With Love From Mississippi

This past weekend my amazing and fabulous cousin Morgan finally found the perfect apartment for her in Dallas, Texas. I could not be more thrilled for her and cannot wait to get over there to see it in person once it is all decorated. I decided since that may be a little while I should send her a surprise gift box from Mississippi filled with love and confetti of course! This surprise move in box consisted of a Thimblepress Confetti Push Pop, Thimblepress Cue the Confetti Card, Small Aspen Bay Volcano scented Candle, and last but not least a Spotted Matchbox with Pink Matches from Waiting on Martha! I am so glad that she loved everything inside of it! Now that she has opened it I can finally share it with you! See you tomorrow!

 

Lots of Love, Natalie

 

Dallas Part II

During my vacation to Dallas, Texas I made sure to really take it all in and see lots of different sites. I went to Katy Trail, Klyde Warren Park, Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, West Village, Main Street Garden, Thanksgiving Square, and downtown Dallas. A few places that I ate were Katy Trail Ice House, Urban Modern Mexican Kitchen, and Gleneagles Country Club. I would have to say my favorite parts of the trip were spending time with my cousins and touring their hometown. They have made me really want to move there after college. It is still southern but in the process of really growing. Hope you enjoy the rest of my trip! See you tomorrow!

Lots of Love, Natalie

 

DALLAS

This trip to Dallas, Texas was amazing and much over due. I got to spend a lot of time with my two favorite cousins! These two girls really are like the sisters I have never had! They are both amazing and very fashionable. Along with getting to spend tons of time with them I also got to relax by the pool and go SHOPPING!! The shopping on this trip was very successful!! I got lots of pieces of clothing that can work for the summer but transition into fall also. Plus, Christmas came a little early for me, I got a DKNY gold watch that I wanted thanks to Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale! Anyway, while I will cover all my purchases and fashion in another post here are some pictures from my trip! Enjoy!

Lonestar

Cowboys, Country Music, Boots, Horses, and Longhorns you know what that means, I am on my way to Dallas, Texas! I am glad to have a few days off from work to go to Dallas and spend time with my cousins! I will be there for five days, which means SHOPPING!! As you all know I love to shop! I can’t wait to go to Zara and H&M and spend my hard earned money. While everything may be bigger in Texas unfortunately my bank account won’t be. I am hoping to find some great summer clothes that can be wore into the fall that fit into my budget for this trip. Yes, you read that right I have set a budget for this trip. Now, keeping it will be a different story! Since my mom is coming with me of course I am hoping that she will pay for some of the stuff that I find!  Of course the main point of this trip is catching up with my two cousins! I can’t wait to get there and catch up on the past year with those two girls!  They are pretty much like my sisters since I don’t have any. Anyway, make sure to keep checking in everyday because even though I will be in Dallas I will still be blogging.

Lots of Love,  Natalie

Strange Effective Packing

Everyone I know thinks the way that I pack is so weird but I thought I would share it with you. The reason everyone thinks it is weird is because I try on different outfits and take pictures of them. I do this because it makes it easy to see what exactly I need to pack instead of just throwing lots of different items in a suitcase and hoping that I have cute outfits when I get there. Also this makes it easy to pick out all the accessories I would need to go with each outfit. When I am picking out the outfits I try to have versatile pieces that I can wear more than once to make lots of different outfits so that way I won’t over pack (or at least try not too). This method of the pictures and versatile pieces works get when I am going to be flying because I want to be able to have a light and almost empty suitcase when I get to my location. I want my suitcase light and almost empty so I can do a good bit of shopping and not have to worry about overloading my bag or making it too heavy. I would much rather spend $100 on something other than a baggage fee. Anyway, I am sure everyone is wondering where exactly I am traveling too. Well my destination is Dallas, Texas!! I am leaving Friday morning to visit my cousins for 5 days and of course go SHOPPING!! Since I will be there for 5 days I know that means lots of shopping, laying out, and even a little going out. This means that I need casual cute outfits for the day and some that can be dressed up for the night! Here are the outfits I have come up with for my 5 days:

Here are those leopard skinnnies

Expect to see many pictures from my trip! Also hopefully a lot of pictures of all the purchases I will be making! So make sure to check back in for that next week!!

P.S. Don’t worry even though I will be on vacation there will still be daily posts!!

Lots of Love,   Natalie
