Retail Spotlight: ShopSeptember
As much as I love major department stores, visiting local boutiques is my preferred method of shopping. Apart from boutiques cutting back on the overwhelming intake of clothing in large retailers, boutiques are always the first to introduce shoppers to up-and-coming...
SWFW: Day Two
For the second day of South Walton Fashion Week, I opted for this hunter green Splendid dress and a lightweight Alice and Oliva vest that I snagged a few years ago (try this similar one!). Dressing for Fall when it is still hot outside can be a challenge, however,...
SWFW: Day One
This weekend I am home in Sandestin, Florida covering South Walton Fashion Week, and I am having so much fun discovering new brands, attending panel discussions and fashion shows, as well as connecting with bloggers and designers along the coast! Check out my outfit...
Working Girl
Dressing for the office is one subject people ask me about frequently, and my advice is always to find the perfect balance between fashionable and conservative. Just because you may be working in a corporate office doesn't mean you have to leave all your style at...
Coastal Casual
The past week has been a whirlwind of traveling from a wedding in Nashville, to our cabin in the Smokies, a visit to the Grove Park Inn, a weekend in Harkers Island, and everything in between! My first trip to Harkers Island was absolutely amazing, and I definitely...

Must-Have Fall Jacket
Now that the weather is finally cooling down here in Dallas, I'm thrilled to introduce coats into my wardrobe again! Dressing for Fall is definitely one of my favorites, as styles circle around cozy classics and boots with everything! Though I love all things trendy,...
One Flared Skirt, Two Ways
When I'm traveling for more than a week, I like to pack items that I know I can mix and match to save space in my suitcase. This J Crew flared skirt is one of my favorites to travel with. Though a blue skater skirt may not seem like the typical neutral, I love the way...
Pink Autumn
Orange, brown, gold... and PINK - It's time to turn a new leaf over for Fall and make it pink! Though this vibrant hue generally isn't associated with the warm neutrals of the season, I think it's time to add it in! This bright moto jacket I snagged last season is one...
The Girl With Curves
Recently I had a friend reach out to me about plus size clothing and the challenges she faces finding fashionable pieces. What intrigued me the most about this request was how she said, “I’m talking real fashionable choices – It’s a major challenge, but it’s bound to...
Feeling Fall
Spending the weekend in Tennessee always makes me really appreciate the Fall season. With the perfect weather and relaxing atmosphere, it’s the best way to embrace the new season. We spent the weekend in Nashville celebrating a close friend’s wedding, and this week I...
Bold Prints
A bold print on a classic shape is one of my favorite ways to add a little pop into my look. I love investing in designer pieces that will not go out of style, but can still be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. Last night I paired one of my...
Not Your Boyfriend’s Jeans
If I could wear my boyfriend jeans everyday, I would be one very happy girl. There’s nothing better than the versatility of denim, but having the comfort level of sweats! To keep from looking too slouchy in boyfriends, I like to pair them with extra feminine...
Monochrome Midi
The midi skirt has been one trend I’ve been searching for all season, and since I am on the shorter side, I was determined to find the perfect fit to keep from overwhelming my frame. I picked up this white midi from the Missguided showroom in New York, and I am so...
The Must-Have Blouse
Wrap blouses are a classic and feminine trend that works well on every figure and can be worn on any occasion. I snagged this Nasty Gal wrap blouse before my trip, and it has definitely gotten its fair shares of wear since then! The feminine fabric makes it the...
Checked Out
When the term "shift dress" comes to mind I immediately imagine a conservative and classic structured dress. Though this is often the case, I have developed a new obsession with Missguided's shift dress section (well.. all of their dresses for that matter), which...
Leather Trimmed
One trend we cannot stop craving this season is definitely leather. Whether you choose a full-on leather look like Ellen or decide to add subtle hints into your look like I did, leather will definitely give your look a simple yet bold kick for Fall. Finding an awesome...
Travel Wear
When it comes to traveling, comfort is definitely my primary focus for dressing. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people venturing through the airport looking like they just rolled out of bed in their pajama pants and a college tee. With all of the cozy-chic...
