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 […]
With the recent addition of our Peloton, I needed to find a way to corral all of our spin accessories. You don’t need a dedicated room to create a spin station. Even the smallest spaces will work, if you find the right storage solutions. I had mats and stretching bands in one room of the […]
After spending a full weekend at Churchill Downs, I had to split the experience into two posts. Be sure to read my Kentucky Derby Experience: Part 1, which detailed our day at the track culminating in The Kentucky Oaks race. Today’s post is all about the main event – Derby Day! As most great days […]
And they’re off! That’s what I was thinking as we boarding a plane on our way to Louisville for the 144th running of The Kentucky Derby. A little over a thousand miles and what felt like a thousand mint juleps later, I finally knew what it was like to behold those iconic twin spires and […]
When a friend of ours invited us to a supper club, we really had no idea what to expect. Do we need some kind of membership card? Is it held in some super secret location? What and when exactly is ‘supper’? And most importantly, will there be wine? The answers to these first-timer questions are […]
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Have you shopped for mom yet? If you’re like me and the thought of another scented candle or flowers just doesn’t show enough appreciation, then this little list is for you. The older I’ve become the more I just want to spend time with my mom. Creating a […]
It has been a WEEK! Every Friday I get out my biggest coffee mug and reward myself for completing another 5 days and still be standing. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but you know the feeling when you get to Friday and you feel like you can breathe in and just sigh a little […]
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 […]
“Wine always tastes best under the sun that ripened the grapes.” No other statement could characterize the vibe better at the Texas Wine Revolution held this past Sunday at Horseshoe Bay Resort. The third annual non-profit festival showcased 49 of Texas’ best rosés and celebrated the beauty of 100% Texas grown wines. I was thrilled […]
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 […]
My idea of the perfect girls’ weekend involves getting as comfortable as possible, finding a great patio and sipping on my favorite wines while catching up with the ladies I love most. This past weekend I hosted my three closest friends from Houston. Well, technically one lives in New Braunfels now and another might be […]
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 […]
If you’ve been living under a social media rock lately, then you’ve missed out on one of the greatest home collections ever to hit shelves at Target. It’s called Opalhouse and trust me when I say that you’ll want ev-er-y-thing! There are three main collections – Indochic, Canyon Sunrise, and Mallorca. Each collection has a […]
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 […]
Like just about every other woman on the planet, I’ve tried a lot of skincare products. I mean, A…LOT! My routine has morphed from my teenage years of treating breakouts (although let’s not kid ourselves, that’s still an issue sometimes) to maintaining a youthful appearance (*ahem* not that someone who is perpetually 25 needs to […]
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. […]
Throwing birthday parties for your pets might seem strange to those who aren’t pawrents, but for those of us who cherish our little fur babies, celebrating their birthdays is just something we do. Right? Ok, if you’re not doing this already then allow me to explain why you should. This month, our precious Bella turned […]
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 […]
