Hey guys what a week! I’ve been so busy trying to catch up and get ready for the weekend. We are headed to Dallas for a small weekend trip. I’m so excited that we will be stopping at Magnolia Market along the way and then staying at the Westin in Dallas. I love weekend getaways with my family. Check out my last post on our visit to Magnolia Market (video tour).  This week I reached another blogging milestone and hit 10k on my fashion Instagram. I have been building it up almost two years now and it has finally caught up to my fitness Instagram.  So in leu of reaching this milestone I thought it might be good to do a little “10 things you don’t know about me” to give you a little insight on who I am, and the funny little things that make who I am. So enjoy!

This weekend flew by. First, we bought a new vanity desk for my office. It was on sale for 20% off this weekend at Target, and it fit perfect with my whole office set up. You can see it here on my Instagram. And on Sunday, we had the privileged of attending to Octoberfest at the King’s Biergartin with VIP media passes. It was so much fun, and the food was amazing! We even got a souvenir beer glass! The weekend definitely flew by but thank goodness for Columbus day, and for having the hubs home early from work, because this Monday will be a lazy day in for our little fam bam.

Now back to the most comfortable lace up booties ever. Continue reading “The Most Comfortable Lace-up booties for Fall – 4Eursole”

What a busy weekend it was for us. We celebrated one of my best friend’s birthday who is also Jayden’s God mother. They just moved in their gorgeous new home down here, and we are so glad to have them back in Texas. We grew up together and have known each other since kindergarten. Can’t believe that was 23 years ago! This weekend has also been amazing because of  the cooler weather. I can’t believe it is already October and that means pumpkin everything! I’m already contemplating what we should be for Halloween this year. Any ideas? We are leaning towards a Star Wars theme this year.  Aside from pumpkins and Halloween this month, I am also excited about finally bringing out my scarves to accessorize my outfit with. Scarves are one of my favorite accessories for fall. Check out how I styled this outfit below with this blanket scarf. Continue reading “The Best Blanket Scarves for Fall”

5 Steps to Making Fitness a Priority in Your Life

5 Steps to Making Fitness a Priority in Your Life

This past month after stepping down from managing full time at Buckle to working part time, I decided to make more of a focus on my fitness. For the longest time I was not happy with how my body was. Last year after loosing all my baby weight and getting back to where I was before the baby I put fitness on the back burner. For a whole year I did not go to the gym, rather did at home work outs when I could. I was constantly busy with juggling being a mom and growing my business with blogging, I didn’t have time to eat right or go to the gym. I started to loose my muscles and my curves. It wasn’t until I could no longer fit into adult sizes that I started to realize how small I had gotten. Shopping isn’t fun when you have to shop in the kid section. Finally I knew I had to make a change.

Hey guys, hope everyone had a great weekend. Unfortunately the rain cancelled some of our outdoor plans this weekend, but it gave us an excuse to stay in with family and watch football all day. Currently I have been obsessed with pleather leggings and platform heels, and lucky for me as a mom on a budget I found some for under $50. In fact these pleather leggings are on sale for $10! For a momma on the go and living in this Texas heat, this is one  pair of leggings that won’t restrict you. It is the perfect light weight leggings that will make you feel sexy this fall.

The Perfect Oversize sweater

Guys my heart has been heavy lately with all that is going on with on the news. As a blogger I feel God has given me my voice needs to be used to help those who cannot speak for themselves. Whether you agree or disagree with all the things that have been happening lately I hope we can all agree we need change. I pray that every one of us has the strength to stand up for what is right even when no one is looking, or listening. That we use the gifts God has given us to help those less fortunate. I pray as we come closer to elections that our country can come together and not be divided. I pray for peace. With all that being said I hope to inspire every one of you to be the difference the world needs today.

Now off of my soap box and back to what ya’ll all came here to read, the perfect oversized sweater for fall. Check out this look below and how I styled it with my favorite flare jeans!

Happy Monday! Hope you guys had a great weekend! Today I want to talk about one of my favorite trends for fall: camo. If there is one thing about being a Texas girl in the fall is that camo is always in. However this year it is actually making a fashion statement world-wide and is one of the hottest trends for fall. The olive patterns compliment any skin color. When I saw this camo jacket from Buckle (sorry it is already sold out, but linked similar styles below), I knew I had to have it. Not only is it a fun fashion statement, but it is also a great lightweight jacket you can dress up or dress down for the fall. Here is a fashionable way to dress up this camo jacket for a fun look for fall. Continue reading “How to Dress Up The Camo Jacket”
