Headed to the BIG D, I mean Dallas

We have officially booked a trip to Dallas, TX. I am incredibly excited because A) I've never been to Texas and B) I love exploring new cities. I haven't figured out what exactly we are going to do in Dallas but boy have I had fun researching.  This will be our first trip west of Tennessee that the hubby and I have taken together. Okay, maybe that's a lie. We did travel across the bridge to Arkansas but that hardly counts because it's so close. Our trip is planned for early fall and I'm getting so into all the new fall fashions. I'm already planning outfits to pack with a little help from some of my favorite blogger friends. They really have a great sense of everything on trend and most of their recs are extremely affordable. Take a look at their blogs. There is always something to enjoy. 
 
 
 
 
 

With a little help from my blogger friends, I picked up these cute Booties


I think they will pair perfectly with this dress



This seems to be a perfect transition dress that can be worn now and into fall. I plan on wearing it paired with tights/leggings and some booties. 

I'm also obsessed with plaid for the fall. It was popular last year but I never followed thru with purchasing any plaid items.
This year just might have to be different.

Needless to say, I've been in the fall fashion shopping mood. It's been the most beautiful week here in Memphis. I'm hoping the cooler temps stick around for a while.

Back to Life


I know I haven't blogged recently and it would be easy to say that life has a habit of getting in the way. I've been experiencing a huge work transition and stress levels have been soaring, our best friends and neighbors moved away, and I've been homesick more than ever. It's left me feeling a little manic. I'm talking breakouts, binge eating, and total melt downs. Truth is, I think we all have moments like that but whenever you go through it, it seems like you are the only one who's ever dealt with anything tough. I know, it sounds dramatic. I'm not sure how my husband has even survived the madness. It's getting better though and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The summer is slowly coming to an end and I'm ready. I'm ready for change, adventure and a new season of life.
