Do you have any special plans for Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day? Well today I’ve made your planning easier and gathered gift ideas and what to wear below. There are options for something casual, dressy, or even a cozy night in. Plus, find the perfect items to order as a gift for yourself too!
While stuck at home during our snow days, I tried on everything that arrived while I was on my trip to South America. Pardon the informal iPhone pics but I wanted to get this posted in a timely manner. I know it’s hard to believe, but Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Today I want to look at some of my new favorite outfit finds for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, and beyond. Personally, I wear heart items year round. Just because it isn’t Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you can’t spread the love!
It is the last week of January … can you believe it?? It seems like 2026 is off to a fast start. It is very cold in Dallas, so be sure and bundle up in your winter sweater style. Speaking of style, today I want to talk about the winter white dress that you need in your wardrobe. This is a classic wardrobe piece that you can get use of all season long and even into spring. Let’s take a look.
There is nothing like shopping with friends! This is why today I teamed up with my dear friend Alicia Wood of Alicia Wood Lifestyle to discuss friendship and Partners Card. What is Partners Card? It’s a surefire way to save money! From October 30 – November 8 use your Partners Card to save 20% at participating retailers and 10% at participating restaurants. There’s even a way to shop online!
Happy Wednesday! Today is a fashion and health combo post. Who doesn’t love a good 2 for 1!? I want to dive into why you need sun protection year-round. You may remember my skin cancer story (read it here), so this topic is near and dear to me. It is a myth that once the summer sun is gone, so is our risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Just because we are wearing a jacket doesn’t mean that we aren’t getting those harmful rays! That is why it is so important to make wearing UV protection clothing and sunscreen a habit all year long. Dr. Jill Feetham weighed in on this during our IGTV chat which you can view HERE. Don’t worry, you don’t have to sacrifice your style to remain safe!
Have you seen the Netflix series EMILY IN PARIS? I tend to share what I’m currently watching on my Instagram Stories and my followers love it. This fashion infused story about Emily Cooper (actor Lily Collins, yes she is Phil Collins daughter) being transported to Paris, France for a one-year marketing exec dream job is fast paced, witty and hits all the dreamy Parisian hot spots. Season one is a short 10 episodes and features Paris as a setting but I see it as one of the main characters. Think ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ meets ‘Sex In The City’. Did I mention how dreamy actor Lucas Bravo is (he plays neighbor Gabriel)?! I digress… This comedy series has led to an onslaught of interest in Paris, France because it was filmed there. For that reason, I am revisiting our first trip to Paris today. Enjoy!
Hey Thursday! Yesterday was the longest day ever. Have you had days like that? It was good to get caught up with a dear friend of mine over a two hour lunch. If this pandemic year has taught me anything it’s to slow down and spend time with family and friends. And to embrace this slower pace! I think its here to stay for a while… Let’s talk favorite products since there are so many sales going on. Today I will detail my current favorite products for this month’s product roundup. There’s a few special discount codes in today’s post too!
It can be so hard to find stylish clothes and jewelry that are well-made and also timeless. Recently, I discovered Fort Worth-based JAG Jewelry and Goods and they fit the bill! JAG offers so many flattering, comfortable and chic looks that are the perfect addition to my fall wardrobe. An even bigger reason to love this brand is that they donate a portion of their proceeds to Justin’s Place; a non-profit whose mission is to empower and support single mothers to impact the life of a child and end generational poverty. Now that’s a new brand that I want to share with my audience!
This post is an update to a previous post. WHY? Because we just got back from Walt Disney World and want to share with you our experience. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post, you will see that I was there in October 2019. What a difference one year makes! Who would have thought that we would still be dealing with Covid-19. You can travel and you can go to Walt Disney World – safely! Today, let’s focus on how to navigate Disney World safely in 2020.
With social distancing still alive and well, it is tough to see your loved ones on a regular basis; especially if they live far away. A floral arrangement is the perfect gift to send loved ones. Whether it is a new baby, a birthday, condolences or even a way to show you are thinking of them – it’s sure to brighten their day. The problem is that when your loved one lives in another city or state, you don’t want to risk sending flowers from a florist that you don’t trust. I count on UrbanStems as my go-to flower delivery service. They provide contactless delivery for their beautiful floral arrangements nationwide. You can always count on the quality and care that goes into each arrangement. I love quality consistency – especially when it comes to gift giving. Right now, get 15% off your order plus FREE shipping with code TANYA15. This offer is good now through 10/31, so take advantage of it!

Howdy! I’m back with my second installment about the Big Bend, Texas road trip. Last week I told you about The Local Chapter and how we spent most of the week glamping while exploring Terlingua and the Big Bend area. We had a couple of days to explore Marfa and the surrounding areas of Alpine and Marathon, Texas. Why? Let me explain…
Happy Thursday! We’re almost to Friday – yippee! You may have read my post last week about blue looks for your fall weddings and events here. Today, I want to look at the perfect red dress for any event. As things start to open back up, we are entering into fall wedding season, so you need a dress that is beautiful and slimming and it just so happens that I have the perfect dress for you.
2020 will be remembered as the year of the road trip. I’m a native Texan and have traveled many places in our great state but I have never been to the Big Bend area. Imagine my excitement when we decided to travel to check out The Local Chapter near Terlingua, Texas. You’ll want to know about this magnificent place and we’re sharing our itinerary.
