Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.

Holiday Shimmer

Holiday Shimmer

  Adding a little shimmer to my holiday look is always a must, so finding subtle metallics is my favorite way to update my look. This silver blazer (similar) I received as an early Christmas gift (from someone who knows me too well!) is the perfect piece to dress...

The Must-Have Coat

The Must-Have Coat

One of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to shopping is the unnecessarily large amount of winter coats I decide I "need" to own. Though Dallas is rarely cold enough to actually wear all of these coats, Janie and I found it necessary to rent out a storage unit simply...

Gray Winter Days

Gray Winter Days

One item that I never leave at home when packing for a trip is a soft gray tee. It's by far the most versatile item in my closet and always step one for a day of layering. For a cozy mountain day look, I layered an oversized gray blazer (also worn here) over my tee...

Snakeskin and Fur

Snakeskin and Fur

As much as I love a great pair of jeans, switching up my afternoon look with a flirty little dress just puts an extra pep in my step. There's something about a daytime dress that feels just so feminine and fun, and when it has the ability to transition into evening, I...

Shearling Chic

Shearling Chic

Shearling is one textile I love adding to my closet during the winter months, and this Ella Moss vest is quite the update from the Ugg phenomenon back in the day. With the ever-changing weather in Dallas, a vest is the perfect way to dress for chilly days! As much as...

Chicago Neutrals

Chicago Neutrals

If you followed me during NYFW, you definitely know that my ultimate travel style is black and white. The easiest way to pack for a trip is to bring a variety of neutrals that can be tied together in different ways. For a morning meeting in Chicago, I paired these...

Windy City Style

Windy City Style

After my stay at the Houstonian Hotel earlier this week, I flew to Chicago for a quick trip of meetings and exploring! Since it was my first time to Chicago, I absolutely loved seeing the city, visiting sites (the bean was a must), and of course having my first...

Designer Spotlight: She Reigns

Designer Spotlight: She Reigns

There's nothing I hate more than leaving the house in a super cute outfit, then getting hit with rain showers and either have to bundle up in a bulky rain coat or end up completely drenched trying to remain chic. Thanks to one of our favorite Dallas bloggers, Cathy...

Weekday Wear

Weekday Wear

  For my weekday look, my go-to is a pair of my favorite DL1961 skinny jeans, a roomy blouse, and a pair of comfortable ankle boots perfect for running around between meetings and appointments. Though I occasionally find myself sporting a pair of flats, a great...

One Dress, FOUR Ways

One Dress, FOUR Ways

  The shirtdress has always been a timeless classic, so we believe this is one item every woman needs to invest in for her wardrobe. Finding the right shape and fit is very important to keep a feminine look, which is why we love these classic shirtdresses by Kiki...

Shifting Seasons

Shifting Seasons

Though I am back in Dallas bundled up in my winter wear, I am wishing I was back in the warm Caribbean weather in summer shifts. One of the things I noticed before my trip was that my cold weather wardrobe had overtaken my closet, and I had nothing to pack for the...

Caribbean Crochet

Caribbean Crochet

When packing for a Caribbean vacation, my suitcase is filled with flowy, comfortable dresses perfect for those casual nights on the beach. It's the only type of trip where I leave all of my stilettos at home and live solely in wedges and sandals! One of my favorite...
