Hey, fabulous ladies! You know how it goes—I've got some absolute gems in my favorites collection, and I can't wait to spill the beans and share them all with you lovely Glamour gals! So, let's dive right in and shine the spotlight on a few of my absolute must-haves! 🌟💄

WILD RAGS FOR RODEO

Sadly the Houston Rodeo has come to an end but wild rags will always be the perfect western accessory! We recently got in our first shipment of XOXO Art & Co wild rags and let me tell you, these babies are amazing! Each design is hand drawn and then they convert into artwork and print, right in the great state of Texas!! It matched perfectly with one of our Savanna Jane jackets and it was the perfect touch of elegance. And of course i had to pair it with our Brighton belt. 🤠✨

SIP N SHOPPING

We recently hosted a fabulous Sip n Shop at our Huntsville location, and let me tell you, the turnout was beyond amazing! 😍 It was such a blast catching up with everyone, and we're already counting down the days until our next event! 🎉 Nancy and I were absolutely thrilled to represent GUG in style, and these stunning new arrivals? They were an absolute must for the occasion! ✨

WE LOVE BUDDYLOVE

Anyone else have coworkers that keep the temps way too cold?? I think this is a struggle we can all relate to! But fear not, because I've found the perfect solution: this fabulous new BuddyLove Varsity Cardigan! 🌟 Not only does it keep me cozy in the Arctic-like office temps, but it also adds a serious dose of style to my workday wardrobe! 💁‍♀️ Trust me, it's become an absolute essential in my daily ensemble rotation! ✨

We got our photos back from our Carter's Florist photoshoot last week and our photographer, Yvette Wood, knocked it out of the park yet again! The florals in the nursery are so pretty and paired perfectly back with our spring collection. With the warmer temperatures outside in Texas (hang in there, Midwest girlies), it's time to update your wardrobe. From must-have clothing to trendy accessories, our new arrivals collection has everything you need to look and feel amazing while soaking up these beautiful spring days! I am loving all the new spring florals, patterns and sundresses!!

I know you Midwest ladies are still awaiting warmer temps and keep getting hit with some snow - hang in there! Summer is just around the corner! We have had a few cooler, rainy days here in Texas, too, and I pulled out one of my favorite velvet tops for one of them! Yes, I know, velvet, that's supposed to be a winter item BUT I put my little springtime spin on it and paired it back with a pair of light colored jeans, colorful wildrag and white sneakers! I think pairing the velvets back with a cute pair of white pants would also make it "springtime chic" until that summer sun decides to peek out!

I wore this outfit to Easter and had so many compliments on my pearl embellished denim jacket that I just had to show y'all! We just got a restock in and they are going fast! Denim jackets are perfect for year, round wear and the pearl detailing is so darn cute!! Pearls are also a hot item for spring and summer!!

It’s full blown summer here in Texas and I’ve found myself wearing Judy Blue Shorts ALL. THE. TIME! If your denim shorts aren’t this soft & stretchy, then what are you even wearing?? We even have over 30 styles of Judy Blue shorts in stock & ready to ship to you!
Oh, and they come in sizes Small-3XL!

This first pair of shorts have been my go-to’s. I’ll wear them several days a week! They are way longer, lots of distressing & have a higher rise on them. I feel like the higher rise helps keeps my gut tucked in nicely 😆

These shorts are a great option if you’re looking for distressed and lighter wash. These are super soft & comfortable. They are also a more cut off length but not too short either. I hate when shorts are too short! These shorts feature a frayed hem and patches behind the distressing! 🙌🏼

This past weekend all us girls flew to Montana to spend the holiday weekend together as a family and celebrate Gary’s 70th Birthday! 

With it already hitting the high 90’s in Texas & I’ve been working on cleaning out my closet so I had all my winter packed up! (Which by the way, be sure to join our closet Cleanout group on Facebook
The forecast was calling for chilly weather so I had to pull out a couple of my winter-ish items! 

I love this travel look. It’s super casual and comfortable yet still nice looking. I did black leggings, black top, black sneakers and threw in a neutral jacket, cute initial necklace & floral bag to make it appear a little more springtime looking. My jacket was the perfect weight - not too hot, not too cold - and matched back to several of my other outfits for the rest of the trip! 
Travel outfit
Day 1 consisted of driving through Glacier National Park 🏔 to see the waterfalls and beautiful scenery! We went on a small hike so I knew I had to dress warm & comfortable! I was so surprised at how lush and green everything was! I paired leopard print sweater with Navajo pearls and white Buffalo Earrings 🤍🦬
Since we are already in such warm weather down south, I knocked a few bucks off this sweater and vest as a little email special! Hurry though, the prices will go back to normal soon!

Outfit Links: Top, Bottoms

Glacier National Park is absolutely beautiful!! I definitely want to get back there sometime and experience the whole park! Unfortunately while we were there, the park wasn’t fully opened. So we didn’t get to experience a glacier or the full park—but it is still absolutely beautiful! The weather was a fantastic break from Texas heat 🥵 as well!!
Outfit links: Top, Jacket, BottomsGlasses, Earrings

The town of Whitefish is absolutely beautiful as well!! Definitely recommend! There are several Glacier made lakes with crystal blue water and lots of snow capped mountains! We were right in the middle of the Rocky's and omg so beautiful!!

Got back just in time for the full effect of Texas heat!! But this romper is perfect! Super light weight and breathable fabric! And nice like tid bit—hat outfits are the perfect excuse to wear a cute hat and not fix your hair!!

Hey friends!  If you've stuck with us this far on our road trip, then this is the last pics you'll get in my layers, sweaters and scarves.
I am kinda sad about not wearing a scarf everyday.  I really enjoyed matching those up with all the outfits.
Also if you want to follow along our trip, I have lots more pictures and a Road Trip 101 highlight tab on my Instagram: Follow Along Here!
I stopped at several post office locations along the way and mailed back some goodies to some of you! 
I hope you dropped a comment so you were in the running for a package from the mountains.
This sweater was the lightest weight one I took since it's really a spring/summer piece. Layered over this white top complete with a fun scarf and Judy Blue Jeans.
So grab it up ladies.  It looks really cute with shorts and skirts too!
Pink Sweater with Zebra Scarf
This next top (SALE!!) was super fun to pair up.  It was fleece so also super warm and soft.  While it has lavender in it, I chose to pull the green by pairing the jacket. But then I did pull the lavender tones by adding a wild rag in matching colors. Completing the look with Judy Blue jeans.  It was a cold day we took this photo in West Yellowstone area. 
Green jacket
I have been determined to incorporate my white jeans into these outfits.  I loved pairing these with the blush color top and wild rag too.
This next outfit was fun to put together.  I started with my basic off white sweater that I've been telling y'all to get.  I used it so many times this trip! Paired with this wrap and adorable button up.
The background in this photo was the swiftly flowing Clark Fork Rive in Missoula, Montana.  
White Sweater
Lastly I saved this next jacket till we were getting back into some warmer temps.  It was perfect to transition as we left the higher altitudes of the mountains. It's paired up with the same ivory sweater and scarf for a totally different look.  I couldn't resist grabbing a picture by these beautiful flowers in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Yellow Jacket outside of hotel
If you've been following our road trip, we arrived in Whitefish, Montana where our kids joined us for some fun times at Glacier National Park and we celebrated my friend Diann's birthday!

Hello My Peeps!
We have seen some beautiful sites this past two weeks and I hope you are following along. There has been snow every single day.  Some days just a small flurry.  Other days a full sideways storm of snow.
You can follow along on my IG stories >> Follow Along Here!
Layering has been fun on this trip.  While I thought I'd be shedding some layers mid-day, that hasn't happened yet.
This ivory sweater was so warm.  I layered with a collared Lysse blouse and I've found the wild rags keep my neck so warm! Jeans are Judy Blue
Ivory sweater layered with a blouse and wild rag
These shackets have been great for layering as well.  I didn't bring a large coat so I've depended on layers wearing this tie dye V neck (SALE $10) and beautiful wrap that I wore around my neck. All paired with white Judy Blue jeans
Shacket
 
Mega Falls was really chilly down by the falls. 
I was so happy I had on this sweater layered with this blouse.  Our Judy Blue jeans were the perfect bottoms. 
Coral Sweater and Judy Blue Jeans
This was a fun top (SALE 50% Off) to pair up with my ivory Lysse button down blouse and then pull it together with the Picasso wild rag.
Tie Dye Top
 
If you've gotten this far, here's just a few pics from this week.  
I learned what the 45th Parallel of Latitude is, Gary sniffed out a casino of course and we loved seeing all the little bison babies!
