office Inspiration

OUR HOME
Right now, I currently work on my blog from home on our desktop computer (mac mini with 2 window screens). It’s very useful, but I do not own a laptop and it can be hard when I want to be mobile. I usually borrow Eric’s laptop, but it’s not always available. Someday I’m going to buy my own! But it is expensive and not a priority right now. And I don’t mind working from home at all! I do most...

Distressed Denim

OUTFITS
I wonder how soon we’re going to look back in fashion and ask ourselves why we bought jeans with holes in them. I say when instead of if, because I know it is going to happen. I think that’s why advertisers describe their product as distressed denim versus ripped jeans: the idea of buying something damaged and paying good money for it sounds plainly stupid. However, millenials everywhere are wearing these jeans. Distressed denim is so IN right now and gives your outfit...
