Hey guys! So I've actually been sitting on these photos for a few weeks, but I spent all weekend working on my house so it seemed fitting to finally update y'all on what's been going on with my bedroom decorating process.

Plus, I've never dedicated an entire blog post to talking strictly about what to wear to a BLACK TIE wedding. So I thought it was about time to add…

I'm still getting warmed up the fact that it's ACTUALLY June - even though we're pretty much one solid week in. But with June comes the official start of summer - it's the real deal. The temps have started to rise (MAJOR) in Dallas and lately all I've been wanting to throw on is an easy dress.
