Happy FRIDAY! Today, I am linking up with Narci, Andrea and Erika for this week's edition of Friday Favorites!!

This week I went to Austin, for a little retail therapy with the Momma! It has been a rough couple of weeks between work, back pain and some little hiccups in the road.

I stopped into Banana Republic and I found some great traditional SPRING pieces. Here in TX it is cooler in the AM and then it warms up! These little sweaters are the perfect weight and I have bought them season after season. This year I got pink.

Here I am wearing it in green last year!

The green will be perfect for St. Patricks' Day coming up soon!
The SPRING Stella and Dot line launched this week. I love all the bright colors and textures they used with this collection. Hello corals, blues, greens and all things tropical. This collection makes me want to grab a drink and go to the beach!



Today we are throwing a baby shower for a couple in our small group! I am off to make some taco meat and chicken and some yummy enchilada dip!!

Hello blogging world...today I am back and linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea for Friday Favorites!!!

Thank you to everyone who read my laundry tips and tricks this past week. Be sure to stick around as I plan to share tips monthly. If you have a question on anything be sure to comment below and I will do my best to get it answered!!


I wanted to take a few minutes and share my love for all things Nordstrom real quick!
Number 1) free shipping and free returns!!
Number 2) the majority of bloggers I follow use likeittoknow and  you can then get their outfits sent straight to your mailbox to shop. I find the majority of the people I follow also have a love for Nordstrom. :-)
Number 3) If you have a Nordstorm credit card you can shop sales early before things sell out.
Number 4) I love their makeup products and bra and underwear section.
Number 5) This is where I discovered my love for Zella workout wear!!!



Some of my favorite most recent Nordstrom buys are Natori underwear, my Vince slip on sneakers and my T3 curling wand!!! Below is a picture of hair curled with the wand ahhh love it!! Super easy to use and it heats super quick so less time waiting to curl your hair.


I recently have been following Ash Donielle on Instagram. She is so cute and a fellow Stella and Dot stylist. :-) She has the cutest style and recently showed some purchases from American Eagle. I haven't shopped at AE since probably high school. However, I went in yesterday and OMG everything was on SALE. I got a super cute pair of workout pants and a cozy sweater for this cold weather we have been having.

I think these workout pants are going to look super cute with my new Stella and Dot camo crush it bag!!!

What are you looking forward do doing this weekend?!

Amazon Prime is so much more than a yearly subscription and getting things on your doorstep quickly. Did you know with your PRIME account you get Prime Photos, Videos, and Music? You can also create an audible account if you have a KINDLE and listen to books. Amazon seems to truly have it all figured out. For that I say give me all the praise hands!!!

I wanted to share some of my most recent AMAZON purchases with you.

BOOKS...

I was looking for a new devotional this year and after receiving many suggestions I got New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp. I love the short daily verses at the beginning of each day. He then goes on to say a couple of words and relates it all back to scripture. If you are looking for more time in the WORD he points you to further scripture reading. I have to say my book is highlighted, underlined and starred everywhere. This devotional is just so relatable to everyday living!!

COFFEE...

I wasn't a daily coffee drinker until I hit 30. Hello ADULT world! Now I love coffee in the morning and love it decaf in the afternoons especially on a chilly day. One evening at small group one of the members was using a milk frother and OMG I was hooked!! This simple little 14.99 milk frother I swear makes my coffee super yummy. Just a quick whirl and your coffee is whipped. It saves you the Starbucks run and also going to Bed Bath and Beyond because this one just magically appeared in my mailbox!!

HAIR PRODUCTS...

Since moving back to TX OMG my hair has changed so much. My hair dresser suggested multiple brands of shampoo and conditioner and nothing was working. I decided to go back to my orginial hair care routine expect ULTA and my local beauty shop didn't sell my brand of product. AH HA moment Amazon to the rescue.

Today, I am linking up with Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Friday Favorites!!!

1) Thank you Shay at Merit Media for my new LOGO!! I am so excited for the changes coming to Classy Southern Texan in 2018.
2) Stella and Dot samples...I am unboxing my Stella and Dot samples today live on Instastories and Facebook. I am so excited about this collection..it is my favorite so far!!! I plan to do a fun giveaway so be sure to check here often and also my Facebook page!

3) GOODREADS....do any of you have a good reads account? I personally set a goal to read 50 books this year. I already have a long list piled up in my AMAZON cart. I am currently reading The Woman in the Window. I cannot put it down. Look for a post of all I read in January coming soon.
4) I recently ordered this drawer set from Target and cannot wait to use it. I am planning to put all my Stella and Dot jewels in it! This is my inspiration....


5) Caslon Jeans...I discovered these jeans about a year ago when I was getting a Trunk Club box. My stylist sent them to me in olive and they fit like a DREAM. Since I have ordered two pairs in black and they are my absolute favorite pants!!! They look great with booties or pair with my Vince slip on sneakers.

Yesterday (Tuesday) my mom, Aunt and I went to the annual Margarita Sale at Julian Gold in Austin, TX. This is something we look forward to yearly. They serve you margaritas while you shop! #Mexican #oleole

I got 2 really cute tops one Vince and one Hale Bob one of my favorite resort wear brands!

We ran into several of my Mom's friends also shopping the sale which was sooo much fun!

Next, we went to Barton Creek Mall and went to Nordstorm...hello anniversary sale! #nsale

I love love love the Zella athletic brand and it only goes on sale during their annual anniversary sale. I got this super cute sweater for when it cools down.

I have been looking for a plaid top for a while...so I got this one and can't wait to wear with skinny jeans and booties when it gets cooler. Come on FALL!

I also got some new bras...I think I have had my current ones about 5 years! #wow After seeing Bad Mom's this weekend all I could think was uh please no MOM bra lol!

Next, we headed to my favorite place to shop in Austin the Domain! They have lots of yummy restaurants, and great shopping! Neiman Marcus, Vineyard Vines, JCrew, Lilly Pulitzer, Tory Burch and Kendra Scott just to name a few.

We ate lunch at the yummy North! They have great salads, pizza and Italian pastas. I love their Zuppa chips also for an appetizer and light snack.


Then we went shopping!!! I went into Lilly, because a girl has to have a new Lilly dress for her 30th birthday right?!?! Which one did I choose? Check back this weekend for an update.
