My ikea pax wardrobe closet

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

Ideas for your bouji christmas list

As I’ve slowed down this season in preparation for Baby Bowman, I’ve been much more of a consumer than a creator when it comes to Christmas gift guides. I’ve enjoyed the change, but have to confess that I’ve definitely noticed certain items repeated over and over. Not a bad thing, by any means, but I found myself wanting to see a bit more… I don’t know… seasonal sparkle? Today, I came across the most fabulous, over-the-top pair of pearl-embellished slippers. What can I say – I was immediately inspired to scour the web for other equally fun, budget-breaking Christmas list ideas. Now please read ..read more

Tuckernuck sale // the 5 pieces i purchased

1y ago
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

It’s taken me a bit longer than I anticipated to put this together, but today I am happy to share a gift guide that is very special to me! Here’s the best part: This roundup of small businesses was submitted by you, and several of them are businesses that you own and operate! To say I have the best community here might a huge understatement. Some of these small businesses were already ones I know and love, and others were new to me. Guys, I am so impressed with you. I think my Christmas wish list doubled in size after browsing through all the incredible products and services you all create – l ..read more

The second Andrew and I found out a little baby was on the way, we were dying to find out the gender! We didn’t even have the patience to wait for a reveal. Instead, we had the nurse leave us a voicemail which we listened to together. I’ll never, ever forget the moment we heard: “Congratulations, you’re having a boy!” pink cowboy boots // baby cowboy boots // ostrich cowboy boots (similar linked) The crazy thing is, I’ve always pictured myself having a boy first. No reason why… it’s just what always came to mind. But when I started getting really sick during my first trimester, I had many tel ..read more

Over the past eight years of Lonestar Southern, I have had the immense joy of sharing many big life moments with you all. Graduating from UT, taking Lonestar Southern full-time, moving into my first apartment, navigating the world of adulting, traveling, meeting Andrew, marrying Andrew, moving to Gainesville, bringing Flynn home… it makes my head spin to think through all we’ve “been through” together! Today, I get to share perhaps the most exciting update yet. Our biggest dream is coming true: We are having a baby! dress // slip // earrings It feels a bit surreal to type this out, and it’s h ..read more

Daily Harvest Review
Lonestar Southern

If there’s one thing this last year introduced me to, it’s the beauty of delivery. I have a propensity to sit down at the computer to work and quickly lose track of time, resulting in a mad-dash when it comes to meals. More often than not, I reach for what is easy and quick.. and as you can guess, that’s not always healthy! So when I can get something delivered instead of trying to fit in last-minute errands, it’s a lifesaver. As the pace of life, in general, began to pick back up a few months ago, I noticed myself reverting more and more to “fast” lunches that, while convenient, weren’t very ..read more
