Who’s dragging after staying up to watch the Super Bowl? I was indifferent to the teams this year, but I’m always down for the half-time performance…and game day snacks! I may not be wearing any rings today after that level of salt intake! #worthit While I recover from an evening of gluttony, how about a brain dump of what’s been rambling through my head lately?!
ONE // We wrapped up the Master Closet project with the installation of the jaw-dropping chandeliers and leopard carpet! I can hardly wait to reveal the full space to you…hopefully next week!
TWO // I always hate sharing fun finds with you, only to have them sell out. But I’m happy to report several of my favorite pieces of late are now back in stock…starting with these cute booties, in two great neutral colors. I just love the little v-shape in front…so genius in creating the look of a longer leg!
Sweater Top | Puffer Vest | Jeans | Booties | Crossbody Bag | Watch | Bracelet
My favorite snuggly cardigan, that I basically live in every second I’m at home, is restocked…with a bunch of new colors added! Granted it’s a little pricey, but not an evening goes by that you won’t find me wrapped in it.
Favorite Cardi | Striped Tank | Fleece Lounge Pants | Boots
I adored this tiered lace dress from a recent Date Night Style post…so classic, yet just enough extra detail to make it special. It’s back in stock in both black and red (hello, Valentine’s Day!), and now available in both regular and petite sizing. (I’m wearing a regular 0)
Tiered Lace Sheath Dress | Perfect Patent Pumps | Similar Clutch | Watch | Earrings
THREE // My dear friend, and favorite design collaborator, Kristin Jackson, just launched a brand new site! It’s so gorgeous and well-organized, and chock-full of design ideas and tips, so you’ll definitely want to check out the new Hunted Interior. We’ve already started scheming our next room design, and fingers crossed it happens sooner than later! And if fitness is more your game, my lifelong friend and college roomie, Angi Abercrombie, of Abercrombie & Fitness, shares daily inspiration to get in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Wish she’d had these tips for us back then! #freshman15
FOUR // While we’re on the topic of darling friends doing awesome things, Michelle just built a new farmhouse and is revealing all the glorious, bright spaces on her blog, Ten June. It’s enough to make Joanna Gaines swoon!
FIVE // Dallas recently opened a Shake Shack, so obviously we had to see what all the fuss was about! Of course it was delicious…when isn’t a hamburger and fries not delicious…but I have to say, I think In-n-Out is better! But being a Texan, I’m also fairly partial to Whataburger. What’s your fast-food burger of choice? Am I crazy to not understand the obsession with Shake Shack?!
SIX // With all this dreary weather lately, we’ve been hitting up the movie theatre most every weekend. I like to see as many of the Oscar-nominated flicks as we can…so far we’ve seen Manchester by the Sea, Arrival, Hidden Figures, and Lion. I hope we’ll see the rest of them, but I can’t imagine any will steal my heart and crush my soul the way Lion did! What have you seen and loved lately?
SEVEN // We’re planning our family Spring Break trip, and it’s so much easier now that our kids are older! They can go anywhere and pretty much handle any activity. I vividly remember those early years though, and the preparation it took just to survive the travel days! My friend Shay, a seasoned traveler, wrote a great post about Traveling with Kids that is full of great tips and ideas to take the stress out flying or driving with little ones.
EIGHT // Speaking at the Bloom Workshop in Tampa was a highlight for me last year, and I’m so honored they’ve asked me back for the Dallas stop this year! It is the most inspiring two days, bursting with so much creativity and beauty. The Bloom Workshop is designed for creative women who are eager to learn about blogging, social media, photography, interior design, event design, calligraphy, floral design, and more. If you’re in the Dallas area, and these topics apply to your small business, I can’t encourage you enough to check it out!
Update: Use code HISUGARPLUM for 20% discount on registration!
NINE // With Valentine’s Day next, we’re busy creating all the goodies associated with Little Miss’s class party. I love making small gifts for teachers and girlfriends, and usually turn to these past projects.
TEN // Finally, several items I’ve featured lately are now on super-sale, starting with this darling fair isle sweater. Use code SHOPNOW and it’s only $27!

This little ruffled top Mama SP and I love is down to $29, but definitely size down.

This fuzzy-soft sweatshirt with ribbed arms is 33% off, and available in tons of colors. It’s also long enough for leggings!

What’s rambling through your head these days? I’d love to hear what’s going on in your world!
Cassie! I wasn’t expecting to see me on your blog this morning! Thank you friend! I was going to gush about your closet…but now, I must thank you instead (and still gush a little because your closet sneaks are GORGEOUS!). xo
It was such a great post! So is today’s post with your tips on sleeping on planes!!!
WHATABURGER ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. And I’m so excited to see the full closet reveal!
What she said…^ !!! I have been wanting to try Shake Shack! Need to check it out… Can’t wait to see your new closet! I’m already obsessing over the leopard carpet!

Yes, I am totally dragging after staying up to watch the game last night. I should have left the party early because I’m in for a looong day ahead! So excited for the full closet reveal! Also, love that ruffle sweater you and your mama are wearing – very cute!
Hi there,
I don’t see the Lou&Grey stuff as 50% off. Is there a coupon code?
Christina
Boo, the sale must have ended this morning! After I finished the post. 🙁 So sorry about the tease!!! xoxo
I cannot wait to see that closet reveal–and based on the sneak peeks, it’s going to be GOOD! Thank you for the heads up on the Bloom workshop–heading over to check it out now!
Xo,
Michele
Hi! I love your closet chandelier!! I have a similar one and have trouble finding LED lightbulbs with the candelabra base that don’t look too blue/fluorescent. Which do you use?
Mine are just the Home Depot LED brand…look for soft white instead of natural or bright. That will give it a little more of a warm glow. xo
The school where I teach gives us the Monday after the Super Bowl off….how great is that?! We saw La La Land this weekend. I’d recommend you wait to rent it. It’s very slow. In the burger note…Steak ‘n Shake is a Midwest favorite. The Frisco melt is where it’s at! We also like Five Guy’s but can’t eat there anymore due to my son’s peanut allergy (they have peanuts everywhere), so Culver’s gets our business.
That’s the best work-perk ever!!! We have Steak n Shakes, too, but it’s been awhile since I’ve been.
Can’t wait to see your master closet reveal! PS, the chicken sandwich at Shake Shack is where’s it at–SO good!
Ooooh, good to know!! I’ll try it next time! xo
We saw Lion on Saturday… can’t get it out of my mind! What an extraordinary story!!! Looking forward to learning more about your next collab with Kristin!
Friend! Thanks so much for the shout out! We’re so excited to be sharing the farmhouse, can’t wait to share with your readers too : )
You and your mom always look so fashionable and beautiful! Love it!
As for the closet, I didn’t know you were working on yours, I just wanted to share with you mine a bit? it was my husband’s Valentine gift and we did ours thru the IKEA PAx system, and since my blog is by no means popular, I wanted to know what your thoughts are on mine? I have no doubt, your closet will be Vavavavoom just like the rest of your house Cassie. Thanks a bunch!

Holy smokes, Vel, its stunning!!! I love every single detail, and especially that marble wallpaper. I know you love that space and are so happy every time you walk in. Thanks for sharing!! xoxo
Oh, you are a tease. That carpet and chandelier! I can’t wait to see your closet.
I don’t eat burgers or fries, so no to all burger joints. I know! No fun! Too much fat hurts my tummy.
Off to check out your featured blogs.
Whataburger!!! And I can’t wait to see the closet!! AND I had no idea Quinlan, TX had such a pretty space to host events at. lol
Right!?!?!? I was shocked, too! Those Bloom girls always find the BEST venues! xo
Love your blog! Can’t wait for the full reveal. Lou and Grey tunic is $59.50. HELP! I really love it.
I’m so sorry, but the sale must have ended this morning!! It was on sale when I wrote the post last night. 🙁 I’ll keep an eye out though, I know it will go back on sale! xo
I liked the ramblings post!! Can’t wait to see your closet!!!
Well thanks a million for the shout out from Sugarplum! I’m dragging like a toddlers blanket today! But whoa, what a game! You beta stay away from those crinkle fries or else they will bite you gut! lol Can’t wait to see your closet! Happy MONDAY! I’m off to enjoy the sunshine and crush some calories during my outdoor cardio time! toot-a-loo! http://www.abercrombieandfitness.wordpress.com
the specific Lou & Grey top above is not currently on sale, according to their website. a couple of others are, however.
I double checked with Loft and that particular top is not on sale for Lou & Grey. They post sales almost daily the “chat” representative said.
I saw that!! Such a bummer! It was 50% off when I wrote the post last night, but must have ended this morning. So sorry about the mis-communication!! xo
sales come and go with a blink of an eye sometimes. And items can sell out quickly. no problemo.
Love love your carpet choice! We have most burger chains in Vegas and I still think five guys is the best. I just saw the movie Impossible on Netflix and it was by far one of the best movies I have ever seen. Heartbreaking but made you think about life and what really matters.
It’s up! It’s up! It’s up! Your closet is on the Container Store blog!!! Take.my.breath.away!!!! I, no kidding, gasped when I saw it!! #organizerporn
Just wanted to say I have come across your site recently and I am so glad. It’s given me a boost in the fashion department thank you for all the time and effort you put into your site love it! PS my best childhood friend is a twin and her name is Shay as well x
Thanks so much, Jenni! I’m thrilled you enjoy the blog and find inspiration here!! xo
