Now that we’re back and our shins have rested (those ski boots really take it out of you), I put together our Vail Travel Diary so that you can see how to maximize a short ski trip. If you’re new to the blog, this post is part of my Eat+Stay+Play travel series, a collection of […]
We just returned from a fabulous four days in Vail. If you followed along on Instagram you saw a little behind-the-scenes of everything we did, including our stay at the beautiful Hotel Talisa. I’ll be providing an extended blog post later this week recapping our entire adventure, but I wanted to write about Hotel Talisa […]
Happy Blogiversary! They say a lot can happen in a year. In the blogging world, the first year can make or break you, and most of the time it’s the latter. I’ve read over and over that most blogs don’t survive past a year (or even make it twelve months). I’m not sure I can […]
Hi, friends! If you read my recent newsletter, you know by now that we are headed to Vail this week! It’s been a few years since I’ve been skiing and I can’t wait to see snow again. I usually start gathering the items I’m packing a few days ahead of time so that I don’t […]
It’s rare that when a new line or collection launches that I’m completely enamored with every single piece. Then Target comes along (like always and why I love them so much) and releases Universal Thread. It’s as if they designed each item with me in mind. Have you seen Universal Thread yet? As a whole […]
Ways to Wear Your Grey Jeans It’s no secret that jeans dominate my wardrobe. I wear jeans to date night, hanging around the house, and sometimes even for work. I have just about every shade of blue jean known to man (and every style, too), but this go around I opted for something completely out […]
Valentine’s Day is only days away but there’s still time to find a thoughtful gift. I’ve put together a Valentine’s edit for her & him, complete with 14 gift ideas (clever, I know). Each edit collage is easier to shop, too. Just click on the item you’re interested in to be redirected and add to […]
I love the term “Galentine’s Day.” Sometimes I think there’s too much commercialized pressure surrounding Valentine’s Day. What if you just want to hang with your besties, your tribe, your been-there-for-everything-peeps? Then girls’ night it is! And every girls’ night needs the perfect signature cocktail. This cocktail is perfect for girls’ night because it’s easy […]
I know that many of us are ready for spring but I’m still relishing in scarf season. When the temperatures drop I love wrapping up in a giant blanket scarf. There are tons of tutorials out there on how to tie a blanket scarf a multitude of ways, but the way I’m going to show […]
I’m not one to mandate the celebration of things on their assigned date. But with Valentine’s Day falling mid-week this year, I know a lot of us will be going from day to date night without much time to change. And one of the things I despise the most is having to change handbags. I […]
There’s not a more versatile item of clothing than jeans. They’re the only piece from my closet that I wear almost every day, with limitless ways to go from casual to dressed up glamour. Just try thinking of something that doesn’t go with jeans. Sneakers? Perfect! Manolos? Own it! Ok, maybe jeans aren’t the right […]
My first time at a coffee festival was last weekend. It was a pretty fun day but as a first-timer, there are definitely some things you need to know. I asked a friend of mine to go with me to the San Antonio Coffee Festival and as two coffee lovers (and festival goers) we had […]
Although it’s just one day, it’s important to figure out how to make every day Valentine’s Day with your significant other. I’m one of the lucky ones who managed to marry my best friend. We are celebrating our 15th Valentine’s Day together this year, but every day he finds unique ways to show his love. […]
Ok, ok…so maybe I included every trip we went on in 2017 for this list of epic trips of the year. But seriously, who doesn’t say to themselves, “This is the best trip ever!” at least once on a trip? Travel is such a huge part of our life, so it’s a little difficult to […]
We are all guilty of it. The alarm goes off and you hit snooze. Scratch that. The alarm goes off and you mutter an expletive and then hit snooze. And you hit it again…and again…and then you check every app on your phone and…you hit snooze yet again. If you find yourself falling victim to […]
And just like that, 2017 came to an end. How does this time of year make you feel? Are you a resolution maker? Does the thought of a new year daunt or excite you? I usually have the hardest time answering these questions. Right now I’m just trying to navigate my way through the fog […]
If your idea of a great New Year’s Eve is more relaxation than rager (but you still want to pop a few corks), then this little guide is for you. I love a festive celebration. It’s part of the reason why I love the holiday season so much. I’m one of those people who likes […]
Procrastination can get the best of us during the holidays. But there’s still time to find great gifts without spending all your hard-earned cash. I put together some last minute gifts for her and him under $50. All of my holiday gift guides are posted under the Lifestyle menu above on a page called Holiday […]
How can it be that Christmas is less than a week away? I finally finished all our shopping and have just a couple more gifts to wrap. How is your gift list going? If you have any shoe lovers (or even yourself) to buy for, you might want to check out my style picks from […]
Holiday parties. Love them or hate them, they are prolific this time of year. From office to cocktail to dinner party, you can succumb to the stress of not knowing what to bring or wear. But fear not, dear friends, there are easy ways to give your wardrobe a little jingle all the way without […]
