5 Tips For Buying Inexpensive Clothes Online

If your Facebook feed looks anything like mine, it’s covered in ads from online retailers promoting fabulous pieces at insanely affordable prices. You may wonder if that crochet mini dress is too good to be true - and in most cases, you are right. Many of these sites...

Embroidered Mini Dress

Embroidered Mini Dress

Though I'm all about the midi dress trend right now, my love for minis never fades. I've been a fan of For Love and Lemons for quite some time now, but this new coral mini dress is my favorite yet. Though some FL&L dresses can be a bit too revealing with an...

Blush Pleated Skirt

Blush Pleated Skirt

Taking a peek in my closet, you will see that I have way too many casual tees. Though an oversized tee can look a bit slouchy, I love pairing them with feminine pieces to give a casual twist to an otherwise dressy item - like this blush pleated skirt. Mixing and...

The One Off The Shoulder Dress You Need

The One Off The Shoulder Dress You Need

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the off the shoulder trend is the top trend you need in your closet this summer. Though my brother-in-law doesn't understand how these sans-shoulder looks can stay in place, finding a dress with the right amount of...

Stripes + Flares

Stripes + Flares

To kick off the patriotic holiday, I’m all about stripes, whites, and lots of blues. I typically stay away from short-sleeve button downs, but this new blouse changed my mind on the style - and I know I’ll be wearing it all the time. Though it looks navy from afar,...

Off The Shoulder + Cut Offs

Off The Shoulder + Cut Offs

Happy Monday! When it comes to getting dressed on weekends, my go-to is always a pair of denim cutoffs. Though my mom despises these comfy basics (sorry!), they are the perfect basic for a casual outing. I paired mine with this new off-the-shoulder top that I am...

What To Wear To A Summer Concert

As much as I love getting dolled up for a night out, there's nothing worse than being the girl that's completely overdone for a chill night at a concert. Though it may not be necessary to ditch the heels to stand in a crowd, it is necessary to ditch a dress with too...

Tassel Hem Dress

Tassel Hem Dress

My love for tassels is nothing new, but my love for this little black tassel hem dress is! I ordered this LBD for my recent Club Med trip, and it has instantly become a new favorite for a casual weekend look. The dress is super comfy and lightweight - which is...

Summer Romper

Summer Romper

Cheers to the weekend! One of my favorite parts about summer is everyone is constantly in a good mood and ready to spend the weekend outside. Dallas has so many fun (and delicious) restaurants around the city with great patios or rooftops to soak in the summer nights...

Dainty Strap Dress

Dainty Strap Dress

What's a summer wardrobe without little white dresses? Though white cocktail dresses can be a bit difficult to wear with all of the weddings circulating during this point our lives, white strappy dresses are my go-to for any evening outing! Last night I attended the...

TREND ALERT: Saddle Bags

TREND ALERT: Saddle Bags

Saddle bags. I'm not talking about the dreaded muffin top counterpart, but rather the throwback handbag we always found in our mom's closets from back in the day. That's right, the sporty yet chic leather handbag is the ultimate crossbody for summer, and we are...

TREND ALERT: Retro Sneakers

TREND ALERT: Retro Sneakers

Coming from the girl who is rarely seen without stilettos, I'm pretty excited about one of the newest fashion trends for summer: retro sneakers. From simple Stan Smiths to high top Pumas, your summer sandals have found a comfortable replacement for your next weekend...
