It’s hard to believe that school is back in session, Labor Day is right around the corner, and summer is coming to an end. While it’s always sad to see pool days and lake weekends come to an end, we can not wait for some cooler tempatures! Lucky (or not) for us Texans, we should be having summer-like weather for the next month or so. This weekend we will be ditching the heat for a girl’s trip. It will be nice to experience cooler weather, and the feeling of fall! In the mean time, we have been busy searching for transition pieces to wear now and into fall. We’ve found some good ones for you! Shop this week’s steals and deals here:

fringe details

August 18, 2015

After being in Chicago for a quick work trip on Monday (hot & humid!), the cooler temperatures cannot get here soon enough. Now that we are nearing the end of August, we are hoping for a little relief from almost unbearable heat! But it looks like that relief won’t come until next month.. sigh.

To be completely honest with you, we aren’t huge fans of loads of fringe. Yes, we like it in moderation, some fringe on a shoe or a bag, or a touch on an outfit piece, but anything covered in fringe is not our favorite style. This white fringe sweater is a completely different story though. The soft fringe detail is our favorite part. It’s easy to wear with jean shorts now, but also would look just as cute with distressed denim come fall.

If you are slowly dabbling into the fringe like we are, you’ll be a fan of this darling crossbody bag, keep the rest of your outfit simple and add this suede skirt, it’s on sale now and perfect for fall, and some subtle fringe at your foot with this adorable ankle boot. Shop more of our favorite fringe looks at the end of the post- just click on the photo of the item you like!

casual gray dress for a day in sonoma

August 14, 2015

It was so nice to get a break from triple digit weather while in California. Although, the mornings were much colder than expected, it was a nice change! This gray dress was worn for a busy Saturday in Sonoma. Comfort was key, knowing we had a full day planned starting with breakfast at Boon Fly Cafe, then wine tasting and shopping around downtown Sonoma, and then the wedding itself.

This casual gray dress was found on sale at Gap, and it is still on sale (under $40!). It also comes in black, which we may be picking up next! We love the way it looks like a two-piece outfit, but has the ease of one-piece dressing. Made out of a soft t-shirt-like fabric, it is so soft, has great detailing, and is adjusting well to the beginnings of a baby bump. For the cool mornings, I opted for a jean jacket, but ended up taking it off later when the day warmed up. Espadrilles and a tan crossbody made for no fuss accessories for a fun day of exploring!

Speaking of baby, yesterday marked 18 weeks of pregnancy- it has just flown by. We are so grateful that everything is going well. Be on the lookout for an update in a couple of weeks…!
