That 70s Vibe



Dress: Nasty Gal (on major sale) / Boots: Steve Madden / Purse: Chloe Mini Marcie

 

 

The weather this past weekend was amazing so we decided last minute to do a road trip down to Galveston, Texas. Even though the beaches here lack that clear, blue water quality, it's still a great place for a mini weekend getaway for family and couples alike. My favorite thing to do in Galveston is exploring the heart of the island, which is, the historic Strand District. The Strand offers an array of cute little shops, antique stores, and a boast of restaurants that are still housed in Victorian era buildings. I always feel like I am in a mini New Orleans when I visit the Strand District. After lunch, we stumbled upon this cute urban gem, Deborah's Garden. Obviously, we had to stop to sneak a peak at what's inside and snap a few pictures. 

I really love the 70s print on this dress I snatched on Nasty Gal a few weeks ago on sale. The print is so fun and go so well with my OTK boots.

 

Thank you for stopping by and happy Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday!
One of my favorite summer staples would be a cute romper. If I am in a hurry to leave the house, I'd most likely reach out for one of my rompers. Easy to throw on, no need to mix and match your top and bottom, and super comfortable for all day wear. I especially love all the pleating details on the bottom portion of this romper and the parrot print is just adorable!

Thank you so much for stopping by as always!

Dress: Lovers + Friends / Purse: Loeffler Randall / Sunglasses: Prada / Sandals: Zara 


This super late post was when we had our girl's trip to San Francisco a few weeks ago and did a little wine tour in Sonoma and Napa Valley. For the most part, I really enjoyed the tour. Especially the early morning trip to Muir Woods to see all the beautiful Redwood trees before we made our way into wine country. The wine tour was great as well but a little rushed at each winery. I think next time, we will just do our own tour so that we can stay for as long as we'd like. 

I decided to bring this mosaic print Lovers + Friends dress along to wear to the winery. This dress has been on major repeat all month long. It makes such a great dress to just throw on and go. Also super comfortable!

I am already missing San Francisco so much. It's such a great city!

Summer to me is all about the light, silky dresses and simple sandals.

 

This Juicy Couture dress was an accidental buy. I was actually searching online one night for this dress and somehow, found the one I'm wearing on top through a site called Poshmark. I have heard of it before but have never attempted to check it out. It is sort of like Ebay but all fashion related. It's basically a cool and simple site for you to shop other fashionista's closet or sell items from your own closet as well. A few messages back and forth with a super nice seller, and this baby was mine. A lot of the items I saw in this site were pre-owned, but this dress was listed as New Without Tag (not sure if it's totally true). This dress is an older season, so it was sold to me at a pretty decent penny.

 

Have you found any great deals lately, new or used?

I finally did it.

After months of contemplating on chopping off my locks, I finally took the plunge. I am having a love/hate relationship with my new do. Some days, with the crazy heat, it feels so nice to have less weight on my head. Other days, I miss the lesser maintenance that comes with long hair (I actually have to straighten it everyday now to keep my hair from looking like a mushroom. I know, I know, it's just the lazy me whining). Perhaps it just needs some getting used to. It's been a long time since I've had it this short. 

 

The summer heat is slowly creeping up on us Houstonians. This outfit is something I wear often in the summer months. It's light and simple for a day full of errands and still put together for a dinner and movie kind of night.

It's safe to say I adore printed pants and am sort of a printed pants-a-holic. You can dress them up or down for both day and night and are so comfortable. They are perfect for travel pants and were definitely my go to bottoms for my latest trip to the Dominicans and will be for the rest of spring and summer (and maybe fall too!).
