Crazy Pants
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Do you ever feel like you have a never ending to-do list looming over your head? With my upcoming cruise to Bermuda on Saturday I feel completely overwhelmed. In fact, I have been feeling completely crazy pants (see what I did there) for pretty much as long as I can remember. The ultimate task master, I am not. I get so envious of super on top of it people, like my roommate Adrienne for example. She powers from one thing to the next, never seeming breaking a sweat. I however, as she will most certainly attest, am habitually side tracked, indecisive, and straight up forgetful. But having a scattered mind isn't necessarily always a bad thing. I think it makes me more open to spur of the moment adventures because I'm not so dead set on a certain plan. Flexibility breads creativity which is very important when you are running a blog. So over the next few days I will make all good faith attempts to pack early, make lists of places to visit, and generally get my s#!+ together. But knowing me, my favorite outfit will be the one I didn't plan & the best meal will be a random recommendation from a chatty local I ask for directions (...yes I also get lost, a lot). And even though I'll probably forget to remind her, I know Adrienne will still be at the airport to pick me up :)

TRUCK YARD DALLAS - ICE CREAM
Tuesday, May 26, 2015
How was everyone's Memorial Weekend? I kicked it off right with a pit stop over at one of my Dallas favorites: Truck Yard. This time, rather than my usual beer and sliders, I was in search of a sweet treat - and boy did I find it! Carnival Barkers ice cream is hand made with "no chemicals, fillers, or bullshit added", aka just what the doctor ordered. I opted for the fruity pebbles flavor...because I'm twenty something going on eight. It is that same child like spirit that compels me to wear a dress with pineapples printed all over it (*quite the steal at only 54 dollars I might add).

NORDSTROM HALF YEARLY SALE
Wednesday, May 20, 2015
It's a magical time of year.. the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale! If you're budget is always a little less than you wish like mine always is, then here is my top strategy for stretching the dollar: I live for major sales that allow me to stock up on my favorite things that I might otherwise passover at full price. (Hello expensive candles!) I've spent my morning sipping tea and scrounging the entire sale for the good stuff and these are my top picks.
POP OF NEON
Tuesday, May 19, 2015
I had such a hard time figuring out how to wear this shirt. Sure I can go braless with the best of them when something is backless and or low cut, but in this particular instance it was a no go. I decided to wear this neon bralette underneath bc it was the only option that I felt enhanced rather than took away from the shirt. I love all of the sheer lace and cutouts but I didn't want a full on peep show. What do y'all think of my pop of neon solution?

GLADIATOR IN WHITE
As much as I am in LOVE with this tuxedo romper, today I want to focus on what I'm wearing underneath it. Let's just say I haven't been this excited since I discovered double sided boob tape. I don't know about y'all, but many rompers and I have sadly had to part ways in the dressing room because I simply could not figure out what the F kind under garment situation would be appropriate. When a dress is sheer you wear a slip, but what do wear under a sheer romper?? I give you the Free People seamless romper! Available in white or black, even with a super low back, this little guy is basically a slip with leg wholes and has already become my summer savior.
