Happy Monday! My dad flew into San Francisco this past Saturday to visit me/help me move out of my apartment. We took a short day trip to Monterey and Carmel, my dad’s favorite part of California. In Carmel, we explored the adorable town and checked out pretty much every single art gallery. After a lunch in Carmel, we headed to Monterey to check out the Dali exhibit. Salvador Dali is my very favorite artist, so it was amazing to see some of his original pieces in person.

For the trip, I wore my new favorite floral tunic (linked a similar pattern) paired with edgy, black booties. The weather here in California is just gorgeous all year. I am not sure how I am going to handle the Texas heat when I return home this weekend!

Birthday Bliss

tie top // midi skirt // lace up sandals

Happy Sunday! Hands down, this weekend has been one of the best weekends of my entire life. On Thursday, my Grandma, mom and I headed to Las Vegas to celebrate my 21st birthday! We arrived at the Wynn hotel, which was such a gorgeous place to spend the weekend [it’s also where we snapped these pics]. During our weekend, we enjoyed some shopping, eating, casinos, and the incredible Le Reve show. If you ever go to Vegas, you definitely have to see the Le Reve/The Dream show. It was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen, and I was in owe of how talented all the performers were! It’s definitely a great show for all people, of all ages. On a slightly-random side note, I only got kicked out of the casino once this weekend [the security guard didn’t believe I was actually 21, but it happens, it’s fine]. Being 5’0 doesn’t really help me look my age, but it’s something I will appreciate years down the road.

Long story short, I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend with my family. I’m celebrating my birthday with my college besties this week, and I am excited to have one last celebration before exams begin! In the past, birthdays have never been a big deal to me. I’m not quite sure why, but they just never seemed too important to me.However, your 21st is definitely a special one & I decided that I wanted to go all out for once. I wanted to find a birthday outfit that screamed ‘twenty-fun‘, so my sister, Allie, helped me pick out this unique, orange floral set. I paired it with my favorite lace up sandal heels and minimal accessories. It was definitely the perfect bday outfit & I absolutely loved wearing it on my special day!

Though I am sad this perfect weekend is over and that I have to go back to the ‘real world’, I am really grateful that I got to spend some time with my family and enjoy such a fun city.

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

xoxo,

Mackenzie

Does anything else scream “spring” more than a bold floral print? I don’t think so! When I saw this flirty & fun two piece outfit at a local boutique in my hometown, I knew instantly that it would be the perfect addition to my spring wardrobe. I’ve been obsessed with two piece outfits lately because of how versatile they really are! I especially loved this specific set because of the adorable print, ‘Steel Magnolia’. Steel Magnolia also comes in a romper, crop top, mini dress, maxi dress, and trousers version as well (yay for lots of options!). The mixing-and-matching options are truly endless!

I paired the floral set with cork Tory Burch sandals and a simple black clutch. I definitely plan on rocking the top with denim shorts, white jeans, and neutral skirts this Spring. The shorts would pair perfectly with a chambray button down or any black top. I can’t wait to play around with different combinations all season!

I hope you are having a wonderful Easter weekend, and that you are enjoying time with family and friends!

Dress: Show Me Your Mumu //  Necklace: Kendra Scott // Boots: Ivanka Trump (linked similar) // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 

Where the heck did February go? I can’t believe March is already here with spring break just around the corner! Crazy! Just because spring is almost here doesn’t mean you have to put away your over the knee boots just yet. Even though I go to school in the south, it is still chilly here. Though I am dying to break out the halter tops and sandals, I am still taking advantage of this crisp, but sunny, weather. I recently picked up this Show Me Your Mumu dress. I love the Kylie style because it is perfectly casual & beyond easy for everyday wear. I paired it with my favorite black OTK boots and a tassel necklace. However, I definitely plan on throwing it on with a denim jacket and sandals later this month. It could definitely be dressed up with some statement earrings and sky-high wedges as well.

Guess what, friends? I am going to Dallas this weekend! In my three years of college, I have never ‘randomly gone home’. I typically only go home for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Summer. Going to college ten hours away from home is so fun, but sometimes there is nothing better than a relaxing weekend at home. I also need to bring some of my winter clothes home to swap out with my spring pieces. My grandparents are going to be driving through the area, so I am hitching a ride with them all the way back to Dallas! I am so excited to see my fam & catch up on some much needed Tex-mex!

I hope that you all are having a fabulous first week of March!

Show Me Your Mumu New Collection

Sandy Snake Romper | Sandy Snake Crop Top + Shorts | Desert Sand Crisp Trousers | Desert Sand Crisp Romper | Cact-Eye Tee | 3 Amigos Cardigan | Lite Bright Bull Top | Lite Bright Bull Romper

Hey everyone! I first wanted to start off by saying my blog got a little makeover! I couldn’t sleep last night, so I decided to completely revamp my blog & try something different. I had a lot fun designing and playing around with a new look, and I hope y’all enjoy it as well!

Secondly, it has probably been no secret by now, but I absolutely love Show Me Your Mumu. From the fun prints to the trendy cuts, Mumu has easily become one of my favorite brands over the past few years. I find myself always reaching for my Mumu pieces whether I am going out with friends or traveling. Show Me Your Mumu launched their newest collection this morning, and it was love at first sight. I have loved so many of the previous Mumu collections, but this current one, ‘Desert MUasis’, is by far my very favorite one yet. The prints in this collection are so gorgeous and refreshing. I felt so inspired by them and decided I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces with y’all. I like that this collection almost has a neutral feel, but of course, has a very unique and eclectic edge to it. My sister and I have been texting links to our favorite pieces in the collection back and forth all day. We were dying over the ‘Cact-eye‘ tee. So perfect & clever!

If you are a Mumu fan too, let me know what your favorite piece in the Desert MUasis collection is! I am going to have a tough time deciding which piece to add to my collection next!

Mackenzie Kendall

Tunic | Clutch (similar) | Sunglasses (similar) | Earrings | Booties

Show Me Your Mumu makes the best tunics ever. The ‘Donna Michelle Tunic‘ is most definitely no exception. I fell in love when I saw this gorgeous kaleidoscope patterned tunic launch on their site a few weeks ago. I love the bold print, and that the colors work perfectly for both fall and spring. I paired it with my favorite fringe booties, gold clutch, cat eye sunglasses, and white tassel earrings. I definitely plan on purchasing a second ‘Donna Michelle Tunic’ in another pattern this season. It’s just so comfy and perfect for travel! I think the print ‘Water Moccasin‘ may be next on my list!

Thank you so much for checking out my blog!
