Hey ladies! August was such a whirlwind in the best way possible. From soaking up the last bits of summer sunshine to sneaking a peek at fall’s hottest trends and a much-needed escape to my happy place. My Instagram feed was packed with style, fun, and a little island magic.
In case you missed any of my posts this August or just want to grab the outfit details, here is the full recap of everything I shared on the feed last month!
1. Sun-Drenched Summer Style
You butter believe this August look was a keeper! Nothing said effortless summer style quite like a breezy smocked maxi dress in this trending butter color. It is comfortable, flattering, and one of those pieces I can throw on and instantly feel put together. I paired it with woven accessories and comfy slides to keep things easy from brunch to vacation strolls. And when it came to authentic designer handbags, @thevintagecontessa was my go-to whether buying, selling, or trading, they made the entire process so easy!
2. Sheer Genius & Anniversary Sale Finds
Sometimes the best part of an August outfit was what you didn’t see! A reliable strapless bra gave me the confidence to wear sheer tops without constantly tugging or adjusting a total win in my book. I also rounded up a few more of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale favorites that earned a permanent spot in my closet. Transitioning out of August is all about investing in quality basics, and these were the versatile pieces I knew I’d reach for again and again.
3. Neck Level Beauty
Some luxury skincare products come and go, but a select few earned a permanent spot on my vanity this August. The @reviveskincare RéVive Fermitif Neck Renewal Cream SPF 15 was one of those quiet repurchases I kept reaching for all month. The neck and décolletage are so easy to overlook, yet they’re often among the first places to show visible signs of aging and sun exposure. Adding a dedicated neck cream was one of those small habits that made such a beautiful difference! I have tried many, and Revivé is my favorite!!!

4. Quite the Catch for Date Night
Date night at the country club with Norman was all about keeping our August style easy, polished, and FUN! White jeans, red pants, navy shorts, or crisp white shorts these were the classic foundations that made getting dressed effortless. Mix, match, add a great top, and we were ready for cocktails. Plus, that playful little lobster detail on my top gave the classic look just the right amount of personality!
5. Stepping into Fall Prints
Chico’s Fall Preview Sale had me taking a little walk on the wild side this August and you know I’m never afraid of a great print! I styled python three different ways, first as a sheer blouse with Emme pants and then with brown jeans!, then as a knit tank layered under a cape-style trench with western booties, and finally as a silky tank with a python-print scarf. Tied around the neck, on a bag, or as a headscarf… python was looking pretty fabulous for fall!
6. Tennessee Roots & Texas Soul
Gown with the flow… because anything goes! Tennessee roots met my Texas soul in a gorgeous @maggylondon gown with a stunning v-neckline. I loved showing how one gown could take on three completely different moods just by switching up the accessories:
- Bling: Loaded up with diamonds and rhinestones for all-out glamour. 💎
- Pearls: Classic, feminine, and forever chic. 🤍
- Boho: Layered, relaxed, and just a little unexpected. ✨
7. Wild Now, Fall Later
Animal instinct kicked in for fall! Zebra and python bags made a big statement this August, but they were surprisingly easy to work into an everyday wardrobe. I focused on wear-now, layer-later pieces that worked perfectly in the late-summer heat but could easily slide into fall with cardigans, jackets, and scarves once the temperatures finally decided to cooperate.
8. Island Bound!
Bags packed, wheels down, happy place found! I headed back to Sanibel Island late this August, and there was just something about arriving that made me instantly exhale. Travel style was all about staying comfortable without surrendering an ounce of style, an easy matching set, comfy shoes, oversized sunnies, and a tote big enough for all my essentials. Once the suitcases were through the door, island mode was officially ON!
9. Cardi Party Time
If there was ONE piece worth investing in during August for the fall transition, it was a great cardigan! I took a classic Chanel-inspired cardigan and gave her a little attitude paired with trending lingerie-style shorts, though she looked just as chic over a little black dress or classic jeans. I also styled a softer neutral fringed cardigan with a romantic ruffle-neck blouse, and swapped into a graphic tee and denim for an easy boho vibe.
10. Linen & Lace
I loved a good end-of-August major sale! I scored this no-iron linen shirt from Chico’s lightweight, effortless, and so easy to wear. I paired it with feminine lace pants for a mix of classic and romantic textures that felt easy, breezy, and completely pulled together.
11. Sanibel Serenity
Some places you visit… others put you back together. Sanibel was truly that place for me this August. The sound of the waves, bare feet in the sand, salty air, and those sunsets that made everything else fade away gave me the perfect opportunity to slow down, clear my head, and soothe my soul.
12. Blue Story
One jumpsuit… scarf it up, bead it out!A sleek blue jumpsuit served as the absolute perfect blank canvas this August, proving that accessories could completely transform an outfit’s personality. I leaned into two favorite trends to play with the style:
- Scarves: Tied, draped, or wrapped for instant personality.
- Chunky Beads: Bold, playful, and the ultimate statement maker.
Same jumpsuit, completely different attitude. Sometimes you didn’t need a new outfit… you just needed to accessorize the situation!
August Instagram Final Thoughts
