Happy Tuesday!Today’s post is going to be short and sweet, because honestly I am starving. I have 30 minutes left in my lunch break to finish this post up, heat up my food, and hopefully have 5 minutes to mindlessly surf Facebook and Instagram lol!

Iborrowed a trendfrom my Grandma’s closet today and am absolutelyLOVING it. (Actually tbh my 91 year old, Meme, is super stylish and isalways ahead of the trends haha!) Seriously though,this embroidered flower shirt is so crazy soft and comfortable. I have been wearing it non-stop lately, because it is perfect to transition from Winter to Spring! On beautiful, sunny days (like today – Houston is in the 70’s!) I busted out my white jeans, but last week when it was freezing here – I wore it with a sweater, maroon scarf,and boots! When I actually take a second to put on sunless tanner, then I want to try it out with this skirt from last year too. I love pieces like this that can be worn with SO many different things! What do you think about the embroidered trend that is popping up everywhere right now?

We have some super fun Valentine’s posts coming your way this weekand make sure to follow our snaps ( ourmessytable) and insta stories this weekend, we are going to be exploring Houston to see it all set up for the Superbowl!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My favorite Fall trend right now is bomber jackets! I love them, especially this one from Francesca’s! It is super comfortable and as you know from my last Things to Roar About post, I kinda have an obsession with Olive right now. So, when I stumbled across this one -I knew it was coming home with me haha! & now that the temps are cooling down a little in the evenings, I am so excited to start wearing it! ( Oh, and I have shared a couple pics on Instagram, but here is the new hair. I am definitely loving the blonde/lob.)

What Fall trends are you loving right now?! Let me know in the comments below!

Summer Nights

Dress : Express (no longer available) Similar | Shoes | Earrings| Necklace|

I loved my hair and makeup! Natalie, from The Bronze Body, did a wonderful job. If you live in Northwest Houston area, she is your girl! She does hair, makeup, and spray tans! ( which obviously- I didn’t get a tan for these photos haha, but I should have!) She did a soft Smokey eye and a waterfall braid with beach curls. I literally didn’t want to take my makeup off that night! It was so beautiful and the airbrush makeup lasted in the Summer heat of Texas – which is definitely saying something!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Summer! I can’t believe how fast it has gone by, but honestly John and I are so excited and ready for Fall! We went to Hobby Lobby and Michael’s this weekend and we were totally inspired by all the Pumpkins and fall décor. I had to force myself not to go home and start decorating that night! We can’t wait to share some Fall recipes, décor, and DIY projects with y’all!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you loved this Summer Night look Comment below and tell us what you did this Summer!

Anyways, we are back from Europe and I am having major withdrawals! So when we were out running errands, you know I HAD to wear my Pardon My French Fries t-shirt and then go get a couple macaroons and reminisce on our trip!

Pardon My French Fries

Why are macaroons are SO GOOD? We had red velvet, birthday cake, and cookies & cream. In Paris we stumbled across this cute gelato shop and they put gelato in the middle of the macaroons. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. They were like little ice cream sandwiches. It was delicious.

And yes, in case you are wondering – we did stop to eat french fries! How can I wear that shirt and not get french fries?!? I thought this shirt was TOO cute to pass up, considering we just went to Paris and I have a love/hate relationship with fries. You will also see this shirt in our Europe recap later this week!

Hope you all have a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

Off the Shoulder Floral Top

I also really, really LOVE the knot-tie sleeves on this shirt.

TOP | JEANS

I paired it with some white cut-off jeans and these shoes are in my May Favorites post that is coming soon!

Are you loving the off the shoulder tops as much as I am?! What’s your go-to piece for Summer?

April Style & Beauty Favorites 2016

I love the elegant and girly feelof the midi tulle skirt’s right now!I worethis skirtto Mother’s Day Brunch last weekend. It is very comfortable and versatile. You can dress it up with a more formal top or I also like to wear it with a chambray button-up and give it a more casual feel. I got mine from Francesca’s.Unfortunately, it is not on their website anymore, but here is a similar one from Anthropologie.

Before we move on to the beauty favorites, I have to tell you about this beautiful necklace from Atakcrafts.They are all handmade by Ashley. She has a variety of colors, but I choose the white/grey for Summer and it also has marble beads throughout! (If you saw my February Favorites, you know I LOVE marble.) It is a piece that can be worn with so much!

Beauty Favorites:

This Giorgio Armani foundation is AMAZING. For years now I have heard Jaclyn Hill rave about it, but I couldn’t get past the price tag. My friend, Tara, is a Sephora VIBRouge Memberand they were running a special where you bring a friend and they get 15% off, this caught my eye right when I walked in. I love this foundation! It covers well, without feeling “cakey.” It smells good and the bottle is pretty generous. I have combination skin and it worked great for me. I recommend talking to the Sephora makeup consultant and see if this is good match for your skin type.

I can now add Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer to my list of favorite concealers.It covers very well andIhaven’t noticed any creasing under my eyes. I will say it is a thicker than my other concealers, so the first couple times I used too much and it took me awhile to blend it out.

I got a sample of the Benefit Roller Lash from Ulta during my birthday month and I was on the fence at first, but I love it now! It takes me a couple weeks to get used to a new mascara and I will definitely purchase this when I run out of the sample. My lashes look so long & full when I wear it and it doesn’t irritate my overly sensitive eyes.

I will go on record to say, THIS IS THE BEST CANDLE YOU WILL EVER OWN. No joke. My whole family uses this candle and its our go-to gift for friends & hostesses. It smells amazing and you only have to burn it for a short period of time, because it smells up the entire house. I buy these at a local boutique , but I also found them online for you here.(If you are in the Spring/The Woodlands area in TX you can buy these at Thad’s in Old Town Spring or at The Blue Finch in Magnolia.)

Thank y’all so much for stopping by! Tell me about some of your favorite things. What beauty products, candles, or style trends have you been loving?

It has been so dreary and rainy in Houston this week. You may have seen on the news all the flooding and awfulness that has been going on. We were very blessed to be in an area that did not sustain any flood damage and we have been avoiding going into the city to steer clear of all that. With all the gloomy weather, I decided to put together a bright & cheery list of things I am currently loving: Pineapple Perfection!

Right now I am currently loving all things pineapple! It started this weekend when I picked up an adorable pineapple cookie jar and I have been spiraling ever since ( luckily almost everything is one sale!) Here’s some of my other favorite pineapple pieces.

To celebrate, I thought I would go ahead and share my monthly March Favorites 2016 a little early. Partly, because it is Friday and partly because they are all so cute – I couldn’t wait any longer!

March Favorites 2016

It’s no secret I love sweet tea & JESUS! So, when I saw this kitchen towel – I didn’t hesitate to snatch it up. I also bought this for my momma too. (SHE LOVED IT.)

I’ve been using this cute Texas trinket dish to store the earrings I wear the most often. ( The website only had North Carolina, but if you can find a local store or call them to see how you can order it. I live in Texas and they only had Texas dishes in the store.)

(Shout out to my dear friend, Jennifer. She bought me these earrings as a bridesmaid gift. I adore them! They quickly became a favorite.)

Now that it is Spring and soon to be Summer, I got to bust out the shades.

These sunglasses are the best. Mine are an old pair, so I linked a pretty blue pair – that I have my eye on. They are super affordable (talking $20 or less!) and they are durable. I ALWAYS lose or break my sunglasses, so these have been great. They are also John’s favorite brand of sunglasses.

How cute are these puppy Thank You cards from Target. I am SO behind on birthday thank you’s. Hoping to take sometime this weekend to get these sent out.

Those are all the little treasures I have been loving this month! I tell ya, the monthly favorites post has turned into a post I really look forwarding to putting together. I hope y’all enjoy it too!

Thanks for stopping by!

PS: Here is last months favs in case you missed it!

Spring Home Tour 2016

Here’s a look at the mantle:

I have mentioned this in earlier posts, but when we bought our new home this past Summer, I completely changed the color scheme in our house. Since then I have been collecting metal pieces, birchwood, cream & distressed decor. I have been trying to stick with those main staple pieces for every season, which saves me money, because I can reuse the same pieces in new ways each season. (Instead of buying a bunch of decor that I can only use once a year.) I did however, splurge on a couple bunnies for Easter, but for the most part – everything I got can be repurposed for each season.)

Photo frame and metal heart sign are from Micheal’s!

This is little wall in the living room is my favorite area in the house right now. This boxwood wreath& pillows really brought this area together.

This “Have I told you lately that I love you sign” used to be lime green and red. Take a look at what you already have and see if you can paint it and give it a fresh new look.

We use our coffee table all the time. So, lately I have been choosing simple centerpieces that won’t get messed up if we keep moving them around.

This candlestick goes with EVERYTHING. I like that it adds a little shimmer and breaks up the distressed pieces I have in the living room. & this metal tray has been used for SO many things. This is going to sound dramatic, but I would put it at the top of my best purchases of the year. It was so cheap and I have used it for other centerpieces& at a bridal shower to hold drinks.

This glass clochecaught my eye the minute I saw it! I put moss and these paper cache eggswith the little chicks inside it. I just love the way it turned out!

I have an obsession with boxwood everything right now. This little boxwood shrubwas too cute to pass up!

Above the Kitchen Cabinets:

Stay tuned for a post on how to decorate above the kitchen cabinets! It can be so difficult to fill that space. I’ll be sharing my tips soon

Entryway:

How adorable is this bunny!? I think he looks like a little gentleman with his bowtie haha!

This Home Sweet Home DIY is so simple! I love how subtle it is, but adds so much at the same time.

Hope you enjoyed our very first Spring home tour! I would love to know what styles and trends you are loving this Spring!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Anyways, today’s post is short and sweet – and showcases two of my current favorites. Hint: they are both MARBLE

February Favorites: Marble Edition

I have fallen head over heels for any and everything MARBLE. (I know I am not alone in this obsession.) When I saw this Marble Platter, I knew I had to have it to put on my dresser to hold all my favorite perfumes and most used jewelry.

My other favorite are theseKendra Scott Earrings. I have not stopped wearing themall Winter! They have a marble pattern and are just gorgeous! My go-to look to wear them with is a blue/white plaid flannel shirt. These earrings really dress it up!

This little Marble platter looks so pretty on my dresser! This may sound silly, but it has made me enjoy the last steps of getting ready so much more.

Hope you enjoyed this short post! Stay tuned for John’s Paris trip recap!

XOXO
