Kendra Scott is one of my favorite designers for many reasons. Her down to earth demeanor and her amazing work ethic are just a few to mention. I had a chance to meet Kendra a few months ago (here) and she was truly just as sweet as you would have hoped.
Not only is Kendra super successful, but she also has a huge heart for giving back to the community. In light of tomorrow's Kendra Gives Back event (hope you can make it!) I have pulled some of my favorite spring favorites from her newest collection. These neon stones are so hot right now, but if neon isn't your thing, she has some beautiful neutrals. Either way, you can't go wrong!

Beauty Talk | Think Pink
Beauty Talk is one of my favorite series on The Teacher Diva. While I love the fashion, I also love reviewing beauty and skin care products and giving you all feedback. I guess it stems back to my years working in a beauty salon and constantly working with customers to help them find the best products for their skin and hair. I loved researching and trying everything! It was such a fun job and now I am excited I get to share my favorites with you guys.
A trend that is so hot for Spring this year is pink! While I may not have a ton of pink in my wardrobe, I do have a lot in my makeup bag. I just picked up this YSL Lipstick in color #9 and I can't stop wearing it. It looks a little mauve-y in these pictures, but it really is a great pink. The guy at the makeup counter said "It's the most flattering shade and looks great on all skin tones". Of course that sold me instantly, but when I tried it, I completely agreed! I have also worn it with the YSL Golden Gloss in #49 for a brighter pop of color.
For the nails, I love Zoya Nail Polish in Barbie (wore it when I got engaged so of course it's my favorite!) and ...
Silver Letters
Monogrammed jewelry is something we are seeing everywhere. Whether it's a necklace or ring, it's the hot thing right now. Groopdealz has this silver initial necklace on sale today only. It's a different take on the "script" trend but I love the simple block lettering. I have a gold version similar to this necklace and it is something I never take off. I wear it alone or layer it up with other necklaces...it's a classic! To get yours, check out Groopdealz. You won't regret it.

Shopping Is My Cardio
It's probably not a surprise to you that I like to shop. I mean, what girl doesn't? This shirt caught my eye immediately and I thought it was perfect not only to wear as a cute top with jeans, but also for a work out. I can't really "run run" like my sis in law, Megan.
My newest obsession has been Pure Barre. You may have seen me post about it here. I love it because it's actually something I can do. I've joined gyms in the past and (unfortunately) wasted my money, but this is something I actually look forward to. The class is an hour of intense, small movement exercises focusing on strength and core. Who knew that lifting three pound weights in small one inch lifts could actually do something? Stay tuned for more information on Pure Barre and how you can get involved! Until then, this top is from Jane, I also have some similar options below. XX

Black Hearts
This past weekend we took a little road trip and traveled to Houston for a friends wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and we has such a fun time. Before the wedding, we went over to Rive Village. Austin and I enjoyed walking around the shops and eating at Black Walnut Cafe (ah-mazing food). Thanks to those who gave us suggestions via insta...love hearing from you guys and totally value your opinion!
If you follow me on Instagram, you are probably sick of me posting this shirt, but honestly it's been my favorite purchase recently! I know Equipment blouses aren't cheap, but they are totally worth the investment. Do you own any? I am thinking of adding another one to my wardrobe...probably a neutral. No surprise there. Hope you have a great start to your week! XX

Dallas to Houston
I love a little weekend getaway....even if it is just a few hours away. This weekend my husband and I are driving to Houston for a friends wedding. We are excited because it will be a new change of scenery and we both have never been before. I am looking forward to brunching at Tiny Box Woods (thanks Chelsea for the recommendation!) and doing a little shopping, of course. Whether or not you have big plans this weekend, I hope you relax and enjoy! XX

You’re A Fox
I am a sucker for good packaging. So when it comes to snail mail, I only choose the prettiest and best stationary. After all, who doesn't like receiving pretty mail? When I came across this set of letter press cards, it was love at first sight. So much, that I am almost too scared to write on them for fear I will mess up! (I actually think I may end up framing a few for decoration.) With the gold foil writing and neon pink border, what's not to love?
These cards are currently sold out, but Jane is hoping to bring them back soon. To stay in the loop, be sure to subscribe to jane.com! They have new products daily, so you don't want to miss out! XX

Jeweled Neckline
Dallas is having the most beautiful weather. And while I am eager to have warmer temps, I will be sad to part with some of my winter basics. However, this sweater is one that is the perfect transitional piece. I love the detailed neckline and the looser fit. It's super soft and thin so I can wear it on a "colder" spring day.
Thankfully, my friends at Kiki La Rue not only has this fab sweater, but a great selection of tops and blouses that are perfect for transitioning your wardrobe into warmer weather. Located in Southlake, TX- I am proud to shop local at this fabulous boutique!

Beauty Talk | Skinperfect Primer
There are many great things you can do for your skin. Establishing a solid routine and finding quality products is key. Dermalogica is a skin care brand I have used and trusted for years.
The AGE Smart® line contains advanced ingredients proven to impact the major biochemical reactions that contribute to skin aging before they start, so your skin is left smoother, firmer and healthier (everything I want for my skin!). I've used the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser and knew I would love the Skinperfect Primer just as much. The primer not only keeps my makeup on, but it's actually good for my skin. It has SPF and Soy Protein to help smooth out skin and fine lines. The primer also has a subtle tint from natural minerals that add a little extra coverage to keep my skin looking clear.
This is super easy to use. After applying your moisturizer, smooth and blend over entire face and throat. The Skinperfect primer can be worn alone or underneath make-up to extend wear. Bloom Lash Boutique is my favorite supplier for all things Dermalogica. For more information about Dermalogica products, be sure to contact Amber at Bloom Lash Boutique.
