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 […]
Like the rest of the world, we’ve been looking for ways to have fun while still following all the social distancing guidelines. I miss a lot of the things we used to do before COVID, so I’ve been looking for ways to have those experiences again right now. Things that give us a little date […]
Stop the presses! It’s a travel post! I know, I know…it seems like these posts are a thing of the past. Not true, my friends. Thanks to something called the good old fashioned road trip, we escaped for a little R&R in our home state of Texas and not surprisingly, it was exactly what we […]
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 […]
This summer I introduced a few new skincare products to my routine and given that I love them, I wanted to give you all a review of my experience. As you know, I only share things I truly love and right now (especially during summer) I am loving the line of rose skincare products from […]
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 […]
I’m still hooked on good ol’ thrillers this month. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve been reading as many thrillers as I can get my hands on these days. I think it’s partly due to the fact that everyday is pretty much the same, and I need that feeling of something exciting […]
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 […]
If you don’t get dressed up and read in your bathtub, are you even living? LOL After taking a bit of a break, I went on a little reading streak in June. I spend a lot of time pouring through recommended reading lists, and very rarely come across one I don’t enjoy and wouldn’t recommend. […]
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 […]
Surprise, surprise…another month in quarantine. Is anyone else feeling like the days are just running together? Finding things to differentiate our time has been a bit of a challenge. When I started these binge-watching posts (checkout our April and May movie lists), I didn’t think I would still be referring to these as “quarantine movies” […]
Summer time is such a fun time to be a dog mom! Well, it’s always a fun time to be a dog mom, but summer just feels more special than other times throughout the year. There’s always something fun to do! Our girls live inside with us, so I always look for ways to get […]
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 […]
While wine rules most evenings in our house, once summer arrives I’m ready to start sipping something different. I look for easy summer cocktails that elevate an ordinary home patio or (inflatable) pool and transport me, at least mentally, to a relaxing resort oasis. There are a lot of easy summer cocktail recipes out there […]
