Let’s have a quick chat about basics! I love wearing dresses in the summer, but as the season changes to fall (or whenever the temperature decides to go down in Texas) I go back to who I am at my core – a jeans and t-shirt person. Basics are a big part of my closet […]
I am always excited to see the new jewelry designs from James Avery and their new Fall collection does not disappoint! The variety in the collection means there’s something for everyone. As always it’s a great mix of whimsical and cute designs alongside nostalgic and customizable pieces. Today I’m sharing my favorite fall jewelry designs […]
After what feels like ages, I am so thrilled to be taking a little vacation on a road trip to the beach this week! We’ve rented a condo that not only has spectacular beach views but also provides a pool. I plan to divide my time between both while keeping a cocktail in hand at […]
Friday is my absolute favorite day of the week! I always look forward to our little routine of drinks on the patio followed by dinner and a movie. This week’s Fashion + Food + Film features a classic from 1955 called Summertime. Have you seen it? I hadn’t but being that it stars Katharine Hepburn […]
At the end of every month I find myself wondering where the time went. During this age of COVID (ugh…so tired of this) I feel like time is this gelatinous blob keeping me in some sort of suspended animation. Every day I go through the same motions. Literally the exact same motions. Nothing changes, so […]
Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope this post finds you well. As you know, I really enjoy having the opportunity to explore new brands and share them with you. Through my little blog here, I’ve been able to connect with some great companies creating products that enrich our lives. I love working with brands that are […]
I’ve been working with TOMS for a few months on Instagram (check out these posts: TOMS Sandals + TOMS Slip-ons) to help their efforts supporting frontline workers via their COVID-19 Global Giving Fund. TOMS has always been a company focused on giving back, so I was really happy to be working with them on this […]
Happy Friday, everyone! You know what that means? Another edition of Fashion + Food + Film (FFF)! Be sure to check out my first two posts in this new series here. I really enjoy doing these posts on Fridays because they give me all the weekend feels – a fun outfit, delicious food, easy cocktails, […]
This white eyelet dress is the perfect example of a run-don’t-walk shopping scenario. Maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s my need to feel dressed for anything these days, or maybe it’s a return to my love affair with dresses but when I saw this one I knew I wanted it for summer. A comfy white […]
The new summer jewelry collection from James Avery has whimsical pieces that are making me smile for the season. And let’s face it, we need things to smile about these days! Every piece was definitely designed with summer fun in mind. There are pieces that remind me of summer picnics, like the Garden Bouquet Ring […]
So many good Amazon finds, so little time. Like everyone else, I’ve been doing more online shopping and when I find good values, I love to share them! This post is a roundup of my favorite Amazon finds from the month of June. The biggest scores were two summer dresses that I am really pleased […]
I’m excited to be moving forward with volume 2 of my new series, Fashion + Food + Film. To catch you up, be sure to read the premiere post of how this series concept started here! This time, I’m delving into one of my favorite modern films, Midnight in Paris, and reviewing a bit of […]
Today is an exciting day here at Cathedrals & Cafes! I’m launching a new blog series called Fashion + Food + Film, where I’ll be combining my love for clothes, a good meal, and a fun movie. We came up with this idea a couple weeks ago, and you could say it’s probably a direct […]
Another month spent staying at home meant another month where we binged a lot of movies and shows. Check out everything we binged in April here! I don’t really like calling our situation a quarantine, because technically that’s not what it is. But that seems to be the standard term these days for staying at […]
Last summer I really got more into wearing a hair scarf. Being able to just sweep your hair up fast and still look put together was really important to me, especially as we spent five days on a sailboat in Croatia with limited space. It was also pretty hot, so wearing my hair up was […]
There are some amazing sales going on for Memorial Day, so I thought I’d save you all the time spent hunting, and round them up for you in one place to shop. I’ve organized all the Memorial Day sales alphabetically by Clothing & Accessories, Beauty, and Home & Home Decor. Plus, I’ve listed everything that […]
There are two things I always buy for every summer season – new swimsuits and new sunglasses. A new pair of sunnies is almost like a new pair of shoes to me. They completely transform an outfit and can make a well-loved wardrobe feel fresh and new again. I was invited to check out the […]
Scrolling through Instagram the other day, I realized that I have never actually done a post on my favorite accessory – the handbag! I get more comments and questions about my bags and shoes on social media than anything else, which makes sense because that’s where I spend most of my money. To me, they’re […]
Hi, friends! I hope you all are well and managing things as best as possible. I’m back today talking about Mother’s Day. Holidays like this loom large in my heart these days because I can’t be with my family, and all I want is to be with them. You’ve probably seen my Elegant Mother’s Day […]
As we enter into our seventh full week of self-isolation and working from home due to Covid-19, my list of things I’m looking forward to after quarantine keeps growing. Having things to look forward to has always been a bit of a coping mechanism for me. When I was a child, any time I was […]
