Business in the back, party in the front.

There's something very effortless about this dress. You just throw it on and go! The short hemline in the front is playful with just a tidge of a longer hemline in the back to keep things modest. I love the embroidery and the longer sleeves for cooler mornings. Basically, this dress was made for Fall!

We had an awesome weekend in Austin with friends and we are all trying to wipe away the cobwebs as we head into Tuesday including majorly oversleeping this morning. Whoops!

I blame Lola. She's been waking up in the middle of the night and coming into our room to "snuggle." It's hard to say no to that quite honestly. Except for last night when she decided to lay horizontal with her feet on my face complete with restless leg syndrome.

Now you know why I woke up late. She, on the other hand, is completely well rested. If birds could circle her head and sing a Disney tune...it would be happening this morning. 

Me? I'm just slugging down another coffee but I can't complain. I've got a steady stream of work and good tunes to take me through the morning and the girls and I are hosting a super fun event. Join us tonight mommas!

Hi! Long time no write. I was in a bit of a writing funk while simultaneously managing a heavy workload and well…you know the rest of the story! And while this is clearly not 60 days worth of outfits, I can tell you that these looks ranked the most popular in both affiliate sales and feedback. It only made sense to share!

Boot season is just revving up which means it’s time for you to start thinking about styling options within your very own closet. I shared 25 of my favorite pairs last month but today we are going to talk about the versatility of the infamous lug boot. This does not mean that you should donate your favorite combat boots, Chelsea boots, ankle boots or knee boots. Keep those!

Feel like a million bucks with these basics.

Okay friends, we know Fall is peeking around the corner and while I think it’s safe to say that none of us are ready to discontinue pool days…the reality is that we have no choice! I am officially embracing a new season. And it’s likely due to my kids starting school this week.

You have officially entered Gemini season. We’re a passionate group of individuals and it just so happens that one of my nearest and dearest friends was born the day before me. <I’m the older sister but I digress> And if there is one thing that Geminis embrace, it is change. We get bored very quickly which is a testament to the amazing men we married because they keep us loved and entertained beyond measure!

Spring is a time for new beginnings. And there are so many in comparison to last year’s Spring. While much of the world continues to be on the mend from such a tumultuous year, I continue to feel optimistic that better times are ahead. Don’t forget to support your local, small businesses so that we can make up for lost times!

A year later…happier dresses, happier times. We’re seeing more vaccinations, less mask mandates, more in-person get-togethers and overall, a heck of a lot more joy. This Spring is so very different then Spring 2020 and I am grateful for that.

Phew! We are back! It was all things wonderful and after many DMs, I am sharing the looks my family begrudgingly captured. Cue the grunts and groans!

Happy Shopping! xo

The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.
The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.

…and just to prove how extra I can be, I paired this ensemble with a houndstooth tote. A bit much? Perhaps. My coat is on super sale so grab it now! I’ve been wanting one for years and this oversized version fit the bill. It’s all about the details. The ruched sleeves, the oversized lapel and the large-scale pattern. I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.
