Favorite Finds

Ok people, there are so many favorite finds I don’t know what to do with myself. I really want to buy them all but, well, I can’t. But hopefully you guys can (not all of them, but you know what I mean). If you’re new to the favorite finds post, it’s a post where I take pictures of my favorite finds while I’m out shopping and helping clients. I do this because I know, 1.) not everyone likes to shop as much as I do and 2.) not everyone has the time to shop. So, it’s a win/win for you and me!

I saw this clutch at Anthropologie and I LOVE IT! If I could, I’d use this clutch as my “jumping off point” and decorate my entire house around it. Anyway, this clutch is perfect towear with your white jeans and any cute colorful topor to dress up your t-shirt and jeans. Ahhhhhh! I want this so badly!

A friend texted me the other day and asked if I knew of a good white shirt for pictures- ding, ding, ding and done! These shirts are sooooo versatile, you can tuck them into a maxi skirt for casual times or a pencil skirt for work. You can also wear it out with shorts and wedges. These shirts are super chic and super classic. They will definetly stand the test of time.

Well, you know I love Target. I found this layered necklace there for $20 (in stores). Ummmm, you can’t beat that! I will defintely be wearing this necklace with my t-shirts.

I am kinda freaking out over how cute this dress is (Club Monaco in store). I saw it in the window but I had the kids in tow, so I just took a quick snap shot. If you have any kind of summer party to go to this is your dress. Oh, and if you are getting married and you need a rehearsal dinner dress, stop looking this is your dress…

or wait, this may be your dress -ha! I guess it depends on your venue. Now, if you have any kind of cocktail party to go to, you must get this dress. I have no occasion to wear it (that I can think of and trust me I was thinking for a long time) but I know you all do. It is still very, very, very hard for me not buy. I know I’ll be kicking myself when I remember an event I could have worn this to.

Talk about an earring making life easier. This earring would make any bland outfit cute. I want this very badly, too. Ahhhhhh!

I already have my tan leather wedge for the summer but just in case you don’t, I love both of these pairs from Banana Republic. Yes!!! Now you know what to do with that Banana Republic gift card that has been sitting in your wallet! The wedge on the left is the quintessential tan leather wedge for summer. The wedge on the right is perfect if you want height but a drastic incline will hurt your feet- it’s more of a platform.

Well, what can I say, they are making the cutest

white dresses right now!! Plus, Club Monaco is offering an extra 40% off their sale items with code SUMMER40! Oh, and if you’re looking for the perfect clutch to go with it, look no further…

Love this fun pink rattan clutch. It goes along with my take on colorful purses, they go with everything.

Love the versatility of this skirt (Club Monaco in stores for similar here and here). I love that you can wear it to work with a white or blue oxford, add a black blazer if you like, and just as easily you could wear this for a fun night out with the girls or hubs. Pair it with a silk blouse tucked in and some black sandals, viola!

While shopping in L.A. we went into the Alice and Olivia store. I love this leather vest! I love it because, well, leather is really in right now and, well, so are vests -ha! I love it paired with just what I was wearing or over a sun dress to add some edge. I know I’ll be wearing this a ton in the fall, too!

Just in case you’ve been holding out for the perfect army jacket that will stand the test of time, wait no more. This is it! It’s the perfect classy, tailored take on an otherwise slouchy look. I have a slouchy version but now I want this one!

And, just in case you’ve been eyeing this shirt, like me, it’s on sale! Plus all sale items are an extra 30% off at J. Crew right now with code EXTRA30!!! Done, and done! Ooooo, and I think I’ll wear it with my white jeans, surprise! Hahahaha!

Thanks for going shopping with me! I hope you all liked my favorite finds. I’m taking the rest of the week off. I’ll be on vacation with the family at the beach -yay!

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.
