IN THE TRENCHES
Nothing says ‘spring’ like a classic trench coat. I look forward to shedding my puffy winter coat and trading it in for timeless trench for the crisp spring days ahead. The best part about a trench coat? Knowing that it doesn’t matter what you layer underneath because the coat says it all… timeless chic. It’s the […]
30TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

They have the cutest private rooms and handle all the set up, decorations, food and drinks… what more could a husband ask for?! Because a lot […]

CASE OF THE MONDAYS
Sometimes I just want to throw on sweatshirt, especially on a Monday. But, there isn’t anything a cute pair of heels and a red lip can’t make better!

STRIPES ON STRIPES
Today I am channeling warmer weather and hoping mother nature follows along. If you haven’t noticed from here & here, stripes have become my new neutral. The pattern goes with practically everything, including itself. This whole outfit is really just layering on some of my favorite basics. These jeans and this chambray shirt make an […]

IN THE TRENCHES

Nothing says ‘spring’ like a classic trench coat. I look forward to shedding my puffy winter coat and trading it in for timeless trench for the crisp spring days ahead. The best part about a trench coat? Knowing that it doesn’t matter what you layer underneath because the coat says it all… timeless chic.

It’s the details on this coat that truly make is special. With the black leather trim & gold zippers, it really becomes a statement piece.

I kept the outfit neutral with my Coach work tote and leopard pumps.

30TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

I celebrated a big birthday in February and, although I am a little late, I wanted to share the details. FMK hosted the celebration for me at Brooklyn Winery. They have the cutest private rooms and handle all the set up, decorations, food and drinks… what more could a husband ask for?!

Because a lot of our friends have babies, we decided to have appetizers and wine in the afternoon (3-6pm) so people could stop by before their dinner plans or before their babies’ bedtime. Although it was an exceptionally snowy day, so many of our sweet friends braved the cold and made it to Brooklyn to celebrate this milestone birthday with me.

Being a new mom, having a loving husband to put this all together for me, celebrating with friends who will brave the snow just to be there to share a glass of wine on my birthday, knowing my family and friends back home in Texas were thinking of me because my phone kept buzzing with sweet birthday wishes from familiar voices… all left me feeling extremely blessed.

In my 30′s, my goal is to be more intentional. Your 20′s (for some) is a rather selfish decade. I thought a lot about myself and what it was I wanted. What do I want to be when I grown up? What do I want to do this weekend? What do I want to buy myself with this year’s bonus? etc, etc.

Maybe it is getting older or maybe it is being a mom and realizing life isn’t all about me, but this birthday has made me want to be a better person. A stronger Christian. A better wife. A better daughter and sister. A better friend. To spend more time putting my faith in God and less time worrying about things out of my control.

So, here’s to focusing on the things in life that really matter and letting the rest fall into place.
