Happy Friday! I couldn’t be more glad that the weekend is upon us. Aaron is going to be working most of this weekend, so I am making plans to indulge in a new book and take advantage of the 80 degree weather. (Sorry, babe!) What are all of you up to this weekend? If your plans include some fun in the sun, it might be a good time to pick up a summer hat. I never spend very much on … +more
Does anybody else suffer from empty wall syndrome? We are having our house photographed for a popular shelter site next month, so I am currently on a mission to cure our wall art woes! Art can be pricey, though, so it’s nice to mix big statement pieces in with smaller ones from lesser known, but equally talented artists. These 5 prints would make the perfect addition to a gallery wall or could stand along nicely in their own small nook. … +more
Happy Friday! We are ending this week over here with a girl’s brunch at my place to celebrate lots of exciting developments over here at The Effortless Chic– I can’t wait to share them with you! The menu includes grapefruit and grated ginger salad ala Emily, sliced blueberry bundt cake, baked eggs with spinach, ham, & gruyere, and blood orange mimosas. I’m not sure how productive we’ll be the rest of the afternoon, but I am really looking forward to … +more
Happy Friday! Aaron is turning 30 in a couple of weeks, but since we will be in Australia, I am throwing him a little shindig this weekend to celebrate. I can’t wait! What are you all up to this weekend? Whatever it is, be sure to check back in with us next week as we honor every student’s favorite time of year and kick off Spring Break Week here at The Effortless Chic! There will plenty of inspiration for … +more
I could not be more excited about the month of March! Spring’s official start is just around the corner, plus my sweet hubby turns 30 this month! I can’t wait to celebrate this new decade that he’s beginning. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished in his twenties. I know his thirties will be full of even more awesome adventures– the first one being a little trip we’re taking to Australia and New Zealand later … +more
Has everyone successfully come down from yesterday’s sugar high? Thanks to my wonderful dad I have enough sweet treats to see me through the end of the month at least! Since we started this week out with a brand new cocktail hour post, I thought it only fair to come full circle with today’s 5 Under $25 post. I’ve found that interesting glassware not only adds to the decor of a party, but makes the cocktail appear even tastier!

You may have noticed that this is not your typical 5 Under $25 post. However, it is Super Bowl weekend so we thought we might as well bring you the most delicious game-worthy recipes we could find that you can make without breaking the bank. We love a good football game as much as the next person, but it wouldn’t be the Super Bowl without delicious food, cocktails, and a Beyonce performance! First up? These delicious pork sliders from A … +more
Good morning from the road! Since Aaron left last night for Australia to scout for a shoot, I decided to fly the coop myself and hop on a plane to Austin. Seems fair, right?! I figured I might as well spend the weekend with my family eating Tex-Mex while I am counting down the minutes until Aaron gets home. If you need any assistance when it comes to counting minutes, check out these très chic watches that are easy on … +more
