In the past, I was very closed off about what I did or where I worked, but since being at Lauren James I was very open about moving to Arkansas and working there, so I feel I need to give some a little update and why I left my job at Lauren James. When choosing to move to Arkansas for Lauren James it was a BIG decision. Jared and I had lived in the DFW area basically our whole ...

Forget the Bikini, It’s All About the One-Piece
If you would have told me when I was in high school that I would be wearing a cute one-piece swimsuit by choice one day, I would have thought you were nuts! Granted when I was in high school the only time I wore a one-piece was when I had to at summer church camp and the options for one-piece swimsuits were very slim! It was pretty much the classic one-piece Speedo. Anyone else ...
Girl’s Weekend at the Fairmont Dallas
Each year my girlfriends and I all take an annual weekend girls trip. We all met in college and since graduating we've parted ways and live in different cities, so this weekend is a chance for us to get together, catch up, reminisce and make new memories. We had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Dallas for this year's trip. Since I live in Arkansas, then the other girls ...
Suns Out – Grill Out: Summer BBQ Party Idea
If there is one thing my family loves to do it's grilling out. Maybe it's a Texas thing, but some of my favorite memories as a child are swimming in the backyard with my sister while my dad grills burgers and hot dogs. I recently went home and visited my family in Texas and of course, we had to have summer BBQ. My parent's just moved into a new home (downsizing after the 3 ...
Summer Conservative Style
Summer is here, or at least it feels like it. I do love the warm weather, but dressing for it can be a challenge. My style is pretty conservative and modest, so finding shorts long enough or tanks not too tight is a struggle. I have this weird thing where I don't like to wear tank tops and shorts together because I feel too exposed. I will typically wear a tank and jeans or ...
Stepping Out Of My Style Comfort Zone
After many years I am in a place where I am very comfortable in my style. I can walk into a store and instantly know what's going to look good on me and what is going to fit in my closet. This is a blessing, but also a curse. I tend to get stuck in style ruts, always grabbing the same navy and white stripe tee, statement earrings, and sandals. I've been working with Banana ...
La La La Lainey Dress
Today I wanted to share one of my go-to Spring casual dresses. I originally wore the Lainey dress from Lauren James in navy while I was in Austin and fell in love, so I had to pick it up in this gorgeous lilac color. This dress so effortlessly transitions into so many outfits. It's a great base to add any accessory to and wear for so many summer occasions. Style Tip: Add a ...
