Is it Friday yet? Austin and I are currently packing up for a weekend at the rewardStyle conference. The festivities start this afternoon, and we are getting excited to get to see everyone. Like any work conference, rSthecon is always a great way to get motivated and "reset". No matter what your job or career, we all have those slumps or "ruts". In the past, I've found this conference to be motivating, inspiring and a great learning experience. It's the perfect jumpstart for gearing up for a busy summer season. Not to mention, it's pretty fun! Austin and I are looking forward to setting some goals, meeting with new brands and being surrounded by some of the most creative people in Dallas. ...
White Embroidered Dress
There's nothing like a white dress to get you ready for spring. I loved wearing this White Embroidered Dress (now on sale with code BIGEVENT16) during our trip to Cabo San Lucas.
It was light and airy and perfect for the warmer weather. I have to mention, I love that this dress is fully lined. So often white clothing can be sheer or too thin, and this was the perfect balance. It even came with a removable slip! I wore this dress when we ate at Manta. I can't wait to wear this throughout the Summer!
On another note, if you are a new blogger (or aspiring blogger!) in the Dallas area, I want to invite you to join me at the Go!Forth Workshop on March 23rd from 6:00-8:00 PM. This event will be held at Lion & Witch (a favorite Dallas boutique) and I will be speaking and sharing tips on how to grow your brand and make the most out of your social media. I will also be answering Q & A's during the evening! Seating is limited so you will need to

Crochet Lace
White is an essential all year long, but especially during Summer. This little top (under $35) could not be more perfect for warmer weather and the crochet details make it so pretty and feminine. I felt like I needed some color so I added these earrings for a pop of color and threw on some light denim.
This was an easy look for our date night on Saturday and my Gigi New York Tote (15% off with code FRIENDS15) is always the perfect tote for running around. This whole look will be worn on repeat this summer!

Gingham Tunic
As we start to transition into Summer, I find myself reaching for more and more of my printed tops and dresses. This Gingham Tunic has been calling my name and I have been looking forward to wearing it. To be honest, this is the first gingham piece that I own, but now I can see why it's such a summer time favorite. I've already worn it twice and have plans to wear it this weekend as well!

A lot of you have been asking about my school year and how many more days of school we have. Well, my year has been great (my class is awesome!) but I am definitely looking forward to summer! We have only 11 more days left! Isn't that crazy? I think every teacher is counting down the days, but we I am still enjoying this precious time with my sweet class!
Have a great day! xx

Crochet Blouse
This past weekend it has been nothing but storms in Dallas. All of us here in North Texas are definitely ready for the sunshine!
This breezy top (under $40) has summer written all over it and I can't wait to wear this out and about in my go to denim shorts (seen here, be sure to size down). I've said this before, but I love white for summer. It's clean and simple look always puts off a classic vibe.
The crochet details around the neck and shoulders really make this look pop and I love the flowy fit. It's the perfect top for summer!

Blue & Orange Tunic
Happy almost Friday! We have guests coming in tonight for a weekend wedding and I am looking forward to spending time with friends from college. I've always enjoyed weddings and this one will be no exception. I am so excited for your Renit & Ryan!
Last week, I wore this orange and blue tunic (less than $20) since the weather was much warmer. I love the bright colors and fun pattern! It is the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. It's long enough to where it could be a beach coverup or worn as a top. It's a great piece to have without breaking the bank and definitely a great find for the upcoming season!
Thanks for reading! xx

Gigi New York Spring Collection
Today I am thrilled to be partnering with Gigi New York to launch their new Teddie Tote for Spring. I have admired Gigi New York and their handmade leather handbags for a while now so it was a huge honor for them to even consider me for their Spring launch.
You guys have seen me sport last season's version and I am even more excited about the new and improved Teddie Tote. As a teacher, this really is my "it" bag. I take it with me to work everyday. It's the perfect size to hold papers and lesson plans, while still leaving room for the fun stuff like my makeup bag and wallet.
The hardest part for me was choosing a color. The spring colors are all so gorgeous! I stepped out of my comfort zone a little and went with a pop of color. The Island Green is the perfect color to step up any simple outfit. I loved pairing it with this Camel Cardigan and Boyfriend Jeans. The green looks so pretty against the neutral tones!

In My Bag | Gigi New York
As I've mentioned before, these are my absolute favorite posts. Not just to put together, but I always love hearing what people carry in their bags. I guess you could say I am always on the lookout for new "purse size" goodies to try out.
I switch bags about 4 times during the week, so in between the mess of receipts and gum wrappers, I thought I'd share with you guys the things I carry around on a daily basis.
1. Gigi New York Teddie Tote in Sand- This leather carry all is a life savor. It's the perfect companion to take with me to school each day and a great weekend tote. It hold all my stuff without feeling weighed down.
2. Gigi New York All In One Clutch- This clutch is my favorite multitasker. Not only does it make a great makeup bag but it also is a pretty chic clutch. I just love that tassel!
3. Tieks Ballet Flats in Light Pink- Now that my husband and I moved, we are within walking distance to some of our favorite restaurants. These little guys make it easy when I want to swap the heels for some flats. I also keep these on hand when I want to be comfortable while teaching. They make my feet feel so good.
4. If I Do Say So Myself, Kate Spade Notebook- I'm always one for having cute stationary and paper goods.
