Blame it all on my Roots

November 7, 2016 by Mackenzie

white slip dress (linked similar) | fringe jacket | cowboy boots

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in my boots. Almost four whole years ago, I received these gorgeous cowboy boots as a graduation present. Living in the South, cowboy boots are such an essential piece to any wardrobe. From country concerts to gamedays, cowboy boots can be such a versatile, and durable shoe that is perfect year round. These boots specifically are from ‘Old Gringo’, my very favorite cowboy boots brand. I love how unique and different these boots are. They look perfect paired with any solid, neutral dress and simple accessories. To give the look a more western feel, I added my favorite fringe jacket as well (which is so soft and warm). I can’t wait to wear fringe and boots all season!

Paisley Perfection

blue paisley skirt | white tie top | choker (on sale) | booties

Hello & happy Friday! I am not sure I could tell you when or where I fell in love with paisley. For the past few months, I have been gravitating towards anything and everything printed in paisley. So when I stumbled upon this adorable blue, paisley skirt, I knew I needed to add it to my growing paisley collection. I paired it with a white tie top, metallic choker, and neutral booties. I can definitely see it paired with a black turtleneck and black over the knee boots as it gets chillier outside.

Guess what? At this time next week I will be back in Dallas. I am so excited to see my family & enjoy the Texas State Fair.

Cool for the Summer

August 18, 2016 by Mackenzie

On me: layered crop top | tropical skirt | bull cardigan (SO comfy- borrowed this piece from my stylish Mom) | converse // On Alexandra: off shoulder blouse (on sale- under $50) | shorts (on sale- under $50!)

Happy Wednesday night! I am finally back in the lovely state of Texas. It’s been so nice catching up with my family and hometown besties. However, I have to say I am missing the gorgeous Northern California weather. Luckily, there has been a cool front here in Dallas, making it bearable to brave the outdoors.

My sister, Alexandra, and I headed to Dallas to explore our favorite Texas city. Our day consisted of Steel City Pops (the best!!), decor shopping at antique malls, and my favorite restaurant, Blue Mesa. It’s been so nice to be back home with my sister and my family! In just two days, I am heading back to Oxford to finish my final year of college. I’m super excited to catch up with all my college friends and to decorate my new apartment!

What are you looking forward to this school year?

Day Trip to Monterey

August 8, 2016 by Mackenzie

floral tunic (linked another pattern) | black booties

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!

Sunflower Romper

May 17, 2016 by Mackenzie

sunflower romper // necklace (linked similar) // duster cardigan (under $30!) // sandals

Hello friends & happy Tuesday! Pretty recently, I told myself I was going to stop buying printed pieces. Over the years, my closet has accumulated too many prints to count. It’s fine. It’s not like I’m a real adult or anything. However, I decided I would start trying to replace some of my patterned pieces with solid, neutral colors. But let’s be honest. What fun is that?

This past week, my sister and I were shopping at our favorite local boutique, girligirl (If you live in the DFW area, you have to check it out!!). For months, I had been eyeing this adorable sunflower adorned romper from [yes, you guessed it] Show Me Your Mumu. I debated back and forth about ordering it because I was like, “It’s so cute!! … but I should probably buy something solid and neutral…. but it’s adorable!”. So when I saw this piece in person, I decided to try it on. I fell in love. Yesterday, my sister, some friends, and I went and snapped some photos in Dallas to try out my new camera lens (which will be on the blog later this week). I wore this new romper, and I have never received so many compliments on a piece before in my life. It’s so unique, and it definitely makes a statement. I surprisingly love the fit of this romper. It almost looks like a top or a dress at first, but it’s actually a romper. I paired it with a long, crochet cardigan duster, lace up sandals, and a choker necklace. I can’t wait to style this fun piece all summer!

I hope you are having a great week so far! Thanks for stopping by!!

xoxo,

Mackenzie

Flower Power

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!

xoxo,

Show Me Your Mumu New Collection

February 9, 2016 by Mackenzie

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!

Printed Paradise

December 18, 2015 by Mackenzie

Tie top | Shorts | Mystique sandals

[On Alexandra: Topshop Top (similar) | Shorts (now on sale!) | Sandals]

This week has just flown by. I can’t believe I only have three days left in Maui. One of my favorite things about going somewhere warm for holiday break is being able to break out my favorite bright and fun summer pieces. As much as I love winter clothes, it can be nice to put it away for just a week. Allie and I decided to wear our favorite Carlos shorts to dinner. She paired hers with an off the shoulder top and neutral sandals. I paired mine with a matching co-ord top and jeweled sandals. Printed pieces put me in such a great mood despite the rain we have been having on the island lately!

Hope you all are having a great Friday- the weekend is finally here!
