Thank you to Pantene for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own! I haven’t been shy about the big adjustment Florida heat and humidity have brought on, specifically in regards to my hair. Having naturally voluminous, frizz-prone hair myself, I’ve spent the past couple of years applying all sorts of heat in an effort to keep it silky and smooth… resulting in quite a bit of damage. But recently, I’ve been using Pantene’s Miracle Rescue Collection and y’all, it’s been a game-changer! Enough so that for the first time in a while, I’m able to quickly blow out my hair and head ou ..read more

The title says it all, y’all… my sister, Steele, is engaged! And I am still giddy over it. Safe to say, my family could not be more thrilled to welcome Brantley into the fold. Let the fun begin! This past Saturday, Andrew and I secretly flew to Dallas to help Steele’s now-fiancé pull off the most wonderful surprise. It was a whirlwind of a weekend, and I’ve been promising to share the details soon. I know many of you have seen my sister pop onto the blog here and there, so it only feels fitting to share this occasion with y’all. With permission from the happy couple, here is a look into their ..read more

Moving to Florida has given me a whole new respect for southern summer humidity. Early spring in this state is a dream… balmy weather, blue skies, blooming flowers everywhere you turn! But once mid-to-late summer rolls around, it’s all I can do to step outside… let alone get dressed in something cute! That’s why I’m so excited about the new spring and summer arrivals from Southern Tide. From adorable, classic activewear to perfectly southern sundresses, you’ll find so many pieces that make dressing for summer not only doable, but enjoyable as well! Today, I’m excited to partner with this brand ..read more

My IKEA pax wardrobe is without a doubt one of my favorite things in my home. After fruitlessly exploring different clothing storage options and ideas, I finally decided to “pull the trigger” on this affordable, build-your-own system and convert a spare bedroom into a “cloffice.” (Closet-office.) Let me tell you… I only regret that I didn’t do it sooner! Before I finalized my own IKEA pax wardrobe design, I spent a tremendous amount of time scouring the web, Pinterest and Instagram for layout ideas and inspiration. After all, I wanted something beautiful but also perfectly functional for my s ..read more

  It’s no secret I’ve been living in pjs and sweatpants around here, but a special collection that launched this morning has re-inspired me to get glammed up!

This morning, I shared a bit of an update over on my Instagram Stories. (In a nutshell: feeling a bit better, but still not anywhere close to 100% or fully “myself” and learning to be content in that.) I also mentioned how recently, I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on any new clothing purchases because, quite frankly, I have no idea what will fit, let alone work. Kind of problematic when you’re technically a “fashion blogger.” Something about sharing that openly took away the timidity I’ve felt when it comes to dressing my rapidly changing (ie growing) body and inspired me to take the p ..read more

There’s a line I’ve been stalking for over a year now, friends. It’s perched right in the middle of one of my favorite shopping centers in Dallas, Highland Park Village, and creates fabulous/funky/glam pieces out of unused designer fabric. If you’ve heard of La Vie, you know what I’m talking about! Whenever I’ve popped back into Dallas, I usually make a point to peek into this hot pink store. It’s always a treat to look through the gorgeous fabrics, colors and textures! These dresses are definitely a splurge, and after saving up I finally pulled the trigger on this gorgeous floral-jacquard org ..read more

This time last week, Andrew and I were in Riviera Maya, Mexico the midst of celebrating two special occasions: his 30th birthday and our second wedding anniversary! You may have seen the surprise I planned for him over on my Instagram Stories… when we arrived, who happened to be at the pool waiting for us other than his parents. :) I still smile when I think about his reaction! With Andrew not getting to spend nearly as much time with his parents as he would have liked due to his rigorous residency schedule, it was the perfect way to celebrate his big day. That evening, I had one more surprise ..read more
