Now that Summer is officially here, it's time to make some changes in our beauty routine. This time each year, I always find myself going a shade darker in my foundation, loading on the SPF and testing out my new favorite self tanners. I've rounded up a few of my favorite makeup & haircare products that seem to get the job done during these Summer months. Most of these are on sale too! Here's a few worth mentioning: ...

Exploring Florence
You may have noticed, I have a thing for this denim jacket. I've worn it numerous times throughout Spring and I'm not quite ready to pack it up for Summer. You may remember this look from our trip to Florence. This jacket was the most worn piece out of my suitcase! It was very easy to clean and I loved to wear it with any sundress. ...
Things to do in Florence
As many of you know, my husband and I traveled to Florence a few weeks ago. It was my first time to Italy, but Austin studied there during a semester in college. We were so excited to get to see Italy and experience this city together!
As promised, here is a little travel guide sharing a few details from our trip and our recommendations. ...
The Not-So-Basic White Blouse
Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. You guys know I am a sucker for neutrals and can't pass up a good white blouse. This poncho style Lace Blouse is so fun and feminine for Summer. I love the style (not sheer) and the length is perfect for jeans or shorts. I'm thinking this could be a fun option with denim shorts and navy flats for the 4th of July. ...
Beauty Talk: Natural Skincare (and giveaway!)
When it comes to skin care, I love to stay on top of the trends. After spending several Summer's working at our local beauty salon & spa, I attended many workshops and classes over product awareness, ingredients and skincare trends. Though I am no longer working at the salon, I still enjoy educating myself on the latest in beauty and thoroughly enjoy researching products. Does this make me a beauty junkie? ...
Striped Maxi Cardigan
Happy Friday! I am currently working from our patio with my little helper Lucy (I say that as she currently tries to chew on my shoelaces). The weather has been so nice in Dallas and we are trying to enjoy it as much as possible before it gets too hot! I wanted to share this causal look from last week with you. If you've followed for a while, you know how much I love cardigans. ...
Trend Alert: Summer Lace Up Sandals
While I don't consider myself to be "trendy", I do like to dabble in a few trends here and there. My closet typically consists of basics, solids and layering pieces making it easy to incorporate statement accessories. One of my absolute favorite trends is the lace up shoes. You've seen me sport them several times on here and on instagram, but they really are incredibly versatile. Whether you go heels or flats, either style can be worn with so many pieces you already own in your closet. ...
Things to Do In Paris
Earlier this month, Austin and I set off for a 3 week European vacation. This was a trip we have been planning for over several months and we were very specific with the places we wanted to go and see. While we were away, many of you asked questions regarding our trip. I wanted to answer some of the questions in this post and share with you some of our favorite spots in Paris. ...
Blazer & Lace Trim Shorts
It's no secret I love a good blazer. I typically incorporate one into my weekday and love to pair them with Boyfriend Jeans and a good pair of Heels for date night. I recently found this Pink and Navy Trim Blazer at Topshop while we were in London and could not pass it up. ...
Poolside in Positano
With summer just around the corner, I wanted to share a resort inspired look from our recent trip to Positano, Italy. If you're like me, you're probably already searching the stores for new swimwear or coverups. I really liked this Halter One Piece Swimsuit and Fringe Kimono Coverup from our day by the pool at Le Sirenuse. ...
