It’s no secret that my favorite place on Earth to shop is Beehive in Fort Worth (just check out how obsessed I am on insta lol), but did you know that Beehive is also online?? I recently went into Beehive just for funzies but I came out with an epic wishlist full of unique finds that I wanted to share with y’all!
This feminine outfit is flirty af with a touch of retro flair. I think I have described most of my recent looks as being feminine with a touch of retro flair so what's new lol. For some reason I felt compelled to pose like I was in the middle of doing the hustle on the dance floor at Studio 54. Photos by the talented Adriana @lookswithadri at Beehive!
I made THE COOLEST new friend the other day, Kim from Wild Rose Vintage! She owns a beautifully curated boutique full of gorgeous vintage clothing. I had to snag this 1970's blush dress + a KISS concert tee when I saw them at her pop-up at Beehive Fort Worth. Kim spends her free time hunting for vintage treasures at estate sales, markets, and thrift stores - she even jets all the way to LA for some of her pieces. Her passion for her business is incredibly apparent when you see how clean, curated, and stylish all of the pieces in her collection are. Each item is unique and has a history all its own!

We found the coolest spot while cruising down Texas highway 281 this past weekend. The Southwest Center is several miles north of Marble Falls, Texas and is a glorious, pink, retro dream. I honestly have no idea what the utility of this place is, but it was the dreamiest spot for an impromptu photoshoot!
If you've been following along on my instagram and insta stories you'll know that I have a new passion for vintage vinyl inspired by my dad and his record store, Record Town! My dad has been a massive music lover since he was a little kid, and has collected albums, cds, and all kinds of music memorabilia for fifty years. Digging for records is like a treasure hunt, you find a bunch of dusty junk, some totally weird shit, and then you stumble upon something magical. I typically like to buy albums from the 60's and 70's such as ballets, orchestral pieces, and classic rock. I also totally love Elton albums, anything with a crazy cover, and Foreigner. Yes, I sometimes buy vinyl for the cover, lol do you even know me? I recently went to Record Town and dug through their $1 bin and found some true gems - string covers of the Stones, french ballets, and a jazzercise record lol.
I'll be completely honest with you, I was nervous to wear a mid-drift showing two piece set on camera. I typically like to have my tummy and legs covered because I'm not 19 anymore ya know... but I have to say, once I put on this set and looked in the mirror, I felt goooood. And when you feel goooood, you own that shat. That feeling is too few and far between to take for granted. I adore this look, clearly. It gives me 60's tropical getaway vibes, can you see it? Or maybe I'm just watching way too much classic film theses days.
I've been making trips to my dad's hometown of San Antonio for my entire life. It is a vibrant city full of kind, hardworking people, gorgeous scenery, and culture beyond compare. To say I love it is an understatement. Each time my family makes a trip to SA, we make an effort to try a new restaurant or visit a new location. I'm psyched to share my favorite finds, old faves, and hidden gems that would make an incredible weekend in SA!
El Mercado in down town SA // 514 W. Commerce, San Antonio, TX 78207 // The mercado of Market Square is an open air market spanning three blocks selling Mexican imports, local food, hand-embroidered dresses and tons more. The culture of SA really comes alive in this plaza - this is the perfect day activity for the weekend! (Photos below)
Japanese Tea Garden // 200-414 Alpine, San Antonio, TX 78212 // The Japanese Garden (pictured above with the koi fish) is a rock quarry-turned-botanical garden. It is INCREDIBLE. Go.
Visit the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park // The missions of Concepción, San José, San Juan and Espada were built in the early 1700's by missionaries from Spain. The missions have been beautifully restored and are great for a day trip to explore for several hours.
Shopping in the Alamo Quarry Market // 255 E Basse Rd, San Antonio, TX 78209
Explore the Riverwalk // 849 E Commerce St, San Antonio, TX 78205 // A classic SA activity is to explore the Riverwalk that runs through downtown. There are fun stores, kitchy restaurants, and beautiful scenery.
Cappy's // 5011 Broadway St, San Antonio, TX 78209 // Cappy's is our family's favorite fancy restaurant. We make sure to go every single time we’re in SA. The food is incredible - an upscale mix of American classics and creative fares. Truly a must .
La Fogata // 2427 Vance Jackson Rd, San Antonio, TX 78213 // La Fogata is straight up my favorite Mexican restaurant in SA, which is hard to do. They serve classic tex-mex in a garden atmosphere. All of the photos below were taken there!! Try the queso flameado, trust me on this. (Photos below)
El Mirador // 722 S Saint Marys St, San Antonio, TX 78205 // El Mirador is a great new-age Mexican place in a revamped neighborhood, def worth a peek!
Oblate Cafe // 904 Oblate Dr, San Antonio, TX 78216 // A classic SA Mexican cafe for the true cultural experience.
Y'all y'all y'all. Pink fluffy dream sweater alert. You know my affinity for all thinks pink runs deep, so much so that I'm pretty sure my insides are bubble gum pink. That's a gross thought, never mind.
