The Fourth of July is right around the corner and I am in full outfit planning mode! We normally play it pretty low key on the Fourth. My sisters and their families are usually in town, so it’s a family day for us! We plan to swim all day, cook out in the evening and settle in to watch fireworks! Lucky for us, our neighborhood puts on the BEST fireworks display, so we just take chairs and blankets out to the driveway and watch from there!
Am I the only one that is on a constant hunt for the perfect white tee? I swear I have 8-10 white tops hanging in my closet, because I am always trying to find the perfect white tee. When Megan and I were working on the June Shoplindsey x Beau & Arrow collection, I knew I wanted to add a good white tee (because what is better than a white tee in the Summer Time?!). I wanted it to be simple and versatile (so you could wear it year round), but I wanted it to be a little different and on brand. I am so in love the white tee we found!
When we were brainstorming for the March Shoplindsey x Beau & Arrow collection, I knew that I wanted to add a Kimono to the line. My Pinterest Board is full of different ways to style them and my online carts all over the internet have a Kimono in each one! I love how by just adding a fun printed kimono you can change the entire style of a look. You can dress it up with a monochromatic base, heels and statement jewelry or throw it on over distressed jeans, a white tee, and your favorite mules.
If you read my post where I shared my goals for 2018, you know that my one of my BIG goals for was starting (again) and sticking to BBG. Keeping to my ‘word’ of Fulfillment, Im happy to report that I am 7 weeks in and still at it! Every week me and one of my besties, Lauren, are working through our 12 week training and keeping each other accountable. Honestly, most days I don’t feel like working out (I’m not one of those people that love it), but I also know I have a friend waiting for my text once it has been completed. Accountability is huge for me to meet this goal… also huge (and this is so silly, but so true) workout clothes. Ugh, Im almost embarrassed to type that, but it’s such a big motivator for me! Why? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s the Stylist in me. I get excited about new clothes and can’t wait to wear them. It truly gives my workout a boost!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to Style my favorite Springs looks at an event with Kate Spade Woodland Hills. Kate Spade is celebrating this year with a ‘Trip Across America’. Each month they release a new collection, with a new area in mind. The girls at the Woodland Hills store put together the cutest New Orleans Bayou Brunch, complete with a jazz band playing ‘When the Saints Come Marching In’ and King Cake!
First, Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet friends! I hope that your day is filled to the brim with lots of love and happiness! AND I hope you have plans to celebrate! We, do not! What are your big plans for Valentine’s Day? I would love to hear! Im hoping we can sneak a little date night in this weekend, but Im guessing by now most of our favorite restaurants are full of reservations! I may need to sit down and figure that out today! Which brings me to my next question… who plans your date nights? I’m normally the planner. We always talk about what we want to do or where we want to go together, but when it comes to reservations and babysitters, its all me (which Im totally fine with because I am the “I have to know what is happening-do not keep surprises from me- type of planner!). Im just curious to know who plans your date nights?
I’m sitting down to write this post and I’m just completely overwhelmed. Last night we celebrated the launch of the SHOPLINDSEY x Beau&Arrow collection. Friends, Family, Blog readers and sweet Instagram friends; packed the Beau & Arrow store with so much anticipation and excitement for my new line. It was so surreal, so special and SO MUCH FUN!
6 years ago I started a little Instagram account to sell pieces from my closet that I no longer wanted. In 2012, @shoplindsey was created.
I don’t know if you are keeping track, but Valentine’s day is NEXT week! I’m flying in at the last minute to share a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day picks for that man in your life! If you missed my Valentines Day Gift Guide for Her, you can find that here.

When the girls from Red Dress Boutique reached out to me about doing a collaboration, I was thrilled! I remember watching them on TV when they were pitching their idea on Shark Tank. And I have been following their journey every since! I was so thankful they contact me! I was able to pick a few pieces to wear and style for you all and this dress was my top pick! How gorgeous is this color?! And those sleeves?! (I’ve never met a ruffle I didn’t like!) I love it paired with my turquoise ‘Cece’ earrings from Stella & Dot. A perfect color combo. They were made for each other!
Welcome to the very first post of our new series, How To Style! As a Stylist, one of the biggest requests I receive from friends, family, and clients is; ‘How do I wear this?’. It’s one of my favorite questions to answer, because it gives me a chance to really show my clients, not only how to style a piece, but also how to make pieces in their closet go further. If you’ve been around for a while, you know I love remixing my wardrobe. It helps curve my shopping habit, but it also allows me to be creative. My goal with this new series is to also help you make your closet work for you. I hope to give you tips and ideas that are both attainable and fun!
