If you haven’t heard of Blaine Bowen, this is one Texas jewelry line you need to get to know. Started in January of 2013, Blaine Muhl set out to create a collection that combined her love for fashion, art, and philanthropy, and let’s just say she nailed it! We had so much fun at the Blaine Bowen Launch Party at The Ritz Carlton last week getting to know the designer and seeing an up-close look at her newest collections. Since a portion of the proceeds benefitted Paws in the City, we loved shopping the pieces from evil eye bangles to beaded bracelets and Texas shaped rings! The Coachella-themed fete boasted Vogue sketches, flash tattoos (a favorite of ours!), flower crowns, a braiding station, and more! Take a peek at some of our pictures from the amazing event and click here to shop the collection!

This past weekend, we co-hosted a party with our close friend, Sara Scheible, to showcase one of our favorite dishware companies, Dishique, in Dallas. For four girls who love events and parties, why not host one of our own? Sara was so sweet to host the event at her place in uptown. It was the perfect excuse to have a girl’s day and indulge in sweets, blood orange mimosas, and do a little shopping! In case you aren’t familiar with Dishique, be sure to see our post here for more information about the company. Whether you are looking to stock your house for the perfect dinner party or find a custom gift for your next wedding shower, Dishique has you covered. Take a look at some of the pictures from the event and check out their website to see how you too can host an event!

No party is complete without mimosas! We chose a Blood Orange juice to spice up our favorite morning cocktail.
The Dothan, AL plate is our favorite of course, since it represents our hometown!

One fabric I can’t get enough of this Spring is neoprene. Yes, the texture reminds me a bit of my scuba suit, but it’s such a fun new fabric I think everyone needs to try out this season! I was instantly obsessed with this neoprene Milly top and just knew I had to have it. The structured shape and tufted shoulders give an updated look to a simple tee that can easily be worn for any occasion. The best part about this fabric is that it is hassle-free and does not wrinkle! Are you ready to add a little neoprene into your look this Spring?
Get the Look:
Milly Neoprene Top // Origami Skirt // Pim + Larkin Necklace c/o Piperlime // Hoop Earrings // Hermes Bracelet // Nail Polish // Pointed Heels (these or these) // Lipstick // Rolex Watch // David Yurman Bracelets // Judith Ripka Ring // Midi Rings // Stone Ring (similar)

#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

Perfect end to the perfect weekend. xo!

Crest 3D White has teamed up with Elle Magazine to show that a pearly white smile is just as important as any fashion accessory or beauty product a girl can own! We had such a fabulous time attending the Crest and Elle Party, Cocktails & Smilestyle, at the Joule Hotel in Dallas last week. The party was on the 5th floor patio of the hotel overlooking downtown Dallas and the new Eye. It was such a glamorous event where fashion bloggers from all over the city gathered to mingle and celebrate, while a lip reader (yes, lip reader) told you everything you needed to know just through the shape of your pucker! Take a look at some of our pictures from the event, and remember to stock up on Crest 3D White products and flash that pretty smile!
