Happy Friday, friends! Easter is only a few weeks away and today, I wanted to share this adorable dress option from Draper James. This Cortland Printed Lace Dress immediately caught my eye and I knew it would be a great option to wear on Easter Sunday.

A Girls Trip to Denver
Over Spring Break, a few of my favorite teachers and I went to Denver for a little girls trip. We had so much fun laughing, catching up and sharing stories from when we all worked together. Those kinds of trips are not only fun, but good for the soul am I right? ...
Accounting for Bloggers
Hi guys. Austin here for another guest post. This post is for the fellow bloggers. Tax season is upon us, so today, we are talking about accounting for bloggers. Because who doesn't love accounting?
The Teacher Diva started out as a fun personal project. But before long, it became a side-business. Today, it's Ashley's full-time job. If you treat your blog like a business, you need to be serious about your accounting. Let's dive in! ...
The Essential Black Dress
A simple black shirtdress (I also love this one) is one of my favorite things to wear during the spring or summer. It's an easy option to throw on with flat sandals or pair with a chic pump for date night. I found this dress in New York when I was there for Fashion Week and have been anxious to wear it once the weather warmed up. ...
Spring Outfits For Him + Her
When shopping for the perfect outfit, we hate to compromise between style, comfort, and versatility. You find that soft, comfortable top but it doesn't fit right. Or, maybe you have that beloved, trendy jacket but you can't stand to leave on for more than 15 minutes. We've all been there. Between Austin and I, we shop a lot of brands. And from what we can tell, few companies get both style, comfort and versatility right. If you're looking to invest into an outfit that makes you feel and look great, your best bet is Banana Republic. They have created a new collection specifically designed to be not only versatile but also quite comfortable. When that favorite piece of clothing checks all these boxes, it's worth every penny. Today, Austin and I are sharing how we style some key pieces for Spring and some insight on their new campaign, "What Moves You". ...
A Spring Dress + Denim Jacket
If there's one thing that makes me think spring , it's floral prints & colorful dresses. And with the nice weather we've been having in Dallas, it's easy to see why this floral midi dress is at the top of my list. It's feminine and romantic detailing are giving me all the heart eyes. ...
Black Off The Shoulder Blouse
An off the shoulder top is a closet essential during these upcoming months. And based on the recent trend reports and upcoming collections from our favorite designers, it seems that this off the shoulder craze is not going anywhere. I've definitely taken part in this fashion trend, but I love the look of a simple, black off the shoulder blouse. This blouse is prefect for a casual setting with your favorite jeans and sandals. Or, you can opt to dress it up with your favorite black pants, strappy heels and statement earrings. And while it may look like your basic off the shoulder top, the ruffle details around the neck make this a showstopper. ...
A Trendy Travel Guide to Los Angeles
A few weeks ago Austin and I traveled to LA. It seems like we have been there a lot these past few months. Having family in the area and the occasional work project, it makes for a fun trip no matter what. After sharing our Weekend Guide in LA, we wanted to share something a little more in depth with more options than the small list we provided here. ...
Girl on a Budget: Beach Cover Ups under $50
Every year, I always look forward to Summer. And after our recent trip to California, we had a nice preview of warmer weather. We've been gearing up our summer content here at The Teacher Diva and after sharing my recent collaboration with LOFT, you guys have made it clear you like swimwear & cover ups just as much as I do. One big request was a budget friendly guide to cover ups under $50. Cover ups might be my favorite thing to buy when it comes to resort wear. Here are a few of my go-to picks this season all under $50: ...
In My Travel Makeup Bag
Packing for an upcoming trip or weekend getaway can sometimes be a daunting task. Particularly, when it comes to beauty products. If you're like me, you don't want to over pack. Especially, if you're trying to fit everything in a carryon. With all the traveling we've been doing this past month, I've had several questions about my travel beauty routine and products that I was featuring on snapchat or instastories. Here are the products I've been traveling with lately: ...
