Pamperama with Soap and Glory

December 17, 2018January 1, 2019by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment

Hey friends!

I recently partnered with Soap and Glory and it was so fun! I’ve used their products before (the body lotion and the foot lotion), so I was totally on board to try more of their goodies! The Paperama set below is fantastic; it includes a bath bomb, hair wrap, body wash, eye patches, face mask, hand lotion, and their famous body butter!

This gift set can be found at your local Walgreens and right now, it’s 50% off, coming to only $20! How amazing would it be as a gift for any gal on your list?!

Be Your Own Valentine

February 14, 2018February 11, 2018by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment

Well, y’all, the day has arrived. V day is here.

Now, some people think it’s an overrated holiday forced upon us by big corporations.

However, I think it’s just an extra day out of the year to shower ourselves and the people we care about with some extra love! I am currently single, but that doesn’t stop me from buying into the hype of Valentine’s Day. I sent out my snail mail with vintage-inspired Valentine’s to my nearest and dearest, treated these fingers and toes to a mani/pedi, and bought myself flowers (because according to Henri Matisse, there are always flowers for those who want to see them). Whether you’re celebrating with your SO, getting a group together for a GALentine’s dinner, or hanging by yourself with some Hershey kisses, be good to you and give yourself an extra pat on the back with love today.

Here are 5 things you can do to treat yo’self TODAY:

Take a hot bath – unwind, pour yourself a glass of wine, and take a soak. For some extra relaxation: throw in a floral bath bomb (like the one here).
Take a walk – teach your body that behavior matters: get your blood circulating, put on your headphones, quiet your mind, and jam. Need some new tennies? Check out my new gym shoes here!
Bake your favorite treat – Brownies, cookies, gluten free something? What’s something that you absolutely love to snack on but don’t have often enough? Here’s a recipe for one of my favorite sweet treats – Strawberry Cake!
Send some kindness to someone else – Write 1 positive email, text, or card praising or thanking someone you care about. I love this stationary here!
Buy yourself a happy – sometimes pulling out your wallet can put the biggest smile on your face, am I right? This pretty initial necklace has caught my eye and you can find it here! I also just treated myself to this honey lip scrub ($6) and pink clay mask ($8)!

Scroll down for a Valentine’s-inspired look!

And remember, at the end of the day, being happy never goes out of style.

I LOVE absolutely everything about the holidays. Christmas-themed 5Ks, white elephant, secret Santa, gingerbread house making, cookies, Christmas trees. There’s just a bit more joy in the atmosphere during this time of year and I am here for it.

Love planted a rose and the world turned sweet

November 15, 2017November 5, 2017by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment

Roses are the most beautiful flower in Fall, am I right? I also love mums and hydrangeas, and lilies (and honestly, I could keep going), but roses are always so distinct.

Also, roses always remind me of Beauty and the Beast.

This Show Me Your Mumu tunic is going to be so festive and fun for the upcoming Holidays and I can’t wait for all the festivities to come!

Today is November 10th. It’s post-Halloween, but not yet Turkey Day. It’s still somewhat warm in Texas. There’s already Christmas decorations all over Houston.

We are in fashion limbo, y’all.

That being said, I am OBSESSED with the embroidery trend and this top has gotten me compliments everywhere I’ve worn it!

Happy Monday, friends!

It’s still warm here, but Fall is on its way and floppy hats are part of that equation. This floppy hat from Draper James just makes me happy and I knew I had to have it. Add in some polka dots and you’ve got a fun outfit!

Berry Cool

September 29, 2017September 26, 2017by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment

There’s something about the end of September/beginning of October that holds so much excitement. For one, I don’t start sweating the minute I walk out of the house (which almost feels like a dang miracle). For another, I’m paler which means cooler colors give me a more dramatic look. Like this off the shoulder blouse in a rich berry color, for instance.

While it hasn’t completed cooled off down here in Southeastern Texas (aka humid Houston), I thought I’d share an outfit that could help you transition into one of my absolute favorite seasons!

Hello, beautiful people!

I am so sorry I have been MIA on the TBR lately! It’s been a whirlwind. Besides the craziness of Hurricane Harvey, I also started a new job and have been adjusting to that corporate life.

Sooooo thank you for your patience and without further ado… Here’s a denim and gingham look that will easily transition to fall. Switch the flats to boots and add different earrings and a darker lip!

Bonus: This top is on sale for less than $30!

Lady in Red (insert red dress emoji girl)

September 5, 2017July 1, 2018by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment

I am feeling gone with the wind fabulous, honey!

This amazing red dress really does it for me y’all! It’s swooshy, pleated, has amazing details, and pops against this pale skin and blonde hair. I also KNOW, with zero hesitation, that it would look good on ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE, every shade and shape would benefit from a dress like this.

My gal pal/photographer extraordinaire, Caroline Behrens, told me to let loose and and I think it’s fair to say, based on these silly and happy expressions I’m sporting, that I did. Walking around, I received lots of heart eyes and I know it was only for my dress!

You can get your own poppy and pleated dress for yourself! I’ve linked it below!

Shop my look: Dress (here), Earrings (similar here), Sunnies (here), Bracelets (here, here, and here), Clutch (here), Shoezies (here)

This dress just screams CONFIDENT to me and, today, I need that extra pep in my step as I start a new job in Corporate America. I am so excited and obvs nervous, so send me some good vibes while I try to channel the going-for-it girl in these photos 😉

Love y’all, mean it, Liza
