DENIM JACKET | ONE PIECE FOUR WAYS
This week we are starting a new kind of blog! It is about taking one piece and wearing it four ways! The main piece will be a must-have in every woman’s closet and is so versatile. With posts like these, we are hoping to help you maximize your wardrobe and curate different outfits with one main piece. Today’s is about the fab denim jacket that has been around it seems like forever but keeps getting reinvented over and over.
THE JACKET
So this week’s post is about denim jackets! A staple in every closet and I feel as if every woman should have one (or two)! A denim jacket is fabulous because it can dress down an outfit ( like the plaid pant above ), add an edginess, or give you a classic look. Denim jackets have been popular year after year for decades and it seems as if they always will be so for sure it is a must-add or have to your closet!

SEPHORA BEAUTY INSIDER EVENT | SHESHE’S FAVORITES
Who loves a great sale? What about a sale at Sephora?! I know I do and Sephora is having a MAJOR sale for Beauty Insiders. This post is nothing but make-up, beauty, skincare, and did I say make-up? Read below for the best deals, who gets them and how to get them.
Who gets to be an insider? ANYONE! How? Read below on how to sign-up and other membership perks and bonuses.
What is the Beauty Insider Program?
The Beauty Insider Program is Sephora’s free rewards program in the United States and Canada that lets you earn points on all your merchandise purchases and redeem those points for rewards.
How to earn Insider points:
For every U.S. or Canadian dollar you spend (as applicable based on country of purchase) on Sephora merchandise online, in Sephora inside JCPenney stores (U.S. only) and online merchandise, you receive 1 Beauty Insider point as an Insider, 1.25 Beauty Insider points with VIB status, or 1.5 Beauty Insider points with Rouge status when you provide or check out with the email address that is registered to your Beauty Insider account.
SEPHORA VIB
To achieve Very Important Beauty Insider status, spend $350 in a calendar year on Sephora merchandise purchased online, at Sephora stores, and Sephora inside JCPenney stores. The discounts are higher than regular Beauty Insider rewards. VIB has a few more perks than Beauty Insider such as instead of 2 choices for your birthday gift you get 4 and some include full-size products.
ROUGE
To achieve Rouge status, spend $1,000 in a calendar year on Sephora merchandise. Rouge has all of the same offers but more. The discount rate is always high, free shipping, early access to products and invites to special events.
SHESHE’S FAVORITES
I could go on and on about my favorite products sold at Sephora but I won’t do that today. I’ll keep it short and sweet like the sale ending August 27th, 2019. If you have not shopped yet you better hurry!
SKINCARE
Our skin and how we treat it is the most important part of a beauty routine. Moisturizing with
Crème de la Mer happens daily. It is rich and my skin feels like a million bucks after I use it. It’s one of the hottest moisturizers out now, so catch it with the phenomenal sale. I have recently realized how important a good toner is and boy am I grateful for Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner, it’s soothing and the rose flower helps nourish my skin. Since I first discovered it, it has been my favorite.
MAKE-UP
Foundation
For foundation, I have several go to’s. For an easy and with great coverage I’m loving
Fenty Beauty and it’s all the rave in the beauty industry right now. CC creams are also in my makeup kit. IT- Your Skin But Better™ CC+Illumination™ Cream with SPF 50+ has full coverage and can we agree that any foundation with SPF is a major plus? The Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer is currently my favorite concealer which also has hyaluronic acid in it and is crease-free!
Blushes, Bronzers and Highlighters
As we all know highlighting is the trend right now. Now myself, I prefer a more natural highlighter like this MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Light Fusion Highlighter. For a bronzer, my pick goes to the
Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit. The fabulous Bloom Blush & Glow Palette by Natasha Denona has all the perfect shades of blushes that you need.
Lips
If you saw my lip collection you would think I was nuts! I love lip pencils, glosses, sticks, and stains. A few of my favorites are YSL’s Glossy Stain Lip Color, Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution Lipstick (it may be a matte but definitely does not dry out the lips), the 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil by Urban Decay and Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream Gloss.
Eyes
If you do not have the Naked 2 palette then you need it. It’s a must-have and Naked’s palettes have been steady on the charts for best sellers for years. My pick for eye primer goes to Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion, it’s a 24-hour wear, a creamy eyeshadow primer that supports anti-aging and ensures that eye shades stay vibrant and crease-free. I apply Givenchy Base Mascara Perfecto before I use Better Than Sex Mascara and wow…I look like I’m wearing falsies!
TOOLS AND BRUSHES
I’m sure you have seen it everywhere…the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. It seriously is a game changer ladies. I have cut my blow-drying time literally in half if not more. I will not ever go back to a regular blow dryer. Makeup brush wise, I’m loving Sephora’s own line of brushes. I think it’s a great value for an affordable price.

THE REAL DEAL | OR NOT? | DESIGNER DUPES
Being an influencer obviously, I have eyes and love for the finer things…..meaning gorgeous handbags and just about anything designer. Well, I have found some incredibly budget-friendly designer dupes and almost as good as the real deal. Just a few missing details and can you even tell? Read on below to find all of the best designer dupes and the real deals!
HANDBAGS
As you guys are well aware that I love handbags! Can’t go anywhere without one. We all know about the great LV handbags everywhere, Chloe and so much more. I adore both brands and many more that a similar type is featured in this post. When featuring these bags I want you all to also be aware of the disclaimer at the end of this blog!
SHOES
Shoes are a girl’s best friend and so special in our closets! It’s not always easy dropping thousands on a pair of shoes and these fab designer dupes are quite close to the real deal!
ACCESSORIES
With jewelry, there will be no competition between real and fake, obviously due to quality. However, the fake is fabulous to travel with to avoid theft, loss, or misplaced go with the lower end jewelry.
OUR FAVORITES
Below are some of our favorite designer-inspired items! Can you tell the difference? Some are so hard to tell it’s fabulous. Which one is your favorite? Hover over any item, click and be stunned at how affordable these pieces are.
ONE//TWO/THREE//FOUR//FIVE//SIX//SEVEN//EIGHT//NINE//TEN//ELEVEN//TWELVE//THIRTEEN//FOURTEEN//FIFTEEN//SIXTEEN// SEVENTEEN//EIGHTEEN//NINETEEN//TWENTY
DISCLAIMER
I support and own lots of real designers myself. Investing in designers is a great thing but I understand and appreciate wanting the look without paying for it, some handbags cost as much as a new vehicle or downpayment for a house! I get that’s not always affordable. Hopefully, this post has helped you find your designer look without the designer price!
IN CONCLUSION
Fashion can be affordable and you can follow the trends without breaking the bank. There so many great brands that I adore but I also enjoy a great deal. Most of these designer-inspired items are so close it’s hard to tell the difference. Which one was your pick? Share with us in the comments!

Weekend Wanderings | Organization Hacks for Your Home
“Back to school” is always a time for me to reset my routines. Once the summer has gone (and we get a tiny bit of relief from the heat here in Houston) I always feel the need to make some changes and focus on the “school year” before me (no matter how long it’s been since I’ve actually been in school).
One thing I always like to do during this time of year is to deep clean my life. I try and focus on every place I spend a substantial amount of time in the hustle and bustle of fall…and refresh those areas. It’s funny how doing so can really change your outlook and attitude–thus making the busyness of the day-to-day more manageable.
So today, we’re tackling four places we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, bathroom, closet, and car. Check out some of our favorite products and organizational hacks for these spaces below.
Organization in Your Kitchen
My kitchen seems to be an area that collects messiness FAST, so these products are perfect for me. I love this magnetic rack to hold kitchen supplies because it can be moved based on where you are in the kitchen. This dog-food holder (on wheels) would really save my back when I’m feeding our animals. But I have to say I might like these reusable kitchen bags the most because they’re environmentally friendly AND super useful for eating on the go.
Organization in Your Bathroom
Another trouble area for me. I’ve been in need of some bathroom organization, and I think this makeup organizer might end up in my cart sooner rather than later. I also love this toilet paper organizer, because it looks chic while still saving space in your bathroom. Last but not least is this hair-tool holder, to organize our never-ending supply of curling irons, straighteners, blow-dyers, oh my!
Organization in Your Closet
Most of my issues in this realm are related to two things: jewelry and clothing storage. I love this vacuum-sealed bag to store clothing in, so I can move my winter clothing and save some space. I also love this hack–one hanger with six prongs, so you can maximize your closet space. This laundry hamper with wheels is another back-saver, and this chic jewelry organizer is about to become my centerpiece….it’s too pretty to store in my closet!
Organization In Your Car
The car is an area a lot of people don’t focus on, but it is where we spend a ton of time. I personally swear by trunk organizers like this one, which makes carrying in groceries a million times easier. I think I originally saw a product similar to this one on Shark Tank, which is an organizer that fits in between the annoying space between your driver’s seat and the center console. This ensures nothing will fall into that space, AND gives you a little extra storage space. I’ve always loved having a small trash can in my car, especially on long road trips, to keep everything a little cleaner.
What are your organization hacks to get you ready for the fall? Let us know in the comments below!

- I just had the most wonderful few days in Florida with 14 other influencers from around the country attending SOMA INTIMATES 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. We were treated like queens with good food, drinks, massages, new pj’s, a pajama party and a gift card to try out some new bras and pjs. Spending time with old friends and making new friends has been so much fun. Today I left Naples and drove back to Sanibel Island to hang out for a day or so before flying back to Houston.

FALL 2019 TREND ALERT | ZEBRA PRINTS
We’ve been seeing so much of animal print in the last few seasons and zebra print is definitely going to be one of the top trends of Fall 2019! With the 80’s and 90’s trends everywhere it definitely pairs well with zebra prints. No doubt Fall zebra prints will dominate fashion. Read on below for all of our top picks, tips and how to style!
SHOP MY LOOK
DRESSES
Move over leopard, there’s a new animal catching eyes and it is for sure the zebra! These zebra print dresses are for sure to turn heads. Whether you wear as a simple cover-up ( aren’t the colors on this one beautiful?), date night, or just brunch time, there’s a dress for every occasion.
TOPS
I’m loving camisoles this year (…I mean every year)! I absolutely adore finding so many animal prints on them. Not only are the zebra print camis popular but so is every zebra print shirt! Just how chic and sassy are these tops?
BOTTOMS
The same place where I got my dress in this post has paper-bag pants in the same style! Not only that, there’s skirts, denim, shorts, and these lovely bottoms (perfect for the office).
SHOES
Lazy day, slide on these zebra sandals! Feeling sassy? How about these sexy Vince Camuto heels! Or maybe just a jeans and T-shirt kind of day and these sneakers are fabulous to jazz up your look.
ACCESSORIES
If you are not ready to go all out zebra with large pieces then a fun way to do so is to accessorize with zebra prints! Bad hair day? Bucket bag hat it is! There are so many ways to accessorize with zebra and below are just a few of our favorite pieces!
WAYS TO WEAR
There are so many fabulous ways to rock your zebra prints! Below are some styling tips to help you look your best!
- Mix it up – Mix up your look with different patterns! Adding other animal prints is not only popular but oh so chic!
- Textures – Fun ways to add to your look is to toss in other textures like leathers, snake skins, denim, and metals. This sweater and faux leather pants make for a fab outfit.
- If the trend is bold for you and you want to try it, start with accessories. Earrings, handbags, even shoes are a great fun way to start.
- Go big – Give this trend the spotlight by rocking a coat or maxi skirt.
- Add color – Zebra print is a pretty neutral color so adding pops of color is the perfect match.
IN CONCLUSION
Animal prints can look so classy or sassy depending on which route you are taking with your outfit. Hopefully, you have found some new styles above and we want to know how you rock your zebra prints now and on into the fall/winter months! Scroll down below for our full list of top picks!

HOW TO WEAR CAMO All YEAR LONG
Camo has been seen lots and lots this year and is going to be one of the biggest trends this Fall. With it being super versatile and so chic, this week we are focusing on camo and how to wear it no matter the season. Read on below and shop away ladies!
*Prices are accurate and items in stock as of the time of publication.
OUTFIT DETAILS
CAMO FOR EVERY SEASON
Camo is not just for hunting season! It’s a fabulous and chic way to have a strong and feminine look. We first started seeing major camo from the Yeezy line a few seasons ago and now it’s all over the Fall 2019 runways and we cannot get enough. Below is our touch on wearing camo no matter the season!
ONE//TWO//THREE//FOUR//FIVE//SIX//SEVEN//EIGHT//NINE//TEN//ELEVEN//TWELVE//THIRTEEN//FOURTEEN
DAY AND NIGHT
TIPS
Mix and Match – Do not be afraid to mix patterns! That’s the great thing about the way the camo trend is appearing! It’s very bold but looks fresh off of the runway!
Tuck In – With our above collages we suggest tucking your top in. Now you do not have to tuck in the whole shirt, some (like sweaters) look great with the half-tuck going (the front tucked in).
Colors – Adding bright pops of color are a great way to really make a statement.
Textures – When wearing camo many think it’s too harsh to mix up textures with this pattern. That is absolutely wrong. Mix in leathers, skins, silks and so much more!
Layer – Layering is such a fun way to add depth to your look. Layer your tops and pieces of denim. An oversized coat over a camo top is too cute, casual, and chic!
OUTFIT DETAILS
IN CONCLUSION
Camo is not only for the military or hunting season ladies! It’s for us year-round, and to rock! We hope you enjoyed our tips and top picks this week! We’d love to hear how you wear your camo in the comments!

Weekend Wanderings | Fruits and Vegetables To Enjoy In August
Maybe it’s just me, but there is something about this summer weather that makes crisp fruits and vegetables seem even more delectable. And I’m usually asking the question…what fruits and vegetables should will we enjoy in August?
AUGUST FRUITS & VEGETABLES
Why shop local for fruits and vegetables?
Whether I am craving a juicy peach, a freshly-husked bundle of corn-on-the-cob or even a heaping bowl of green beans, I find myself perusing through local farmers markets and produce stands now more than ever before.
Beyond gaining inspiration and ideas for new dishes, checking out the fruits and vegetables your community has to offer is a great way to ensure the freshest, in-season ingredients for whatever you are cooking up next.
August is also peak-time for some of my favorite produce, meaning even in this Texas heat I can score some amazing additions to summertime meals.
If you are a gardener then check out this post that we did about what vegetables and fruits can be grown in your area and what time of year.
Waving goodbye to summertime fruits
- Rounding out the summer season, fruits like kiwi, peaches, plums, and watermelon will be making their final appearances of the year in August.
- Many berries, including blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are also fresh through the month, meaning that perfect fruit salad is that much easier.
…And hello to some new varieties
- There are also many fruits that are just getting started this season! Apples, cantaloupe, and figs are freshest this month and will continue to be available into the cooler weather.
Don’t forget the veggies!
- Local markets are practically brimming with options. Squash varieties like acorn squash, butternut squash, summer squash, and winter squash are all in-season, meaning the sky is the limit for gourd-based dishes.
- Corn is also at its peak…perfect for summer barbeques.
- Green beans, swiss chard, and zucchini will all be making their first appearances into farmers markets this month and will stay fresh throughout the fall.
With all of these amazing fruits and vegetables to choose from, I cannot wait to see what you all come up with. Just make sure I’m invited to the next family meal!
SHESHE’S TIDBITS
- Yesterday we left Colorado and flew to Lubbock, Texas. Today Norman and I plus several family members will witness our grandson Carson’s graduation ceremony from Texas Tech.

- Wide pants look particularly good if you define your waist with a belt.
- To give the illusion of longer legs wear wide-leg pants with vertical stripes on them!
- Also for shorter ladies super high waisted elongates the torso and also gives a slimming look.
- Balance the bottoms with a slim fitted top.
- Tuck in or tie up your top!
- If they are long, make sure they are LONG! You can always have them altered.
*Click on any item to shop!
IN CONCLUSION
Wide leg pants are on the top of the trend list. Every woman can rock them paired with the right top and shoe. Such a classic look and super comfortable. How do you wear your wide-leg trousers?

THE PAPER BAG TREND | Shorts & Pants
I’m sure you’ve been hearing the word “paper bag” followed by a type of bottom and wondered what it is! This is a pant or short with a belted cinched waist with either a fitted leg or relaxed, wider leg to them. While that may not seem flattering the paper bag pant is VERY flattering and oh-so-chic! This week we are all about the latest trend!!
*Prices are accurate and items in stock as of the time of publication.

PAPER BAG PANTS
One of my favorite styles for the paper bag trend is the pants. Soooo versatile and chic! If I’m feeling a laid back kind of day I’ll pair with just a white t-shirt, tucked in and some cute sneakers and I’m all set for my day, in style! This isn’t a style just for a relaxed day, oh boy can this be chic and sassy! With so many great textures, styles and colors to choose from you can easily vamp up your look. These trouser style bottoms paired with a camisole and blazer are for sure to turn heads.
PAPER BAG SHORTS
With Summer still being here, I think we all can agree that shorts are still appreciated! Pictured here are some fabulous paper bag shorts. Not only are they fabulous but they are less than $15! Wandering through the mall I saw these in the window and just had to have them! Paired with a blue jean jacket it’s perfect for that lunch with the ladies day. Below are my top picks for paper bag shorts.
IN CONCLUSION
This super popular trend is going nowhere and frankly, I’m loving it. Super flattering on all body types and great for everyday wear, resort wear or even to the office! What’s your favorite way to rock the trend?

Weekend Wanderings | Creative Ways to Practice Self-Care
Self-care. Two words we are hearing A LOT about these days. Sometimes this term can be a bit confusing because it seems to mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
For our purposes today, self-care means anything that makes you feel valued, supported, inspired, motivated, worthy and encouraged. Self-care means making time for yourself and using that time to focus on YOU. Both in little ways and big ways, self-care is super important and can make a big impact on our lives.
Keep reading for some ideas on how to integrate self-care into your routine!
Switch up the music
This seems silly, but I really swear by it. Think of this as your “guilty pleasure” music–the songs that always leave you dancing in the driver seat. Make a playlist of these mood-boosting songs and let yourself enjoy them to the fullest. Roll the windows down, turn the speakers up, or even have a solo dance party in your bedroom. Changing up your music, and listening to music that uplifts you, can have an amazing effect on your mood.
Get glammed
This one seems obvious, as we all love to feel pampered every once in a while. But if you can, try to have someone else glam you up–instead of you doing it for yourself. Even if it’s just in your local Sephora, there’s something about somebody else giving you some special treatment that makes you feel better.
Have a solo adventure
I reaallllly believe in this one. Most of the time when we make plans, it involves other people. But every once in awhile, it can be incredibly refreshing to take yourself out on a date. Make time on your calendar to go to dinner at your favorite restaurant alone, go on a solo hike, or take a road trip with no passenger. Give yourself the freedom to be alone with your own thoughts…and the results can be absolutely magic!
Take a trip down memory lane
I recently did this without necessarily knowing it was self-care, but quickly learned that it was EXACTLY that. These days, we rarely print out photos, yet we seem to be taking more than ever. The next time you’re in the mood of some self-care, go to your local CVS and print your most recent photos. Then, write the memory associated with the photo on the back of it, along with the date and the names of those in the picture. It’s a great way to remind yourself of the important things in life…while gaining a new collection of memories.
Want to take it a step further? Print out extra photos and send them to your friends and family in the photos!
Sound the alarm
If you’re looking for a routine, try this: set an alarm for every day, and have it trigger a certain self-care action. Whether it’s writing down everything you’re grateful for, giving yourself 15 minutes of reading, or just some simple deep breaths–let these alarms be a trigger to do something that impacts your day in a BIG way.
