Hiatus For Work

I'm all about the work/life balance, and sometimes you just need to stop and focus on work. April and most of May have been so incredibly busy! Here's what I've been up to in photos:

Austin, Texas Court House

In April we traveled to Austin, TX (home!) to shoot our S/S17 line. I'm so lucky to work for a company that lets me travel home for work. This was an amazing trip!

Juan Pelota Coffee

Royal Blue Grocery

The amazing Alexandra Valenti, shooting for SOREL

My parents came down from Dallas and stayed in Austin for a night, once we were done shooting. I was so happy to get to spend a full day in Austin, going back to all of my favorite restaurants and shops. 

Alea, our producer at Torchy's Tacos on South Congress.

I could've eaten here every.single.day.

After hanging out in Austin, I headed to Dallas with my mom and dad for the rest of the weekend.

Exploring Bishop Arts District in Dallas.

Had to grab an authentic Italian style coffee at the Farmer's Market in downtown.

I wanted to scoop up every plant at the Farmer's Market and take them home with me!

I'd seen lots of bloggers photograph in front of this wall during the RewardStyle Conference, so I had to bookmark and add to my list of must-hit spots.

This art piece is literally to the right of the wall above! So cool!

After returning home, you've got to spend hours downloading, organizing, and editing photos you took for use in future seasons. Eventually work took over and blogging took a backseat to all the laydowns and shoefies I like to produce for the SOREL social media channels. (Totally not complaining--it takes over because my job hardly ever feels like work to me!)

I hope you enjoyed catching up via photos! Work has finally mellowed out a tiny bit so I will get back to my regular posting schedule. If you want to keep up with the day-to-day, make sure to follow me to Snapchat!

70's Vibes

Madewell Flare Jeans // Pendleton Bag // Celine Sunglasses
Nakamol Wrap Bracelet // SOREL Joanie Lace Sandals

I think the last time I wore flared jeans was 2001 :) However, we all know the 70's trend is back...especially since festival season is here. I love being able to switch up my usual look of skinny jeans or tights and swap in a pair of comfy wide leg pants. These SOREL Joanie Lace Wedges are also PREFECT and add just enough height so you're not walking all over your pants! (I'm 5'4", and denim length can sometimes be an issue.) I love this top, but for whatever reason I've only been able to find it in-store at F21. If you sign up for LIKEtoKNOW.it and like this photo on Instagram, I've made sure to link a few that are similar.

Don't forget if you want a free month of designer sunglasses like the ones you see here, sent right to your door, sign up at ditto.com and use the code TORILESIKAR at checkout!
