Since starting my blog seven years ago (whoa!), I have always loved working with small shops and helping them grow. I have experienced so much support and growth with my blog that I feel a strong desire to give back and share businesses I love with my readers!So I'm starting a series on my blog featuring Q&As with women and mothers that run ...
Pleated Dress + Vest
Happy Tuesday! I posted about this dress a couple of weeks ago (here) and mentioned how versatile it is. I paired it with a military vest for this look which I thought was a fun way to transition it into fall. I also think it would work just as well with flats (these are my fave) or even converse sneakers for a trip to the farmer's market or a ...
Two Tops You Need for the Office!
I purchased this sheer mini pleat top a couple of months ago in both green and black and I wear at least one of the colors once a week. It has become a favorite as it pairs so well with my slim dress pants and both the sleeves and hemline are feminine and flouncy! It's sold out in green, but it's in-stock and on sale in black (which is the one I ...
Navy Eyelet Top
I typically feel that eyelet is a spring and summer style, however, if you live in the South like I do, our fall is still pretty hot. So while the rest of the country is starting to wear boots, jackets and scarves, we're left in limbo because many days, it's still 80 degrees out. I recently purchased this navy eyelet top and I love it as a ...
Labor Day Sales & My Picks
While our family will be spending the day at the pool today, I will most definitely be shopping some of the online Labor Day sales while the kids are (hopefully) napping from a day in the sun (I can dream, right?) Here are some of my favorite picks from retailers I love and shop at most frequently! These include items I have purchased myself as ...
Getting Creative with Fujifilm’s INSTAX Camera
It's safe to say I'm obsessed with taking photos, especially of my kids. When I was growing up, my mom took a ton of photos and had them printed and we have a massive collection of albums from my childhood and teen years. I treasure being able to have something tangible to freeze those memories in time, and every time my mom visits us here, ...
The Perfect ($19) Striped Top You Need for Fall!
Every time I find an item I really love, I get so sad when it sells out. Such was the situation when this striped top became available. I feel like me and every other blogger bought it the week it came out. It's such a staple--- perfect for fall layering and goes with everything from jeans, dress pants, tucked into skirts, under a military style ...
My Updated Foundation & Full Makeup Routine
makeup for ever HD microfinish powder | MAC 150 brush | Mary Kay foundation brush (this Sigma F60 foundation brush is a great one) | It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush #7 | Sigma F68 concealer brush | It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream in fair and light | MAC studio finish concealer (my shade is NC20) | NARS ...
The Best Fall Blanket Scarf
So it's still 90 degrees here on the regular, but this scarf sold out last Fall super quickly, so this is a heads-up that it's back in stock if you missed out last year. They're not kidding when they describe it as a blanket scarf--- it's huge. I love that it doubles as a blanket when I'm freezing cold at work. In Houston's fall/winter climate, ...
The Best Work Pants
This is a post I have wanted to write for a while but I stalled because I was looking for another option for slim-fitting dress pants at a different price point that I felt were similar enough to my beloved Banana Republic Sloan pants that have been my go-to office pants for years. Now, a note on the Sloan pants. Incomprehensibly, Banana Republic ...
