A Cozy Sweater

December 5, 2017

I found it! The perfect cozy sweater that makes you look winter chic, with the smallest amount of effort all while you feel like you’re wearing pajamas. This cozy sweater is by far my favorite out of all my sweaters, and because it’s so perfect they made it in 7 colors so you can wear it everyday if your heart desires. I sized up one size (XS to Small) in this sweater for a more oversized look. I would HIGHLY suggest others to do the same. You can pair this sweater with your favorite sequin skirt, velvet joggers, or distressed denim and change the whole look of it for any occasion.

I have already most definitely planned to wear this cozy chenille sweater while traveling to Miami this Christmas with our family. I’ll have the airport security asking can they touch my sweater because it look’s so soft rather than asking to pat me down per their usual protocol, haha. I am telling you, there isn’t one person who won’t love this sweater. So even if you feel like you already have your closet on winter essentials overload, with it being UNDER $50 it’s the perfect gift for your sister, mom, or bestie for Christmas. I also shared another great chenille sweater with you a few weeks back here that’s an even better bargain and it’s from one of our favorite retailers!

If you are a bar cart home décor love, I want to give you a heads up that I will be sharing my bar cart styling for the Holidays here on Thursday so be sure to subscribe so ya don’t miss it 😉

Coffee Talk In Christmas Pajamas

November 30, 2017

Happy Thirsty Thursday! And by thirsty I mean I am thirsty for my favorite blueberry coffee. This is totally unsponsored, and let me tell you this coffee tastes like you’re drinking a fresh blueberry muffin pumped with caffeine! Too delightful for words PROMISE. Isn’t one of the coziest part about Christmas the super cute pjs designers come out with?! It makes drinking your favorite coffee that much more festive.

As a kid my mom would let us open one gift on Christmas Eve night and it was always the cutest Christmas pajamas we would wear for Christmas mornings. This made for the perfect kodak moments, and not to mention left us with super fond and festive memories. I am sure we were not the only family who took part in this fun tradition so I figured I could share some super cute pajamas for you to relieve some of those childhood memories on this year’s Christmas mornings. I’ll be totally honest, we meet my in-laws every Christmas morning for breakfast at our local I-Hop and I will most definitely be sporting one of these cute ensembles, haha! So for my Houston girls, if you see me out on the morning of the big day in my pjs chowing down on french toast, DON’T JUDGE lol!

This is just the first of many festive Holiday posts to come over the next 5 weeks so put your festive panties on and let the glitter flow!

Fall Staples & Pearl Embellished Jeans

November 28, 2017

Can you believe it?! Many of the Cyber Monday deals got extended into today at midnight. That is the most epic thing I have heard so far in this sale season! This is the best time to grab those fall staple pieces that will last you for many years to come. And if you have a love for pearls, well this is a time to snag those too. Ya’ll loved my Instragram posts of these embellished jeans so I figured it was time to share my favorite pearl embellished jeans here on the blog that are in stock. And most are in some sort of a sale with a special discount code because these sales were extended! I was able to get Christmas gifts for the hubs and myself (from him of course, but I make it easier by purchasing it myself) at total steals and stock up on staples I have really been needing in my closet.

Enough about sales, pearl embellished jeans, and fall staple pieces.. how was your Thanksgiving?! Kyle and I really tried to focus on family this year. I took time away from the blog, and social media so please don’t hate me for not being all *Sale Happy* with you over that time. Family comes first, but I do love ya 😉 Who’s with me on being turkey’d out? I had my Mom’s Thanksgiving Wednesday, my cousin & my in-laws Thanksgiving Thursday (2 in one day), and my Grandma’s Thanksgiving Friday. Not to mention, our fridge is loaded with pies, stuffing, turkey, ham, and more. We’re getting creative with reinventing these dishes for dinner this week, haha. I’m sure you’re doing the same thing so if you have any great recipes send ’em this way!

Back to sale talk: Did you find any killer deals on Black Friday this year? or better yet, Cyber Monday?! << This one is still going on. I am all about CM if you can’t tell, and I wanted to leave you with not only my favorite Pearl Embellished Jeans, but also many Fall Staples that won’t break the bank and are still even more discounted than usual since most retailers extended the Cyber Monday sales through today.

Thanksgiving Off The Shoulder Dress

November 22, 2017

Yassss, it’s Thankgiving week and the big day of Feat & Family is tomorrow! In our case we’re doing my family Thanksgiving dinner today since my mother is working tomorrow. We do the Hubs’s Family Thanksgiving tomorrow which really works out well because we aren’t rushed on one day from one house to the next. This year, my older sister and I are “heading” things if you will for the menu and she thinks I am crazy with the amount of food I am bringing and planning. Has she never heard of leftovers?! I have had some people tell me this is their favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. So lots of food it is, and I will share her telling me how crazy I am on Instastories later today which I promise will give you a total ab workout with lots of laughter. Not to mention she is the selfie queen and she is designing a whole tablescape at her house and having us eat very festively outside at the moved dinning room table. Yeah, she is that freaking epic and wants the full vibes of Thanksgiving to be felt. #bestsisterEVER

Total honesty here: I have set the oven on fire twice in my life. To be fair, I was a child when these incidents occurred. But cooking is still NOT my strong suit. I am preparing a 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese dish, with a Parmesan Corn and Zucchini casserole. The other sides/desserts I am brining are store bought so I won’t even act like I am Martha Stewart backing the world over here. I do have a really neat “Thanksgiving Pie” story on Instastories I’m sharing with you today on Instastories about an amazing pie company in Katy, Texas. Now I am rambling, but with all this food I know I can’t wear something very fitted or lots of layers.
The meat sweats is a real thing and too much pie makes my body temperature rise, haha ONLY JOKING!

But seriously, I always like something comfortable that can be worn, just like this off the shoulder dress, with a flat OTK boot, and has sleeves so no sweater needed at Thanksgiving. Between all the people in the house and the heater going (not to mention the red wine and Rumple mints shots happening) I don’t ever need a full winter outfit happening. Charming Charlie has this adorable off the shoulder dress with ruffled sleeves perfect for all your Thanksgiving Day parties. If you want more layers to battle the cooler temperatures and still be Fall Fashion envy you can most definitely pair with a faux fur vest, OTK boots, riding boots, or a your favorite duster and rock turkey day OOTD with the utmost confidence!

I would love to hear what you are planning to style up at your Thanksgiving this year. you can send me all the details in a comment below, I love, love seeing everyone’s turkey day styles!

Turning 28 & 8 Things To Know About Me

November 20, 2017

Well it’s official, I am that much closer to 30! lol, don’t roll your eyes.. I’m still not sure how I feel about turning 28. For now I am going to try and just be positive about turning 28. It came to mind that even though I chat with you twice a week on here, there are still many things I don’t think I have totally shared about myself. I wish I could say I’m sharing 28 things with you BUT to be totally honest, I don’t even know that many things about myself to share with you. I have found a few (8 to be exact) that I wanted to share with you about myself so we can get to know each other a little better. I mean, isn’t that what blogging is all about? Getting to know one another outside of the pretty little images we’re always posting on social media.

1. I love to sleep! I know that seems generic, but I for reals can’t function without minimum 9 hrs. of sleep and would really be more productive when awake if I got closer to 10.5 hrs.
2. PSA: I have a larger butt, hips, and thighs for my body frame size. I know, SHOCKING right?! I’m 5’2 and under 115 lbs. and apparently that is considered “curvy” so *high five* to all my curvy babes, let’s own the extra sass God gave us!
3. Diet Coke is still my all time favorite beverage of all time. And this love in fact is what I got from my momma, haha!
4. I’m not basic in the sense that I love all things pumpkin. In Fact, I HATE all things pumpkin. It’s just not my jam. I hope this doesn’t make you love me any less 🙂
5. If for some reason all things beef, chicken, and turkey where taken from the world but we still have all things seafood I would never be a sad woman. This is the Cajun in me, all things white rice, grilled fish, and vegetables and my life is complete.
6. My dog (PoBoy Daniels) is my child, and I am a dog mom to the fullest! I don’t think we can be friends if you don’t your animals are your children.
**PoBoy will be featured much more than previously here on the blog. You might fall in love to watch your step.**
7. If the handsome hubs didn’t hate it, I would keep our Christmas decorations up year round all while living in Christmas pjs! We went to see the Houston Zoo Lights this weekend for my birthday because Christmas lights are ultimate birthday magic for me. Told you, I am a total Christmas nerd.
8. TV Shows I am totally crushing on right now.. This Is Us / Shameless / Empire . I get all the feels from This Is Us, all the belly ache laughs from Shameless, and ULTIMATE drama and ridiculousness from Empire.

Geeze, writing just 8 things is difficult. I really don’t know how to tell you about myself. I’m just a hot mess express and wouldn’t change it for the world lol. Thank you for all the kind birthday wishes y’all sent out over the weekend, they were all so wonderful and made turning 28 much easier!
I am having 2 other blog post this week, Wednesday, and Black Friday so be sure to check them out. They will NOT disappoint!
