Before I got engaged, I knew changing up my routine would be necessary & I wanted to look my best, but at the same time while you’re budgeting, emailing, planning, coordinating you ALSO have do everything I can to make sure my skin is GLOWING and blemish free on wedding day? It began to become a little overwhelming.
That’s why, along with my girl Ali Patek (@aestheticnurseali) and SkinSpirit, I'm sharing everything we did to prep my skin for wedding day. I planned my wedding in plenty of time a year and a half, but we didn’t really kick things in to high gear until 6 months before
Hot off the press!!!! Revolve has some next level transitional Fall fashion finds that I can’t wait to share with you all. For the first time in a long time, I wore pants in Austin this week & that little taste of Fall has me so excited for the fun outfits to come.
You’re ready for the most fun part- finding the perfect dress! Now I’m going to share with you some dress shopping tips so your bases are totally covered!
You’re asking your besties to stand by your side on your big day, which is an honor, so while you shouldn’t sweat every detail, some pre-planning will go a long way.
Pick your squad.
The rule of thumb is to have a maid of honor and a few closest friends, but I think you can do things how YOU want since it’s your big day. I did things my way & went a little unconventional.
It’s that time of year, WEDDING SZN!!!!
If you’re heading to an engagement party, a bachelorette, bridal shower or a wedding- I have some ideas for you.
There’s nothing more special than being showered with a customized gift just for you from someone who loves you deeply. @weddingfavorites has you covered. They have the cutest & coolest customizable designs for brides & bridesmaids. I’m truly obsessed:
Let’s get honest, wedding planning is overwhelming. Most people only do it once, so it’s not something that you are a master at right away. At work & in life I’m all about streamlining processes to save myself time. I have text expanders at work, I have text edits for my blog posts & now I have templates for wedding planning that I’ll share with you to save you a bit of time.
“Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” actually had it’s perks. Over the years i’ve been in and attended more weddings than I can count. One of the perks of watching so many of my friends walk down the aisle before me is seeing what works and what doesn’t. When it comes to spending $ I’ve seen firsthand when it’s worth it and when it isn’t. I’ve been doing tons and tons of research in my downtime, grabbed a bunch of tips from my friends and many of my followers who’ve said “I do” & we want to save you from making some of the financial mistakes the ladies before you have made. So without further adieu… here they are.
It can be so overwhelming of knowing where to start. You have friends who did things one way, another who did it another, your family members and friends in your ear asking about it already- you’re overwhelmed. Well, girlfriend that’s totally ok. I FEEL IT.
That said, I’d like to think there’s ways to make it easier on yourself and with that I AM GOING TO MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU. My plan is to document the shit out of my wedding planning process to EASE it for other brides to be. I have spreadsheets, templates and much more for you & i’ll be sure to share it ALL over the next YEARS.
Wow it feels so surreal saying I have a fiancé, but WOW it’s true. I’ll hold off from boring you all and get straight in to the good stuff… so how’d it happen?
Saturday was like any normal day. We woke up, worked out, made breakfast, went on a walk and lounged around until we had to get ready for the evening. I thought Jeremy and I were heading to grab a drink at a new spot near Zilker Park with our friends Ryan and Bri before grabbing dinner with them nearby.
Spending the holidays in Dallas this year, we had the best stay at Sheraton Dallas. We were in Dallas to spend time with Jeremy’s family & decided to stay in the heart of town to soak up the long weekend.
If you haven’t been to Dallas, it’s a really fun city with tons to do. I have a running list of new restaurants to try, there’s some really amazing museums, parks & tons of fun events in town. Be sure to check out my instagram guide for an updated list here.
Ok y’all! Let’s take a moment to talk about my favorite sparkling water. Cascade Ice sparkling Water comes in 19 different flavors. They are sugar-free, gluten free, non-GMO & zero calories.
I try my best to always stay hydrated & drink a gallon of water a day, but once I get to lunch time, I want something more than still water. Cascade Ice is the thing I always reach for in my fridge on a hot day & let me tell you there are so many hot days in Texas.
Sip, sip, rosé! It's that time of the year & things are heating up. The first thing I think of when the weather starts to warm is grabbing a glass of rosé & heading to the pool. I recently picked up a few bottles of #PomeloWines rosé & let's just say I'm obsessed. It's crisp, light & perfect for day drinking.
let’s be real- it’s impossible to not get bored with your partner in quarantine. we are stuck inside (for the most part) and are probably spending more time than ever with our partners. i, for one, hate when i feel like my relationship gets too predictable. another night watching a movie, another night eating our normal meals, another night on the couch.
I am all about getting amazing gifts for friends and family. Things that are tried and true & they will actually use often and absolutely love! Here are some of my favorites for this year, even if it’s last minute, these should do the trick!
as most of you all know i recently moved to austin, and since i moved here i’ve hit the ground running. i have had so many friends visit, met so many new people and have truly been eating and drinking my way through the city. many people have reached out to me for my tips of what to do when you visit, so i’ll share with you my tip top choices.
spring is in full swing & i am pumped about it. sunshine, heat and dresses are my jam & i can finally wear them on the daily. the season’s here in austin are intense, but i really feel like my mood changes for the better with the sunny weather. i love being outside in the sun & i’ve been trying to get as much of it as i possibly can.
it’s been a minute since i’ve taken the time to sit down with y’all on the blog. i’ve been instastorying my life away, that i wanted to hop on here to share some looks with ya. since moving- my style has definitely shifted. it’s warm as hack & let’s be real, sometimes not everyone is in the mood to wear bright colors and florals in the spring and summer months. there are certain days i want to be edgy, some days i want to be more sporty & others that i want to try something totally new. since moving to austin, i’ve had to get creative with my looks, because it’s warming up & i can’t wear my normal jeans and a tee uniform like i could when i lived in san francisco.
it’s that time of year! wedding season, bachelorette and bridal party time! since i’ve done wardrobe styling for years, my friends typically come to me for outfit recommendations when it comes to all things wedding!
today i want to share with you my favorite looks this year for the bachelorette, bridal shower, welcome dinner/drinks, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner & day after brunch. so many looks!
you know i love me a good rocker tee. i live in them, especially in the summer months. i always get asked where i find my tees, and to be honest, i find them all over! i’ll be linking all my favorites with you all at the bottom of this post.
city girls know the struggle for finding the perfect work clothes that are versatile. public transport, scooters, walking, bikes, busses- we need outfits that work for just about everything! i’ve found that the perfect work combo for me is sneakers or low boots, paired with my favorite stretchy jean (stretch is key when walking a ton), a simple tee and a jacket for layering (but not too heavy since us city girls know you get sweaty AF if it’s too warm).
