I find silk shorts to be one of the most unexpectedly feminine items in fashion right now. There’s something about the way they feel when you have them on that instantly make you feel flirty and girly. These Rebecca Taylor floral silk shorts are a new favorite of mine, and I owe that to the greatest shopper I know – thanks, mom! I decided to pair them with these amazing gladiator heels I picked up last week and this classic Lela Rose blouse for the Blaine Bowen Jewelry party at The Ritz. Try these or these for the look for less!
Thanks Alex for letting us play with sweet Zoe!!

Rebecca Taylor Silk Shorts (look for less: these or these) // Gladiator Heels // Lela Rose Blouse // Bangles c/o Harper Designs // Necklace c/o Gorjana // Louis Vuitton Purse // David Yurman Bangles // Kendra Scott Earrings

Move over statement necklaces, there’s a new accessory trend that’s bolder than ever! Body chains are one of the hottest new accessories this season, and let’s just say I am becoming obsessed. Though I originally purchased my body chain to wear in the summer paired with a bikini, layering it over my outfits for a night out is just as fun! Though there are a variety of styles available, this dainty gold chain is the perfect accessory for any look. Similar to ear cuffs, temp tats, and hand chains, body chains are an edgy trend I dare you to try.

Cut Out Top (similar & on sale!) // Asymmetrical Skirt // Body Chain (similar) // Nasty Gal Ear Cuff // Earrings (similar) // Hermes Bracelet // Christian Louboutin Heels (look for less) //Lipstick // Rolex Watch // David Yurman Bracelets // Judith Ripka Ring // Midi Rings // Stone Ring (similar)

One thing you may have learned about me is that I am always on board to try out the newest trends. Crop tops, ear cuffs, overalls, scrunchies, you name it. However, I have to admit I am having to ease myself into one of the newest trends hitting the scene this season: the long short. Though Bermuda shorts are not a new trend by any means, considering a pair of slouchy knee-length shorts to be a feminine and daring new look is a bit daunting to me. With so many different shapes and lengths available for these new shorts, it is definitely possible to find the right shape and style for any size with a little trial and error. Take a look at some of the new looks below and tell me what you think. Like I said, they are growing on me. Are you in?

I’ve never been much of a pattern person, but I just can’t get enough of prints on prints this season! I think it all started with this little number (available here), but I am just instantly drawn to matching separates right now. When I spotted this blue and white short suit from Milk & Honey, it was love at first sight. I love the way the blazer gives a tailored look to the outfit, but tying in the matching shorts makes it the perfect set to toss on for a casual night out with the girls. See how I styled my short suit and see some of my other favorite picks below!

#rSthecon – rewardStyle’s “The Conference” took place in Dallas this past weekend, and we were so excited that we were able to attend this year. The Conference was held at the Joule Hotel and was one of the most fabulous events we have attended yet. Friday morning we gathered at the Joule to meet with 22 brands (such as Piperlime, Kendra Scott, Nordstrom, French Connection, ASOS, Nasty Gal, and plenty more!) to learn more about their brand and how they worked with bloggers. Lunch was held at the original Neiman Marcus downtown, which was complete with everything pink and feminine! Later that evening we all met downtown at The Eye for a picture-perfect happy hour hosted by Kate Spade. Day 1 was definitely a success, and we had so much fun with all of our new blogger friends!

We all gathered at the Joule again on Saturday morning for a full day of meetings to learn more about the industry. The rewardStyle speakers were so informative, and we were so excited for all of the new tips and information we took away from the day! Lunch was hosted on the terrace by Express, where we got an inside look into their new runway campaign (keep an eye out for Kate Uptown next season!). That night, we were so excited to be a part of The Outnet’s 5th Anniversary party at St. Ann in uptown and loved seeing the premiere of their new video campaign starring Amber Venz of Venzedits, Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook, Helena of Brooklyn Blonde, Jessica of Tuula Vintage, and Aimee of Song of Style.
Since so many bloggers traveled from all over the world to come to Dallas for the conference, the weekend was wrapped up with a full Texas experience luncheon on Sunday – and what better place than Southfork Ranch where “Dallas” is filmed! With live country music, corn hole, a bloody mary bar, mechanical bull, and a hay ride (which was an absolute blast), the afternoon was such a perfect way to conclude a fashionable and fabulous weekend! Be sure to check out our instagram for more pictures from the event. Let the countdown to next year’s conference begin! xo
