Growing Into Myself

Okay. Never have I ever had a shirt that sums up my life more. Coffee (although...I could substitute this for pizza....), top knot (or in my case, baby top knot), bright lips (always), and Jesus (my main man). If you haven't checked out Honeybee Boutique yet - boy are you missing out. They have the best tees -especially for all you momma's out there!!! But for all of us tee-lovers as well.

The owner, Erica, is all about empowering women and making them feel confident and proud in every situation! Which y'all know, I couldn't support more.

Fashion has always been a creative outlet for me, but I really don't feel like I fully grew into myself until I started blogging. It's empowering to share your story, write words to paper (or computer) and put yourself out there in a vulnerable way. Quite honestly, for the first year I didn't really tell any of my friends that I had a blog. For some odd reason, I was embarrassed about it. But I recently came to the conclusion that "hey...this is who I am, take me or leave me" and man oh man what a change that outlook can make! And for me, it was all about finding my confidence.

So, all of a sudden, I'm obsessed with flared jeans. There's nothing I feel more confident in! They are so slimming (and SO MUCH more comfortable than skinny jeans - see ya muffin top). Add on this bold tee, a leopard kimono and a bright red lip and you're ready to conquer the world (or your hectic schedule). I totally agree with Erica that every women should feel valued, important and strong. This is such a wonderful company, so be sure to head over to her page and check it out! And use code SPRING16 for 20% off her shop!

To all my ladies out there - you are fierce, wonderful, incredible, beautiful and so loved. So own who you are and get out there to show the world.

Weekend Wear

Cheers to the weekend! In my personal opinion, weekends are way to short and go by in the blink of an eye. Why can't we have a four day weekend/three day work week? Makes total sense, am I right!? But in all seriousness, I savor each and every weekend. Whether I've got plans with friends, or am just stuck inside studying, my go-to weekend wear is always super casual, cute and above all - comfy.

This outfit is the perfect combo of all three. Both my top and shorts are from a sweet little boutique in Oklahoma - Antique Garden. These Free People shorts are SO flowy and comfy (and for all you tall girls out there - these shorts are longggg). It's so hard to find shorts that don't show too much skin and these are such a good length. Paired with this open back ruffled tee, I literally felt like I was in my pajama's all day - and let's be honest, who doesn't want to spend Saturday in their PJ's? Crazy people.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! Savor every fabulous moment because we all know Monday will be here way to fast. And if you want to stay in style while still being ridiculously comfy - you need this outfit! Shop below!

Blushing Florals

I've been waiting months to tell you all about the newly launched brand - Devlin! Devlin was inspired by Parker (who we all know and love) for the millennial girl who wants trendy fashion pieces at a more affordable price point. This brand is officially now available at Dillards and Nordstrom, so be sure to check it out! Their spring collection is to die for, and the release of their summer collection is just around the corner!

I chose this gorgeous floral romper from their spring line. I know y'all have heard me say this 1,000 times, but rompers are my FAVE. I'll shout it from the rooftops. The easiest summer/spring outfit hands down. No matching pieces - just throw it on and go. One and done - so easy! And no worrying about those pesky windy days because it's shorts. I. Love. Rompers. This blush one is the perfect addition to my collection!

I hope you all had a happy Easter!

Orange Crush

(obviously had to add the dramatic hair flip)

In case you haven't already noticed, the "off-the-shoulder" trend is going to be HUGE this summer. And let's be real....I'm pretty excited about it. I've already added a few off-the-shoulder tops and dresses to my collection and it's like an addiction - I can't stop! They are so flattering and feel perfectly summer-esque. Plus they can be styled in infinite ways. Half tuck them into skinnies or flares; pair them with high waisted cutoffs; tuck them into a skirt - seriously, the possibilities are endless.

Sadly, this exact top is sold out (although feel free to check your local Dillards!), so I linked two that are very similar below! Also, these jeans are only $44. Crazy, right!? Such a good deal. I've also had SO many of you ask me about my clutch. I actually sewed it myself, but I'll link a similar one for y'all to shop below!

They feature a new boutique each month, so not only are you getting a fully styled outfit (plus some) - but you get to try top fashions from across the country! I love that it allows me to discover new boutiques that fit my style! So for all you busy girls out there (or those who just hate to shop) - be sure to get your Boutique Box while you can! Your closet will thank you.

Step Into Spring

Spring has officially sprung! And with Easter just around the corner, it's time to bring out the bright hues! I teamed up with my friends over at The Mint Julep Boutique to style the perfect spring outfit to wear to church, brunch with the girls (or really any occasion)! This vivid fuchsia screams spring and the dress is right on trend with the high-low hemline. Obviously I had to top it off with my go-to Kendra Scott jewelry and one of my favorite statement necklaces! I've found the more jewelry, the better - when in doubt...add another layer.

I've also had SO many of you ask me about my hair. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to post a full tutorial. But I use a one inch curling iron and either curl (with the clamp) or wrap my hair around it (in these photos I used the clamp, but typically I use the iron as a wand). Then I set my curls with small metal clips for about 5 minutes, then add lots of hairspray! 

Happy Spring!

Winter Style + Wood Watch

We had a few brief weeks of gorgeous weather (I'm talking 70 degrees) and then all of a sudden - freezing again. But, thankfully I picked up this gorgeous coat at the Dillard's Sale this weekend just in time for the cold front. Now at least I can suffer the cold in style, am I right?

Y'all remember when the new iPhone came out in rose gold and everyone was obsessed? I'm 100% still in the rose gold obsession phase and this watch is the perfect solution. It has the most stunning rose gold face accented with Swarovski crystals. And the band is made with Koa wood, making it the most unique watch I've ever owned! It's a classic piece that goes with everything. Be sure to check out all of the unique wood watch options here! And I linked my specific watch style down below too.

And good news! I've partnered with Jord Wood Watches to host a GIVEAWAY! Enter here for a chance to win $129 towards any watch in their shop!

Well, I don't know about you - but I'm going to be praying for warmer weather (or at least snow...if it's gonna be freezing can I get a snow day?).
