There's something quintessentially summer about a good maxi skirt. This particular skirt has quickly become one of my favorites. It's from Honey & Lace, which has a bunch of cute options. And no I'm not being paid/compensated to say that, I just think their selection...
I'm not sure if you non-Texans/Austinites know this, but lavender is kind of a big thing around here. Texas Hill Country has actual lavender farms; apparently our weather/soil is similar to areas of France where lavender is grown. This has led to a lot of local...
