Yesterday the weather didn't get above ninety degrees which means it's officially feeling like fall here in Texas. Fall for us is pretty hot still, but I'm telling you below ninety feels amazing right about now. Since the weather is still a little warm, and I'm a firm believer that ice cream and popsicles should be consumed year round, I made you the perfect fall popsicle that can be enjoyed in forty degrees or a hundred. My pumpkin pie crumble popsicles are going to be your new favorite pumpkin treat to whip up for yourself all season long!
To top off the cooler weather this week, I also received the most gorgeous package in the mail from JORD Wood Watches. I have always had a thing for wooden accessories and when JORD reached out about partnering, I jumped at the chance! Cooking and keeping a watch on the time go hand in hand and it sure doesn't hurt that this watch happens to be gorgeous in every way!
I could use a date night in my life. Canean and I haven't had much of a chance to do anything together lately and I think tonight we are finally going to make it happen. I am ready to get fixed up , eat a yummy meal, and hang out with my favorite guy. I have partnered with The Mint Julep Boutique to show you one of my favorite date night looks and I'm giving away a $20 gift card!
You might already be familiar with The Mint Julep Boutique, and if so then you should be super excited to enter the giveaway because you already know that they have great clothes and the prices are affordable! There is something for every style and that's what I love the most.
At first glance, this scarf and I were not friends...in fact I was not a fan of it at all. But for some reason I couldn't stop looking at it or thinking about it. What I originally didn't like was that it was a flag...hello Fourth of July. I couldn't see past the fireworks. But then I started to notice the vintage feel of these stars and stripes. There was something about the antique white stripes mixed in and I could slowly start to imagine it having a home in my closet.
It still felt American, but in a whole new way. A way that I could totally see it mixed in to my already boho wardrobe adding a unexpected twist.
Why do we only wear American flag "things" on the Fourth of July anyway? There is something really special about what our flag represents..so why not wear it all year long?
Well that's what I'm going to start doing. I'm going to wear this scarf whenever I gosh darn feel like it whether people pledge allegiance to me or not.
I mean this scarf mixed with a delicate fabric and a good mix of cuffs and bangles...yeah, I'd say I'm going to be sporting this accessory all summer long.
Wardrobe favorites that is. Everybody has them. Pieces that are your go-to, buy five colors of staples. Items that get way more attention than the rest of your closet. I am guilty of playing favorites when it comes to fashion. And really no matter what the fashion trends are, these same items keep their spot as number one in the favorites department, I just change the way I wear them.
For me, I tend to collect white t-shirts, bohemian jewelry, cargos, booties, and leather bags. They can all work together, but they are also versatile and can be transformed from casual to dressy in a flash.
They are easy. I like easy when it comes to fashion. Easy is good.
Can we talk about why these tights are my new favorite wardrobe addition? They were an early Christmas present from my best friend. She saw them and knew that I had to have them and turns out she was right, because I basically want to wear them everyday.
Look at those owls. Could they be any cuter?
Let me back track for a moment so I can tell you where my love of owls came from. My Mom-Mom collected owls and now my mom has quite a bit of her collection. I love them because I feel like it connects the three of us together. Over the years I have started my own owl collection in my house and in my wardrobe and these tights fit in just right.
When I was in high school I bought a solid white leather pant/jacket outfit with silver studs on the shoulders and thought I was pretty cool. Now looking back, I am not sure that "cool" was the correct word to describe the outfit, I'm pretty sure it was closer to an Elvis impersonator outfit, ha. If you had asked my best friend, she would have thought it was pretty rad, but that is only because she had a solid teal leather outfit...who did we think we were at 17? Sometimes I need to remember to be that fearless 17 year old who simply loved fashion. Bottom line...I was going to wear what I wanted to wear because it made me feel good.
