Silver Lining
Blushed
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! We went to Arkansas over the weekend for a friends wedding! It was so fun to see everyone from college but I feel like I am playing major catch up on everything. While we had a BLAST, I am looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Too bad it's only Monday..got a little while to wait. Anyways, today I am wearing one of my favorite jackets. This blush color is seriously a favorite of mine and I love wearing it all year long. ...
Beauty Talk | Styling Essentials
For 8 years I worked in a salon. Not as a hairstylist, but a Beauty Advisor, if you will. Sadly, I don't get to help out any more during summers or holiday breaks, but I still enjoy staying up-to-date on the latest hair fads and product favorites. I have always been one to try and "recreate" the At Home Blowout but let's be honest, it's hard! I would much rather invest my time sipping some champagne at The Dry Bar any day, but that just isn't practical for my daily routine. I found some products that do an awesome job at making your hair look and feel like it's just received the royal treatment. Enjoy!! ...
Camouflaged
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great LD! I enjoyed a nice three day weekend and caught up on some girl time with blogger friends Angie, Danielle, and Haley along with many episodes of Breaking Bad (my husband and I's new show obsession!) While the weather in Dallas is way too hot for this look now, I enjoyed playing around with these Fall newbies in hopes to wear them for real one day soon! A new trend that I am loving for Fall wardrobe is camouflage. When I previewed J.Crew's new line for Fall, I immediately fell in love with this little scarf! It is a great piece for layering and such an easy way to spruce up an outfit. This Mossimo Ponte Jacket is also a Fall must and with a Target price, it's hard to say no. ...

DO IN DALLAS | Sprinkles Ice Cream
For today's "Do In Dallas" post I couldn't help but share the deliciousness known as Sprinkles Ice Cream. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to try a taste in their new Dallas Store and it was AMAZING! Waiting in a very long line in 101 degree weather is not my idea of a good time but the reward at the end made it all the better. I typically choose boring flavors and live with a fear of regretting my ice cream decision, so I went with Chocolate Chip (and sprinkles of course). For all you daredevils out there they had a long list of fun and creative flavors such as Cap'n Crunch, and Cherry Vanilla. Best of all, served in a red velvet waffle cone. Done and done. If you live in the DFW area or are planning to make a trip out here, I definitely suggest you add Sprinkles to your "to do" list. You won't regret it, even if you are waiting in a very long line!

When it comes to clothing, Mom always taught me to focus on the quality of clothes and investing in good basics. In the past, you've heard me preach about investing in pieces that serve as staples for your wardrobe. These are the pieces that stay classic and do not fall to changing trends. And since you are making an investment in your clothing, why not also invest in your laundry care to prolong the life of your clothes? While laundry can be a daunting chore, knowing my clothes are "so fresh and so clean" makes it all worth it.
When Downy reached out to me on the release of their new Infusions + Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster, I knew it was a brand I could trust. After all, I have used Downy for years! The combination of the Glow scent booster + the ...
A New Year in 1st Grade
Welp, today marked the start of a new school year for students all over north Texas and my 4th year of teaching. It was such a great day! I'm completely exhausted but that's to be expected. I'm really looking forward to this year and excited to get to know my new first grade friends. As promised, here are some of my classroom pics. You know I don't post a lot of teacher-y things, but this is my virtual scrapbook and this is a passion of mine so I feel it needs to be documented!
#JCrewStyleSessions
Sharing a few snapshots from last weeks Style Sessions at J.Crew Willow Bend. I had so much fun hanging out with Angie from Posh Floral and Allison Houpt as we shared our favorites from the new fall collection. Thanks again to everyone who came out, I had so much fun chatting and shopping with all of you! Now, everyone send me good vibes as I get ready for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL tomorrow! Eeek! ...
