This past week I attended the
Aftershock Grand Launch event and exclusive media preview hosted by The Fashionistas in Dallas. Though I originally discovered
Aftershock at the
Simply Stylist conference when they were located in Preston Plaza, the brand has since moved to their new location at the Galleria and hosted quite the fete to celebrate. Models showcased looks from
Aftershock’s newest collection, while guests sipped on cocktails from
MiniBar and received beauty touchups from
Blownaway App – which was definitely one of my highlights, because there’s nothing I love more than a good blowout!
If you are unfamiliar with
Aftershock, it is a European brand with over 150 stores worldwide – though the Dallas location is the only store in the United States. With their focus on “affordable luxury”,
Aftershock strives to attract the attention of all ages. As featured in Cosmo, Elle, and Vogue, among others, this is one brand I recommend you check out – especially next time you need an evening gown! Take a look at some of my pictures from the event and shop a few of my favorite pieces below!

Unique textiles are always such a bold and mixed-reviewed fabric when new trends are launched, so I am a little excited to hear everyone’s feedback on this new one: Plastic. Thought it may not sound like the most comfortable or breathable material (good luck wearing that in the Dallas summer!), but I have to say, I really like this funky fabric! I snagged this
PVC orange mini last year and have been waiting for just the right time to debut it. I think it’s time! Check out some of our plastic picks below and let us know your thoughts – Do you love it or hate it?

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!
Viewing the Lela Rose runway show yesterday at Lincoln Center was definitely one of my highlights thus far! Since I’ve had the opportunity to work with Lela in the past (see here), I was so excited to get a sneak peek of all of her new designs. From her gorgeous florals to her finely tailored pieces, the show was such a feminine and sophisticated display!
For the event, I wore my leather shift dress with a bold statement necklace and my favorite Louboutins for an early Fall look. One trend I have been seeing a lot (not to mention wearing quite a lot!) is leather: pants, tops, skirts, dresses, you name it. It’s safe to say those splurge pieces you snagged last year are good for another season!
Another trend that I keep spotting around New York is braids! Whether you choose a side fishtail braid like mine (courtesy of Tresemme) or a cool braided up-do, this hair trend is definitely one to try out this season for a bold and fun new look!
Check out my look from yesterday’s show. Be sure to stay tuned for more NYFW updates and trends, and follow us on Instagram to join us on our Fashion Week journey!
Get the Look:
Leather Dress (similar: here, here, or here) // Statement Necklace // Christian Louboutin Heels // YSL Handbag (similar) // Stud Earrings (multiple colors!) // Kendra Scott Ring // David Yurman Bangles // River Island Sunnies

Finding an excuse for a mid-week spa day isn’t always easy, but thanks to Tanya Foster and Endicott PR, I treated myself to a much-needed relaxation retreat with a lovely group of Dallas bloggers last week!
Our morning began with a tour of the spa and an amazing Chill Yoga class at Exhale Spa, which was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable yoga class I have experienced. Following our class, we were all treated to a delicious lunch at Knife Restaurant in The Highland Hotel, formerly known as The Palomar. I loved the modern and dark atmosphere of the restaurant, as well as the beautiful and inviting bar area.
Our morning ended with a chill stay in the quiet lounge and a long massage in Exhale Spa. Overall, I had an amazing time at our blogger retreat with some of my favorite Dallas bloggers, and I highly recommend the full experience to all of our readers. Visit Exhale Spa or Knife Restaurant online for more information.

Finding a way to balance my beauty routine with my busy schedule is often a challenge, since I work from home and spend my days juggling meetings before my evening events. As much as I would love to run by a salon for a fresh blowout, I often run short on time at the end of my day. Thanks to my new favorite app, Blownaway, I am now able to have my beauty services delivered to my own home!
Last week, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Blownaway App for their Fox 4 News segment, which aired in Dallas last night. Though I was familiar with the app, it was my first experience ordering a service, and let’s just say I am hoping to make this part of my weekly routine. The entire process was extremely easy, thanks to the sleek and simple beauty app. By logging into my account, I was able to choose my hairstyle, time, and beauty application add-on to arrive at my apartment at 9AM.
The adorable Shyla Ryan, who is a favorite among the Miss Texas contestants, arrived at my house bright and early with products and tools galore. Within an hour, I went from barefaced and wet hair to glamorous curls and glowing skin! What impressed me the most was how my hair and makeup stayed fresh and perfect ALL day, without having to add any touchups before dinner with friends! Shyla and I had so much fun chatting and dancing to music, and the overall experience was such a blast!
Blownaway App is dedicated to finding the highest quality hair and makeup artists throughout the area, and guarantees a professional, yet easy, experience to all customers. By offering a variety of blowout styles from “CEO” to “Nightclub”, with makeup application and hair braiding or updo add-ons, Blownaway is my new go-to for event prep makeovers or a fun excuse for a group glam session with my girlfriends. Blownaway is also the perfect service to book for wedding makeovers for a bridal party! By offering $10 off blowouts and makeup with the code “PRNLSTYL” at checkout, this is one beauty service you definitely need to try out!
Take a look at some the behind the scenes shots from the shoot and be sure to download the app or book your appointment online to experience this VIP beauty treatment:
