Deck the Halls
This past weekend, my family and I saw the Nutcracker at the Dallas Winspear Opera house on Friday night. It was such a fun and festive performance that I highly recommend to anyone in the Dallas area. I wore my favorite Alice + Olivia green dress with some sparkly...
A Hint of Red
Though the snow has yet to hit Dallas (fingers crossed!), temperatures have finally started to drop… which means it’s time to bring out the coats! This Elie Tahari shawl coat is my grab-and-go wardrobe essential for chilly days. Dressed up or dressed down, the...
Holiday Baubles
‘Tis the season for holiday sparkles! To celebrate the most festive time of the year, I wanted to spotlight some of my favorite baubles from Bauble Bar. Whether you’re singing Christmas carols in the snow or sipping eggnog by the fire, these art deco inspired pieces...
Paint It Black
When it comes to style, I think you can never have enough black. It’s such a versatile color and is effortlessly chic. I mixed our Karen Millen jacket with this embellished top to add a touch of femininity to the edgy bomber look. Karen Millen Jacket: similar or look...
Chambray x Leather
Statement necklaces are a must-have to complete any outfit this season. I am in love with this black and gold statement necklace (c/o Milk and Honey Boutique), and I thought it would add just the edge my chambray top needed for a night of live music in Dallas....
TREND ALERT: Scrunchies
“No self respecting New York City woman would be caught dead running around Manhattan in a scrunchie.” – Carrie Bradshaw Well I hate to break it to Carrie, but scrunchies are back! Designers like Marc Jacobs and Missoni have brought the scrunchie back to life in their...
Fall in Fur
There’s nothing I love more than adding a little fur to my Fall wardrobe. I snagged this fur vest at Saks a couple years back, and I believe it is the perfect addition to any outfit for any occasion. To get the look, try this or this - if you prefer faux fur, try this...

Back with the Packs
It's hard to deny that backpacks are anything but practical. I mean, who doesn't love taking a break from a heavy purse every now and then and tossing all their necessities behind them. Whether it reminds me of my childhood adventures or my first day of school, mini...

Beat the Blues
One of my favorite looks for Fall is monochromatic matching. When I found this skirt I knew I would be able to get so much wear out of it this season. The length is perfect for work, but the fit and flare shape makes the perfect transition from 9-5 to Happy Hour. My...
Trick or Treat
It’s that time of year again – Halloween! I don’t know about you, but my Halloween week this year is filled with work parties and charity functions. I plan on being festive without rocking a head-to-toe lavish costume like years prior, so I’ve searched around for the...
TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets
It’s always refreshing when a style is carried over from one season to the next, which in this case involves leather-sleeve jackets. What I love about this trend is how the leather can add a hint of “cool” to even the preppiest pea coat. From trenches to bombers to...
Cozy Chic
It’s a rainy Monday in Dallas, which means comfort is the ultimate go-to for the day. There’s nothing I love more than an over-sized sweater to cozy up in and avoid the dreary weather outside. Check out my cozy chic look of the day:...
The Look for Less: Designer Boots
Out of all the seasons of the year, my favorite has finally arrived… BOOT SEASON! Though it may not be considered a “real season”, it still counts in my book. Styles come and go quickly, so it’s important to pay attention to which designer items we decide to invest...
Calling Carrie Bradshaw
Calling Carrie Bradshaw: MULES ARE BACK! Yes, you heard that correctly - those backless, slide-on heels you graciously gave away early in the millennium have made a comeback this season. Though they may resemble a shoe your grandmother would wear to Christmas dinner,...
The Look for Less: Spikes
If you thought the spike trend was over, think again. Christian Louboutin is keeping the spikes alive once again this season with new styles of heels, pumps, and boots to make your mouth water. For those of you who want the look without the heavy price tag, check out...
