Good morning friends! Today is the day @travismccarra and @nikou22 get married! #marfaweddingfiesta #marfa #elcosmico #teepeeliving #sunrise #headedtomarfa #texas #sistersister #ssmrt

We made it out to Marfa, Texas for the #marfaweddingfiesta of Travis and Nikou (of course we cried when they danced to this). The wedding was perfect... 60 friends and family members in the desert to share one moment together... come on, it doesn't get any better than that.

 Because the weather can be a little unpredictable out west, we brought lots of options. Here's the break down of what we ended up wearing.

On Brandi:
Mullet Dress <> Hunt and Gather
Shoes <> Toms Booties
HeadPiece <> Feathers Boutique (I love the ones Moorea Seal makes, might have to get one)

On Kelly:
Maxi Dress <> Anthropologie
Shoes <> Justin Boots (wishing I had these)
Headband <> Bueno Bueno (shop temporarily closed)
Bracelets <> Chrisrann // vintage copper cuffs // Bueno Bueno
Necklace <> Ax + Apple

FEATURE FRIDAY: Spring Style with Danielle Henry @ Moss Boutique

A few weeks ago, Brandi and I headed to Moss Boutique to get some Spring Style tips from Houston's IT girl, Danielle Henry. She's the rad stylist who runs Moss Boutique off Dunlavy. Our focus was spring dresses. Brandi and I find ourselves wearing a lot on jeans and shorts when we could be wearing a stylish dress. I don't know why we don't wear them all the time. Wearing a dress is an instant 'pick-me-up'

The entire shop was filled with goodies and I couldn't wait to get in the dressing room.

Look #1
At first I wasn't sure about this dress because it didn't seem too flattering on the hanger... That and it was pale pink and I've always been funny about pink against my skin, but I LOVED this color.

Once I put it on, it had me spinning in circles on my tip toes. ha.

...awkward. Of course there was a lot of laughing going on during our time at Moss. Brandi kept saying, 'no not that face, you're doing your awkward smile again. Just laugh.'

Brandi was snapping photos of me the WHOLE time. I didn't even get the dressing room to myself. I heard her laughing really hard and when I asked her why she was laughing, she showed me a photo of my butt. Thanks seester.

They have a deal right now, if you buy a dress, you get a cardigan free. Heck yes!

This was my absolute favorite look and I had all sorts of issues leaving Moss without this dress and vest.

The first spring tip I got from Daniel was "every lady needs a white dress." Indeed Daniel, we do!

MORE TIPS FROM DANIELLE
Have one key piece of jewelry, but don't over accessorize
Have at least one white dress
Try out new trends, but don't become too trendy and lose your unique style.
If all else fails, stick to the basics and throw in one new item at a time.
