Test Driving a New Way to Dry Shampoo with Drybar’s Detox Whipped Dry Shampoo Foam

When it comes to hair I’m someone who likes to stretch the amount of time between washes as long as possible. My hair looks best after at least two days of wear but it needs help along the way. My hair texture is super fine and straight, I have to use quite a bit of product to get it as thick and lush as I want it to look. I have long relied on my arsenal of Drybar products to help my hair look its best…my mom got me hooked on their Triple Sec and Dry Shampoo spray. They smell SO good and give my pin-straight limp hair lots of lift and texture.

Needless to say I was hugely excited when I got the chance to try Drybar’s Detox Whipped Dry Shampoo from Sephora. Here are some before and after shots!

One Shoulder Wonder

I knew it was coming, but I didn’t expect it to be here this soon…it feels like a hot and muggy Texas summer already. Already in the 90s and as humid as can be. I should start packing up my sweaters and coats, I don’t think I’ll be needing them for a while.

I like a slinky dress for hot summer nights like these. Something I can throw on and forget the rest when I just want to get out the door and grab a cocktail on a Friday night. I fell in love with this dress by Bec and Bridge when I saw it on Revolve, it ticks all my boxes! I love anything one shouldered and the tucking on the sides of this dress make it ultra flattering. This color is just great too, I have been gravitating to rust shades a lot lately!

Getting ready for Mother’s Day

If you’re a longtime reader of Sea of Shoes, you are no doubt familiar with my mom Judy Aldridge. Mother’s Day is a really special day of the year for me because it reminds me how thankful I am to have been raised by such a strong woman. My mom is tireless in her pursuit of inspiration and beauty, and she can run circles around people half her age. She’s been an entrepreneur almost all of her life, from opening her own boutique, to creating her own fashion line, and now working in home design with her wildly popular Instagram. She is the hardest working woman I know, undoubtedly, and my sister and I are really lucky to have her as an example to live by.

This year to prepare for a special Mother’s Day I partnered with LAGOS to surprise her with some beautiful new pieces of their Caviar Spark collection to mix in with her jewelry wardrobe. They are the perfect touch of modernity and femininity for her style. For mother’s day we got together for brunch at her house to celebrate her and exchange gifts. She loved them and we had so much fun trying them on together! I also got to see an update on her home, it is looking amazing right now. My mom has nine dogs at the moment, you might spot a few who wanted to get in on the gift exchange.

90s Red Power Suit

This suit may be one of my favorite vintage finds of all time! It’s early 90s Isaac Mizrahi and I found it at Vintage Martini (a treasure trove here in Dallas). Uncinched, these paperbag waist pants measure about three feet in width, laid flat. It’s quite a production looping a belt through all that fabric but totally worth it. I’ve always loved paperbag waist pants, they are 80s in the best way. Lately paperbag pants are having such a moment again, we’ve been seeing them all over runways the last few seasons. Definitely a trend I am happy to wear!

Shoes for the Big Day

I’m so excited, I picked up my wedding dress from alterations last week . As much as I’m overwhelmed with wedding planning right now, the day that we get married cannot come soon enough (that would be October 21st, by the way). I’m ready to be married! I wish I could show you the dress right now, I’m so in love with it. It’s vintage, I found it online, and it couldn’t be more perfect. I was very decisive about the dress but it’s time to start thinking about my wedding shoes. I want to find the find the perfect shoes to wear for the wedding but I want a stylish shoe that I could also wear for years to come.

I fell in love with the Stuart Weitzman MOREPEARLS when I first saw them on Instagram…I now own them in both red and in white. The white MorePearls is part of Stuart Weitzman’s bridal collection and you can see it would make a stunning shoe for the big day! I love the view of this shoe from the back with the three dimensional pearl details. As a bride-to-be, I am in the mood for romantic white dresses. I’ve been considering this 50s strapless cocktail dress I’m wearing for the reception after the ceremony…it is such a dream come true with these shoes.

Mellow Yellow

I got this dress for a steal on Etsy about a year ago, I can’t believe this is my first time posting it. It’s an 80’s-does-50’s dress and as a very small-chested person, I was extremely excited to find a strapless dress that fits me. This is the kind of dress that demands a crinoline for maximum effect. So much fun! I am wearing it with Katharine Page sandals and a basket from Portugal that I also bought on Etsy. Lip color is Charlotte Tilbury’s lipgloss in Red Vixen!

Summer Whites // Summer Sales

I’m sure that if you are reading this that you, like me, are coveting at least a few things by Rachel Comey right now. She just seems to have a knack for knowing exactly what women want to wear and what women look good in. Everything she designs is extremely cool and wearable, without the gimmicks or peacocking you see in a lot of today’s retail climate. I had been eyeing these pants since the day they came out on her website and went to try them on in person. I tried them with this one shoulder top and had to go for the full look. I’ve been wearing these pants three days in a row and I’m obsessed. So glad I took the plunge and got my dream pants!

P.S. Shopbop is having a three day storewide sale right now, use the code EVENT17 to get up to 25% off! It only lasts two more days, I’m perusing the Rachel Comey section right now. Below are some more of my favorites in store right now…dangerous temptation!

Early Summer Want List

It’s beginning to feel a lot like summer, at least in Texas! I’m already in the mood for the pool. I need to find my swimsuit for the season. I’m a simple black bikini kind of girl and I’m thinking about this Rachel Comey bikini. Click on the items to shop the looks!

I’m also craving some new summer basics like the perfect pair of espadrilles! I don’t have any and they’ve always appealed to my vintage sensibilities. Very Brigitte Bardot in Capri!
