Favorite Finds

Gap Resolution True Skinny JeansJeans- Gap in over dark wash

These jeans deserve a post of their own, they are that great! I originally found them while with a client at the Gap. She tried them on and the fit was excellent, the fabric didn’t have too much give, and they were a true skinny (skinny at the ankle). They are a mid-rise, so they suck you in but are still comfortable. I’m telling you, I could stop this post right now, because these skinnies are that good. In fact, I went back and tried them on myself just to take pictures to share with you guys. Did I mention these skinnies are really, really good? -ha!

 Topshop 'Fig' Cutout Lace-Up Gladiator Sandal Shoes- TopShop

I am in love with these sandals! If you’ve been looking for a summer sandal, look no further. Plus they are a great price! Trust me, I’ve looked at them all -ha! I like that they are the gladiator look, but not too out of the box. They come in brown, too! I saw a girl wearing them, and they looked great. If you want to splurge on a sandal, I came across these recently. Someone hold me back, I waaaaant!

Trouvé Split Back TopTop- Nordstrom ON SALE

I originally found this top while I was with a client. She bought it in 2 different colors, because it fit so well. Then I bought it for myself, and now its on SALE! What I liked about this top is that it’s the perfect casual/dressy top (you know what I’m saying). I like the neckline, because sometimes I don’t what to worry about a cami or how far my shirt comes down. And I love the split back detail. It doesn’t open too much. It’s pretty awesome, and it’s a great price!

IMG_6801Clutch- J.Crew

What summer outfit would this clutch not go with (the black is actually blue, it’s not a great picture)? That’s right, none! And for that reason, this makes this the perfect summer clutch. Well, and not to mention that it’s DARLING! If you have an upcoming event, consider this to go with your dress. Or heck, build your entire outfit around this clutch! Either way, you can’t go wrong, because it’s sooooo cute!

 

New Balance '696' SneakerShoes- New Balance

Ummmm, Hi…. Maybe I should just claim myself the tennis shoe blogger so I can justify buying another pair of tennis shoes. I can’t stand it, I want the navy pair sooooo bad ( I already have a grey pair). Ummmmmm, what doesn’t go with navy? Shoot, I’m in trouble. Ha!

BP Chambray Boyfriend ShirtShirt- BP, Necklace- BP

When I found this with a client, I started flipping out. It’s a great deal for a chambray shirt, and it’s the perfect shade of blue. I can’t explain it, but this faded blue goes with everything (I know because I have a similar chambray shirt from J. Crew that I wear all the time). For this reason, I hopped on it! I had been searching for a replacement in the back of my mind, because lets just say the arm pits are not looking so blue anymore. When my sister saw it she said it was perfect for Rodeo! Well, I agree, and I say it’s perfect for everyday! Oh, and the necklace is super cute, too!
Chuck Taylor High Top SneakerShoes- Converse

I’m going to go ahead and claim this to be the best monogrammed item I’ve ever seen. I already have a pair of high top chucks, but if you don’t, here is your excuse.

Nadri Bar Stud EarringEarrings- Kate Spade,  Nadri

I’ve been looking for a pair of studs to wear everyday that I can also wear swimming or working out. I have my dimaond studs that I love, but I wanted something a little different. These fit the bill, plus I like that they are blingy (but not too blingy), so they stand out more than just metal would. These are the Kate Spade, but I found a Nadri pair that look identical and are less expensive… yes, please!

Madewell Layout Tunic DressDress- Madewell

Ok, I love this dress. I’ve already worn it and got coffee all over the white part. If I hadn’t, I’d dedicate an entire post to it. It’s flattering, modern, sophisticated and comfy. I’ve worn it to church, but I’d just as easily wear it on a date or on a girls night.

Madewell Arrow Stitch Peasant TopTop- Madewell, Flares- Madewell

If you are looking for a pair of flares, these are great! I liked the way they held me in (comfortably), and when worn with a heel, they are super flattering. Am I the only one who is always drawn to blue and white tops?

Gap Denim Maxi DressDress- Gap, Tank- Gap

I love this dress from the Gap! Talk about EASY and cool for the summer. It’s about the softest thing EVER. I can see wearing it everyday with flats, sandals, or tennis shoes. You can dress it up with a wedge, or you could even wear it as a cover up! You guys have to watch the video to see how flowy it is. I’m wearing a medium in this picture.

    Hi! Weird question! When I click on the link under the Gap jeans, it takes me to a fitting room picture of you in a striped tank and white jeans. Where is the tank from, it is super cute! Love your Favorite Finds by the way. You have great style!

    I was wondering if I could please ask what brand and color is the pale pink polish that you are wearing.
    It is the perfect shade.
    Thank you!

    I am also always drawn to white/blue tops. I tried that one and I think it is adorable, I am waiting for a sale on it.
    That black/white dress looks fantastic on you. I have never noticed it in my store but I tend to ignore dresses (I have too many)

    For online ordering purposes, did you find the black shirt that opens in the back to run small or large?

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.
