Mexico calls for bringing out your brightest pieces! I styled this striped blouse with a white skort and beaded accessories. How fun are these parrot earrings?! I can’t get enough of them and style them every chance I get! I will tone this look down when in Dallas by pairing the blouse and earrings with white straight leg jeans instead. Click HERE to shop my favorite white pair.
Today I want to share with you the bathing suits I took to Mexico! All are fabulous quality and worth the investment. I know bathing suits have gotten crazy expensive recently, but I have found the best fit when I’m willing to splurge. Fit is EVERYTHING especially when you’re laying by the pool or beach, jumping in the water or playing sand or water sports. We don’t want anything slipping!

Don’t mind our goggle marks, but I took this one piece snorkeling!
I’ve had the red one piece for two summers now, and it’s been a staple on all of my beach trips. For one, I love having a one piece that I can throw on if I get burned. Mine isn’t reversible, but the one I’ve linked is! You get two swimsuits in one! I got the lavender bikini this year, and I love the coverage it offers. It’s hard to find a bikini that you don’t feel like you’re popping out of, so I highly recommend this one. I opted for the hipster bottoms instead of the side tie.

First of all, how dreamy is this backdrop? Hotel Esencia, just north of Tulum, Mexico, is the most serene place I’ve ever stayed. Iguanas greeted me every morning on my doorstep, and the private beach was only steps away. I can’t talk about this place without mentioning the five star service and the kind people who work there. I already miss Jorge’s and Rojo’s smiling faces!!
Now onto my outfit… This was the perfect dress to bring to Mexico. It was not only breathable in the intense heat but mimicked the embroidery you find on traditional Mexican dresses. I paired it with the orange straw bag and my tried and true gold espadrilles. What am I going to do when these fall apart?

He is risen indeed! I hope everyone had a happy Easter with family and friends. I was in Memphis this weekend, and I had to best time with Henry, my fam and high school friends. I LOVE being home with my people!
My dress is 55% off, and it looks like you can get another 20% off from the site! Most sizes are still available, but I’m not sure how long the promotions will last. These shoes are my favorites from last year, so I linked this year’s version. An ivory lace dress and a wedge espadrille won’t go out of style, so you won’t regret purchasing these spring and summer staples! Not to mention, BOTH are amazingly comfortable.

Is anyone else loving the pleated skirt trend? They are so much fun! Great for everyday, nights out and the upcoming holidays. I was unable to find this exact skirt online, so I linked some of my favorites instead.
These photos are from my recent trip to Jamaica! Front Door Fashion took their top performing stylists on a rewards trip to celebrate 2018. We laid on the beach, soaked up the most beautiful sunshine and ate the most delicious seafood. I highly recommend staying at Half Moon Bay Resort if you ever find yourself on the island!

How nice it was to be in West Tennessee the last six days! I relaxed and spent time with family and friends that I don’t see very often. Of course we ate lots of delicious food, watched a ton of football (Hail State) and picked out our Christmas tree.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and maybe even did a little holiday shopping too! If you need help shopping, please let me know. Have a great week!
This summer has been full of travel, and most recently my family took a trip to Maine. Needless to say, it was hard coming back to work this Monday. One, I was exhausted and, two, I was used to being rather unproductive.
This week I am highlighting my latest excursion to Boothbay, ME. I had never been to Maine or that far north for that matter until last week, and I’ve been missing out. The views and food are spectacular. We enjoyed fresh lobster almost everyday, ate s’mores every night, sailed the ocean in Sarah Mead, read mystery novels, and shopped in antique stores featuring pieces from decades ago.

Hi Friends! I’m still reflecting on my trip to the beach and how much fun we had! I wanted to show y’all one last set of pictures from our dinner at George’s in Alys Beach. First of all, if you haven’t been to Alys, you’re missing out. It’s a neutral’s paradise!!! The architecture is truly perfection.
If you don’t have a pair of “fun pants” in your closet, you need to add some. Unfortunately, mine are no longer available, but I tagged a few great options. Get creative with how you style them.
I hope you all had a great week! Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to share with a friend.

This past week I relaxed on the beach with some of my best buds from high school! I haven’t spent that much time with those girls since we were in school and oh, how I miss them. We always seem to pick right back up after being apart, and what a blessing that is.
The majority of our time was spent on the beach. I can’t believe I read two books and started a third – definitely a record for me. I read Almost Gone and The Woman in Cabin 10, and I highly recommend both. I’m super thankful for the two beach umbrellas and the chairs that our condo provided, which made six-hour beach days even more relaxing. I can’t wait to go back to 30A!
What a weekend it was! This past weekend one of my dearest friends got MARRIED!!! This was the first wedding I’ve been in, and all of a sudden I feel like a real adult. Instead of doing a “Friday Finds” this week, I wanted to recap what an amazing weekend we had celebrating Ross and Bess.
Friday night we practiced our walks and our dance moves! The bridal party and the groomsmen rehearsed walking up and down the isle, and my oh my, what a long isle that is. After, we toasted our favorite couple at Lafayettes, and then a blues band hit the stage.
Saturday was a day for pampering Miss Bess! Hair and makeup teams made us feel beautiful. Once the champagne colored bridesmaid dresses were on, it was show time!
Ross cried, Bess cried, Mr. Nelson Cried… we all cried as Bess walked down the isle. She looked absolutely stunning. After Ross and Bess “embraced,” it was time to dance once more!
A band out of Atlanta had everyone moving – from the grandparents to the flower girl. Blonde wigs and glow sticks were handed out as the night went on. I absolutely cannot leave out the candied bacon – delish!
Thank you Bess and Ross for letting me be a part of your special day!!
