Keep It Weird...Keep It Caffeinated

Hello loves,

My mom and I discovered this little coffee house near our town a while ago, and decided to stop there for coffee and breakfast. Oh my goodness - it is phenomenal! They have amazing coffee and a super good black bean breakfast burrito.

While we were there I decided to snap some photos of my outfit.  I'm obsessed with this "Keep it Weird" shirt from the Bethany Mota collection at Aeropostale. I paired it with my black vans, a bright lip, and this awesome bright green nail polish from Essie.


Outfit/Make Up Details

Livin' on Tulsa Time | 5 Favorite Things about Tulsa

Hello loves,

Today I thought I'd throw in a post about my 5 favorite things about Tulsa, Oklahoma. I took a road trip with my friend, Kristin, last month and absolutely fell in love with the city.



1. Ida Red
This adorable little store stole my heart. They have everything you never knew you wanted - but absolutely needed. I would recommend checking out their collection of Dr. Pepper merchandise. Also, follow them on Instagram. You won't regret it.



2. Dwelling Spaces
A quaint boutique located on  - Dwelling spaces has clothing, knick knacks, and GREAT lattes. Not to mention, the barista was SO nice.



3. The Food
Taco Bueno. Oklahoma Joe's. Yokozuna. Caz's Chowhouse. Chimera. If you need one reason to go visit Tulsa, go for the food.



4. The Art and Culture
I could write novels on this. We were lucky enough to be in Tulsa during Mayfest and Hop Jam. There was amazing music, great food and beer, and not to mention the cool murals throughout the city.



5. The People
Within one day of being in Tulsa, Kristin and I could not believe how nice and genuine all of the local people were.  She and I made so many friends and got an inside look at the city. Everyone wanted to chat with us and give us advice about what places we needed to see. It was so lovely.

Have you ever been to Tulsa? What are your favorite things about the city? What do I need to do next time?  Let me know in the comments below.

Georgia Peach & Sweet Tea | My New Summer Scent

Hello loves,

Today I wanted to share with you my new favorite scent for summer!  When I went to visit my friend Melissa for her bridal shower, she gave me lotion and body spray from BBW for being her Maid of Honor.  She certainly didn't have to get me anything (the weekend was supposed to be all about her) - but I am absolutely in LOVE with the scent she picked out.

Georgia Peach and Sweet Tea is the scent of both the lotion and the body spray that Melissa gave me. Does anyone know if this a new scent for Bath and Body Works? I wasn't sure - but it's new to me - and I've been wearing it every day since she gave it to me.
Seriously - these smell so good.  They have a mix of bright peach and sweet smelling tea - along with a little bit of musk and floral.  You need to go out to Bath and Body Works today and just smell it - I guarantee it will be your signature scent for summer too.

With love,

Traci J

Peace, Love, and Hippie Tom


Hello loves,

I am super excited to share this post with you all today. Things have slowed down a little since my road trip to Tulsa and planning my friend's bridal shower.  I have had time to enjoy being at home and start soaking up the summer sun!

A few weeks ago my mom and I went down to an antique farm that is just a short drive from our house.  I don't talk about it often, but I'm from a very small town in South Eastern Wisconsin (though lately I feel more nomadic than anything) - and there isn't always a lot to do.  One thing that I take for granted is this little antique farm.  To me it's normal - it's always been there - and my mom and I have always gone there to look around.  But lately, it's become a hotter destination.  This is Hippie Tom's farm from American Pickers. If you haven't heard of him - or the show I encourage you to check it out.

While we were out there - we decided to snap some picture of my outfit.  I paired this white knit top from Brandy Melville with American Eagle jeans, a coral kimono, and brown wedges.  I felt a little "hippie-ish" myself.




Sunglasses: Forever 21

Would you guys be interested in seeing more pictures from my adventure to Hippie Tom's? I took a ton of the barn and the rest of the grounds. I'd be happy to share them with you. :)


xx,

Traci J
