How I Style My Short Hair

A few months ago, I decided to chop. I haven’t had short hair in a minute and it’s taken me a while to figure out how to style it. But I finally feel like I’ve gotten into a good rhythm with the way I style it so I thought I’d share what I’ve been doing. Let’s be honest, styling short hair can be tricky. But with the right tools and…

My Weekly Outfit Recap

Time for another weekly outfit recap. I’m feeling all the fall vibes right now — even though it’s going to be 96 degrees in Dallas this weekend — so I’ve been gravitating toward pants, sweaters, and dresses. I’m currently loving these high waisted black jeans from Revolve. The fit is so flattering, and you truly can’t go wrong with black denim. Speaking of denim, HOW GOOD are these wide leg…

The Leopard Ballet Flats Taking Me Into Fall

One of my favorite things to do as we head into fall each year is find my shoe staples for the season. Typically, I’ll snag a couple pairs of flats, some boots, and sneakers. This year, I fell in love with these leopard ballet flats from Sam Edelman. For me, this season is all about embracing classic style with a twist. There’s just something about leopard print that feels timeless…

My Favorite 20-Minute Sesame Chicken Recipe

I’ve been making this recipe from Gimme Delicious for at least 3-4 years. My kids love it, but if your kids aren’t fans of spice, you can reduce or skip the sriracha altogether. You can even replace it with a little ketchup for a sweeter sauce. I also like to toss in some small, kid-friendly veggies like chopped carrots, peas, or bell peppers. Usually, I’ll just stir-fry them alongside the…

August Amazon Best Sellers

If you can’t tell, I took some time off sharing my looks this past month. Which is probably why the August Amazon best sellers list is pretty much just things I use around the house like this BISSELL Bagless Canister Vacuum. It’s become the most handy thing to have in our kitchen when my kiddos are eating. Another staple in our home is the Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray.…

What I’m Wearing to Transition Into Fall

Now that we’re finally moving into cooler temps (okay, well, low 90s…), I thought I’d share a look at what I’m wearing to transition into fall. My motto for these weird months before we officially hit fall? Layers. I basically always need to have a light sweater or jacket that I can put on or take off when I need. A few of my favorite jackets as I transition into…

August Best Sellers

We’re back in business with August best sellers! I feel like I’ve got lots to catch up on. Like these cropped wide-leg pants.  The length is perfect for those us who are shorter. Speaking of perfect pants… my favorite Ultra High Rise Ankle Straight Jean were another best sellers last month. And for good reason, they’re super flattering. August was a month of dresses too. When it’s hot in Texas, I turn to…
