I’m starting to eye a few pieces that I think would make lovely additions to my pre-fall August wardrobe. I’m mostly looking for ways to update my workwear, but I still like to have fun with it like with these platform wedge sandals. The beauty of this edit is that everything (with the exception of […]
Not that I need another shoe obsession, but I do love when something has a little bit of nostalgia for me, and that is the huarache sandal. When I was a kid, I remember my mom having a few pairs. She would wear them all summer and with everything. She had white, tan, and even […]
With summer winding down and school starting soon, I usually get in the mood to refresh my closet. I used to work in education and always got excited to go “back-to-school” shopping, even though I’m an adult. Seriously though, did you ever do that with your mom? We would hit a few stores and stock […]
Well, well, well…another blogger touting the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Shocking, I know! BUT, I’m not going to inundate you with post after post after post of my favorite pieces. Instead, today’s post has a big roundup of my favorites from the sale, including clothing for work and play, a few beauty faves, and of course […]
We are home from Scandinavia now and aside from swimming in loads of laundry things are pretty much back to normal. Hopefully you followed along on Instagram, because you may have noticed that last week I didn’t publish to the blog. Sometimes the balance of working full time and running my blog weighs heavily more […]
A roundup of outfits on Instagram from Cathedrals & Cafés!
Before ruffle shorts, I had always considered shorts to be more of a need than a want. I don’t desire to shop for shorts like I do shoes or dresses or bags or…well, anything else in my closet actually. They’re just not that exciting. For me, shorts have just been the piece you throw on […]
July 4th was always one of my favorite holidays as a kid. It’s still really fun as an adult, even though we’ve celebrated in another country for the last decade. Our summer vacation always seems to fall over the holiday. But I do love the idea of barbeques and fireworks. How do you celebrate our […]
I’ve been a little MIA on here this week, but if you’ve been following me on Instagram then you know I’ve been enjoying New Mexico! Sometimes you just need to unplug for a bit. But I’m back from a wonderful time relaxing and reflecting in Santa Fe and Taos. The Land of Enchantment did not […]
As soon as May gets here I feel like I’m already in summer mode. We spent a relaxing Memorial Day weekend at home. Sometimes it’s nice to be home bodies. We slept in, made some great food, snuggled with our puppy, and sipped wine late into the evening. Friday night we had a little shrimp […]
As someone who has spent most of her life wearing simple stud earrings, I’m surprising myself at all the statement earrings I’m suddenly into. But hey, what’s the fun in always doing the same thing? And as they say, a woman can always change her mind. You may have seen these Plunder earrings on my […]
If April showers bring May flowers then I’m certainly ready for next month with this garden party edit. Unfortunately, I do not have a green thumb and have killed my fair share of plants. But one thing I have no trouble with for some unexplained reason are roses, and right now they are putting out […]
One of the big questions I get often is, How do you balance blogging and working a full time a job? Well, I might not always have it together where that’s concerned but one thing that does help is having an organized bag of essentials that help me bounce from office to blog and back […]
It feels like I just posted my last Friday favorites list and here we are at Friday again. Happy Friday the 13th! Does that date weird you out? I’ve never really paid much attention to it. The weather this week has been simply amazing. Spring in Texas is my favorite time of year where all […]
Ah, the Texas Tuxedo. Go ahead, Google it. I’ll wait. Now that you’ve had your laughs, there are ways to pull off the denim-on-denim trend without reincarnating that infamous Justin and Britney coordinated look. You know the one. Well fear not, blue jean babes. Thankfully, there are many ways to wear your favorite denim pieces […]
TGIF, everyone! I’m thinking about bringing back my Friday Favorites series starting today. There’s just too much goodness out there not to share with you! I also like sharing my photography, and being that summer feels closer and closer, I’ve been looking at my favorite pics from our trip to the South of France. This […]
It’s a little hard for me to believe that March is basically over. Is it just me, or did it go by even faster than February, a month that is shorter by a whole 3 days? That being said, I’m pretty excited to be going into Easter weekend! We are spending a couple of days […]
So many spring trends, so little time! However, I have no problem jumping onto the jumpsuit trend this year. My style changes almost daily depending on my mood. But I have always appreciated vintage or retro trends that find their way back onto the magazine pages with the same fervor they once did, albeit updated. […]
Hi, friends! Spring break is winding down but spring is definitely here. All of a sudden the grass has become greener and our trees and plants seemingly bloomed overnight. I love seeing things come back to life like that, don’t you? We had a fun weekend with friends attending a local supper club (more on […]
Even though we lose an hour of sleep for one night, I really like having longer days where the sun doesn’t disappear quite so soon. I have really been indulging in the gorgeous spring weather we’ve had lately here in San Antonio. Chilly mornings give way to beautiful blue skied afternoons and comfortable temps (Texas […]
