We were so excited when we were chosen as one of Tootsies Dallas Top Bloggers for 2014 and have had so much fun over the past couple months collaborating with the Dallas team and the other five bloggers chosen! As three girls who love fashion more than anything, getting to play dress up in a store full of beautiful designer clothes for a photo shoot and fashion show is like a dream come true!
Last week Tootsies hosted the Top Blogger Finale Fashion Show at the store and we had an absolute blast. We had so much fun getting curls and blowouts from Shawna at the Pin Salon again, and loved our bold looks from the amazing Blusington crew! We each chose a look from the store to wear during the event, and since Elizabeth and James was the spotlight designer of the event, we each chose a piece from their newest collection!
Each blogger styled five looks for the models to wear on the runway. We chose “Elegant Contrast” as our theme to represent our differing yet similar styles through the ultimate color contrast, black and white. We also wanted to highlight our love for Dallas events and parties by choosing styles that can be worn to cocktail and evening events. With Ellen’s love for crop tops, cut outs, and leather, and Blair and Janie’s love for prints, silks, and classic shapes, our collection blended together all of our styles to come together as one clean and trendy look.
As our models strutted the runway in our favorite looks, we were interviewed by the hilarious and adorable Courtney Kerr: star of Bravo TV’s “Most Eligible Dallas” and “Courtney Loves Dallas”, as well as host of Dallas “Broadcast TV”. Judges for the event included Shannon Yoachum, Samantha Stewart, Heather Anderson, Rhonda Sargent Chambers, and Jen Smith.
Though it feels like the entire event flew by for us, we had such an amazing experience and loved meeting so many amazing people! Congrats to Dallas Tidbits, as well as all of the other wonderful girls! Big thanks to Tootsies for such an amazing experience, and also James Edwards for capturing the whole night. We can’t wait to see which lucky bloggers are chosen next year! xo
We loved meeting the adorable co-founder of Blushington from California

Being as though we are millennials in today’s society, there’s no denying our love for the Olsen twins. From their days as the crime-fighting duo to their current state of fashion-forward icons, Mary-Kate and Ashley will always be two of the most iconic stars in our eyes. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Olsen twins have launched two very successful lines of fashion: The Row and Elizabeth and James. Elizabeth and James is their more contemporary line with prices that fit my budget and happily fill my closet. The Row, on the other hand, is their couture collection carried in almost 200 stores throughout the world. The Row embodies the styles we usually associate with the twins – over-sized pieces, vintage-inspired, neutral colors, silks, etc.
Mary-Kate and Ashley have recently announced their very first retail location for The Row, and what better location than Melrose! Keeping with their under-the-radar facade, The Row is a modern and simplistic location behind a corridor of offices, which once housed the production studio of Neil Diamond. The twins aimed for the store to feel like a home by simply mixing clothing and accessories into the decor of the store, complete with a living room, dining room, and outdoor pool.
By carrying The Row’s entire collection, Mary-Kate and Ashley hope to give the store a showroom effect for shoppers to have access to all of their pieces. When asked if this retail venture could spark a similar opening for that of Elizabeth and James, the twins admitted it could be a possibility in the future depending upon the success of The Row. Be sure to stop by their new location next time you are on Melrose, and keep your fingers crossed for more locations to come!

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 backpacks just bring back happy memories. Though this trend may not be for everyone, I’m beyond thrilled to pull out my Gucci mini backpack I picked up in Cannes years ago. How do you feel about this 90s throwback?

Love the look of layering, but hate piling on layers of clothes in the 100 degree Dallas heat? Well check out the hottest new way to layer while beating the sweat: mini rings. It’s the newest, no-rule trend where creativity leads to the chicest look. Mini rings are worn right beneath the fingernail, and knuckle rings fall right above the knuckle. Toss some of these dainty bands on with your normal rings, and tada! You’ve nailed it. Are you ready to give this trend a shot?
