Weekend wear ready for anything!

I love this pair of shorts from Levi's - the 501 style. They come perfectly distressed & have a button fly (I love!). Fit tip: to get the look of looser "boyfriend" jeans, order 1 to 2 sizes up. I am usually in between a 26 and 27 & am wearing a 28 in these pictures.

Madewell evolution

My heart aches for all those devastated by the the Oklahoma tornado, I am praying for comfort & healing to those mourning lost loved ones & a destroyed community.

In college, I would say that my style was definitely "J.Crew". Preppy, classic, lots of pink + green.

I don't know if style blogging, growing up, or living in Nashville is the reason, but recently I have noticed that my style is trending toward being more "Madewell". Mixed prints, masculine + feminine pairings, & "global" accents.

So am I now "uptown"? Or was I already "downtown" & now I'm "midtown"?!

Well whatever it is, I better figure it out before I head to NYC next month (!!!!!)

That's RIGHT!

My sister & I are headed to New York City to go wedding dress shopping in June!

Before this, I have only been to the Big Apple for a few hours during a layover, so I am looking to you fashionably well traveled ladies to tell me everything that we need to do & see over the long weekend (June 21-24).

I am also thinking that I might need to save some time for a blogger happy hour while there, 

so if you are in the area, stay tuned!

Is there a store that is your style aesthetic?

I would love to hear if others share this way of defining their style too!

peplum top {$22.99} + black jeans {$29.50} + colorblocked clutch {$25} + leopard heels {$39.99} + initial necklace {$35}

Ty calls this my "cat suit"... I think he means that in a good way!

Y'all this is a first! I don't know how I first found Golden Ponies, but once I did, I couldn't believe the high quality gorgeous products & low prices & immediately ordered a leopard envelope clutch that I wear allllll the time (see my outfits here). I am a Golden Ponies fan girl. 

Of course, when I find something fabulous, I want to share it with you. So I reached out to Golden Ponies designer Erandi, & guess what, they want to make you a Golden Ponies believer too! Erandi has so generously given me this metallic snake print + blush pink clutch to pass along to you!

Happy February 15th, aka the day after Valentine's when my Facebook newsfeed is blowing up with engagements!

Ty & I had a wonderful evening at the Nashville Predators hockey game: 2-for-1 beers & grown men chasing a tiny puck are my kind of romantic! (oh, and the Preds won!)

Are you a big holiday celebrator?

With 2 holidays in one week, this I'll-pop-champagne-for-a-random-Thursday holiday lover was on cloud nine! (did you see my Fat Tuesday beads on Instagram?)

What did your Valentine's festivities include?

Is it bad that I love the date nights where you have the best laid plans, but the poorest executions?

Those sometimes epic fails can make for the best stories later!
