Father’s Day?!?!- I’ve got you covered

I’m not the only shopper in my family. My husband has great taste and loves nice, quality things. Some of you have asked me to do a post for your husbands (or your husbands have asked me) and this is my attempt. Well, consider my husband your personal “Father’s Day” shopper. Here are the items he loves! If you order now, they’ll be on your doorstep by Father’s Day.

Who wouldn’t want to feel like they are getting a close shave everyday, like the old timey barber shop gives you? My husband likes Jack Black beard lube the best, because it’s less expensive than the others and he can’t tell the difference.

Filson bags (here or here), as they say themselves, are “practically indestructible…witnessed by the fact that they have been passed down from fathers to sons to grandsons.” Now, what father wouldn’t want a bag that he could pass down to his son?!?! Not to mention that the bags just look good. It’s perfect for overnight hunting or golf trips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love these tennis shoes. This was my perfect solution to get my husband out of the grey, frat boy looking New Balance and into a shoe that was hip but not too edgy- still on the conservative side. And, of course, they are still the great quality of New Balance. Well, too bad they don’t make them in a size 14 -ha!

This is one of my favorites! For years my husband wore Old Spice High Endurance deodorant. It was so overpowering that every time I went to hug him that’s all I would smell and it would sting my nose- you know what I’m talking about?!?! Well, we ran across this deodorant while staying at a nice hotel and its amazing! Now I actually buy it for him when he’s out because I love it so much. Stingy nose, no more!

This is what he’s asked for this year. Unlike me, he actually uses his bags- he will put the wine bottles in this nice bag and be ready to go to a party. We’ll arrive looking oh so put together. I, on the other hand, would just grab the bottles and have them clinking on the floor board. I guess that’s why we are the perfect match -ha!

My husband has struggled for years to find nice dress shirts. He even went the custom fit route. But, none are as nice as these ETON dress shirts. He gets the contemporary fit, but they have other fit options. The first time I saw him in this shirt I said, “Wow, that’s a nice shirt”. I don’t think I had ever noticed a men’s dress shirt before in my entire life -ha!

My brother-in-law purchased this Jack Spade (Kate Spade) briefcase last year and every time I see it I think, “Man that’s a cool briefcase”. It’s still conservative in color (the perfect tobacco color) and material, but has great functionality with the shoulder strap option. It’s the perfectly updated briefcase.

I love a good slip on shoe for guys, whether it be a boat shoe or these very cool slip on shoes from ECCO– the maker of high end golf shoes. There are just some occasions when a flip flop just doesn’t cut it and these are the perfect solution. My husband purchased this combo and, well, what can I say- he looks really good when he wears them!

Oh, and if your husband is like mine and doesn’t like surprises, don’t fight it. It’s just the way they are. Present some of these options and see if any of them are winners! And be sure to check out my “For Him” Pinterest board!

    Love the ideas! Just got my hubby the barber shop goodies. He’ll love them! Thanks for always making my life easier and more fun with not only ideas for me, but now for my hubby too. I would love more everyday ideas every once in a while on clothes, etc. that you like for your hubby or he likes. I know Jason, my hubby, will appreciate it too! 🙂

    I got my hubby the cute ECCO slip ons and he loved them. It was funny, the day I ordered them, he said, I think I need a new pair of sneakers if you are looking for Fathers Day ideas. I was like really? Have you been reading the blogs I follow? Anyway, he looks cute in them too. Thanks!

You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this picture? It's kinda embarrassing to admit that they’re all I could see at first when I was cutting these hydrangeas from my yard- all the ugly brown, dry spots. As I brought them inside to throw away, I saw them all in my arms and thought, “Wait, these are really pretty all together. How could I just dismiss these so quickly?” Well, it's no surprise to me why I could dismiss them so quickly being the enneagram 1/perfectionist I am, but this was such a good reminder that if I choose to see beyond all the little imperfections in my life how much richer and more beautiful my life becomes! I hope someday I won't even notice those brown spots, but I also have grown to appreciate that God gave me an eye to try and make my world  and life a better place. I just gotta keep it in check and not dismiss the whole lot of hydrangeas for the little brown spots. This is a really beautiful, loving life if I'm looking for it.
I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announci I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announcing their tag sale that starts today (an extra 30% off sale items) and noticed that this jumpsuit I purchased and have not had the chance to post was part of the sale. When I don’t feel like putting together an outfit, I gravitate towards one piece outfits- like a jumpsuit/romper or a dress, which seems to happen more and more during this time at home. Putting together two pieces to make an outfit feels like so much work these days! Plus, I look fully dressed without much effort, and you know I like that. Anyway, there are so many cute one piece options on sale! Then, I noticed that so many items I found and loved during this same shopping trip are included in the sale! The good stuff goes fast, so head to my stories for links to what else I found!  #myanthropologie #sponsored http://liketk.it/2QXVm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip
Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’ Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’s hot and downright uncomfortable to be outside on metal bleachers, I love it! Do y’all feel the same? And I have missed it! To see your son and his buddies make a really great play just gets my mom heart. I actually got goosebumps last weekend after a play. I know, I am a total dork. Now, I know from experience that if you’re not prepared for the games, you can get quite uncomfortable. As you all know, I am practical to a fault. So in preparation for my next few weeks and weekends that will be spent at the ball fields, I thought I’d share on the blog and on stories today what I think are the 7 necessities to enjoy yourself despite the conditions. I hope they can be of use to you during these toasty summer days outdoors! http://liketk.it/2QUiC

For the last couple of years, finding a versatile For the last couple of years, finding a versatile cover-up has felt practically impossible. Especially since ruffles, puff sleeves, and bows are where it's at with swimsuits right now. It felt like I was trying to buy a cover-up for every swimsuit (ummm, no), which forced me to put on my thinking cap. I finally found my perfect solution!!! SCARVES (aka sarong's)! I'm calling them scarves because I love the idea of using the scarves I already have in my closet as cover ups! Or wearing the sarong you have as a scarf! Not to mention, there are so many more darling scarves out there than there are sarongs and cover ups, and in my mind, they are just waiting to be used as coverups! Plus, typically scarves are less expensive! When I saw this darling rainbow scarf, I knew that I wanted to wear it immediately with this swimsuit top.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked a few scarves I'm loving that I think would be great as a cover-ups. I didn't have a chance to check the measurements on all these scarves, so make sure that they're big enough! http://liketk.it/2QzmV #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKswim #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #styletip #swim #coverup #swimcoverup #summerstyle
I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I' I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I'm in love with a lot of these statement swimsuit tops that are out right now. But, I am not in love with the price tag! So, I've come up with a solution! I buy the statement top, and then I buy my swimsuit bottoms from Old Navy! Their swimsuit bottoms fit well, and it's fun to be able to mix and match! In this picture, I'm wearing a designer swimsuit top with my Old Navy bottoms. And since Old Navy has so many different cuts and styles of bottoms, you can find the right fit for you and mix and match the bottoms with your favorite tops! For instance, if you have a red swimsuit top, how cute would they be with blue and white polka dot bottoms for the 4th? Or you could pair your red top with the red and white stripe bottoms. I don't think it matters much if there is a little color variation. Once the swimsuit is wet the colors change, anyway! I'm so excited about this trick, I can hardly stand it! Can you tell?! If you utilize this trick, please tag me or send me a picture. It would make my day!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For sizing reference, my personal favorite are Old Navy's bikini bottoms. I wear either a small or medium depending on how I feel that day. But like I said, they have all different cuts for bottoms, so you can find the one that's right for your body type. http://liketk.it/2Qzjx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKswim #styletip #stylist #houstonstylist #summerfashion #fashiontips #stylehacks
You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought this top after I posted about my favorite tops for summer on the blog. I know that off the rack clothing rarely fits perfectly. I usually end up returning online orders and go on the search for that perfect top, but unfortunately, that usually comes with a high designer price tag, not to mention hours of searching. Now in COVID times, returns are more difficult, and I don't have the liberty to just go in stores to search for that perfect top. It's definitely giving me a "make it work” attitude, which is really working out well for me! For instance, this top was shown on the model with an open back that tied with a bow and a bra looking front (swipe right). I used a tack stitch on the bottom of the bra part to provide more coverage and wrapped the bow to the front so my back is covered and my front has more coverage. I paired it with my sister's (@tellittoyourneighbor) and my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts. They're a great denim short option for all shapes, and if you want more length, you can keep them unrolled. And I love how my new favorite @espacio_popupshop MAC bracelets tie it all together! Now, let's talk about how I really want to get a hot glue gun out and make a dope mirror like this one! I don't have seashells. I wonder what else I could use? Hmmmm... http://liketk.it/2Qz5I #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #diy #diyfashion #freepeople #agolde @freepeople @agolde
I love the changes I see happening in our country, I love the changes I see happening in our country, and I don't want them to end. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. All of this progress feels so right. I feel it so deeply in my soul. I'm all in on all of this kind of LOVE. I want to be a part of the change, and I plan to do so in my own little way, but I am taking a cue from @beabridgebuilder founder @latashamorrison and pressing the pause button. I will stand in a place of awareness and humility and learn. But one thing I've realized that I've done in the past that hasn't been helpful is staying quiet for fear that, out of my ignorance, my words would offend a Black friend and that I would be corrected. (In fact, I would always say "African American" for fear that "Black" was offensive. I learned that's not the case.) My silence didn't help anyone. So, I go forward knowing that out of my ignorance, I will make mistakes and will unintentionally offend, but I won't let my fear and self preservation get in the way of trying to help. If I make a mistake, I can learn and say I'm sorry. I'm a big girl now, and I want change. If the change leads to me being humbled, I'm ok with that. I won't stay silent anymore.
