Fall Boots


As much as it kills me to begin talking/thinking about fall, I wanted to do a post sharing the best boots the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has to offer. Prices are marked so low, I would hate for someone not to take advantage! The sale ends August 6, so head to Nordstrom.com to stock up on your favorite fall boots before prices rise!




Originally $129, I bought the above thigh high Steve Madden boots for just $86 last week! These boots are so comfortable, true to size and they don't slide down your leg while walking. I've been on the hunt for a pair of flat thigh highs that I could use them for everyday wear and these are perfect! 

Below I rounded up a few pairs of boots that are affordable & perfect for fall. Stock up now before the sale ends!

Summer Wedding Wear



Engagements are happening and wedding invites are slowly starting to fill my mailbox. Anyone else's 2018 filled with weddings? Hunting for the right dress can be impossible, so today i'm blogging about some cute & affordable options for summer!











Dress (Similar in yellow) | Heels (Similar) | Clutch (Similar) | Bracelet

I recently wore this dress to my friend's bridal shower but I think it's perfect to dress up and wear to a wedding as well! The fit of this dress is comfortable and extremely flattering. I bought this in a XS which converts to a 0-2, the sizing is a little different with this brand (Lovers + Friends) so I would go by your measurements if you can!

I paired this dress with my favorite nude heels, a clutch and the most convenient bracelet/ponytail holder. The bracelet hides those hideous hair ties we leave on our wrist constantly and adds a touch of shine to your outfit! When you're ready to throw your hair up after a long night of dancing just slide the hair tie off your wrist and your bangle turns into a cute cuff!

Below, I've linked a few dresses for you that I think are perfect for those upcoming weddings. Lulu's is one of my favorite spots to shop affordable dresses!

 Thanks for stopping by!

Bell Sleeves & Blue Florals






This is easily one of my favorite/most comfortable dresses, I can't stop wearing it! The breezy silhouette is perfect for summer weather and the feminine bell sleeves keep me warm while working my 9 to 5 (my office is freezing!). This piece can be styled with sandals for a more casual look or with a pair of wedges to dress it up for date night. The best part about this dress? You can match it with a pair of over-the-knee boots to transition your wardrobe into fall! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post, I hope everyone enjoys their week!

Floral Romper



You won't find a more flattering yet comfortable romper. I bought this back in the spring and I'm so happy it's now warm enough to wear! I love the vibrant colors, lace details, and adjustable straps this piece has to offer. The silhouette features a short top and longer shorts to give the illusion of a longer torso. I have to admit, I was hesitant about it at first but when I wore this outfit over the weekend I got a ton of compliments from friends about how long my torso/legs looked!

Since this romper is no longer available I wanted to highlight a few pieces from Kendall & Kylie's Pac Sun collection that I love. I've purchased a few things from their line recently and now it's one of my go to's for weekend wear. See below for my current favorites!

Yellow Stripes




Hey guys!

I've been on the hunt for simple summer dresses that I can wear as a casual day outfit or dressed up for happy hour and this lightweight, halterneck dress is perfect! I love the open back, soft cotton-mix fabric and relaxed fit. The best part about this dress is that it's under $40! I found this dress on a site called ASOS, they have so many great yet affordable styles and the delivery is quick!

Just Add Pink



After two years of contemplating and countless occasions where I talked myself out of the idea, I finally decided to give my style blog a try! Having a creative outlet outside of work allows me to share the things i'm most passionate about, and I couldn't be more excited to finally get started! 

My blog will be a place where I can share tips, daily outfits and all things fashion, beauty, and lifestyle that I love. I will also be including my family, friends and my travels in posts from time to time, giving you a little insight into my life.

I'd love to hear any feedback you may have, so please let me know what you think!
Thanks for stopping by :)







Black Romper: sold out - similar here | Similar tassel earrings | Michael Kors wedges- on sale!


This black romper is perfect for a night out this summer. Featuring feminine bell sleeves and flirty ruffles, you can dress this outfit up or down for an effortless look. Since i'm always cold, the sleeves are perfect for a chilly summer night when the temperature dips down. I paired fun hot pink tassel earrings & wedges with the look to give it a pop of spring color.

Austin, Texas


A couple weeks ago I took some time off from work and flew to Austin, Texas to visit one of my best friends, Talia. If you've never been to Austin, you NEED to go. BBQ, tacos, guac and margaritas surround you along with endless things to do and an exciting nightlife. If that doesn't give you enough of a reason to go, Austin was voted the #1 place to live in the United States in 2017 by the U.S. News & World Report. It's a place where everyone is welcome, after all the city motto is "Keep Austin Weird".



Immediately as I got off the plane I jumped into Tal's car and we headed towards our first destination, Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas. As a die hard HGTV fan, this was by far my favorite part of the trip. 



Standing in front of the iconic silos for the first time was so surreal for me. I never thought I would actually see Magnolia Market in person. Walking into Joanna's whimsical store was an experience in itself. Every little detail was perfect.


After walking through the store we headed straight to the bakery. The shop was beautifully filled with Joanna's iconic style and the most delicious looking cupcakes. Subway tile lined the walls and every treat in the window was labeled with Magnolia's signature calligraphy. As soon as you step in line you are handed an index card that list the menu of treats, I checked off the Lemon Lavender Cupcake.











The Lemon Lavender cupcake featured a cloud of creamy lemon buttercream frosting on top of a lavender-infused cake. It was soooo good!



After spending about an hour sitting on the swings taking in the view of the Silos we decided to head back to Austin.


The rest of my trip was spent exploring the best parts of Austin. We went sight seeing, shopping up and down South Congress and eating our way through the best restaurants we could find. See below for a list of my favorite places to eat!


Where to eat:

  • South Congress Hotel - This brand new hotel has a candle-lit, sophisticated atmosphere featuring live music, delicious drinks and apps. Oh and there's free valet parking!
  • Torchy Tacos - Right in the middle of South Congress, this taco spot has the best, somewhat spicy tacos.
  • Guero's - This is my favorite spot to eat in Austin, I make Talia take me every time I visit. Their fresh guac is so good, along with their watermelon margarita. You have to try! 
  • Culinary Dropout -  Located in the up and coming area, The Domain, this restaurant has the coolest outdoor seating with a bar serving creative cocktails, turf area filled with yard games and a menu filled with unique pub-food dishes.
