What to Wear to White Linen Night
In just a few short weeks, one of Houston’s most fun summer events takes place, White Linen Night in the Heights. The event started as away to raise awareness and support local businesses in the Heights Houston area. Over the years, I think the event has turned into quite the social scene with everyone coming out in white casual wear to sip drinks with friends, check out local businesses, try out local food trucks and restaurants, and SHOP! The event is held in August every year, so your outfit must also stand up to the Texas heat with temps usually hitting around 100 degrees.
I attend almost every year with my friends, and I hope to make it out again this year. With the event being only a few weeks away, I wanted to share an idea of what to wear to White Linen Night. This outfit would also work for an outdoor festival, concert, or party. This gorgeous white high-low dress caught my eye immediately. I love the boho chic feel of the dress and how perfectly it flows when you walk. The details around the neckline give that added statement making appeal. It’s lightweight material and the dress movement makes this dress perfect for walking around a crowded street on a hot summer evening.
I wanted this outfit to have both a boho chic feel and a little Texas western vibe, so turquoise statement earrings and my peep toe booties were the perfect addition. They complete the look perfectly. The other shoes I would wear with this dress are a pair of flat gladiator style sandals like this one or this one. For a walking event where I will be carrying a drink and shopping, a crossbody bag is a must! It helps keep all your hands free.

Yellow Floral Top + White Denim
Hello and Happy Friday!! So for all my Nordstrom Cardholders, how did early access day one go for you?? I scored some AMAZING pieces this year. I can’t wait to style them on the blog. If you are an Instagram user, I shared a quick try on session on stories. I will also be sharing them here on the blog soon, so stay tuned! If you missed it, I shared some of my top picks of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in yesterday’s post. You can check it out HERE.
Now let’s take a sale talk break and talk about this gorgeous yellow floral top. I love the feminine look of this top with the floral design and ruffle details. I have a few sleeveless high neck tops like this and love wearing them for summer. They work with skinny jeans and shorts for the weekend, and this top style also works or work with skinny ankle pants for tucked into a pencil skirt. Side Note on this top, it does have some open crochet panels on it, so you will need to wear a cami underneath it.
Alright ya’ll, have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Casual Summer Dress
Happy Friday!! How was everyone’s 4th of July? It ended up raining all day with some mild flooding here in Houston. I enjoyed a relaxing day indoors before joining a friend for dinner and to watch the downtown fireworks. After a bit of a crazy work week, I am ready for a super chill and relaxing weekend.
This Leith tank dress may look a bit familiar, because I think every fashion blogger owns it, and I own it in black and have previously styled it on the blog (seen here). I love the black version, but I sometimes feel the black looks a little dressy for the casual look I sometimes want from this dress. When I was looking for other color options, I fell in love with this earthy purple color. It’s perfect for wearing under a denim jacket or stand alone with flat sandals.
I’m 5’3 and this dress comes to my knees, so for me it’s more of a midi dress look. With the bodycon fit, I like that the length sits a little longer on me. The middle is a ruched design. So even though it’s a bodycon style, it’s not super tight and has a little wiggle room. This dress comes in sooooo many color options, and it is going to be perfect for layering this fall with cardigans and boots.
Speaking of fall, we are officially one week out from the start of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! You know I will have you covered for all the best picks throughout the 3 weeks of the sale. I would love to know what items you plan to buy during the sale. Drop me a comment with what you are hoping to score a good deal on during the Nordstrom sale!
Ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Pink Halter Top + White Denim
Hello Hello! I love a bold pink halter top for summer! I own a couple of them and wear them so many different ways. The bold color makes a great statement against white skinny jeans. I added in my fun floral mule sandals and double hoop earrings for a dressy casual summer outfit. Ya’ll I’m obsessed with these heels. I manage to wear them every week with so many different outfit styles. Check out my Insta Stories OOTD highlight reel to catch a couple ways I have styled them.
Another idea for this top is with dark skinny jeans and my purple floral pumps. I wore this outfit a few weeks ago for a girls’ night out. I posted the look to Instagram, you can check it out HERE. Halter tops also pair really well with shorts and wedge sandals or even a flat sandal. You may remember me pairing my distressed shorts with a different halter a few weeks ago, HERE. Halter tops are such a versatile piece for summer and a staple in my closet.
I hope ya’ll are having a good week! I feel like I am one of the few people heading into the office this week, but I have fun plans tomorrow with friends including pool time and fireworks. Have a fun and safe 4th of July!!
