$I grew up shopping at Dillards living here in the South and I LOVE their semi annual summer and winter sale. Huge brand names at a fraction of the price! These are the pieces in my cart as I continue building out my warm autum wardobe I think these would all be a great addition to what I have. #LTKgrwm$

Sharing the Amazon find of the year - this backyard patio set is under $2,000 and seats 8 (or even 12 if you have extra chairs)

The best part - the hidden expansion leaves inside! This table did come in multiple pieces so assembling it is required which my husband did for us. It also came with a color maintenance kit but so far this table has kept its color against the Florida sun and rain! If you’re looking for an outdoor set this season I can’t recommend this one enough

Guest Room Refresh (fially)
Can you believe this bedframe is mine from highschool? It's amazing how investing in timless quality pieces matter. It's come to all 3 of our houses and I just can't seem to let it go. I think the room is finally styled to the organic coastal look I am going for with a few new purchases to mix with the old <3

Finally hung this mirror in the guest room and I love how it came together 🤍 it’s also on sale right now for $98 v $120 at @Target

I purchased this frame tv a few years ago so I’m linking one similar but the frame is a bit darker online than the one I’m showing here

I love this raised planter bed for my herb garden and for under $60. It’s a steel! I purchased this exact model about four years ago and I’m just now needing to replace it.

#LTKSeasonal

Friday date night in August 🌴

Wearing a size 9 in these new Antonio Melani heels I scored at the dillards sale for $40 and the dress is also on sale at dillards I’m wearing a size small

A wardrobe staple! I only wish I had found the Levi’s cinch waist shorts years ago.

I’m wearing a size 26 - they do cinch in about 1/2 an inch on each side and their cotton blend does stretch through out the day

Also I don’t take off my gorjana jewlery and I’m so impressed with their customer service! Well worth the splurge I’ve had these pieces for 3+ years now

My actual dillards sale haul this morning 65% off!

Dress: size small - free people
All shoes: size 9
Shirt: medium

Wearing a size small this dress is going to be so cute with boots and a denim jacket in Montana next week 👢 🏔️ 🐴

My go to Florida summer jeans they are a denim linen blend - they’re light enough to wear out in the Florida heat 🤍

I’m wearing a 26 regular

I love my new quince curtains 🥰 they are bringing much needed softness and texture to our dining and living room space!

This wall has always been a challenge since it expands over 250 inches 😅 I ordered both rods to help me get the length without paying for a custom rod 🤍

i’m using these curtains more as decorative than functional since we have the amazing drop-down blackout shades you see.

a night on the farm in wine country 🥂 this dress really couldn’t have been better for a night out in the field at Robert Sinskeys private wine dinner

Naps day 2 in June 🥂 🍷 ☀️

#summervacation #winetasting #shorts

What I’m packing for my Summer trip to Napa Valley as someone whose been 3 times already 🥂

Wine country is all about casual and versatile. Our weather is going to range 82-55 in June so daytime means shorts and linen and night time means layers and comfort.

To me this wardrobe is the perfect capsule for this years trip I hope you find it inspiring too ✨

Weekend Office Update: Organic Modern Coastal Office

I can't believe how much I love the office! It's dark, moody, and calming all at once. We went with Sherwin Williams Anchors Aweigh in Satin for the walls and trim, and flat on the ceiling.

I recently swapped out our dining room rug so I repurposed the old one in here and the navy in the print works perfectly, its a washable rug from @rugsusa 6x9

Our biggest invest piece was the stunning Radius 65" sideboard from Williams Sonoma. It is STUNNING and so heavy. I hadn't purchased any furniture for this room yet so this was an important decision. I wanted swomething that would provide storage and beauty.It's now holding our printer and office supplies seamlessly.

The curtains are from Amazon (Vision Home Blackout) 120" long x 60" pleated panels ($125/panel). I also opted for an antique bronze curtain rod and rings.

I painted an old desk Laggio by Sherwin Williams for a temporary fix while we still work on deciding what we want.

Overall I am thrilled with this office transformation. I was so nervous about colordrenching but I am thrilled how it all came together.

My top 10 things I pack for vacations (these apply to road trips, boat trips, and flights!)

What are your non negotiable packing items?

Five days in the Florida Keys and these were the pieces I reached for again and again. ☀️🌴

When I'm packing for a boat trip, I want everything to work hard:
• lightweight fabrics
• comfortable sandals
• swimsuits that can handle a full day on the water
• easy dinner outfits that don't wrinkle in a suitcase

Linking everything I packed, wore, and loved from our week boating from Cape Coral to Key West.

Here are my top 4 sunscreen brands - I pick each one for their benefits to my skin and the environment.

1. Color science flex sunscreen has become my daily foundation and sunscreen in one. It doesn’t get any easier with a one step product!

2. Vacation sunscreen is so nourishing. It doesn’t feel like you’re putting on sunscreen at all, but really lotion for your skin. When I use this, I know that my skin is actually tanning instead of burning. At the end of the day when I get out of the shower, I’m not tight but rather well moisturized after spending hours in the sun and saltwater.

3. ELTA MD sunscreen products are non-comedogenic, which is amazing for my congested, acne prone skin. This is also the face sunscreen. I have my husband use. It feels like you’re putting on moisturizer not sunscreen.

4. I really do love the smell of the alba Hawaiian sunscreen. I feel better that it’s a cleaner product for the ocean and easy to reapply once I’ve already been in the water.

Pro tip: apply all of your sunscreen butt naked before you put any bathing suit or clothing on if you’re going to spend the day on the water ! I can promise you you’ll thank me later 🤍🌴
