Styling a joyful life
This past week Michael and I packed up our wagon and went out west – well, our Jeep wagon that is! Michael grew up on a farm outside of a small town in West Texas, where the stars gaze and the cattle graze. It was a trip back home to visit his parents and we had fun exploring his hometown and the surrounding area. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite destinations while discovering West Texas.

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! Ours was busy between work, but we had plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company before taking Michael to the airport today.
Some of my favorite posts to read from others are their recommended Amazon products. Reading these has opened me up to try new things and discover great products to use around the house! I compiled a list of some of my tried-and-true Amazon favorites. Gosh, it was hard to narrow this list down as I have so many favorites! And since tomorrow starts Amazon Prime Day, there is also an abbreviated list of highlighted deals!
I’m always looking for recommended Amazon finds, so please share yours in the comments below.

When it comes to jewelry, I tend to gravitate towards a simple principle with the costs: If it is trendy jewelry, I save. If it is a high-quality and classic piece, I splurge. With that being said, most of the jewelry I opt for is affordable and falls into the “save” category.
This comparison shows how so many affordable styles still have the appearance of more expensive jewelry! (Hover over each piece pictured and click for more details.)
Additionally, on June 23rd, EVERYTHING pictured on the “save” side is at an additional discount for the LTK Day Sale! This LTK Day Sale is a new type of sale with discounts exclusively for LIKEtoKNOW.it app users!
“Splurge vs. Save Jewelry | LTK Day Sale”Summer dress season is here! From wedding events to parties, it’s the perfect time to whip out a statement dress and feel extra beautiful and fabulous. I love having a fun outfit to celebrate even the smallest of occasions. For most events I opt to use a dress rental service so I can have a unique dress shipped and cleaned without the hassle of re-wearing the same dress over and over again or paying for dry cleaning fees. I have been doing this for 5 years and have found several dresses I love and recommend! Here are some favorites in the Statement Dress Guide for Summer!
Why I love it: Summer seersucker paired with unique embroidery creates a style that is flirty and fun! This dress features pom-pom trim and ruffle sleeves for all the cute details.
Sizing notes: Runs slightly small with length best for petite to average heights. Fits narrow at this waist. Overall, very figure flattering!

When my Mom visits Dallas, it has become a tradition to walk around the Dallas Arboretum in the mornings. We love winding around the sidewalks and trails that weave between landscapes and beautiful flowers. During one of our most recent walks, we stumbled upon a small flower arrangement class taught by a florist. With a 30+ year resume, this master florist had done events from Presidential Inaugurations to The Beverly Hills Hotel. With only a few other students, we had the opportunity to ask questions and learn tricks on flower care and arrangements. Here are a few tips from a master florist regarding bouquets and flower arrangements to promote longevity of your beautiful flowers!
