Pop of Coral

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-style-blogger-eileen-fisher-toms-shoes-denim-on-denim-summer-style-2First off….these jeans are JUST $7! Trust me, they are awesome – I wear mine all the time! (No really, just ask my co-workers ha!). I went shopping for jeans a few months back and bought a pair of Lucky Brand jeans for over $100, then stopped into Forever21 to scope out their selection and I found these in all of their under-$10-glory. Bargain shopping FTW.

Little Striped Dress

I recently updated my Facebook cover photo to better reflect the spring/summer seasons…and as I was pulling images from my blog, I noticed there’s a certain pattern I seem to wear a lot of..stripes! From last week’s dress post (just $22 and so cute!) to this adorable backless striped tee post a few months back, it’s clear this print is here to stay…and I’m stickin’ to it!

Whether you’re dressing casually on-the-go and throwing on a pair of sneakers or roman sandals, or you’re dressing up your look with wedges and a colorful clutch (on sale!), wearing stripes is a simple way to add a playful touch to any look. Shop my favorite striped dresses of the moment (starting as low as $15!) and enjoy the versatile print for the remainder of spring and well into summer. It’s the best to buy items you can re-wear in multiple ways, and a striped dress is the perfect addition to your warm weather wardrobe!

Open Mind Open Heart: Looking for Adam

I saw this story pop up on my Feedly page while at work and had to watch the video….let me tell ya, shedding a few tears discretely at my desk just feels like the norm these days ha! I am SUCH a sucker for heartfelt anything, so even so much as a sweet photo can have me tearing up! It’s okay though, my department is seven girls…so they know this about me by now. 😉

Back to the point of this post though (the video below) – it’s about a son who secretly creates a video over the span of a year showcasing all of the amazing aspects of his mom in hopes she may consider getting back on the dating scene again. At the end of the video, he films himself revealing the video to his mom and her reaction when he asks if he can share this video with the world, in hopes that someone will come forward as the Adam to her Eva (her name is Eva). Her son is SO sweet and really captures her beautiful spirit and personality so perfectly, in a very genuine way and you can just feel the love he has for her. Prepare for a some happy tears, y’all.

Ps. I know Mother’s Day has passed….but we should always celebrate and appreciate our mommas! Thus, this video is right on time! 😉

We’re Gettin’ Hitched! Our Story + The Proposal

blake-olivia-engagementSoo…Friday morning the most magical, blissful, (insert-any-other-ultra-happy word), thing happened. Blake asked me to marry him! Okay so for those of you who don’t know the Blake + Olivia saga that has been the latter half of my life, prepare yourselves for a story.. However, I’ll preface with this – Blake has always been the one, the love of my life, my unicorn, the only guy for me, etc. Let’s just say when we met in high school, I was 17 and he was 16…the rest is history.
