It seems like Kyle and I have been nonstop lately.
Wedding season is in full force!

Thankfully this weekend we won't be traveling and will get to spend lots of time with family!
I'm a little in shock that Thanksgiving is THIS week, like...WHUT? how did that happen?
It will still be a super busy one for us though!

I'm currently going through this phase where I want to change everything in our home.
I'm all about neutrals -- whites and grays and then random accent colors.
So don't be surprised if you start seeing a whole lot of before & afters on here..
Kyle just painted our red TV stand/chest white this past weekend,
it was gorgeous, but just didn't quite fit the look I was going for.
We can't be changing too much though because, God willing, we'll be moving soon.
I'm SO ready to be in a new place, closer to work!
Prayers that we'll find something soon are much appreciated --
we've only been looking for forever - __ -

But anyways,
Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Model of the month

Top: ShopMCE | Flannel: Billabong[similar] | Jeans: LuLus | Shoes: OnlineShoes

If you follow my store on Instagram 

i'm sure you saw that I did a little photoshoot with one of my girlfriends recently!

and y'all...it kind of changed my life.

It's been really hard for me to grow my business Instagram, and really get the images that I want...

It's super hard to get the exact pictures that I want when i'm modeling my own clothes.

I always have a vision in mind -

What I want the picture to look like, how I want the clothes to lay on the body, 

how I want the model standing, and how I want the background to be...

But being the model & having a friend (who's NOT a photographer)

take the pictures makes that a pretty hard job.

My pictures always come out decent, but just not the vision I had in mind. 

I'm not at the point where I can hire a professional model, 

BUT I do have some pretty gorgeous friends.

The only problem is....

I'm only off on Mondays, and well the  majority of my friends work on Mondays.

However, the other week I convinced one of my friends to "work from home"

so she could model for me!

and guys...it was A W E S O M E.

I was able to direct and use my creativity to get the exact shots I wanted,

and I seriously loved every minute of it.

and my friend Liz had an awesome time as well.

I mean what girl wouldn't enjoy wearing cute clothes and being a model for a day?!

Which is how I came up with the idea of....

Having a different model every month.

A Model of the Month if you will.

So with all of that being said...

If any of you babes live in the Houston area and would be interested 

in being a model of the month (which is actually just a day or 2 of LOTS of picture taking)

let me know and we can talk details! 

Would love to meet some of you! 

Let's Talk Rompers -- and discount codes.

I used to think that I couldn't pull off rompers...

Until I put one on and realized it was the most comfortable thing in the world.

At that point I said "F it" and I've been wearing rompers regularly ever since. 

I mean it's basically a onesie that you can show off your legs in.

I'd say that's a win win situation.

Speaking of rompers, i'm having a 20% off sale on my website on all rompers.

Just use code "Romp20" at checkout!

PS: Do y'all notice anything different? hehehe

Celebrating Fall in my favorite Summer Sandals

Top: LuLus | Skirt: Forever21 [cute option]| Sandals: [similar] | Necklace: LuLus

Well guys, it's October and it's still about 90 degrees here in Houston,

so this outfit is about as Fall as it's gonna get for now.

I'm DYING to whip out my infinity scarves and boots but it just aint happening for us yet. 

How was everyones weekend?!

Mine was great - 

I worked saturday then got to grab a late lunch & catch up with my sweet girlfriend.

Sunday was spent with Kyle and Charley, catching up on Netflix & eating lots of take out.

We're currently watching Blacklist and it's SO good!

Anyone else watching that right now?!

We are totally obsessed. 

I'm also watching Greys Anatomy [on my own] - Kyle just couldn't get into it.

I'm about to finish Season 3, and I cry hysterically just about every episode, UGH, it's just so good.

which reminds me, I need to go watch a few episodes....

Happy Monday y'all!!

Change, kind of

Tunic: ShopMCE | Leggings: similar | Wedges: similar

Guys, I love my job.

One of my favorite customers brought in her husband today 

and they told me they want to adopt me.

Ha!

But really, I would consider letting them - such an adorable little couple.

The lady is probably mid 70's and she has legit rainbow hair..talk about #goals.

Lately i've been all about changes. 

I usually hate change -- but currently i'm embracing the crap out of it.

Like - my blog is in the midst of a makeover, and i'm wanting my store to get one as well...

I kind of just want to change up everything in my life right now.

Anyone else go through these phases, or am I a maniac?

Kind of want to color my hair dark again...

Kind of want a sleeve of tattoos...

Kind of want to become vegan...

[LOL that'll never happen]

Kind of want to want to eat McDonalds for every meal...

Kind of want to start a new Netflix show...

Kind of want to watch Greys Anatomy every day for the rest of my life...

Ya feel me?

Well, I hope all of you enjoy your weekend!

I'll be working, per usual -- followed with some drinking -- per usual. 

Keep it real y'all. 

blah.

Okay y'all I almost didn't share this outfit because the pictures don't do it justice.
I could not look normal this day in photos for some reason, but whatever.

I'm ALL about buns lately.
Probably because I hate washing my hair -- but thats beside the point.
Buns are totally trendy right now so even though I may be dirty -- at least I look on trend?

SO I wear these jeans pretty regularly,
would y'all buy them if I got some similar in my store!?
I'm trying to bring in more jeans/leggings so let me know what y'all would be interested in!
Happy Thursday y'all!

We've almost made it to the weekend!

Happy Fall Y'all.

How cute is this aztec vest? 

I sold it in my shop last year and I'm REALLY hoping I can get more.

Also, these shoes are my all time Fall favs. 

I scored them a couple years ago at DSW...

Searched everywhere for this same pair but couldn't find them.

Here are some cute options though.

here. here. and here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's officially Fall, and i'm over here sweating my ass off in a tank top.
That's what I get for living in Houston though right?
I've never been more ready for the cooler weather y'all.
I'm not going to lie - i'll admit i've been working a little too hard on my winter bod lately.
I MUST start working out again.
My 2 hour commute to work every day has really put a damper on my work out schedule.
And by that I mean - I have no work out schedule.
But hey, i'm still alive and healthy and all is good in my little world.
However, I do hope to bring some more fitness posts to y'all in the near future!

It's officially Friday and it's officially raining cats & dogs here.
Which i'm totally loving.
I've got a little day date with one of my besties after work tomorrow -
we are LONG overdue.
I'll be sure to fill y'all in on Monday about how exciting or not exciting my weekend was.
Ha!
Fingers crossed that it's at least a tad exciting.

Happy Friday! 

Three Years...

Top: WindsorStore | Jeans: LuLus | Booties: ShopMCE | Choker: LuLus

It's the little things in life and marriage that really make it worth while. 

Today marks three years since Kyle asked me to be his wife, 

and although there have been many rough patches along the way...

I have never been more proud to call him my husband.

Marriage is no joke y'all,

and there is NO such thing as a perfect couple.

Kyle and I may have 100 different struggles and stresses and things on our minds right now-

but it's the little things that get us through each day.

He walked in this morning as I was getting ready for work-

looking a hot mess and blasting Texas county music. 

Half my hair was on top of my head, half my makeup was applied,

and I was wearing my grungy "get ready" clothes.

He picked me up and held me for a minute - 

and then started dancing around our dirty bathroom, with me wrapped around him. 

That. 

That's what matters. That's what makes all the hard times worth while. 

the little moments that don't necessarily come often, but mean everything. 

I love you because you make me laugh, 

but I love you more because you love me like Jesus does. 

Thanks for asking me to spend forever with you Kyle Reagan. 

Tuesday Shmuesday

Top: LuLus | Jeggings: Forever21 | Booties: ShopMCE

This was one of my casual looks from last week, 

I wore pajamas all day yesterday so unfortunately my outfit was totally not post worthy.

How was everyones Monday?!

Gosh, I LOVE my Mondays off.

Even though it's my day to do laundry, clean & grocery shop--

it's still nice to have a day to myself.

Charley and I had a nice little 30 minute sun bathing sesh.

Then it was time for all my wifely duties.

On a positive note I cooked some damn good lasagna last night

AND made some homemade chicken salad that Kyle & I both loved.

Both are pretty simple recipes...let me know if you'd like me to share!! 

Have a good Tuesday babes!

Braided.

Top: LuLus | Jacket: JCrew [similar] | Jeans: Free People | Booties: Zara

I'm all about braids lately y'all.

Casual, fancy, basic, fishtail, loose, classic...you name it - I love them all. 

Unfortunately for me, I can never seem to do cool braided looks on myself...

But luckily my boutique is located inside of a hair salon and well..need I say more?!

After work Saturday I headed straight to a girlfriends baby shower across town

then got ready for a girls night out on the town. 

I had a girlfriend at work do a boho braid for the baby shower.

I had a semi faux hawk going on in the front and here's the back, 

Then for girls night out my friend Rachel did this little number...

I really wish I could show y'all exactly how these 2 braids were done,

but I have no earthly idea so...

sowwy.

However I'm on a mission to start doing more videos for y'all.

What do y'all think? What would you be interested in seeing?

Make Up Reviews? Get Ready With Me Videos? Fashion Videos? Hair Videos?

You name it and i'll work on it! 

Happy Monday Ladies!
