WHAT TO WEAR: Date Night

WHAT TO WEAR: Date Night

We recently started a new "What to Wear" series with Nasty Gal, and we featured what to wear to an outdoor festival (see here). Today we are sharing a go-to "date night" look. The hardest part about any date is deciding what to wear - you never want to look...

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It's that time of year again! Nordstrom is currently holding their largest sale of the year, where shoppers can shop new Pre-Fall 2015 at discounted prices! Today marks the first day that the sale is open to the public, so we've rounded up some of our favorite...

Blue and White

Blue and White

Blue and white. It's the classic color scheme we all love. From fabrics to decor to clothing and more, there's something about this combo that's feminine and timeless. Though I've been wearing a lot of prints recently (remember, that was the 2015 resolution - to stray...

Jewelry Theory

Jewelry Theory

  Have you ever dreamed of being your own jewelry designer? Or perhaps you've simply had a vision in mind for one specific piece and don't know where to begin? Thanks to Dallas-based Jewelry Theory, these dreams can now become a reality! Being in our 20s,...

Asymmetrical

Asymmetrical

Cut outs and asymmetrical skirts - Two of my favorite trends combined into one for today's look. What I love most about this look is the frayed hems on both of these pieces, which gives an edgy look to these two structured pieces. Another look I've been really into...

Summer Mini Dress

Summer Mini Dress

Stumbling upon the perfect summer mini dress doesn't happen everyday, so of course I had to snag this colorful Lovers & Friends dress when I saw it at The Shak. Though I talked about pleats here and here, it's really no surprise I'm adding one more pleated look to...

Statement Clutch

Statement Clutch

A statement clutch is the easiest way to add a fun twist to any look, so when I found this orange printed clutch at The Shak, I knew it was a must-have for summer. I paired it with this low-V Alice + Olivia shift for a daytime look, but it's perfect for any occasion!...

Summer Pleats

Summer Pleats

Since we posted a trend alert last week about pleats, stumbling upon this summer-inspired pleated skirt was too good to resist while browsing the Shak last night. The vibrant colors of the skirt paired with this tropical crop (you know I love my crop tops!) make this...

Neon Shift Dress

Neon Shift Dress

Do you ever have those dresses in your closet that you stare at wondering when you'll ever wear it, and once you finally try it on, you fall in love and remember why you bought it? Maybe it's just me, but these always seem to turn into my favorite closet items! This...

Mixing It Up

Mixing It Up

Since I love versatility in my wardrobe, stocking up on matching sets is one of the best ways to get a lot of looks without going overload on shopping. Though matching sets are not the "typical" Lilly Pulitzer style, this neon pink printed Lilly set is my absolute...

What to Wear: Outdoor Festival

What to Wear: Outdoor Festival

Since events are such a big part of our lives in Dallas, we've teamed up with Nasty Gal to bring you a series to "What to Wear" posts, and today we are launching it with festival style. If you were anything like me in college, the term "outdoor festival" meant...

TREND ALERT: Pleats

TREND ALERT: Pleats

Pleats, pleats, and more pleats. Flowy pleats are definitely making a splash on the trend scene, so be sure to snag a few items and beat the crowd with this Resort 2016 style headed your way. Elegant maxis, feminine midis, and flirty tops rule the pleat scene, so add...
