Livin’ It Up In That Dallas Heat

Wow…WHAT a weekend. There’s been so much going on in the world (and in Dallas + my personal life) over the past few days that it has been hard to focus on anything but. Have you felt that way or just at all in your life recently? Sometimes life and this world can stop us in our tracks and knock us off our feet. Like, the world expects everything to keep going on as usual, but you’re like, WAIT I need a pause button people!

Sometimes I just feel like sitting on the couch and letting it all sink in. Sometimes when things get a little out of control, I really struggle to focus on anything but what I’m feeling and thinking…and my productivity goes to crap. Sorry, I don’t mean to be negative at all! I just wanted to fill you on why I’ve been a little bit MIA and totally let the ball drop on getting this post up yesterday. But hopefully you can imagine or understand where I’m coming from.

My hope is that by now, you’ve realized that I update my daily instagrams (at least every other day – might not be immediate, but it’s pretty fast!) over on my “instagram” page so that you can shop this round up in more real time. But if not, check it out 🙂 So these round ups are more so becoming a copy and paste activity as a way of filling y’all in all you might have missed over the past week or couple of weeks!

how cute are these earrings? I absolutely LOVE them! And I don’t usually love orange and black together, but for some reason I’ve loved wearing them with black lately. I also like how they look with a white tee and jeans 🙂

If you haven’t heard me rave about this dress….YOU GUYS! Is it NOT the absolute cutest? I love EVERYTHING about it!  And actually, I should wear it again (like ASAP) because it’s just so stinkin’ cute.

You can’t see it here but the back of this shirt has a cute cut-out-ish design and I really LOVE! It’s  perfect for that summer heat and running around town. BUT could also be cute with statement earrings, white jeans, and wedges for going out with friends!

Such an easy shirt and it also comes in black and TWO shades of grey! It’s an easy throw-on that’s got a little extra detail than your typical basic tee, which is fun. I will say, though, that it’s a tad bit low-cut so if those types of things bother you, I would try it with a strapless bra (without any pushup action) or maybe it’s just not for you! Either way, it’s still cute and worth a shot if you’re able to wear casual wear on a regular basis 🙂

You guys were SO amaze about helping me pick out this dress on snapchat (follow me here!) – and of course (!) I took your advice and wore the one y’all loved the most! And it was a major hit at the wedding! I didn’t post this one on instagram, but here’s another look if you want a better view of the dress. It’s a great one – I love the lace-detailing!

I have this shirt in 4 colors – it’s pretty thin which, is great for summer! And I personally love the high-neck! It would be great for business casual attire with some pixie pants (I used to wear these ones all the time at PwC!)

I wore this running around town on Sunday and it’s just perfect! It’s under $50 (#PraiseHands) and just such an EASY throw-on-and-go! I will say though that the front can also be a little low-cut so I wouldn’t recommend if that’s something you’re super worried about But I DO have it in three colors 🙂 Also these wedges are on sale for under $40 right now! I would size UP a 1/2 size in them!

I posted this because I realized that one of my FAVE little black tee’s was ON SALE for $19 and available in ALL sizes 🙂

coral blouse on sale for $26!

Like I mentioned on insta last night, I realize y’all are probs so sick of seeing me wear this top SO STINKIN’ much but it’s so good! And yes, I have it in like 6 colors…but it’s on sale for $26 and just SO GOOD! It’s the same one I’m wearing in the photo below too!

July_06__2016_at_0922PM

like i said, that same stinkin top again….lol

my new hair extensions - I'm obsessed!

Did you see on snapchat (and insta last night!)?! I got extensions for my hair and I LOVE them! I didn’t really want length but just a little more thickness so I could do more …and just for ME. If you’re interested, the girl who did it is ASHLEY W at FORM salon. Their number is 214-369-2500 – call to make a consultation with Ashley if you’re interested….OR you can text her directly but I just want to say that she’s a SUPER busy lady. So if you’re seriously interested, then text her (and tell her you loved my hair!). her cell is 214-606-6844.

military jacket on sale

shoot y’all….I just checked and this jacket is only available in size small (I’m wearing size XS). But I did some research and this one is on sale for $52 and still available in a few sizes. Also, I have this one (comes in petite, but I have Reg XS) – it’s not on sale but it’s GREAT – the fabric is stretchy and the cut is flattering…I love it. The only thing is that the color is a TAD different, but not sure how particular you are about the color – I like it.

Not sure if these lace up heels were ever on your radar, but if so they’re still in stock and avail in MOST sizes!

I still am in awe when I look at this photo – it just BLOWS me away how beautiful this place was…I cannot WAIT to go back! I wanted to let y’all know that my Banff city guide and a few outfits from the trip are on their way to the blog (hopefully THIS week!)
