I am so excited to share with you all the newest (used) handbag boutique in Dallas! One of my sweet friends, Kristen Donnell, created Keek’s after spending several years at Goldman Sachs as an analyst. Keek’s is a boutique in North Dallas that buys and sells designer handbags. They have everything including Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Coach, Tory Burch, Chanel, etc. Basically it’s the Neiman Marcus handbag department with permanent sale prices… yes please!
Kristen has a very impressive authentication process, so they never buy or sell anything that is fake- ever! In the off chance that a fake slips by and you purchase it, they will refund 100% of the purchase price and give you a 25% store credit too. Talk about standing behind your item, right?! Keek’s is very determined to sell a good product at a good price for everyone who wants that designer bag, but not the designer price tag! Also, if you have handbags that you no longer want, they will typically purchase it for 40-50% of the retail price or even more if you want store credit. I hope everyone can visit the Keek’s on Preston Road and find that perfect bag you’ve been coveting!
Be sure to follow them here and here to see new handbags daily. Check out Kristen’s debut on CBS news to learn even more about Keek’s!

One jewelry trend that keeps popping up everywhere this season is pearls. Though pearls have always been a classic and preppy accessory, this season’s pearls are adding a bold kick to that traditional family heirloom. Ever since Karl Lagerfeld debuted his oversized pearl choker on the runway, designers have been going wild with the stones and the outcome is definitely appreciated! Take a look at some of our favorite pearl picks and be sure to stock up on this updated look:

I just got back from the most incredible trip to Klosters, Switzerland to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with my husband. It’s a very cozy, friendly, and quaint town just a two hour train ride from Zurich. I was so excitied to see the town where my husband has made so many memories, plus it’s where Kate Middleton and Prince William went on their first vacation!
We were able to fly into the Zurich airport and easily train to the town where we walked a block to our hotel. I’m not sure about you, but I love a trip where there is no driving involved and we could walk everywhere!
We stayed at the Chesa Grischuna, which is a very old family-owned boutique hotel. My husband’s family has been staying there for over 50 years, and the service is nothing short of fantastic! They also have a wonderful bar and restaurant, so after a long day of skiing you can definitely relax at the hotel. There were several boutiques so I was able to pick up anything I had forgotten to pack, plus it was fun to learn new Swiss brands.
We were very fortunate that we had wonderful sunny skies for our skiing! The one thing I had to get used to was that the color system is blue (beginner), red (intermediate), black (advanced) which was very different for someone used to skiing in the states and Canada.
By our last day, we decided to take a train ride to St. Mortiz! We fell in love with St. Moritz, and I think everyone should experience it at some point. It has all the major shopping like Chanel, Moncler, Brioni (for the hubs), Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, etc. We had a coffee or lunch at the Carlton , Badrutt’s Palace , and Hotel Kulm and decided the Carlton is by far our favorite! It’s definitely a ski town for the rich and famous! Time for me to get a fur hat, fur coat, and fur boots!
It was the best anniversary I could have ever asked for, and I’m so happy to share our great memories.

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 perfect “spooky” accessories to add to my wardrobe. The best part about my finds is that I could wear all of these items on a normal day with some of the newest trends this season – cat ears, anyone? My newest obsession are these temporary tattoos. Models and celebrities are always showing off their newest ink, but with these new temporary tats I can get the same look without the commitment! Check out my picks below:

cat ears / earrings / sweater / gold purse / pumpkin clutch / bracelet / polish / skull candle / pumpkin flats / temporary tattoos

Every Southern girl knows you should never leave the house without makeup. Whether we stay rooted in that mentality or not, we know taking an extra five minutes in the morning to apply the basic beauty essentials makes a world of a difference. I have a tendency to purchase a plethora of unnecessary cosmetics, but I always find myself using the same products every day.
I am no snob with my products and enjoy a mix of designer and drugstore brands. Eyeliner is my vice, therefore I have tried every brand under the sun: MAC, Bobbi Brown, Serge Lutens, you name it. I was surprised to find, however, the simplest and most inexpensive was my favorite- Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner. If you haven’t tried it, go buy it now. You will thank me later.
In the meantime, check out some of my other must-have beauty finds in my cosmetic bag!
