Madison Reed to the Rescue

I recently was given the opportunity to give a new salon near me a try and I’ll be honest my first thought was, I already have a salon so why would I do that? However, my interest was peeked so I decided to look it up and once I did I realized it was not your average salon. In today’s blog, I will be giving you a look at Madison Reed Color Bar Salon and what they are about.

MR4

Madison Reed Color Bar offers multiple color services that are perfect for the woman on the go, that does not have time to sit in a salon for six hours of hair treatment when you need that color boost! They have a specially trained color mixologist on site that will color match your hair to ensure you get the perfect color for all your hair color needs and wants.

Whether you are looking to go back to your natural color, cover grey or add a boost to your highlights, they can handle it all.  I chose to do the gloss and blow out services and have shared before and after pictures for you here.

This is the perfect solution for me, being an Instagram influencer, I have photo shoots   that pop up and I do not always have time to schedule a six hour highlight appointment. The gloss treatment literally takes thirty minutes and I am in and out looking refreshed and not stressed in time for my shoot! In addition, they offer products for at home use. If you do not have time to go sit in the salon, you can stop in and pick up the products and DIY at home! How awesome is that option for those mom’s that have little to no time for themselves as it is?! I have linked the website and services here for you:

SERVICES

ROOTS ONLY

Permanent, long‑lasting color for roots (single process, no bleach, no highlights)

ROOTS + GLOSS

Permanent color for roots + Refresh color + boost shine

I highly recommend Madison Reed Color Bar and thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. From the no hassle scheduling, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, to the excellent results! Please feel free to drop me any questions you may have or tell me about your experiences with Madison Reed Color Bar Salon! As always, much love to you all,  XOXO – SheShe!

Stand Out. For Good. An ALTAR’D STATE of Mind

My daughter and I have been going on shopping adventures together since she was knee high to a grass hopper and we have always had the same sense of style. Recently she introduced me to a new store on one of our shopping trips, ALTAR’D STATE. She kept raving about how much she loved this place, how nice the staff was, the quality of the clothing and most importantly what really caught my attention was when she stated how great she felt when she went there. As a mom, I pried into this statement and she of course was happy to go into details. My daughter began to explain about the amazing culture of the store and how a portion of the net proceeds actually go back to various organizations, being for the homeless, cancer and missions. And this is not just on a random basis, this is year around. She actually said being in the store brought a sense of peace to her. With all of these amazing things I was hearing, I had to check this place out! So I did and the moral of this antidote is every she said is absolutely true and I am obsessed with everything about ALTAR’D STATE!

Being a fashion forward individual, I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of this amazing culture and share it with all of you as soon as possible. On today’s blog, I will be sharing the ALATAR’S STATE of Mind and what it’s all about. It’s rare to find a store that actually has a mission, and this one does! The mission, which can be found displayed proudly in each location and on their website states, “Our mission is to serve as an inspiration, empower others and give more than we receive. We do this by lifting those who need a helping hand, volunteering our time to enrich lives, and extending the power of prayer.”  That is powerful , inspiring and empowering!

“TRUE BEAUTY: Together  we will change the world for the better. We will positively impact those who need it most. We will warm souls and create happiness.”

ALTAR’D STATE sells a variety of items in store and online from clothing, to baby items, jewelry and home goods. You are greeted by an associated at the door every time you visit the store and not to be pushy , but just to say hello , a compliment or how are you! Again, another feel good aspect of this awesome store. The store has the items mixed in together strategically through-ought the store in a way where you get to see everything while shopping the clothing items as well.

The dressing rooms are located in the back of the store and they are something to behold! You are again greeted by an associate, who uniquely labels you dressing room with your name (nice touch)!The dressing room area is beautifully lit and well appointed with big mirrors and plenty of walking space to strut your looks back there in your try ons! This is definitely one of my favorite places in the store!

The store also offers a sale room in the back of the store. That’s right! An entire room filled with items on sale! Clothing, shoes, jewelry, home goods, it’s all in there! You want to make sure you hit this space up for sure for some great deals!

Once you have made your selections and are ready to check out, you can find the registers located in the back of the store. There are always plenty of sales associates at the counter, so you will never be waiting long! The sales associates fold each clothing item and wrap it in tissue paper when bagging up your purchases, which again is such a nice touch. The final touch is they bring your bags around to you and hand them off to you , thanking you and wishing you well. This may not sound like much, but as an avid shopper, this is an extremely gracious touch and makes for a great shopping experience.

Flower Vault Picture Wall Venues

Everyone dreams of having a personal photo shoot background playground at their fingertips and the wait is over! I ran across this amazing spot while scrolling through my Instagram feed and wanted to share it with you in today’s blog post. The venue is called The Flower Vault and it is a pop up venue that allows customers to come and share in the beauty of several different flower walls that are beautifully placed throughout the venue. The Flower Vault is currently located in Houston and San Antonio locations. They offer appointments, as well as walk ins. You are allowed an allotted time (an hour for walk ins) for the price of entry and you can take your own photos or bring a photographer. They also have a restroom available at the venue for wardrobe changes or those last minute make up touch ups! In addition to the actual flower walls located in the venue, there is some very cool lighting fixtures that make for some awesome pictures as well! I am sharing all of the flower walls at the Houston location in today’s post so you will have a great idea of all the choices you have and hopefully some inspiration to go and make a visit and make some awesome memories too!

This is the red and pink rose flower wall. Perfect for literally any occasion, because what is more timeless?!

The next flower wall in the venue is the “yellow room” that includes a massive sunflower on one wall and several tiny sunflowers on the adjacent wall that form hearts! Completely adorable!

Whomever said blue is not your color has definitely not seen you in this flower room! This blue rose flower wall was one of my favorites in the venue! This room would be perfect for so many types of pictures, from engagement to baby announcements!

Probably the most fun room in the venue is this next room,  that is floor to ceiling filled with sunflowers! You can not help but smile in this room! I truly enjoyed every second in it (as you can see!)

These are some of the cool lighting fixtures and pictures we took with them….

The next room is a multi floral room with multi colored stones that are strategically placed throughout to be used in any way you wish to take cool photos! (just don’t step off the stones or you will crush the flowers!) This room is amazing, as it is truly covered in flowers!

There is a very cute seating area full of plush pillows, against a pale pink wall, that is included in the venue as well for those that wish to use it. This would make a great setting for group pictures or pictures with your little ones or even your fur babies! I went during the Easter holiday, so I incorporated it in my photos.

I hope you have enjoyed today’s blog post as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you! Please take the time to check out the Flower Vault if you are in the San Antonio or Houston area. You will not be disappointed! Below is a link to their website so you can check out their hours, schedule an appointment, or take a look at the many other gorgeous pictures they have up on the site!

Spring Swimmie TryOns

The temperature is rising and you know what that means, swimmie season is upon us! In today’s blog I am sharing a few of my favorite places to shop for swimmie’s! (And yes there are sales going on!)

  First up is this adorable floral underwire bandeau top and ruffle side tie bottom from Venus Swimwear. The colors in this swimsuit are bright and fun! The top comes with straps that can be worn for extra support or removed for more of a casual look. The bottoms tie at both sides, so they have some adjustment to them as well. I am wearing a size 2 for reference. I have linked both pieces below for you and they are currently on sale!

  Revolve Clothing is always a great place to find swimwear each year. They always have the latest and greatest styles and trends. In addition their selection is phenomenal.  I am guilty of spending hours browsing through their vast inventory of amazing finds! This Tularosa  Nina swimmie is one of the many awesome pieces they offer . I have linked the top and bottom (sold separately) for you below.

     One of my all time favorite places to shop for clothing is Express,  and I bet you did not know they sold swimwear! Yesss! They certainly do,  and not just any swimsuits either, absolutely stunning swimsuits! The kind that will definitely catch an eye or turn a head! This particular swimsuit, I purchased last season for a photo shoot and did not get the opportunity to wear it because the shoot got rained out. I was completely bummed out because it was at the end of the season. Not to worry though, as it was my first go to this season! I am wearing an xs in size for reference and I have linked several of their one piece styles for you below! Trust me, you need to check them out!

     Last, and certainly not least, is my local favorite swimmie shopping spot, Target! I can always find a cute swimsuit each season at Target. They carry a variety of one pieces, bikinis and cover ups to choose from. The beauty is that they are local, so if you are in a pinch and don’t have time to wait for shipping, problem solved! I am wearing an xs in this cute high wasted,  striped two piece pictured below. I have also linked some of my favorites from their site for you.

Loft April Try On Sesh

I am beyond excited for today’s post! The weather has warmed up a bit and I actually had a few hours to spare in between appointments, so I had the opportunity to visit the Loft store at Kingwood Commons. Let’s just say, I was not disappointed! I am sharing my try on sesh with you in today’s blog and hope you enjoy the pieces as much as I do!

To start, everything in the store was on sale! (and I do mean everything!) Score! The first item I am sharing is this fabulous Chevron Double V Sleeveless Swing Dress. I am wearing a size xs for reference. This dress is lightweight, flowy and versatile. You could easily wear it with sandals, tennis  shoes or even dress it up with heels. A perfect staple piece for your wardrobe! I have linked it below for you.

This piece is another versatile item that could be worn so many ways! It would be super cute with a denim shirt or with a solid like pictured below. Either way, it’s gonna be cute!

Of course I found some casual pants options during my try on sesh that I am also very excited about sharing today as well! We all need some casual pants for those chillier mornings or late night baseball games or casual days at the office. Not too worry, I have got you covered today!

This first item is from one of my favorite brands, and it is the Lou & Grey Tie Waist Linen Pants. If you have been on the hunt for linen pants for Spring and Summer, your hunt ends here! These are the pants! These pants are light weight linen with a paper bag waist detail, button front and tie sash. The stripe detailing just adds that “extra” that we all love! I am wearing the xs for reference. I paired them with the Petal Sleeve Tee and this tee is amazing! It is so soft and I absolutely love the delicate detailing on the sleeves. Both of the items came home with me! I am also wearing an xs for reference in the tee. The tee is linked below for you as well.

Now let’s talk Chinos ladies! How hard is it to find the right fit? I am 5’2 and I have the hardest time finding a pair that are not too long, too baggy, too skinny… the problems go on and on. The search is over! Loft offers a petite chino! Yes! You read that right! I am beyond excited to find these Petite Roll Cuff Girlfriend Chinos and will definitely be investing in more of these. I am wearing the Petal Sleeve Tee with them. The link for them is below.

Last, but certainly not least is a good pair of white jeans for Spring and Summer. There are several cute options and styles at Loft. I am sharing the Modern Button Cuff Slim Pocket Skinny White Jeans today because they are so adorable and different. Everyone has the same white jeans, so it is refreshing to see something different! The button detail on the bottom of these is awesome! The only down fall is the smallest size is 26, so I ended up going with another white jean, that I have also linked for you below! I paired them with this Striped Weather that is perfect for Spring and is also on clearance right now! It is also linked below for you.

There was a HUGE wall of clearance items in addition to the entire store being on sale, so major scores. I picked up this adorable Dotted Signature Cardigan in size xs! This is another staple piece that would look great over a cute dress or also with some cute linen shorts! I paired it with the Essential Shirt Tail Tank in white , wearing size xs and the Modern Button Cuff Slim Pocket Skinny White Jeans. I have linked both of these for you below.

Summer Style Try On Sesh

When I think of summer style, I think of cut off denim shorts, linen and cool colors! I am always on the hunt for my summer wardrobe in early spring and this year is no different! Since I am already a huge fan of the denim jeans by Abercrombie and Fitch and I like their fit, I decided to give them a try for some summer style!

In today’s blog I am sharing a try on session from Abercrombie & Fitch of a summer haul I just received. The items are so adorable and I could not be more excited to share them with you!

My favorite item from the summer haul are these Rigid Low Rise Denim Shorts . You can probably tell from the expressions on my face that these shorts do not disappoint! I am 5’2 and 115lbs and have the hardest time finding cut off denim shorts that are flattering. They are usually too short, too long or bunch up in very unflattering areas. Not these! They have plenty of length in the legs, cute distressing, slits on both sides and are low rise! I mean, seriously pure perfection! They come in 7 different colors as well!

Now, let talk about this super soft and comfy Boyfriend shirt! (And not too mention this cute print!) This is the absolute softest shirt ever and I was completely surprised when I tried it on. It is such a versatile piece as well because it can be worn with shorts, jeans, a skirt or as a cover up for a swimmie or an accessory over a dress! I am wearing a small for reference. I have linked both of these items below for you.

The next item in the try on session that I received are these Women’s Mid Length High Rise Denim Shorts. These shorts are the perfect pair of high rise shorts! I am normally not a fan of high rise shorts because I feel like they ride up and then become too short on me and are unflattering. These shorts do not do any of those things. They stay in place, have some stretch to them and are the perfect length! I love the cut off detailing at the bottom of them as well. It is over done to create a distressed look. I am wearing a size 26 for reference and have linked these for you below.

The last items in the summer try on haul are such pretty pieces. They far outweighed my expectations! The quality of the pieces was phenomal. The first item are these High Rise tie -front shorts. They are a light pink color and are a very light weight linen material that is perfect for Spring and summer. They have functioning buttons down the front, as well as the tie sash belt. Along with the shorts I received this gorgeous fully lined linen blazer, which matches the shorts. These two items are sold separately on the website, however they do match. This blazer is everything! A very versatile piece that can be worn with shorts, a dress or even jeans. The last item is this delicate white cami tank with lace detail. This tank is such a sweet little item that you can literally wear with everything! I am wearing a small in the shorts and blazer for reference and have linked all of these items below for you.

Academy Try On Sesh:Athleisure

There is absolutely nothing better than comfy cozy athleisure wear, who else is feeling me on this? The days of buying athleisure wear for going to the gym or work out wear only, are long gone. In today’s world, it is our go to for travel, running errands, or simply vegging on the couch catching up on your favorite tv shows!

With an upcoming surgery this week and the possibility of spending the night in the hospital, I decided to do a little athleisure shopping today. I wanted something comfy and yet cute, especially since I will be under the weather so to speak. I went to our local Academy, here in Tomball, TX and am sharing my finds in today’s blog.

The first items I tried on were from the Under Armour brand. The pants were a jogger style pant and I am wearing an XS for reference. The top is a sweatshirt , but the band is loose at the bottom and not fitted. I am wearing a size Small in the top because I wanted a looser, oversized fit. ubderarmourgrey1

 

 

 

underarmourgrey2The pants and the sweatshirt are both a super soft cotton material. I would recommend sizing up if you want more of a baggy or oversized fit, as both the pants and sweatshirt have slender fit to them.

This style also comes in multiple colors and I have linked these items here for you :

The second set of athleisure wear I tried on was from Adidas. It was a cute medium grey and pink set. The pants were a grey jogger style pant with pink branding on them. I am wearing a size XS for reference in the pants. The hooded jacket zips up the length of the front and has pockets. I am also wearing an XS in the jacket, which is also a grey color with pink branding. I would suggest sizing up in the pants and the jacket if you want a looser fit. I am wearing a quarter length sleeve baseball ADIDAS pink tee, also in size XS. The ADIDAS tee runs big (I have it tucked in the front of the pants, but could easily be worn untucked with leggings).

Both the jacket and the pants are made out of a thicker cotton blend and are extremely warm and comfy. I believe the pink branding is only available in stores. I have linked these and or similar items here for you:

https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/adidas-womens-sport-id-baseball-t-shirt#repChildCatSku=115001556

The next athleisure set I tried on was one of my favorites and such a classic in white! The set was another Adidas set. The pants were a white jogger style pant with black stripes down the sides. They, unlike the other sets I tried on, were a looser fit. I am wearing an XS for reference, but they fit more like a Small. The hooded jacket has pockets and a zipper that runs the length of the front. There is black stripes down the sleeves of the jacket as well. Both the jacket and the pants are a heavier cotton /fleece mix and are super soft. I am wearing a size Small Adidas branded rainbow tee underneath the jacket. The tee runs large.

Last, but certainly not least, is an oldie, but goodie and also an Adidas brand. The Adidas designed to Move straight Pants, are my  go to athleisure pants of all time! These pants are a staple for an Woman’s closet. They are a loose-fitting straight pant with an elastic waist (for those days you deserve that treat) and pockets. They also have the classic white stripes down the sides, which add a classic look to them. I am wearing a size XS, however I did buy the size Small. I paired it with a classic pull-over Adidas Sweatshirt also in size small.

Today was such a fun try on sesh at Academy and I had a hard time choosing between all the great athleisure wear they had to choose from! I ended up getting some great items and can’t wait to be comfy cozy in them later this week and throughout the coming winter season! I would love to hear what your favorite athleisure wear is and see some of your favorite items! Please feel free to share in the comments below!

Versatility in Stripes

Versatility is the biggest bonus you can get when purchasing a piece of clothing. This striped top that I ran across at Diamonds and Rust Boutique in Huntsville, TX , is the perfect example of a versatile WIN!!!! I was super excited to find it in my size as well, being size small.  This will be an item that will get multiple uses through out the seasons! In today’s blog, I am demonstrating just a few of the many ways to style a striped top, such as this one. I will also be linking a few similar tops for you!

The first way I styled this striped top is with a pair of white Kancan distressed cut off shorts. I simply tucked in the front and left the tail untucked for a comfy look. I also wore this out today to run errands and threw a plaid shirt around my waist and it was adorable! I’m wearing a pair of red Converse and a red tassle necklace from Kendra Scott to accessorize. Below are links for the shorts and shoes for you.

I styled the striped top with a pair of high waited kaki pants from Target for a more sophisticated look. The pecan hat I’m wearing to accessorize is from Vici Dolls and I have linked it below for you as well. This would be a great look for work or brunch with the girls!

And last, but certainly not least, and definitely one of my favorite looks – I styled this striped top with a velvet skirt from Lulu’s for a classic Fall feel! I accessorized with a plaid blanket scarf also from Diamonds and Rust Boutique and a Captain hat from H&M.  The boots I’m wearing are from Target and I have linked those below for you as well. This would be a great pumpkin patch outfit or a night out with your sweetheart!
