Rainy Day in Red

Today is a rainy day here in Dallas, so that means it's the perfect excuse to wear my rainboots 💙

It's my sister's bday today so Peyton and I met her up for brunch 👭

Since its a rainy day, and my hair is curly instead of wasting my time fixing it, i just threw it up in this fun hairdo. 

Of course I had to have my mini me match me! Plus we got this cute leotard last winter and luckily she still fits in it. But I don't think for much longer lol its pretty tight on her. 

Here are more cute pics from our brunch today with aunt titi Adie. 

Titi Adie and Peyton playing with the rain😍

Happy Birthday sweet sister! 28 is a good yr!

Favorite Black Rompers

Every girl has to have at least 1 or 2 favorite black pieces, wether they are a black dress or romper! in my case so far mine are the two rompers above! 

The first romper is a fun very casual aztec romper that I can keep very simple. Literally barely any jewelry since it has a cool design on the front. I could pair this up with a fun arm candy (a ton of fun bracelets) but since I was in a hurry today, I didn't get the chance to really style it how I would want to. 

To finish off this look I threw on these straggly sandals that I got on sale at Old Navy this summer and my new favorite sunnies from Nordstroms that I also picked up this summer. Added a bold red lip and bam! so easy to style rompers, not much science behind it :)

If you guys have any questions on how to style anything, hit me up in the comments and Id be more than happy to help <3

Cutest Little Coffee Shop

This afternoon I ventured off to Highland Park in Dallas to have a coffee date with my beautiful little sister. At first we were going to walk around the shops and stop by Starbucks but then we decided to try a new spot. This place was called Royal Blue Grocery. It's a little mart with goods and a coffee shop with some delicious pastries and coffee. 

As you can see we are both lovers of sunnies! I got mine at Nordstroms and she got hers here!

Mine were only $12!!

Here's my whole outfit: Top is from American Eagle about a million years ago lol. and the bottoms too but I got those recently, so you have a good chance at scoring them.

shoes are from Nordstroms from around Chritsmas time but lace up flats are totally in right now so you can find them in a lot of department stores :)

Necklace is from Kay K Couture, link is here!

Thanks for stopping by and catching up about my day today!

DIY choker

Here's how easy it is to make this choker necklace! I bought the leather strap at my local craft store like Hobby Lobby for like $3 vs buying this same necklace at Nordstroms for $14! 

Measure out the leather strap to 66 inches long or a bit longer if your neck is a bit wider. 

Next place the strap around the neck like this 

Then repeat to bring the two ends forward like this!

Then final step is to just tie into a bow! That easy!! 

It comes in different colors too so you can match it with any outfit!! Let me know if you have any questions and happy accessorizing! 😘🙌

Sprinkles Cupcakes + Ice Cream Is Whats For Dinner

Tonight we treated ourselves to some Sprinkles Cupcakes + Ice Cream in Dallas. We hadn't been to Sprinkles since years before Peyton was born, so I had the brilliant idea to make it a family night. If you know me, Sundays and Mondays are our "weekend" My husband works irregular days so thats our weekend and I like for us to venture out of our bubble and try new things!

Tonight was full of delicious sweets and yummy carbs! Call it a cheat day!

Even Peyton got her own tiny cute Red Velvet cupcake! and surprisingly my picky eater ate the WHOLE cupcake!!!! It was awesome!

Followed by the cupcakes we took a little walk around the plaza and took some fun mommy/daughter pics! WHY NOT?!! she's only going to be this young once and when she's older she may not want to take pics with me! so I will soak it up :D

We even matched with our kicks! Hers are baby Air Force 1s and mine are Adidas Superstars

How cute are they??!!

The best part was this expression on her face after she had her cupcake!! <3

I made it extra big so you can really see it haha

and of course I have to end this blog with a smooch!!!

From Day to Night

The best part of jewelry is that you can literally take the same outfit you were wearing all day and glam it up to take it to a night time look. I was wearing my striped tee with cutoff jean shorts while I ran errands all day and at night I had a hot date with my hubby.

I didn't have enough time to change before going so I applied a bold lip and threw on a fun yet glam necklace on to finish off my look. 

Makeup: I wore a red lip in the color excessive, my 3D mascara and bronzer. you can get all products I used here!

Jewelry: I chose this gorgeous white and silver bouquet necklace you can get here!

Mother | Daughter Shoot (18 months old)

Peyton turned 18 months old on July 19th, 2016. So we decided to do a little mommy/daughter/daddy photoshoot with her since we have a nice camera and lens.

Below are some of the pics from tonight's photoshoot :

Matching mommy with her gladiator sandals <3

I will forever hold your little hand!

Proof mommy kissed me ;)

My dearest sweet baby girl,

Tonight (Aug. 2, 2016) was so much fun! I loved taking these beautiful pictures with you and forcing you to say cheeeese! walking thru that grass to capture the sunset at the right time was very painful since there were stickers all over my feet and dress, but it was totally worth it to take these shots with you! I love you so very much,

your mama!

Daddy's turn:

To my precious Baby Girl! To say that you are beautiful would be an understatement. These pictures tonight reflect what you really are!  You shine so bright and are full of warmth and bring endless life. Your spirit brightens my darkest days. Stay warm, stay fun, stay bright and optimistic! 

I love you with ever inch of my being! P.S. I love you!

Xoxo,

Gabby
