How to Style a Tee

Back again today with one of my favorite companies, owned by a sweet friend, Rosalynne Love! Y'all this girl is just incredible. So any chance I get to support her is an honor. This tee from her new spring collection is so perfect! I mean - it has baby succulents on it, adorable right!? And bonus - it's actually long enough for me to wear with leggings (granted, I ordered an XL because I wear things oversized) - but I NEVER find tees long enough to wear with leggings so this was a huge win for me.  You can style a tee in a billion ways, but here are a few of my faves:

- with skinny jeans and a kimono (like pictured)

- knotted with a maxi skirt

- over leggings with some tennis shoes and a high ponytail

Rosalynne's new collection has some super cute tee's just waiting to be styled! Go check out all her goodies here! Happy shopping!

{ps - for all you Gilmore Girls lovers, she has some super cute tees for you!}

Kimono Love

Ooooo y'all! I am SO excited to break out all of my kimonos. They are quite possibly my all-time favorite fashion piece - so comfy, cute, and they cover up that extra guac at Chipotle if you know what I'm saying...

When Eccentrics Boutique had this gorgeous maroon kimono, I had to have it. I know maroon in fall is nothing new, but it will always be one of my go-to's. This particular one has cute little trim and a tan floral print throughout. It was the perfect match with this tan knit tank! Whenever you can mix fashion and comfort - I am totally game. And this combo is the perfect mix!

And on a side note, I recently had my hair done! I went in to my fabulous colorist - Lauren at Euphoria Salon in Conway, AR - and had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do. And per usual, she read my mind and went above and beyond! I know people typically go darker for fall, but I'm loving this cooler blonde! Guess we'll see if blondes really do have more fun.

Happy fall y'all! I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather!

Free

Y'all know I love getting to look cute AND send a message. Fight Apparel Designs is a company who allows me to do just that. The founder of this shop is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Elise is fighting Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer and all of the apparel in her shop is inspired by her faith and her journey. This shirt is inspired by John 8:36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed". 

I can honestly say I need this verse on a daily basis. Graduate school has definitely been hard, like really hard- emotionally, mentally and even spiritually. But this verse always reminds me that I am truly free no matter the circumstances I might currently be in. Free from the stress and worry of this world because the one thing that really matters is that Jesus died for my sins and my soul will forever rejoice His name in heaven.

And I have exciting news! Fight Apparel Designs is offering 15% off your entire purchase on their site with code "EMILY" - so be sure to pick up this inspiring tee, along with other cute goodies!

Donut Stop Believing

If there's one thing I've learned from grad school so far - it's that I might {quite possibly} be a stress eater. Yes, I know it's horrible, but I've been living off of pizza, oreos and chips for the past 3 weeks. But the all-time best comfort food? Hands down a good donut. So clearly I needed this "Donut Stop Believing" tee! Not only does it feature my favorite food, but it's a good reminder to keep on moving along towards my goal! Grad school is KICKING my butt - but I've realized I've just got to keep my head down and power through! Also, if you haven't checked out Arsenic and Lace yet - you need to! They make this adorable tee and tons of others! Any Gilmore Girl fans out there? They have the perfect tee for you (and me, I'll probably end up ordering one). I'm team Dean forever!

And let's talk about these sunnies for a second. If you're like me - you buy a pair of expensive sunglasses but then never wear them because you're afraid you'll scratch/break them! Well friends, I have the solution! Nectar Sunglasses offers fashion forward sunnies at a price that won't break your bank. So take them hiking, biking, rafting - wherever you want - without the stress! Okay, I'm off to bed (yes, it's 9pm) because like I said, grad school is definitely beginning to take a toll and these 6am mornings aren't getting any easier. Hah! Night all!

Okay, so it might still be ridiculously hot here in Arkansas – but I can’t wait for fall! So despite the heat, I’m slowing mixing some fun fall pieces with my current summer staples. I seriously wear this Karen Kane black swing dress at least once (or twice) a week. I’m officially a swing dress addict – they’re beyond comfy and bonus – you can throw it on and go. No matching required. But to get my “fall fashion” fix, I threw on the floral sleeveless vest from Jack by B.B Dakota! To top it all off I added this fun “Eye of the Tiger” necklace from one of my favorite companies – Paisley and Sparrow.

Now, if you haven’t heard of Paisley and Sparrow you have got to check them out! They’re a jewelry company whose mission is to carry high quality, beautiful products that support social issues around the world. By purchasing a piece of her jewelry you can help make a difference in the world! My necklace was hand crafted by a survivor of modern day slavery. I love that Paisley and Sparrow allows you to support incredible causes, just by choosing what you spend your money on. Not only is this necklace gorgeous – but I have piece of mind that my money is going to help someone else. And to me, that’s the best of both worlds!
