I've told you all that I have been updating our home and doing a little re-decorating. I'm still wanting to get around and do a full post on our home, but this will have to do for now. With that being said, I have become addicted to coffee table books. These colorful ones caught my eye and are the perfect addition in our living room. These books not only keep me entertained and provide endless inspiration, but it makes me so happy to see stacks of them throughout our home. I also added my trust worthy Calf Hair iPhone Case, Heart Statement Necklace, and leather Blair Ritchey Pencil Pouch. This python pouch is my new favorite bag to hold my everyday essentials. You know, pink lipgloss, Chapstick, and of course Tylenol. For more pretty things see my guide below! XX
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! ...
In My Beach Bag
It's been a while since I've done a "What's In My Bag" post so it was only fitting that I did one for the beach divas out there. While in Jamaica, I seemed to have "a lot" of essentials. My husband told me it wasn't practical to tote around all my stuff so I had to limit myself to the necessities. I took along my trusty One Truffle, No. 1 Clarity Pouch, because it's plastic canvas is ideal for beach conditions. If it gets wet, no big deal! These are a few life savors when it comes to a day in the sun. What are your beach necessities?

The Clutch
Recently I was introduced to this amazing designer Blair Ritchey, who makes all types of leather goodness.
I was instantly hooked on her Lulu Fold Over Clutch and had to add it to my closet. The hardest part was choosing a color because well, they are all fabulous! {my next purchase will be in snake}
This little beauty is perfect for a night out or running errands.
These are just some of my favorite things that I store in my clutch on a daily basis.
enjoy!!
1- Blair Ritchey Lulu Foldover Clutch in Cobalt (you can see it worn here)
2. Maybooks Planner...love using this! Keeps me {semi} organized.
3. Sugar Lipbalm in Rose (always a favorite of mine...makes my lips super soft with a hint of color)

In My Teacher Bag
I'm a huge sucker for "What's in my Bag" posts and blogs, so it probably isn't a surprise that this isn't my first rodeo.
I just love learning about new products.
With that said, I decided to make this one "back-to-school" friendly.
I guess you could just say that school is on the brain and lets face it, I LOVE to shop for office supplies.
Here are some of my go to items...and some I wish I had.
Enjoy!
These two beauties are ready for some serious baggage.
Holds everything + easy to clean = teacher approved
one {this was made by yours truly...the one crafty thing I've been able to successfully do. yeah!}

In exactly
one week
me...the husband... his parents...and 2 sisters will pack our bags and head to the beach.
We are so excited to get our toes in that Florida sand.
In the midst of writing my lists of what to pack for a week of R&R, I thought I would share with you my list of beach essentials!
Enjoy!
1. Australian Gold SPF 30 and Bronzer- I love this because it's not greesy and it acts as an SPF and leaves a nice waterproof tint.
2. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 70- My all time FAVORITE face sunscreen. Seriously goes on dry and sheer. I have pretty sensitive skin and this works great.
3. Sugar Tinted Lip Balm In Rose SPF 15- This is a great lip balm that gives you a little SPF & a little color. A MUST HAVE!
4. Evian Misting Spray- This acts as a perfect refresher while in the sun. Yes, Yes it't just H20 in a fancy package but it really does work! I love this stuff...doesn't smear makeup either.
5. Fashion & Celeb Magazines...duh!
6. Tory Burch Flip Flops- My favorite summer flip flops. Not to mention they are made well and ...
