Relaxation 101

Relaxation 101

Ahh relaxation. How do you get away from it all? Is it diving into a good book...watching the latest episode of KUWTK? For me relaxing means many different things. While I don't have children of my own, the ones I teach keep me pretty busy. I love it but I often find myself just going and going and have to sit back and just breathe. Do ya'll ever feel that way? When a trip to the beach doesn't play out, these are a few things that keep me cool while balancing a full time job, blog and a sweet husband. He's the most work out of the three you know. Ha! ...

Neutral leather

Neutral leather

  Finding the right jacket for Fall can almost be as hard as finding the right pair of jeans. Piace Boutique made that experience for me so easy and thanks to them, this Kaia Moto Jacket is my new best friend.  It's buttery soft vegan leather is one of a kind and the color is so easy to wear. Moto jackets are one of my favorite looks of the season because you can easily dress them up or wear with a v-neck for a more casual sophisticated look. P.S- Piace Boutique is offering a special discount to those who like their facebook page! Visit their website for more details! ...

Gold Rush

Gold Rush

How charming are these gold pieces from GroopDealz? You can score all of these today on the GroopDealz site today but act fast because these are known to sell out quick! I still have yet to get a monogrammed necklace, a little late I know. This may be the push I needed to jump on the monogram train! They are only $38.50! I also am a big fan of these number rings. Visit the GroopDealz site to see all the dealz for today! ...

A Tan Vest

A Tan Vest

J Crew has the best selection of vests. I picked this up at the Style Sessions a few weeks ago and I have been anxiously awaiting cooler temps. It is so soft and feminine and not like your typical "puffer" vests. I have to be careful with those because let's be honest, I don't want any extra "puff" going on. Who does? This vest isn't bulky and still shows a silhouette. I paired it with this black and white grid blouse. This blouse has seriously come in handy...obviously, I have been wearing it on repeat like crazy. It is such a great layering piece for a fitted blazer or this J Crew Excursion Quilted Vest. I plan on pairing this vest with this plaid shirt or this blouse. It makes for a perfect casual glam look ...

Dallas to Austin

Dallas to Austin

 one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine // ten To Austin we go and I couldn't be more excited for a 3 day weekend. Yes, I know it's already Thursday but the countdown is on. I have lived in Dallas pretty much my whole life and I have never been to Austin before! Everyone has looked at me like I am crazy so I'm not offended if you're a fellow Texan thinking the same thing. I have heard great things so I am already excited about the trip. Please feel free to leave a comment below with some local favorites in Austin. We leave Friday so if you have any suggestions...please let me know! Thanks for reading, xo! ...

On the Grid

On the Grid

I am a hat freak. I just love them! My husband isn't a big fan, but I find hats can make the perfect accessory and help out when your not having a great hair day (or just feeling lazy).  I found this hat at Gap and knew it would be a great piece to have for fall/winter. But don't let these pictures fool you, it's pretty warm in Dallas these days.  But when it cools down, this hat will come out to play quite often.  ...

Me Time

Me Time

In this fast paced world we live in, it's important to set time out and enjoy some me time.  It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day hustle that we often forget to sit back and relax.  It's not easy for me to unplug and reflect, but I make the time. Whether that's framing an old wedding picture or painting my nails with a new shade for fall, it's the little things that inspire me and keep me calm and collected. Fresh flowers are also easy on the eyes. I'm telling you, just the aspect of fresh flowers really changes the feeling in my house. I actually want to keep it clean and organized. Ha, maybe they should be a weekly thing? Oh and did I mention my love for chocolate? Not just any chocolate, Lindt LINDOR milk chocolate truffles. These irresistible truffles are a must. I always keep a stash on hand, so don't be surprised if you find one in my purse... true story. Come on, what's a girl to do without her chocolate?  I hope this week you can find time to reflect and enjoy the little things! Have a great week! ...

Meet Roxanne

Meet Roxanne

It's no secret that I love black and white. A few weeks ago when I was "grocery shopping" at Target (y'all do that too right?) I stumbled upon this beauty of a dress! Like I couldn't believe it was a Target find. The material feels nice and it isn't sheer. Major plus. I knew the Roxanne Chain Necklace from Shop Simply Lush was the perfect thing to pair with it.  It gives this girly dress just the right amount of edge. I chose to bring some color to this combo by adding some burgundy pumps and a yellow Goyard. Happy Fall and Happy Hump Day! ...
