Fewer fabrics were seriously woven for summer than linen (water-repelling nylon/spandex blends aside). It breathes, it moves, it wrinkles like your toes spent too much time in the hot tub... but in an effortless "it's summer and I'm a beachy, effortless gal" sort of way. *cue pina colada sip* While my linen britches wont find … Continue reading Summertime and the linen’s easy

Swimsuits 2018
LADIES. If I have learned one thing by the ripe old age of 26, it’s that no matter what number the tag in your jeans tells you you are, swimsuit shopping is. the. PITS. You feel me? You do. I know you (probably) do. Yesterday was National Bikini Day, a holiday not wasted on me. … Continue reading Swimsuits 2018
Gettin’ down with the button down
I've loved the reinvention and evolution of the classic button-down trend over the last five or so years. (Ah yes, suspend disbelief with me and let's pretend for a time that I'm truly an expert in the broad field of Fashion, dear reader. Am I fooling anyone? And now collectively, let's L-O-L, because we all … Continue reading Gettin’ down with the button down
Color Crush: Pink
Purple (Ultra Violet) was officially crowned Pantone Color of the Year 2018 by the design gods that be, but I think someone forgot to tell Pink. Have you noticed, too? I could be living in a visual echo chamber where I'm choosing see what I'm putting out into the universe lately, and I'm here to tell you, … Continue reading Color Crush: Pink
A Styled Screen Tee
Between the years of like 2000-2004, laying out my outfits was basically as easy as pairing this t-shirt with those jeans, and polishing my nails to match the day's ensemble. Repeat Monday-Friday. (Early signs of a little O to the C to the D? Just maybe.) In those early, awkward middle school days, Aeropostale took far more babysitting … Continue reading A Styled Screen Tee
Spring Investment: the moto jacket
The perpetual not-winter-not-warm weather pattern sitting over Dallas in recent months has forced me give my transitional outerwear a lot of love lately. We'll call this the silver lining to the otherwise frustrating getting-dressed situation known as 30-degree mornings, 70-degree afternoons. (How many times can a girl complain about her climate before losing all of her readers? … Continue reading Spring Investment: the moto jacket
Valentine’s Gift Picks
I had a hot tea & happy pants weekend, with ample chicken soup for the soul & sinuses. And cuddles-a-plenty from my 12lb guard dog - quite the protector when Mom's down for the count. Our pre-Valentine's weekend was probably less romantic than some (nose-blowing and mucus-coughing not the sexiest of looks), but it did … Continue reading Valentine’s Gift Picks
Cozy Chenille Cardi Crush
2017 has truly been the year people have partied - from runway to street wear- like it was 1999. In the resurgence of all things Nirvana, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and will-they-won't-they-Ross-and-Rachel, I believe to my bones the most wearable trend has been chenille. The squishiest of knitted things, it's the hug of a fabric … Continue reading Cozy Chenille Cardi Crush
Fall Footwear Favorite: the mule
There’s a post from 2015 in my elephant graveyard of rambling drafts that never saw the light of published infamy titled The Shoe I Didn’t Want to Love: the mule. (TL;DR Update: still in love. Less alone. Not unique. Don’t care.) Because in 2017, the conversation has totally shifted from “trust me, you’re gonna love … Continue reading Fall Footwear Favorite: the mule
The Poncho-Shawl: my autumn lifesaver
I love Dallas. I love the shopping. I love the food. I love the people. (If you don’t love Dallas People, I 100% hear you, friend, but then I dare to challenge, you probably haven’t found the right people.) I love when Austin and I drive in from a weekend away, as soon as the … Continue reading The Poncho-Shawl: my autumn lifesaver
