At the Harbor

As you can tell, it was a really windy day today- but I am totally loving the weather lately! It is finally starting to get a little bit chilly. This is one of my go-to Fall outfits. I feel like it is pretty classic (stripes and a army green jacket)- but I love it!

Stripes + Overalls

Ok this is by far my favorite Fall outfit. I am OBSESSED with these overalls. The last time I had overalls, I bought them from a thrift store- and I mean, they were cute.. but they were also probably like a L in Mens... sooo I got an upgrade. These overalls are so comfy! And just the cutest. And they fit great-loose enough, but not too baggy that you have no form, ya know? Just overall an excellent buy.

Sweater Weather

How To: 3 Pull-Through Braid Tutorials

Today's blog post is actually a video. This has been my go-to hairstyle lately, and I wanted to make a tutorial on it and figured a video would probably be easier to show than pictures. So if you're interested, here are 3 hair tutorials of the pull through braid. They are so so cute!

Disclaimer: I am super awkward in this video. 

Copper Pipe Ponytail

So this hair style was inspired by this post from the blog Treasures and Travels-(really cute blog). I loved the idea, and wanted to recreate it. These copper pipes come pre cut at Home Depot. This one was $0.88 I believe... worth it. I love this because 1. I am obsessed with copper (as you all know) and this just gives me one more way to integrate it into my life, 2. I am a big fan of finding different ways to put my hair up- cause my hair down in Texas humidity just doesn't work most of the time, nor do I have the patience for it. SO I just thought this was just a super cute and unique way to mix things up in the ponytail department. 
Also, I'm thinking a whole post could be created about How To Make Things Found in Home Depot Fashionable. I seriously have gone there maybe as much as I have gone to Target in the past month...

I chose to do a dutch braid all the way down one side of my head because I love the look of that when you pull the braid apart some and make it bigger. I just thought it added some lovely texture to compliment the copper pipe. Also it helps keep the pipe in place better. But I do think it could look super classy with just the pipe and super straight, sleek hair. Also, a fishtail braid would look good with it. OR I think I want to get a smaller size pipe- and use it in like a half pony of some sort... yeah, I'm gonna try that.. pictures to come! Regardless if you braid your hair or not, I recommend braiding your whole ponytail at first to slip the copper pipe on... it makes the process a lot easier when your hair is braided together- then you can unravel it once the pipe is secure at the top.

 Try it. It's really cute. Thanks Treasures and Travels for your creative minds!

Dalmatian Spots

I was a big fan of the dalmatian spots the minute it was in style. I'm not a huge fan of traditional polka dots, so once I saw these spots everywhere, I was on board. I think they just make such a great accent piece... a throw pillow, accent chair, lil section of wallpaper.. and now I found a way to weave it into an outfit! This is by far one of the best F21 finds yet- high neck and dalmatian spots=yes, buy me now. 

Ryan and I went for a walk at our new favorite spot- White Rock Lake and it was actually really nice outside! Ha when we got back in the car, we saw that the temperature was still 85 degrees...which isn't that cool, but it felt really nice because we are used to 100 degree weather. So hooray for Texas finally cooling down! 

Also, ignore that the pictures are a tad grainy... we didn't make it to the lake quite early enough to hit the good lighting.

Skirt: Gap (currently in Gap Factory stores)

Floppy Hat: on sale at Old Navy

Summer Stripes

Before moving to Texas, Ryan and I did this shoot out at a nature preserve in Utah. It was a perfect summer evening, and I can't really pass up nature walks, especially when there are boardwalks involved. I have been seeing a lot of posts lately about "ahh summer is ending"- and to be honest, you don't really get that feeling in the 103 degree Texas sun. BUT today I walked outside and felt a lovely breeze and didn't feel like I was swimming to my car and thought I could use a light sweater- it was the darnedest- and was probably just freaky weather (pulling a Utah weather or something), but nonetheless, I decided that I should post this before I wake up one day to Fall. 

current favorite shoes- so cute and so comfy
