Blush and Blues

My blog has taken the back burner to moving, home renovations and immersing myself in work here in Austin. I am trying to get back to more frequent posts... along with my redesign!

jack aviators // metallic barrettes // leather envelope clutch // vintage cotton tee // chambray jumpsuit

tiered crepe top // perforated belt // sleep set // arrow scarf

I love the short sleeves on the chambray jumpsuit and I already placed an order on the button up sleep set!

We are currently adjusting to the Texas weather. So far it's been a mix of heat, humidity and thunderstorms. This breezy board of blush and blues is perfect for Austin. Plus, everything is up to 40% off with the code 24hours!

Desert Vibes

Tomorrow is my birthday and we're headed to Palm Springs for a fun filled weekend getaway.

If I envision myself in this hammock oasis long enough, it might actually come true. In the meantime, I pulled together some desert vibe boho pieces that would be perfect in Palm Springs.

tassel scarf // ray-ban sunnies // cactus iphone case // styling powder // lace up flats // colorblock tote // olive shorts

Loving the subtly of the boho in the tassel scarf and that cactus iphone case is too cute. I got the pret-a-powder for Christmas and finally found it unpacking a box... Can't wait to try it out!

We haven't been to Palm Springs in so long... so if you have any recommendations for us, I'd love to know your favorite spots!

Hope you have a fun St Patty's Day!

Shopbop Sale: under $100 picks

The Shopbop Spring Sale is here! I've picked my favorite under $100 pieces that I'm currently coveting for spring.

I recently purchased a pair of A Gold E boyfriend jeans, but I am loving this budget friendly pair too. Just the right amount of distressing and I love the light wash for spring. This fun swing shirt would look so cute on top, paired with the suede scalloped flats (leather pair here).

I've been wanting a classic, grown up pj set for awhile now and this set is under $80, plus the additional percent off with the Shopbop Sale.

And lastly, this pom pom tote bag and pink water bottle would be perfect for my upcoming trip to Palm Springs!

Valentines Day Gifts + Goodies

Valentine's Day is a perfect excuse to indulge in chocolate and all things pink. I pulled together some fun gift ideas and goodies to get in the loving, holiday spirit.

hanky panky set // diptyque candle // rose gold watch // rose water spray // lock & key

minimergency kit // sweet nothings journal // heart pajama set // floral confetti push pop // heart tray

While the bird & I usually don't plan anything extravagant for Valentine's Day, I love the idea and meaning behind the day. It's a sweet reminder to embrace and celebrate us.

Oooo... and I love this fun, illustrated slideshow about relationship advice, from real people.

And lastly, can we talk about the new Ben & Jerry's non-dairy flavors! PB & Cookies. #yum

Comeback Trend: Bootcut + Flare Jeans

I am embracing this trend comeback with open arms. I feel like the bootcut and flare fits have such a flattering silhouette.

frankie hearts fashion // fifideluxe // advice from a twenty something // lauren conrad

Here are some great picks to get these jeans back into your closet!

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight

Love the inspiration of dressing them up or down. They are very versatile, but to continue the elongation, I think they look best with a bit of a heel. Try pairing them with booties, wedges or heels.

Pantone Colors of the Year: Rose Quartz

I love the pretty colors of the year from Pantone. I am particularly partial to the Rose Quartz.

fabric chair // fray pillow // tassel keychain // textured rug // glass vase // cashmere wrap // coasters (similar here & here)

Here are some great finds to add a bit of Rose Quartz into your life. Loving these chairs and this textured rug as statement pieces. How perfect would this be in a nursery! #targetdoesitagain I've also been on the hunt for agate coasters. These are so pretty!

Wishlist: For Her

I wanted to join the party and put together a pretty wishlist of some of my favorite things:

The Fifth watch // stone earrings // blanket scarf // Creme de la Creme tray // rose gold Tieks // copper coffee set

merino wool eyemask // splatter rain coasters // Cordilla strips // leather laptop case

I actually have this watch and LOVE it! Definitely add it to your wishlist! This laptop case and coffee set are so chic and I love the shimmer of these Tieks.

Happy Shopping and Happy Friday!

Fall List

I am officially surrendering to fall and embracing all the plaid, cozy sweaters and Halloween candy.

Plaid look // Pumpkin candle // Leftover candy brownies // Hunter rain boots // Thanksgiving crackers

Essie fall polishes (stylenomics, bobbing for baubles, smokin' hot, shearling darling)

I could never get on board with the pumpkin hype and lattes. Instead, I embrace fall with dark polishes, plaid button downs and my favorite rain boots.

A major storm came through Austin last weekend, thanks to Hurricane Patricia. It was nearly 48 hours of non-stop rain. As much as I love the rain, we had a weekend indoors watching movies and binge watch The Leftovers. (So good!)

Shopbop Sale picks!

I wanted to share my favorites of the Shopbop Sale.

Since there are wayyy too many fun things to pick from, I took my inspiration from these fabulous neutrals:

one // two (unknown) // three // four

Loving black and white neutrals for transitioning into fall. Here are some of my favorites from Shopbop.

striped long sleeve // fold over clutch // asymmetrical sweater // leather lock bracelet // suede booties

double-sided earrings // grey tote bag // black jumpsuit // aviator sunglasses

striped dress // tuxedo vest // cross body bag

That striped dress and that jumpsuit are so versatile! I also love the structure of the cross body bag. And grey booties have been on my wishlist; love the detailing on these. And everything is 25% off with the code inthefam25!

Sorry for my long hiatus! We're back from visiting home for two weeks and attending a couple weddings. Can't wait to finally settle into Austin!

Fall Inspiration: Burgundy + Olive

I am loving these two colors for fall and need to get a couple pieces in these colors to incorporate into my fall wardrobe.

Knit dress (with pockets!) // Blanket scarf // Silk cami // Lace bralette // Rimmed glasses // Henley dress // Shirttail skirt

I love the versatility of these dresses. And I am always down for a scarf, fall or not. 

Hope you have a fabulous, long weekend planned! Happy Labor Day. 

PS... I have FUN news to share on Monday!

Fall Overalls Look

I am such a big fan of overalls. I wore them the first go around in the 90s and can't stop lusting over them now.

Denim overalls // Panama hat // Striped long sleeve // Tan booties (on sale!) // Nude heels

I love the skinny look and how they can be dressed up or down. And give me all the distressing!

Here are some of my favorite overall looks around the web:

one // two // three // four

Workout Gear Favorites

I recently started running again. My hope is to run another 1/2 marathon in October. I did my first 1/2 in Chicago a couple years ago and am eager complete another. We'll see how the next couple months go. :)

Dotted wrap tank (on sale!) // Lightweight jacket // Floral pants // New Balance trainers

New workout gear definitely keeps me motivated, and at the least, makes me look the part!

The bird and I are headed to Las Vegas for the weekend with my family to celebrate my brother's birthday. Can't wait!

Have a great weekend!

5 Flats for the Fall

I know it's still summer, but fall is quickly approaching. I am really looking forward to some cool weather and we're still praying for rain over here in California.

So I picked out five fabulous flats that will make you excited about fall too.

Ballet flats // Floral d'Orsay // Laced up flats // Striped Soludos // Tied cutout flats

I love the new tied and laced up trends. Such a fun way to spice up the traditional ballet flats. I am also a huge fan of Tieks for their comfort and durability. These grey fabric ones are my ultimate go-to.

5 Ways to Incorporate Tassels this Summer

Tassels are such a fun trend and I love them for the summer! Here are some of my favorites:

DIY tassel sandals // Tassel keychain // Tinsel drink tassel // Embroidered tassel shirt // Agate + Tassel necklaces

There are lots of diys out there and Etsy is also a great source (for affordable finds + to support small buisness!). I love the agate & tassel combo. And those keychains would be so fun on a clutch too!

Father's Day Gift Guide

Hope you're having a great week!

Father's Day is just around the corner. So, I wanted to put together a gift guide of fun things I've seen around the web.

luggage tag // pomade // shaving set // iphone case // paddle board set // usb cable // speaker // travel bag

I am loving that luggage tag, even for me! And I bought the bird a similar shaving set for Valentine's Day and he loves it! This is a popular and highly reviewed shaving cream if you want to complete the set.

Happy Gifting!

Casual Summer Outfit

I'm not sure if "What I Wore Wednesday" is still a thing, but I'm playing anyway. It is in the 80's this week and I was excited to bring out some summer pieces.

Here is the look recreated, with some of the same pieces:

v-neck tee // panama hat // coral pants // leather belt // silver lake tieks

I bought these pants a couple seasons ago, but they look like the same ones. And the best part is that they're only $30 from Zara.

And I finally got a pair of the fabric (vegan) Tieks. Love them!

So. Many. Sales.

There are lots of fun sales going on right now!

The biggest obviously being the Nordstrom 1/2 Yearly Sale. Here are some of my favorites for the summer:

Leather + Stone wrap // Drawstring shorts // Arrow jumpsuit // Floral loafers // Boyfriend jeans // Scallop tote

The scallop tote, paired with the white boyfriend jeans and those floral flats. Done! :)

Here are a couple other great sales for the weekend:
• Rebeeca Minkoff is hosting a Summer Sale Event
• Rebecca Taylor is also having their 25% off Spring Sale
• BaubleBar is offering 20, 30 or 40% off

Have a happy, long weekend!

Bohemian Vibes

The boho style is a bit of a stretch for me.

But as the weather is getting warmer, I've been lusting over all the flowy, printed and bohemian styles online.

Floppy Fedora // Denim Vest // Necklace // Tropical Jumpsuit // Sunglasses // Blush Flats // Raffia Clutch // Neon Cuff

It's definitely a fun style to mix with preppy, edgy and romantic pieces. Also, how fabulous are those flats and sunglasses!
