Life Update + Date Night

Things are going to be changing a little bit in my world soon!

I officially applied to be a Substitute Teacher this year!

{WOOO HOOOO}

As much as I love being at home, blogging, and running my online boutique.

The income right now just isn't as consistent as I would like...

and to be completely honest, I NEED HUMAN INTERACTION.

I'm hoping I'll hear back from them sometime this week so I can start soon!

Not only am I excited about getting out of the house,

but I actually have an excuse to create a cute look multiple times a week!!

{whoop whoop}

My pregnancy has left me SO tired all the time, 

so this will be a good way to get up and moving and hopefully be more productive. 

Kyle and I went on a little date night on Friday, 

which means I FINALLY washed my hair and changed out of my sweatpants! 

Dress/Wedges/Earrings

We went to Shogun, one of those Japanese Grills where they cook in front of you!

If you've never been to a restaurant like this, you typically sit at a big table with random people.

Kyle and I were the first to arrive, and then a girl and her mom arrived after us and sat by us,

and then a family of four...

I'm leaving out a bunch of little details BUT the main reason i'm telling y'all this story is because....

E V E R Y  S I N G L E person at the table {besides Kyle and I} was on an electronic device

the entire freaking dinner!!!!!!

Guys, it was so weird.

Nobody even said hi to us, and NO ONE was talking,

which made it uncomfortable for Kyle and I to have a conversation because 

they were all sitting at the same table as us and it was SO quiet they could hear every word

that we said to each other.

It was seriously the weirdest and saddest thing. 

Anyways, I'm telling all of you this to say, please don't be those people.

In a world where we're all addicted to our phones and technology, myself included.

DO NOT let it get so bad that you can't even enjoy a dinner with your family.

I'll be the first to admit, that yes, I love social media, and the internet and all of the above.

But I do everything I can to still be in the moment as much as possible,

and to not let it hurt my relationships and friendships.

Hell, I give all of you who are reading this that hang out with me to CALL ME OUT,

if i'm ever with you and i'm not paying attention to you because i'm on my phone.

I D O  N O T ever want to be that person. 

Okay, rant over. 

Time to get off the internet and get some work done and do something outside in this

UH MAZING weather God has been blessing us with lately!

Hope everyone enjoys their Monday!

Embroider[me] please

So I don't know about you, but I cannot get enough embroidery lately!!!

| Top / Jeans / Sandals (similar) |

Tops, jeans, skirts...just take all my money and embroider it ALL.

I am all about this trend, and I do not want it to end.

I scored this beautiful top at Zara for under $40,

and you'll definitely be seeing me in it multiple times this Summer.

I've got some cute little embroidery items coming into my shop soon,

so be sure you're on the look out or following my shop on insta!

Just click here to follow. 

I rocked this little number a few weekends ago when we had a family day,

and were showing my fam our new house and around the neighborhood.

Is it just me or do weekends keep going by faster and faster?
I could've sworn it was Saturday like 10 minutes ago.

I've got some SUPER cute new arrivals going up on my website today!
If you're in need of a one shoulder ruffle top,
or the cutest romper ever...
GO NOW 
{new arrivals will go up around noon today}

Fredericksburg Weekend Recap

Happy Friday!

This past weekend I got to celebrate my amazing sister in law, Michelle.
I got to spend the weekend with such an incredible group of girls
and we had SO much fun drinking wine and telling stories and just laughing our butts off.

We arrived in canyon lake Friday night and had a relaxing night in,

I got the chance to meet a lot of Michelles' close friends for the first time.

They are all SO sweet, 

we spent Friday night drinking margs and catching up/getting to know each other.

Saturday was spent frolicking around the Hill Country drinking lots and lots of wine.

I wore this adorable romper with these Steve Madden wedges that i've literally been 

eyeing for what seems like FOREVER now. 

SO glad I caved and purchased them.

Romper: ShopAtImage | Wedges: Steve Madden via DSW

I don't think the weather could've been any better the entire weekend,
[Shout out to Jesus]
After the wineries we headed back to the house to relax before our dinner reservations.

The weekend went by WAY too fast, as it always does.
But of course i'm happy to be back home.
Hope all of you had an easy breezy week and enjoy your weekend!

Laced lbd

Dress: Tobi | Sandals: ShopMCE | Bag: KateSpade

As mentioned on Instagram, this dress is THE perfect combination of cute and comfy!

I am a huge fan of dresses that I can wear and eat a cheeseburger [or two] in, and still feel fabulous.

I am so in love with the lace details on this dress, it adds that perfect amount of flare to this LBD.

Score this dress and tons of other adorable stuff over at www.tobi.com

The bag I'm carrying is vintage Kate Spade, I got it years ago, and honestly forgot I had it.

How cute is it though? As soon as I saw it lying in my closet, I knew I had to carry it with this look!

Ohhhhhh these sandals, these sandals are from ShopMCE.com and they are undeniably adorable. 

However I won't lie, they do rub your heel on the back, BUT that can be easily fixed.

They also run a little bigger, so if you're going to order yourself some, order at least 1/2 size down!

I wore this little number to my beautiful sister in laws bridal shower this past weekend.

It was a couples shower and I had the pleasure of being one of the hostesses!

Kyle's aunt decorated the place and holy guacamole it was STUNNING!

I've got a busy next few weeks ahead of me!

Doing my stores closeout sale this weekend, then have a bachelorette party next weekend.

Hope everyone is having a w o n d e r f u l week so far! 

Have no fear, Spring is near

Top: Tobi | Jeans: Amuse Society | Shoes: Nordstrom (similar) | Clutch: Kate Spade

First things first, how ADORABLE is this top?!

I fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on it,

I'll definitely be wearing it on repeat all Spring/Summer long!

Oh and guess what? It's only $27 right now and comes in olive as well. 

Get your butt on over to their website y'all > www.tobi.com

In other news, we celebrated my sweet husbands birthday this weekend. 

He turned the big 2-8, and I seriously think he gets better looking every day...

His nana cooked us all a delicious meal and then we went to a little bar in 

North Texas to continue the celebration!

He has been working his butt off lately, and I am seriously SO thankful he's mine.

We've been house hunting like crazy and have already put 4 offers in on houses,

but it just hasn't worked out yet. Which is fine, because I know God has a perfect plan for us.

But sheesh we are just SO ready to be settled in somewhere. 

Just working on being patient and knowing it will happen when it's meant too!

We're heading to the rodeo tonight with some friends to see Sam Hunt,

So I'll be back here tomorrow with a full report on how the concert was, 

what outfit I wore, 

and how many corn dogs I ate!

Stay tuned lovers, 

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

Friday Favors

Dress: ShopMCE | Boots: LuLus | Necklace: Hemline

Howdy y'all!

So, I have a favor to ask of all of you, a prayer request if you will.

Kyle and I have been on the hunt for a new home for quite a while now.

I'm commuting almost 4 hours a day and not only is it taking a toll on the bank account, 

but also on my sanity. 

-- Long story short --

My sweet Mamaw has been living in an assisted living facility for a while now, 

and her house is just kind of sitting there empty.

My parents came up with a genius idea that Kyle & I could live in it, 

pay for the utilities, save up for a house of our own - 

but also work on my Mamaws house while we're living in it, ya know - fix it up a bit 

and just take care of it for her while she's not able to live in it. 

Well, My Mamaw isn't quite herself lately so she didn't take that too well,

and felt as if we were trying to take her house from her.

But in reality it would just be the perfect situation and help all of us out.

It's closer to my job, it would help us save money for a home of our own, 

and we would fix her house up and keep it safe while she's away. 

Today after work i'm going to go visit her and possibly talk to her about it,

so if y'all could say a little prayer for me!

Just pray that if it's Gods will that we move there for a little while that my Mamaw 

will have an open mind and trust that we will take care of her home for her & 

know that we aren't trying to take it away from her.

I know there's power in prayer so hopefully we will have an answer today!

Y'all are the best, thanks for reading this little blog of mine.

Happy Friday!!!

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.

Top: Brandy Melville | Jean Jacket: JCrew | Jeans: CottonOn | Booties: ShopMCE | 

Choker: Forever21

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!
