Teddy jackets… what are y’alls thoughts on them? Personally, I love them and think they are an easy way to complete an otherwise bland outfit. There are also SO many types of teddy jackets to choose from – cropped or full length, nubby or faux fur, and zipper-close or horn buttons. The options are endless and that’s why I have selected a few of my favorite styles to help your…
I love shopping for statement items throughout the holiday season but it’s hard to pull the trigger on an item when you feel like you will only wear it during one season…anyone feel the same? I talk about budgeting and spending wisely all the time on the blog but if the items I am pushing don’t work year round, they are kind of going to waste in your closet and…
If there’s one outfit I wear more so than anything this time of year, it’s sweaters and leggings. Big shocker, I know! But when it works why change it? Since I know a lot of y’all like to wear the same type of style, I wanted to round up some of my favorite sweaters/tops to wear with leggings. Because there’s an art to it! You obviously want something to cover…
This is a post I’ve actually been meaning to write for years (what’s new?) because my love for the military jacket runs deeps. It’s one of my most-worn items by far, and I’ve gone through quite a few of them over the years. They’re a closet staple and they aren’t going anywhere – hence why I wanted to share this post with y’all! When styling the jacket, think of it…
I thought it might be fun to quickly throw together a post on what I packed for Denver this past weekend. It was a super spontaneous trip – we booked it on Thursday! But it was one of the most fun weekend trips I’ve ever been on! I’m obsessed with Denver and can’t wait to go back! I’m also very proud to say that I packed everything in a carry-on.…
OK so maybe the headline is a little dramatic, but we all have those seasonal essentials that we have on rotation. Y’all know, the ones you reach for more than anything else and mix and match with everything in your closet. It’s basically my fall capsule collection of sorts, but I didn’t pay too much attention to what on this list matches with what – though honestly you could probably…
Now that we’re officially in fall, you know I’m trying to get all the fall feels wherever I can – it’s such a season of feels right?? Y’all seem to love whenever I do the seasonal bucket lists and I always have fun putting them together, so to celebrate the kick-off of fall, here’s the latest! I tried to pick ideas that aren’t necessarily Dallas related since I know a…
I’ve been purging my closet a bit lately and all this paring down has me thinking about which items in my closet I wear the most. And of those items, I’ve been thinking about which ones I would consider to be ride-or-die wardrobe essentials. I’ve got a list going and a classic blazer blazer is certainly on it. I’ve come to realize there are two main types of black blazers:…
Not sure why, but I’ve actually been sitting on these photos for OVER a month. wow. Yeah, I know. But if you’ve been following along on the blog and social media, then you know I’ve been in quite the funk lately. And to be completely honest, I’m not really ready to talk about it yet. So I’m going to keep things light over here and tell you how I am obsessed…
Y’all have probably noticed the major trend that is the plaid skirt, or the “school girl skirt” as I like to call them. Think Cher from Clueless or Britney Spears from “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” but updated. I personally love the preppy look of the plaid (#YASS), but even more so, I like the details that are making it feel FRESH. Anything from a wrap detail or ruffles is…
How’s everyone feeling about the teddy coat movement that seems to be taking over fashion right now (not to mention my Instagram feed)? Well, I for one, LOVE IT. I mean, wearing something that basically feels like being wrapped in a blanket but cuter – you know I’m into it. But seriously, these are like the new faux fur and I think they’re really cute. Remember the one I wore…
I've been wearing dusters for a couple years now, and I just think they are one of the coolest pieces of outerwear that's been trending. They're a little bit dramatic and are a fresh spin on plain ol' jackets or cardigans when you want something different. And I also love how transitional they are! We've seen them in everything from silk to suede, and lately I've been super into the cozy variety - the cardigan dusters!
I’ve been a fan of tunics for like ever. My mama always wore them, and I always thought they were classy and chic. I’m pretty sure I became obsessed when Reese Witherspoon wore one in Sweet Home Alabama (ps who else lovesss that movie?! the best!). Plus, they’re always one of the most comfortable fall or winter items hanging in my closet. They’re kinda like the fancier version of a…
If y’all have ever seen my mom on Insta Stories, you know that she’s basically mom/wife/hostess/designer of the decade. I’m constantly inspired by her creativity and her ability to do it ALL with a smile on her face – it’s seriously so impressive and #goals! From little things like how she always has the house decorated for holidays (something I’m trying to get better at) to how she always wrapped…
For the most part, we know what we should be doing in life. We know we should be eating more vegetables, exercising more, and chipping away at projects slowly versus procrastinating. Doesn’t it seem odd that we know what we need to do to prevent ourselves from getting sick and becoming overly stressed, but we don’t always do them? It’s like the answers are literally in front of us (or…
WE ALL KNOW IT'S COMING. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, aka an ENTIRE WEEK OF ALL-THE-SALES! I'm telling you, each year the sales start earlier and earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if some retailers started marking things down for "cyber" week come Monday this year! Anyway, whatever you want to call it, cyber week is coming and we're all excited about all the fun sales around the corner! The good news for YOU is that I'll be working my little tail off to make sure that you know about all the BEST deals.
I can hardly even believe that I’m typing up a Thanksgiving post right now, but here we are! I always get a lot of questions about what to wear for the holiday, so I thought I’d try to give y’all ideas in advance. (And I’m like really proud of myself for planning ahead woo!) Now, my family is somewhat casual – in that we don’t get SUPER fancy, though my…
I must say, this is MY VERY FIRST pair of leopard booties! Never ever did I think I would love this so much, but y’all – I’m loving putting together outfits with them! Just yesterday, I wore them with a cozy ALL black outfit and my new pair of leather leggings (NOPE, they’re not the spanx ones! I found another pair I like better!). Needless to say, they’re a major…
