All White + Giveaway!
White on white may be simple, but it is one of the easiest ways to look classic, preppy, and put-together on any day. White outfits for summer will never go out of style and looks great on everyone. For dinner last night at the new Patrizio, I dressed up this...
Tropical Hue
Finding a great go-to summer dress is always a win in my book, and this new orange cut-out dress I just snagged is just that! A comfy loose fit, neon hue, and a fun neckline add a little oomph to a classic summer shift. Though I went with a vibrant orange, this dress...
The White Pant Suit
I shared my love for pant suits here, but a new season means a new suit - and a crisp white set it just too good to resist! Though this pant suit would be phenomenal with a feminine blouse for a chic office look, I chose a black leather crop top for an edgy evening...
Iris & Ink
Black. White. Leather. Crop Top. Combining my four favorite styles into one outfit is just way too pleasing in my opinion. The midi skirt became one of my favorite shapes this past year, and I definitely think every girl needs one. If you are like me and on the...
The Favorite Skirt
Back in my boarding school days, it's almost embarrassing to admit how many of these Lilly Pulitzer skirts I actually owned. Since we didn't have uniforms, but rather a strict dress code, my daily style was ALWAYS a Lilly skirt, polo blouse, and ballet flats or Jack...
Outfit Remix
No matter how organized or stocked full my closet is, I have way too many of those "I have nothing to wear moments" when getting dressed. As frustrating as these moments can be, I secretly enjoy them because it places the challenge of creativity - how to mix and match...
Navy Transition
Stocking up on solids or classic pieces is an absolute must for any wardrobe. When paired with the right accessories, any item can be transitioned into a variety of styles. A classic navy dress is a fun update on the LBD, and I love this one I snagged from Trina Turk....
Summer Caftan
Though I have an addiction to buying fabulous shoes, being barefoot in the sand is always my favorite. For someone who loves to overdress in Dallas and wear heels in even the most casual locations, there's something about being home at the beach that just makes me...
The GNO Pink Dress
When a girl's night out rolls around, I always like to pull out a feminine and flirty dress for a fun twist on my usual look. Since I often gravitate towards blacks and whites, a hot pink dress is the ultimate choice for a girly night out with friends. I am absolutely...
#SummerInLilly
As you've seen here, here, here, and many others, I love Lilly Pulitzer. It's classic, feminine, and preppy - and really never goes out of style. This past week our whole family was in town (plus my boyfriend's family), which meant a busy week with lots of together...
Summer Solid
As much as I love a good print, stocking up on solids is the easiest way to add versatility to your closet. By mixing and matching different accessories and styles with a solid item, you can virtually wear your pieces for any occasion. Since I'm generally...
Summer Staple: The Caftan Dress
With May soaring by, I am automatically transitioning into beach mode! Whether it means a road trip home to Destin or booking a flight to an exotic destination (I wish), I am just so ready to take off to somewhere tropical. My online shopping wish list is flooded with...
Summer Lace Shift
There's no such thing as having too many shift dresses, and this neon pink and white lace dress is one of my newest additions to the wardrobe. It seems to me that summer is packed full of events and occasions where I'm faced with the question, what to wear? As much as...

SPRING STEALS: 25 Clutches Under $100
Just like ditching the heavy layers and sweaters from winter, a large handbag often seems cumbersome with a slinky little Spring dress... which therefore leads to an overwhelming need for warm-weather clutches! Since clutches take up so little space in a closet, why...
TREND ALERT: The Midi Dress
We've talked about it before, but the lengthening of hemlines has been such a big influence in trends over the past couple seasons. I don't know about you, but when I was in college I would never be caught dead wearing a dress or skirt beneath my kneecaps, no way....
Summer Shift
When I think of Lilly, I think of bold prints for derby parties, graduations, luncheons, etc. Though I do love these colorful fabrics and adorable prints, I have found I reach for more "everyday" wear when getting dressed. Last summer, my mom sent me a simple navy and...
