Greetings from NYFW

Greetings from NYFW

Greetings from New York! The past week has been such an amazing whirlwind up here at New York Fashion Week, and I have had such an incredible time with all of these shows, events, and brand meetings, along with exploring the city with all of my favorite bloggers!...

9-5 Style

9-5 Style

As many of you know, I have now been working for about a month and a half and have really begun to appreciate the versatility of good work clothes. Since I would rather splurge on “fun” clothes, finding something I can wear many ways to the office is key. This skirt...

Keek’s – Buy + Sell Designer Handbags

I am so excited to share with you all the newest (used) handbag boutique in Dallas!  One of my sweet friends, Kristen Donnell, created Keek's after spending several years at Goldman Sachs as an analyst.  Keek's is a boutique in North Dallas that buys and sells...

Stealing the Sister Style

Stealing the Sister Style

Though my style is mainly influenced by bold or edgy pieces, occasionally I find myself channeling the styles of Blair and Janie by adding a little Lilly into my look. Since jumpsuits are my favorite (see here, here, or here), this Lilly jumpsuit made it's way home...

Vibrant & Bright

Vibrant & Bright

Bright colors and patterns are what I gravitate towards when shopping, so of course this yellow printed Lilly Pulitzer tank found its way into my closet this summer. Yellow is such a fun and happy color, so what better way to start my day off with positive vibes than...

The Canadian Tuxedo

The Canadian Tuxedo

With denim being one of the top trends of 2014, the Canadian Tuxedo is of course my favorite look for a casual weekend afternoon. Though denim on denim was once a huge fashion faux pas, this duo is now one of the easiest ways to look chic and relaxed with minimal...

Must-Have Hair Ties

Must-Have Hair Ties

    One of my worst (yet most convenient) habits is to keep a ponytail holder around my wrist. It has gotten to the point where I feel naked without one, but sometimes I forget how much better my outfit would look without an ugly black elastic band wrapped...

Zebra Shift

Zebra Shift

For feminine and classic pieces, Milly is definitely one of my all-time favorite designers. Her prints and shapes are so perfect, and when it comes to shift dresses, Milly nails it every time. I love this new zebra-print dress I snagged recently. Though a zebra-print...

Designer Spotlight: Rory Ashton

Designer Spotlight: Rory Ashton

  Her combination of nature and sparkle is just one of the many reasons why I adore Rory Ashton’s handmade jewelry collections. After her years at FIDM in Los Angeles, this Dallas native headed home to her roots to launch her jewelry line, most recognizably known...

All for One

All for One

Jumpsuits have become one of my favorite styles to wear recently, and whether it’s the retro vibe or simply the ease of getting dressed, I keep catching myself stocking up on these onesies. Since I am on the shorter side (and like to fake off my height with 5 inch...

AF for AC Launch Party

AF for AC Launch Party
