Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share a few pictures from the Back to School Party with Kendra Scott last week. I had so much fun getting to meet those of you who came out and was very grateful for all the school supplies that were donated. Thank you! xx

1st Grade Classroom Sneak Peek
I've learned something about myself in the 5 years I've been teaching. It is that, no matter how many times I get ready for the first day of school... I'm always nervous. I hate to admit it, but it's true. Butterflies in my stomach, can't sleep the night before- flat out nervous! ...
Wear To Work
I'm a sucker for a silk blouse. It's the most versatile thing I own and in my opinion, something every gal needs to have on hand. Recently I was introduced to Bradamant, a brand that makes silk tops a little differently. You see, this is actually a body suit that I am wearing. You read that right, a body suit! When I first heard about Bradamant, I was totally impressed. Not only is their suit totally practical, but it's so easy to wear. I love not having to worry about shirt lines or wrinkles through out the day.
Many of you ask about my professional wardrobe and this would definitely be a look I would sport to school. It's comfortable and lets me move easily. I would swap the pink pumps for some cute leopard flats.

Back To School Shopping
Hi everyone! I'm sure some of you of getting ready for back to school, and some of you are thinking "thank goodness I'm done with that!". Either way- we can always use some new clothes. These are a few items that particularly stood out to me as casual basics for fall. The scarf is a little bright, but I loved the colors with the navy and tan accents. As always, feel free to email or comment with any questions! Happy Shopping!

On My Desk with Remodo
I have always had a weakness for desk accessories and office supplies. This may not come as a surprise considering I am a teacher, but I actually get excited to buy new pens and don't even get me started on a new notepad. I recently was introduced to Remodo, an online interior design company dedicated to young adults and anyone who likes cute home goodies. Started in August 2013 by sisters Amanda and Whitney Fox, the site provides fresh, stylish options for all your home and office needs. I couldn't resist this leopard lucite tray and this blue "notes" pad...too cute!

BaubleBar X Pantene
If there's one thing you can count on in Texas, it's the extreme heat (ok and the humidity). Two things that do not pair well with hair. Due to the unfortunate heat, I've been really inspired to find pretty hairstyles that help minimize frizz and are relatively low maintenance.
I was super excited to try out the new Pantene Stylers Collection. I have a weakness for hair products (you guys know this) so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Blow Out Extend Dry Shampoo and Flexible Hold Hair Spray. I used these products to create three different hairstyles to help beat the heat. To top it off, I styled each look with some BaubleBar jewelry to add a little sparkle.

Grey Neutrals
Equipment has grown to be one of my go to brands for silk basics. I've always heard people rave about The Slim Signature Silk Blouse and I had no idea how good it was until I tried it on my own. The price tag can be a little daunting but once you see for yourself you will quickly realize how great they are. The fit and quality are just a couple reasons why I choose Equipment as my silk blouse of choice.
I picked this fun print up at St. Bernard Sports last week. I loved the print and knew the color would transition well into Fall. I wore it with some white pants to keep the look light and summery but I plan to switch out the white and pair this blouse with some black denim and Tory flats for Fall.

Crochet Details
I've always appreciated a Summery top, especially when it involves crochet detailing. There's just something about lacy tunic that makes me think of Summer. I wore this this little crochet top last week to dinner and it was the perfect solution to these hot temperatures we've been having in Dallas. I am all about light and airy fabrics when its 100 outside! I kept the jewelry pretty minimal and just layered a few Gorjana necklaces and added a pop with this painted bangle by Stacy Brown Designs.
