The White Tank
Don't you love when you have go-to staple basics in your closet? Like they are so good, you wish you had one in every color? I recently discovered a new favorite: the perfect white tank. Did I mention it's only $20? It's fitted just enough + flatters every figure + alludes a chill vibe. #caliiswearingoffonme || scroll down to see two ways to style it.

stanley korshak + discount code.
I tend to always run to my go-to stores to shop, but recently I realized I have been missing out on some pretty stellar places specifically in the Big D. Yes the clothes are beautiful at the majority of Dallas boutiques, but to combine that with personal relationships and a lovely experience makes one store far outweigh the other. Stanley Korshak is one of those gems sitting in the heart of The Crescent, and what stood out to me there was the following: they are family owned, and they make you feel a part of it + the merchandise is extremely well chosen + whether you come to browse or buy, they truly make it an experience {without those pushy sales tactics}. Oh, and they are growing beyond belief! I was thankful to get a tour of the under-construction zone, and to envision what's to come {in the next few months} made my excitement to shop there even greater.
In celebration, here's a fun little gift until the end of April! Type in LAUREN at checkout or use this at the counter for a 10% discount.
my new love: the sweatpant jean.
I love sweatpants, and I love a great pair of jeans. I could live in either/or all day, every day. All that to say, I was scrolling through Instagram a few weeks ago and discovered what I thought to be Rag & Bone denim that would immediately join my wish list. As I investigated a bit further, I realized that these jeans were digitally printed sweatpants. What??? Instant screen shot.
So the story continues. My friend and I popped into Intermix in LA last week, and she showed me sweatpants she thought were cute. Yes, they were the magical denim look alikes. We tried them on {to die for}, and instead of risking buyer's remorse, I decided to wait and think about the possible purchase. Thoughts: perfect travel pant #chicyetcomfy; perfect dinner date "denim" paired with a heel, a white tee, blazer, and gold dainty necklaces; the perfect 'running errands' sweatpant without looking like you rolled out of bed.My sweet sweet boyfriend surprised me with these the next day. He is an angel. I'm tempted to wear these every day!Rag and Bone Sweatpant Jean/Dolce Vita Leopard Kenzie Booties/Ray Ban Mirrored Aviators/T.

gift guide: for the men
Is it just me, or are men just hard to buy for? Guys for the most part are so simple and seem to be content with what they have, so it's difficult to think of anything but the typical to give. My goal each year is to think outside the box and give something useful, yet thoughtful. Does he like golf? Get him a new driver, golf bag, or fun accessories. Did he just start a new job? Get him a great pair of work shoes, ties, and nice clothes. Does he travel a lot? Bose speakers, an iPad Air, or a travel bag are always good options. Check out some of my favorite presents to give the guys!
