Happy Friday! Can you believe Easter is only a week away? In case you missed it, here is my Easter edit with all things Easter related. If you’re still looking for something to wear, you may find it in today’s post. Florals and patterns are always on-trend for spring, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. Some of these are stunning standout pieces and some are gorgeous accessories you can throw into your look to add a fun spring element.
Guess what? I’m back with another video! Instead of an eight hour shoot day with a full crew (see this blog post), JCPenney asked us to create this one on our own. The fashion challenge: Show how you can create three different looks with one pair of skinny jeans. Challenge accepted! Let me show you how I styled skinny jeans 3 ways. Plus, I’m including a video to help explain my styling process.
One question a lot of women wonder is “How do I stop my bra lines from showing?”. It’s certainly a common problem for me too. Many bras have underwire that tends to dig into my skin, making me so uncomfortable on the hot and sticky summer days here in Texas. YUCK! To fix this, I tried the Soma Enbliss Full Coverage Underwire Bra and fell in love!
Surely y’all have picked up on my love for the brand Eliza J, right? I wear their dresses ALL THE TIME because they’re that good. In fact, my assistant Ramsey and I recently wore a few Eliza J dresses here from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’ve worn the brand for several years, so you can even look back at posts like this to see me in this same cute dress pictured but in last season’s color way. Fun Fact: The designers of Eliza J also have a sister line called Harper Rose, which I’ve featured here along with countless other times. Both brands are definitely two of my top favorites to wear! You can find them at most department stores like Nordstrom (widest selection), Dillard’s and Bloomingdale’s. Now let me tell you my 5 reasons to love Eliza J dresses…

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We hosted a casual cocktail party on Saturday night for some dear friends of ours that will be moving back to Dallas. While it was fun, we were exhausted on Sunday and took the entire day off to relax and get some much needed rest. Little known fact about me – I’m a binge watcher! Truth be told, if I have nothing going on, I love to be in my pajamas as soon as possible and settling in for some good shows, which is what we did yesterday. Do you love to binge watch shows? Today I’m listing what I’m watching and of course, I’ll be talking about Amazon Prime Day!
I hope y’all had a great Fourth of July! I had a nice four-day weekend just relaxing at home with Pete. While I love a lazy holiday weekend, it’s taken me a couple of days to get back into my work rhythm. Anyone else? Every month or so, I like to put together an Instagram round up of some things I’ve been up to and cute finds I have been loving. Plus there is a Shopbop Sale Alert in today’s post as well as some final Nordstrom Anniversary Sale strategy before the Early Access launch on Friday. So let’s get into it!

I’m always on the lookout for a dress that I can wear year-round. And I’m happy to say that I found one I love! This denim shirt dress is light and breezy enough for Spring and Summer with sandals or flats, and I thought it would also look very stylish with brown booties in the Fall too. I’m going to have my eye out for a new pair of booties during the upcoming Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for sure. But there’s so many things I love about this denim shirt dress, so I want to share all my thoughts with you.
Hello Monday, Hello SUMMER! Now that it is officially Summer, let’s talk about this season’s most classic trend – Gingham. I love gingham because it’s trendy but also timeless. It has been a staple since the 50s and 60s, and now there are so many modern options too. This chic pattern adds so much dimension and interest to any look, so it’s great to add to your closet. The best part about the gingham trend is that it works at all price points and in all different colors. You can wear it as an accent in a handbag or shoe, or go for a full on gingham look with a dress or statement pant like mine (sold out but similar here). Now let’s discuss all the ways you can wear the gingham trend this Summer!
I’ve definitely mentioned more than once that I love cute shirt dresses! They are just so easy, versatile and classic. I think we all can appreciate a simple work to weekend option that’s polished with both structure and femininity. Shirt dresses are light and loose, so they will conceal any problem areas for you. Or if you want to define your waist, try a belted shirt dress like mine (sold out but similar here). So why are shirt dresses so great? Let me tell you!
Around this time of year, I often get asked for suggestions of flattering shorts! I think because a lot of us have a hard time finding shorts that are age appropriate but also stylish. My days of short shorts are no more, as I prefer a longer pair like many of you do too. So today I wanted to share with y’all my favorite shorts options and how to wear them at any age! But before I do that, I must let you guys know that today is the first day of Talbots‘ Friends & Family Summer Sale event! Just use the code FRIENDS at checkout for 40% off your entire purchase from today through this Sunday, June 23.
