I added a lot of little nod's to your dad's childhood bedroom with the trucks, clowns and musical bears. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lastly, this room was your older sisters, we spent countless nights rocking her to sleep in this very room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's been awhile! I thought this would be the best way to share multiple photos and link everything I bought for Elliot's big girl room! I can not believe she is moving up and into her new room, but I know she's so excited! </p><p>This room was a labor of love, more so for TC than myself. I'm still shocked he was able to build the built-in shelves without having any prior experience! He really did an amazing job with the built-ins and adding the crown molding! Another big shout out to my dad, who managed to skim the entire room and install all the beautiful wallpaper! Of course there are still little things I need to add, such as new window treatments and little personal touches, but overall- I'm obsessed with how it all turned out! </p><p style="text-align: center;">I linked everything possible <a href="https://liketk.it/4fg5w" target="_blank">HERE! </a></p><p style="text-align: center;">The wallpaper is <a href="https://sandbergwallpaper.com/lykke-sandstone" target="_blank">Here - Color is Sandstone </a></p><p style="text-align: center;">The Wordsworth collectors books can be found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1840227931?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details" target="_blank">Here!</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Customizable Name Bunting Garland can be found <a href="https://www.houseofhooray.com/" target="_blank">Here!</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am so excited to reveal Baby Bravenec's nursery! Getting this little girls room ready was a real labor of love and our family was such a big help. This room went through a huge transformation, from removing the texture on the walls to installing crown molding and larger baseboards. We also ripped out the old closet shelving and installed an Elfa closet system to help keep all of her things organized. The process took a few months from start to finish, and we can not express how thankful we are for all the hard work everyone put into this room!<br />
<br />
Overall, I wanted her room to be girly, a touch bohemian and "not too baby-ish." I started with her crib and dresser, as her room is small and I knew these pieces would take up the most space. I love the mix of boho textures and the mid-century modern crib and dresser. The next big item on my list was lighting. I knew this room needed a statement light fixture to balance everything out and add height to her small room. After I decided on the big pieces, the rest was easy! I found art work for above her crib and shopped the Anthropologie home section like it was going out of style! To make sure her room wasn't too "baby-ish", I focused on accent pieces NOT found in the nursery section of my favorite stores. Her marble inlay book shelves are from world market, as well as her toy baskets and wall mirror. I added the ceramic flowers, picture frames and dolls to her shelves to make her room a bit more girly and whimsical. TC's mom gifted us with TC's hospital bear, and we almost melted placing that bear in her crib. I absolutely love that she will share a bear with her Dad. I also have to give a special shout out to TC for gifting me with the cutest mouse in a box. I had been eyeing this little mouse for months, constantly hinting at him about how adorable I thought it was. One day TC handed me a little nursery gift and I was so excited to find that cute little mouse box inside!<br />
<br />
We are so happy with how her room turned out, it is easily our favorite room in our house! I am most excited to snuggle up with her in the gilder and rock her to sleep and I can not wait to add her picture to the little picture frames around her room.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, I hope this room comforts her and serves as a tiny reminder of how loved she truly is.<br />

<b><u>Where We Stayed </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When researching beach cities we came across Rosemary Beach and instantly knew it was where we needed to go. The city is relatively new, developed in 1995, but definitely has an established beach town vibe. There are a lot of options regarding places to stay, but we decided <a href="https://www.thepearlrb.com/?utm_source=local-directories&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=localconnect" target="_blank">The Pearl Hotel</a> fit our needs best. When we checked in we were gifted the CUTEST welcoming gift with a personalized baby onesie (picuted above)! It was the absolute CUTEST detail and really made an impression on us. Hospitality aside, we loved all the accommodations the Pearl offered. Each day they set up an umbrella and chairs on the beach for us, with complimentary towels and lemonade :) We didn't swim in the pool, but it was adults only, so beautiful and heated! The on-site pool also offered complimentary drinks and services provided by the hotel, which was really nice. Additionally, staying at The Pearl gives you access to 4 other pools located around town! <span style="background-color: white;">Which I think is awesome if you were looking to switch up your itinerary each day or explore other properties!</span> The hotel has two restaurants on-site, one pool side grill which served quick bites, and The Havana Bar and Grille, a more upscale restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Pro-Tip, we opted for turn down service a couple nights and I'm so glad we did! Each night they would leave baked treats for us in our rooms, everything from warm peanut butter cookies to little red velvet brownies. I was in pregger heaven! The rooms were nice, with awesome views of the ocean. We appreciated the Apple TV with HBO access, which allowed us to watch Game of Thrones on Sunday night, priorities, am I rite? Ha-ha! Overall, we LOVED The Pearl Hotel! We would highly recommended it and will definitely be returning guests! </div>

</div>
<div>
<b><u>Breakfast </u></b></div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://donutholedestin.com/" target="_blank">The Donut Hole</a> This place was amazing! Make sure you visit the Donut Hole hungry. The portions are massive and so filling! The Donut Hole has a full service breakfast menu and a quick take out donut counter. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.cowgirlkitchen.com/rosemary.html" target="_blank">Cowgirl Kitchen</a> This place was also incredible, we ate here twice for breakfast because I LOVED the Chipotle Breakfast Sandwich. This place can get busy, so come early! Also worth noting, they stop serving breakfast at 11 A.M. We almost missed breakfast our second visit, so again, come early! </li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Lunch & Dinner</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.lacrematapas.com/" target="_blank">La Crema Tapas & Chocolate</a> I think this might have been TC's favorite dinner of the entire trip. The concept is Tapas and fondue chocolate, and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds! We ordered the Crab Cakes, Enfuego Chicken, and Seafood Paella. All were incredible! For desert we split the traditional chocolate fondue and the light layered chocolate. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://georgesatalysbeach.com/" target="_blank">George's</a> This place was so good! Lots of menu options and a very back-home southern feel. They operate on "beach time" and do not accept reservations, so plan accordingly!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.calizarestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Caliza</a> This pool side restaurant is Instagram-photo heaven!A must see when visiting! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.thepearlrb.com/dining/havana-beach-en.html" target="_blank">The Pearl Havana Beach Bar and Grille</a> This is one of the on-site restaurants at The Pearl Hotel. We loved our breakfast here! The breakfast BLT was awesome! However, dinner was just okay. The service was A+, but the food was over-priced and didn't live up to the hype. If you're looking for a nice dinner, there are a couple other places in town I would suggest. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.thepearlrb.com/?utm_source=local-directories&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=localconnect" target="_blank">The Pearl Pool Side Havana Bar</a> we shared lunch here twice and really enjoyed it! The menu has a variety of pool-side food options. We shared the pulled pork sliders one afternoon and a burger the next, both were awesome! The portions were perfect size for sharing as well. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://slice30a.com/" target="_blank">Southside Slice</a> We ordered two-medium pizzas from here to eat while we watched Game of Thrones. Both. Pizzas. Were. Delicious! However, we should have ordered a couple slices a piece, the mediums were massive and we couldn't come close to finishing both! </li>
</ul>

This little getaway was much needed and so relaxing. We honestly had the best time and will definitely be visiting Rosemary Beach again! I hope this quick recap was helpful, if you have any questions comment below or email me! I'm always happy to help! </div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
I am SO excited to finally announce that TC and I are expecting our first baby this August! We are over the moon excited! We look forward to every check-up and each ultrasound is like Christmas morning for us! I look forward to Saturday mornings, as each Saturday marks a new week of my pregnancy. TC and I lay in bed on Saturday mornings and read the weekly updates on each of my pregnancy apps, it truly is the highlight of our week. It's the sweetest thing seeing all the changes that happen each week. I'm honestly so proud of this little one! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
We told our family and friends around week 14 and it was the best experience. I will never forget each persons reaction to the news and the overwhelming feeling of joy I felt. It has truly been the best experience of my life to date, I can not express how grateful I am. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>How I'm Feeling:</b> Overall, I am feeling great! I am SO thankful I never experienced any morning sickness. I swear I stocked up on crackers and ginger ale the day I found out I was expecting. I was fully prepared for the nausea to kick in, but thankfully it never came. However, I am exhausted. My new bedtime is roughly 8:30 PM on a good day. The first 8 weeks I struggled to get out of bed and when I did it was even more of a struggle to stay awake past lunch time. Now that I'm in my second trimester I'm slowly getting my energy back and starting to feel more normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Food Adversions & Cravings</b>: The first trimester I lived for bagels and cream cheese. We have never purchased bagels for the house prior to my pregnancy, but you better believe they became a stocked priority that first trimester. Toward the later end of my first trimester I began to crave waffles, also not something we typically keep stocked. Randomly one night I had the biggest hankering for waffles. I asked TC to whip some up for dinner, and thankfully we had some waffle mix in the pantry. Immediately TC started getting the ingredients mixed together and I set out to preheat the waffle maker. I searched high and low for that dang waffle maker until it hit me... it was gone! To my horror, TC had actually thrown out our waffle maker a few months back. Needless to say, this wasn't a pleasant night for TC. I'm happy to report my mother-in-law kindly overnight shipped us a beautiful new waffle maker after hearing about Bravenec Waffle Gate.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
As far as aversions go, I don't have many. There are definitely nights that certain dinners sound better than others, but nothing extreme. The biggest change is my lack of interest in sweets. I had the biggest sweet tooth prior to pregnancy, but not so much anymore. A single cookie will sustain my sweet tooth for at least a week...pregnancy can be so odd. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Gender:</b> Yes! We are going to find out if baby Bravenec is a girl or a boy! At my last appointment they were able to tell the gender, but we asked them to seal the big news in an envelope for us to open privately. I must admit, If it were up to me, I'd wait until delivery to find out! However, TC would implode waiting. I know for planning purposes it's best to find out the gender. It will also definitely help in the naming department, as TC and I have no clue what names we like. It's been a few weeks now and I have a feeling we won't be waiting much longer to rip that envelope open! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

I think that is all for now, but I do plan on updating you all throughout my pregnancy. I enjoy reading any and all pregnancy posts and I think it'll serve as a way to revisit my pregnancy experience for years to come. </div>

If you follow me on social media you'll know that TC and I decided to get out of town for a little New Years getaway. We decided on Fredericksburg, simply because what better way to ring in the new year then by winery hopping! I stumbled upon <a href="http://contigoranchfredericksburg.com/" target="_blank">Contigo Ranch</a> while searching for hotels in Fredericksburg and I'm SO glad I did! It is about 15 minutes outside of town, but well worth it. We planned on spending most of our days exploring the wineries, so the quick drive in and out of town wasn't a pain at all.<br />
<div>
The cottages have all the standard amenities, including a wine bottle opener, ha-ha! Every morning there is a complementary breakfast tote delivered to your room! The tote consisted of little pastries, breakfast tacos, granola in mason jars, fruits, fresh milk and orange juice. I loved checking for the tote every morning. Seriously, it was adorable. We absolutely loved our stay and I would totally recommend Contigo Ranch if you're headed out to Fredericksburg! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the way into Fredericksburg we always stop at William Chris, which is located right at the edge of town. It's one of my favorite wineries and the tastings are amazing! If you're planning on exploring multiple wineries, I would highly suggest looking into the various wine shuttles. We decided on <a href="https://www.290wineshuttle.com/" target="_blank">The 290 Wine Shuttle</a>, which was awesome! You can hop on or off at any of the wineries included in their route. The shuttle picked up every 15 minutes and the drivers were so nice! If you're wanting to visit a specific winery, I would suggest checking the website to make sure it is included in the shuttles route. Additionally, some wineries stop allowing non-members to take part in tastings at specific times. By planning ahead you could totally avoid any issues. The wineries we hopped off at on Saturday were:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Barrons Creek, I really liked this winery! The grounds are stunning. </li>
<li>Inwood Estates, known for their Tempranillo growing. </li>
<li>Becker Vineyards, Take the tour after your tasting! It was awesome!) </li>
<li>Messina Hof, family owned with a great selection for tastings</li>
</ol>
<div>
You could totally visit more than 4 wineries per day, we just decided to split the route into two days. That way we could spend more time at each winery. Our Sunday wine shuttle itinerary included: </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Grape Creek </li>
<li>Four Points </li>
<li>Six Shooter Cellars </li>
</ol>
<div>
Lastly, where to eat! Although we took advantage of the cute breakfast tote most days, we did decide to dine out for breakfast on Saturday morning. I would highly suggest stopping for breakfast at <a href="http://www.fredericksburgherbfarm.com/" target="_blank">The Fredericksburg Herb Farm</a>. It was delicious and the restaurant itself is super cute! If you're wanting something quick and easy, plus you like craft beer, you have to stop at <a href="http://www.yourbrewery.com/" target="_blank">Fredericksburg Brewing Company</a>. On the other hand, If you're wanting a nice dinner- I would suggest <a href="http://august-es.com/" target="_blank">August E's</a>. After dinner you must stop at <a href="http://thetreatyhouse.com/" target="_blank">The Treaty House</a> for cocktails! </div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
Sorry I don't have a ton of pictures to add, I tried to put my phone away for the weekend. I hope this round up was helpful! As always, if you have any questions feel free to reach out! </div>

When it comes to investing in my wardrobe I always prioritize denim. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trendy pieces come and go, but you'll never get rid of your favorite jeans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea to write this post came to me a few weeks ago when a friend asked me to point her in the right direction when shopping for a great pair of jeans. Immediately <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I started looking through my closet to find which brands were most predominate? Which jeans do I feel best in? Most importantly, which brands are worth the money and withstand the test of time? </span>After a few minutes of some true closet-soul-searching, I replied with a lengthy text listing off the pros and cons my favorite brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I'm being honest, jeans are <i>my thing, </i>and I truly believe you get what you pay for when it comes to denim. I've tried dozens of different brands, and I've discovered my favorites simply by trial and error. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I dig deep into my favorite brands, I think it's important every woman understand their denim style. Do you prefer a dark or light wash? What style fits your body type best? Personally, I love a distressed, mid-wash boyfriend jean. However, it's best to have a well-rounded selection of denim in your wardrobe. Even if you stick to one style, you might diversify your denim with different washes. If you're unsure, I love <a href="https://laurenconrad.com/blog/2012/09/denim-guide-how-to-find-the-right-fit-for-your-figure/" target="_blank">this guideline</a> for finding the right fit for your figure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">In an effort to keep this post concise and helpful, I narrowed it down to my top 4 favorites. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My Top Two High-End Brands </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>MOTHER Denim </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My holy-grail, come to mama, ride or die denim brand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In all seriousness, this is the brand you'll find most predominately in my wardrobe. </span>When I'm on the hunt for a new pair of jeans, I always start with MOTHER. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Every pair </span>I<span style="font-family: inherit;"> own fits me perfectly, wears comfortably and holds its shape. </span>I've worked long shifts in these jeans, ran errands in these jeans and even napped in these jeans. The oldest pair in my closet I've owned for nearly 3 years and they still look and fit perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">MOTHER denim is manufactured in the </span>United States<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and is known for its </span>super<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;">-soft</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;"> fabrics that comfortably stretch, without sacrificing the integrity of the jeans.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;"> T</span>he waistband on this denim is sewn in, not stitched, like other brands on the market. I love t<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">he pocket placement on these jeans, as it's slightly higher than a traditional style, giving the illusion of a rounder butt.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">Seriously,</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> these jeans make your backside look </span><span style="text-align: center;">phenomenal<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Most importantly, this brand offers a wide range of cuts and washes, catering to every body type and personality. The average price for a pair of MOTHER jeans falls in the $180-$250 range. </span></span><span style="text-align: center;">You can shop MOTHER denim at most major retail stores and online. I personally like to shop for this brand at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. In regards to sizing, for me, this denim runs true to size, but always check the size guidelines or reviews if you're unsure. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Citizens of Humanity </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Citizens of Humanity</span></span> is known for producing <span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;">the best </span>fits<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;">, fabrics, </span>and<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;"> finishes in the industry</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15000000596046448px;">. Impressively, each pair of COH jeans are handmade and manufactured in the United States.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
COH was one of my first premium denim purchases. I remember nearly fainting when I saw the $250 price tag, but after wearing them for months... I was hooked. The longevity and quality of these jeans are a few reasons I chose to include them in this post. In addition to quality, COH offers an extensive range of fits and washes. I find that these jeans are a bit heavier than some of my other jeans, however the weight gives these jeans a true "premium" feel and contributes to the durability. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite jean from this brand (the pair I'm wearing in the photos above) is the <a href="https://www.citizensofhumanity.com/womens/all-womens/crops/dree-crop-high-rise-slim-straight-in-cameo" target="_blank">Dree Crop</a> (more sizes <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/hUX9" target="_blank">here</a> in a different wash) They're the perfect pair of cropped high- rise jeans with a "worn in" vintage feel to them. I would suggest you size up in these, they're 100% cotton, so there's not much stretch to these! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My Top Two Low-End Brands</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>BLANKNYC</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been a big fan of this brand for a couple of years now. My first purchase from this brand was the <a href="http://www.blanknyc.com/store/women/womens-jeans/skinny-jeans/distressed-skinny-jeans/skinny-classique-40.html?color=good-vibes" target="_blank">Good Vibes Skinny</a>, which are actually included in the pictures above. With an average price of around $80, I love that this brand offers a high quality alternative to premium denim. In addition to being budget friendly, BLANKNYC offers a comprehensive selection of denim both trendy and classic. My only suggestion when shopping this brand online would be to pay attention to the size guidelines, as I have found the sizing of these jeans vary. You can find BLANKNYC online or in-store at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Treasure and Bond </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I'm being honest, what I love most about this brand is its commitment to give back to the community. Specifically, 5% of all sales are donated directly to youth organizations, awesome right? I own a couple pair of Treasure and Bond Jeans and I can say I'm always impressed with the fit and feel of these jeans. I recently purchased <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/treasure-bond-high-waist-skinny-crop-jeans-gravel-medium-destroy/4551823" target="_blank">these</a> (in-store) and I can't stop wearing them. The price range for T&B ranges from $40-$80, sizing runs true to size and I always feel confident shopping this brand online. Treasure and bond produces great, wearable jeans at an affordable price point. What more could a gal ask for? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, I linked what I'm wearing and some jeans I own from these brands below. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise I'm working on fixing the layout of my blog!<br />
The current layout does not feature widgets on my home page, which makes it difficult for you to quickly access this feature, arg!<br />
As a temporary fix, I wanted to quickly dedicate a post to an updated "As Seen on Snapchat" widget! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added items you've seen on my snapchat and current on sale-pieces you'll want to snag! I also included some of my recent purchases that you haven't yet seen on my snapchat, as they are currently on major sale! I would highly recommend snagging the Hinge booties ($44), The Girlfriend Denim (BOGO $19.90) and the Lush Shift Dress ($46).<br />
Oh, and my favorite Merona tee ($8)! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I included some beauty finds, pre-order items and a dress that I plan on wearing this weekend to a Labor Day party. The dress is marked down and selling fast, so I wanted to include it before it's sold out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Whew! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought this was going to be a quick and easy post, but things escalated quickly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Big Hugs, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year our family packs up and heads down to Port Aransas for three days. I must admit, even though I'm terrified of the ocean, the annual beach trip is something I look forward to. I love watching my niece and nephew splash around, build sand castles and spray un-expecting family members with water guns. I don't care what anyone says, turkey and cheese sandwiches taste better on the beach, and the sunburns are always worth it. (I swear we routinely coat ourselves in SPF 70+ yet somehow always manage to sunburn.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you wondering, we rented <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18344585" target="_blank">this house</a> at Cinnamon Shores. We typically stay here every year and the one year we didn't, we regretted it. I highly recommend this beachfront community, as it is family friendly with a great on-site restaurant, lots of amenities and the rentals are beautiful! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really wishing I could be back on the beach with a drink in my hand, but back to reality it is! I updated the sidebar widgets, but I'll also link down below. For size reference, I'm wearing an XS in the black off the shoulder top. I would suggest you definitely size up in the Levi's shorts, however the one-piece swimsuit runs TTS. I also linked my new straightener for those of you asking what I used to style my hair. I love it more than any straightener I've owned in the past! I love it so much that I'm considering adding the matching blow dryer to my Christmas list! </div>

At this point I think it's safe to say, <i>EVERYONE</i> knows about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The sale has taken over everyones inbox and Instagram feed. I won't go into the details of the sale or why you should shop it because, lets not kick a dead horse, but if you're interested in my purchases I linked them below! I also linked items that I purchased in the past that are currently part of the sale (Neulash and the Kristin Cavaliri slide on Mules). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm off to start my weekend a little early, so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheers to good sales and long weekends! </div>

First and foremost, I'VE MISSED YOU! I haven't had much downtime lately, but this morning I had nothing on my to do list (for once) and decided to share what's on my wish lists! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I make lists all the time. I have <i>numerous</i> lists saved on my phone. Everything from wines to try, makeup I'm interested in, places I'd like to travel, etc. What I like most about making lists is they help me differitiate between impulse buys and items that I truly want. I will sit on my phone for hours perusing stores online. Do you know how many cute items a girl can add to her wish list after browsing the net for HOURS? Today I went back through those lists and narrowed down items that I truly want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. We're going on our annual family beach trip in a couple weeks and I'm a sucker for organization. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/70437475675285/" target="_blank">This</a> drawstring cosmetic travel bag popped up while I was browsing Pinterest and I was instantly intrigued. I like the idea of not having to use gallon size ziplock bags to store my shampoo, conditioner, lotion ect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2. I never thought I'd say this, but lately I've enjoyed going to the gym. I'm on the hunt for accessories that make trips to the gym easier, lighter and more organized. I absolutely have to listen to music when I work out, but I find that my apple headphones are tangly and restricting... #annoying. If you have any products that you love for the gym, please leave those suggestions in the comments! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3. As you all know, I've gone a little lighter for summer. However, my hair and skin are naturally super dry, so lighter for me means even drier. Everyone raves about this <a href="http://www.sephora.com/hair-oil-P406922?skuId=1802099&icid2=products%20grid:p406922" target="_blank">hair oil</a> and it gets really good reviews. I think it's about time I pull the trigger and order it. My hair will thank me later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

4. This product has been on my list forever! I've been told it's an exact dupe for the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/luminous-dewy-skin-mist-P399623?skuId=1742337&om_mmc=ppc-GG_381463959_27499885239_aud-267332586942:pla-178154780439_1742337_97594849599_1026748_c&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy4zLBRCOARIsADfss37QNRvHfktmbRWREb0YePcfVD-514QVa3dDZekxPkb2Risi2WPfVQUaAoP-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist</a>, which retails for $48.

5. Y'ALL. I was in Sephora a couple weeks ago getting a sample of a BECCA foundation (product #7!) and the sales associate was so attentive! She zipped around the store showing me different products that would be great for my dry skin and making me samples. She applied the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/h2-elemental-energy-firming-foam-mask-P418315?skuId=1942572&icid2=products%20grid:p418315" target="_blank">Perricone MD Firming Foam Mask </a>on my hand and I was blown away! It's was one of those products I couldn't stop thinking or talking about. The mask was lightweight with a slight cooling sensation, when she removed it my skin felt hydrated, soft, and glowy! *Clicks add to cart*</div>

11. <a href="https://www.motherdenim.com/" target="_blank">Mother Denim</a> has become my tried and true favorite brand of denim. I own FOUR pair from this brand and I swear by them. They are pretty pricy, but I believe you should always invest in denim and shoes. A good pair of jeans are not only flattering, but will last you forever. I love the raw edges and faded look of <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mother-the-sinner-ripped-ankle-straight-leg-jeans-ice-scream-you-scream/4702266?origin=shoppingbag" target="_blank">these</a>. They are trendy, yet have that worn in with character appeal. </div>

12. I've seen quite a few bloggers and friends wearing the cutest utility-style rompers, and since have been on the hunt for one for myself. I love the versatility and simplicity of utility rompers, not to mention I bet they're so comfortable! <a href="http://www.revolve.com/central-park-west-santa-cruz-romper-in-army-green/dp/CENT-WR3/?sectionURL=bloomreach" target="_blank">This one</a> caught my eye and has been on my wish list ever since!</div>

We decided to get out of town and head west for my Birthday. This trip was one of the best trips we've ever taken and one of the best birthdays I've ever had. In true Bravenec style, we did not plan ahead, however we managed to see just about everything West Texas had to offer. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Where We Stayed </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We stayed in at El Cosmico in a Airstream trailer, it was incredible. The trailer had a kitchen, bedroom with a full size bed, indoor bathroom and an attached outdoor shower. Plenty of space to lounge and store your belongings. Although, I would suggest you bring an iron or steamer and a hairdryer. Additionally, it was really hot during the day, but cooled off quiet a bit at night. If you're wondering, I packed layers and a light jacket! The hotel has a main lobby where you can buy beer and a few snacks, however if you want to save some money I would suggest going to the local grocery store for drinks and such. The campsite was quiet and peaceful our entire trip and there were white tailed bunnies that roam around the campsite, it's beyond adorable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I would highly recommend visiting the the Marfa Lights observatory, the pool at the Hotel St. George and driving out to see the Prada Exhibit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I loved every bit of our stay in Marfa. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Where We Ate </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Marfa Burrito, best breakfast burrito hands down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Jetts Grill at the Hotel Paisano </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Food Shark, get the <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Marfalafel! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
For my birthday we had drinks and dinner at La Ventura located inside Hotel St. George. The NY Strip is massive. Trust me, you don't need an appetizer! The drinks were fun and the staff was wonderful. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We visited Big Bend Brewery. We shared a few beers and enjoyed a beer tasting. I really enjoyed the Tejas Clara lager! You can check out the brewery here: http://www.bigbendbrewing.com<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Next stop, Plaine Ice Cream + Coffee. Get the nitro brewed coffee, sounds extreme but it was amazing. I've actually craved it ever since! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There's not many restaurant options in Alpine, but El Patio had delicious enchiladas and speedy service! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BALMORHEA STATE PARK <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Be prepared, the water was cold, but refreshing and there was an abundance of pupfish. The pupfish are harmless and kind of cute! The park has a concession stand and a place to change into your swimsuit! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BIG BEND <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If you're wanting to camp in the Chisos Basin, you'll need to reserve your campsite at least 6 months in advance. The high demand for this campsite is understandable as the the basin is beautiful. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We decided to hike the Lost Mind Trail. It took us 4 hours to hike the entire trail, about two hours up and two hours down. I would suggest starting early in the morning; wear LOTS of sunblock, a hat, hiking boots and drink lots of water. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Bravenec surprised me with a three hour horseback ride at Big Bend Stables. I rode a horse named Luna, She was the sweetest horse. Bravenec rode Sleepy-Joe, the most laid-back horse to ever exist. I loved every second of our three hour ride and I will never forget this experience. The view from the trail was so pretty and we got to experience a completely different side of the park. <o:p></o:p></div>

LAJITAS <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There's not much to do in Terlingua, but you have to have a beer on the porch at the Starlight Theater. We stayed at Lajutas golf resort http://www.lajitasgolfresort.com. The resort itself was really pretty and the golf course looked immaculate. If we had stayed a second night I know Bravenec would have played a round. </div>

Happy Monday Friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all well and ready to take on this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited to bring my very first video tutorial to the blog today! I was such a nervous mess recording this, but a hair tutorial for my everyday waves is the number one request I get on snapchat! I hope that this video is helpful for all my girls trying to achieve a lived-in wave hairstyle. I love how effortless, yet versatile this hair style is. I leave it down day one, day two it's usually up in a half-up-half-down top knot and day three I usually incorporate some type of side braid! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, please leave any comments or questions down below! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Big Hugs, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I accomplished so many goals in 2016. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas State University with my Bachelors in Public Relations, I welcomed a new niece and saw my name in television credits. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have learned that sometimes I just have to have faith and trust in a greater power than myself. Faith has lead me to better friendships, higher goals and more love than I could imagine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most importantly, I continue to try to be the best wife and friend to Bravenec, because he is the greatest person I know. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Undoubtedly, 2016 has been amazing. However, I'm looking forward to the new year and the opportunities it holds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a lot of goals and aspirations for this little blog in the new year and I can't wait to share all of my ideas with all of you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I am so excited to share this gem of a tunic with y'all! It makes transitioning your wardrobe for fall and winter so easy. First, it's long enough to wear with leggings or jeans. Second, it can be easily layered for colder months and looks great under a cardigan or jacket. Lastly, I found so many color options for this tunic and price point options too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you notice that I styled two different shoe options for this post? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that I personally love to wear these mules with everything, but some of you may not. I wanted to style a more comfortable, casual shoe for my girls who aren't into heels. Not to mention, I have been wearing these loafers non-stop. I'm not kidding, non-stop. Loafers are going to be a big trend this season and I couldn't be more excited about it! I love the way they make any outfit feel a little more cozy while still looking put together. If you follow me on Snapchat (carolanna_b), you know I'm loafer obsessed. I have a couple pairs from Steve Madden that I love, you can find them <a href="http://www.stevemadden.com/product/WOMENS/Flats/CONNAR/pc/2163/sc/2214/229577.uts?selectedColor=GOLD-LEATHER" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

If you haven't noticed from my last couple of blog posts, I'm well into transitioning my closet for fall. I've been sorting through all of my last season cardigans, jackets and sweaters and adding new pieces as I go. One of my biggest tips when getting ready for a new season is to sort through all the items you have from last year. I will sit down and go through it all and decide what I love and what I can loose. Sorting through my closet also helps me decide between the trendy pieces I want and what I actually need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing I do when sorting through my closet is add notes on my phone. For example, the other day I was getting ready and I noticed all of my solid black tank tops are getting really thin and starting to look tattered. I don't know about y'all, but when I'm shopping the last thing I consider purchasing is basic essentials. However, If I look at my notes and have a reminder- I'm usually pretty good about purchasing the essential items I really need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last tid-bid of advice I have to offer is in regards to color scheme. In my opinion, fall has one of the most flattering color schemes to work with. You can easily transition your entire wardrobe by adding a couple of fall-colored items to your closet. For example, throw in a camel-colored or cream cardigan, cognac booties, and a good pair of dark denim and you're good to go. Don't think to much into it, because really the season will be gone before you know it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of my favorite fall colors are deep olive tones, berry tones, creams, and camel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(also, leopard print anything...because my name is Carolanna <strike>and I have a problem</strike>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I'm off to Pinterest my life away & hopefully figure out how to decorate my teeny-tiny front porch for fall. #pumpkineverything #helpmepinterest #smallhouseproblems</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am obsessed with the long-cardigan trend. They are so comfy and flattering! I specifically love how they make almost anyone seem taller! I'm average height, (5'5) but wearing this cardigan makes me feel much taller. I strategically purchased this cardigan in a color that matches almost everything, so I could get away with wearing it over and over! I can wear this with black jeans and a grey tee or over a structured patterned blouse. Honestly, the styling options are endless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I must admit- these may be the best booties I've ever purchased. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(They are technically mules, but whatever.) Again, the color works with everything and the chunky heel makes these bad boy so comfortable. I wonder if I can convince Bravenec that I also need these in grey...? haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My life is about to get pretty hectic, but I'm excited for what's ahead. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speak of, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also in my last semester of school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually just applied for graduation, and I couldn't be anymore excited! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your week is off to a great start.</div>

I am so excited for fall! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not care how #basic I sound, it's true. In Tejas we get about 3.5 weeks of fall and I live for those weeks. I love layering fall colors and pieces, big floppy hats and booties. However, I must admit, I don't like pumpkin spice anything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*gasp* </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't like pumpkin scents and pumpkin pie isn't my absolute favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get it twisted, I do eat pumpkin pie... it's just not my favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ordered this jacket a month or so ago during the Nordstrom sale and I'm totally in love with it. This jacket is one of those pieces every girl needs in their closet. The color is versatile and it can be layered over almost anything. I can imagine pairing it with a little black dress or with a simple tee, leggings, and running shoes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a little nervous ordering, as many reviews said this jacket runs <i>super </i>small. I would agree that it runs small, but I like the smaller tailored fit. I love the simple feminine detailing on this jacket and the material is super soft! This jacket is perfect, as I don't typically like moto-jackets with the big chunky belts sewed in around the waistline. They are too masculine and never work for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a size reference, I'm wearing a small. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted the jacket to be the star of this post, but of course I linked everything above! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What are some of your favorite fall pieces? </div>

Hello Hello! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't worry, I'm surviving summer school. I have 2 & 1/2 more weeks, and then I'm free for a few weeks until fall semester. Taking 18 hours this summer has not been easy! It feels like I'm in my dungeon/office from 7am to 7pm everyday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate that I don't always remember to snap photos of my outfits & post more often! I always forget and by the time I get around to posting, items have sold out! Thankfully, almost everything in this post is still available or should be restocked soon </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(*RM handbag in whiskey*). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had some free time this morning (for once) allowing me to get some content up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm rounding up my recent Instagram posts & linking everything I possibly can! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Click read more for additional outfits & links, there are 10 total. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope y'all are having a great start to your week & cheers to Monday!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you call an alligator with GPS..? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a navi-gator! Ha! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, okay- let's get serious because I'm seriously obsessed with this look! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's important to step outside your comfort zones every now and then and take a chance on something you wouldn't usually gravitate toward. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stepping outside my comfort zone is fun for me, because it forces me to be more creative with my looks. It's important to make sure that even though you branch out- the outfit you're wearing is still true to you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that being said, I would not usually gravitate toward this alligator print top.. but I'm glad I did! It's super fun and kind of edgy, which is something my closet lacks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was putting this outfit together I decided to make sure I incorporated closet staples and go-to's ; like my jean jacket and nude strappy espadrilles. This added balance to the eccentric tank top and made the outfit true to my style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added the yellow skirt to make the outfit girly, yet easy to run errands in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire day I felt fun, edgy and comfortable! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to mention that this print comes in a couple different options and I'll link all of them below. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So step out of your comfort zone this summer and take a walk on the wild side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun and it really adds some spunk to your wardrobe! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
see ya later, alligator! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Do you want to know my favorite thing about this dress? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that I can wear it as a little mini dress or over jeans as a tunic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pair it with distressed (duh) denim and sandals for a more causal look all the time! I've also worn it to my internship at the film school, I pair it with my beige jeans and throw on a cardigan with it and I'm good to go! Needless to say, the options with this "dress" are endless! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also should mention, I have been wearing these flatform espadrilles out! If shoes could talk, these would be begging for a break! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I don't know if you guys are fans of Desi Perkins or not, but I love her! I've been following her on Youtube & Snapchat for a hot minute now! She always "drapes" her jackets and I think it makes her outfits so chic! I've been "draping" a lot lately and I love it. It really does make any outfit a little more chic and I feel so Victoria Beckham, yaass girl!<br />

We have a lot going on this weekend & I'm excited to get the party started! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you guys have some fun things planned!<br />

As many of you know, I'm currently juggling Whole 30, taking 18 hours of summer school and our family just welcomed <i><b>a new little niece!</b></i><br>
Sweet Camille was born on 6/13 at 7:51pm. She weighed in at 7.3lb and 20.5 inches long!<br>
Both Mama & Baby are healthy and happy!<br>
Our family is so thankful for all the support and we love each of you!</div>
