You all may have noticed we have been spending a lot of time in Rockwall, Texas. Our parents actually moved from El Paso, Texas to Rockwall a couple of months ago, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled! Instead of being a 10-hour drive away, they are now only 45 minutes away, which is a total game changer! We are at their place all of the time, and honestly, we act like we are moving in sometimes, haha. We wanted to share some of our favorite things about Rockwall, and why we love having our parents so close to us. Before we get into that, we wanted to share this lightly layered fall look. This scarf is a great neutral color that can be worn with lighter jackets like this utility jacket, or thicker sweaters.
We paired it with these adorable embroidered mules that add such a fun pop to any outfit. They also come in leopard! The brown saddlebag is also a great piece for fall because it matches everything and can be worn with black, too!
We love this utility jacket because you can layer it over a white tank, like we did, or with thicker sweaters underneath! It looks great with dresses, shorts, leggings, and jeans!
If y’all haven’t been to Rockwall before, and you live close to DFW, you all have to check it out! There is something so peaceful about it, and just slower-paced. They have a huge lake right as you enter the city called Lake Ray Hubbard, and it is so gorgeous! We haven’t had a chance to go on it yet, but you can rent kayaks, boats, paddle boards, and jet skis. They also have several restaurants on the lake, too!
Of course, we have found some great spots to grab a bite that we are obsessed with. There are three places that we really like, and seem to go to on a frequent basis, haha.
- Zanata : their pizza and salmon is SO good. Literally could eat here on a daily basis!
- Pier 101 : they have really good steamed crab and crawfish or just fish with veggies and quinoa!
- The Book Club Cafe : great for breakfast or coffee. They also have really good burgers!
- Fireside Chicken and Tacos : y’all know we love roasted chicken, and this place is delicious and super easy! You can also get tacos and other stuff, too!
- Chills360: this ice cream place has rolled ice cream that is SO freaking bomb.
Most of the spots we listed above are in the downtown square, where we took these pictures! It is a pretty small little area, but super cute to walk around, especially in this fall weather. They have live music some nights, which is really neat, too!
There are so many reasons why having our parents close to us is a plus. We have always been really close with them, especially since we are the only kids. We haven’t lived close by them since we left for college eight years ago. We didn’t think we would get to live so close to them for at least a couple more years, so we are so grateful that they got this opportunity. Even if it is just getting to go over to their house for dinner, or meeting them halfway, or just knowing they are a short drive away gives us so much comfort.
These great accessories are from Sole Society. They have a great selection of booties, scarfs, and versatile bags to transition into fall with!
