sun on south congress

One of my favorite spots in Austin is South Congress Avenue… think quirky shops, delicious restaurants, and that distinct, fun “Austin vibe.” Whenever I make it back to ATX, I always (along with every other tourist) try to make a stop there. Along with window shopping and food trucks galore, it also provides a picturesque view of the downtown skyline.

Temperatures are heating up quickly down here in Texas, so this breezy blue sundress was perfect for an afternoon spent outside! And while wedges aren’t my first go-to for a long stroll, this pair from M.Gemi is so light and comfortable that they easily made the cut. If you’re looking for height and comfort (perhaps for fun travels this summer) I can’t recommend them enough!

I found this dress a few weeks ago at Nordstrom, and was so bummed that it sold out so quickly, especially since the price point was spot on. New pieces are coming in daily at this time of year, so I always try to keep tabs on new arrivals tab to not miss a thing! A good strategy to employ if you’re after a wardrobe refresh this season.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! After hitting Dallas, Houston and College Station all in a 3 day span (complete with a tire blow-out, which you saw on snapchat if you’re following along at LonestarSnaps… #ThankGoodnessForBoysWhoUnderstandCars #IWasWorthless #NotMyForte #FashionBlogger) my happy tank is full and I am exhausted. Looking forward to getting back in the swing of things and continuing to set up the new apartment these next few days! My headboard and rug just arrived for my room and I am so excited. It’s the little things!

P.S. Start your week off right with this fun new song from Justin Timberlake. I have it on repeat!
