A Hint of Red

A Hint of Red

Though the snow has yet to hit Dallas (fingers crossed!), temperatures have finally started to drop… which means it’s time to bring out the coats! This Elie Tahari shawl coat is my grab-and-go wardrobe essential for chilly days. Dressed up or dressed down, the opportunities to wear it are endless. I tossed it on with some jeans and my Versace scarf for a casual day in the park with the family. What’s your winter wardrobe essential?

TREND ALERT: Scrunchies

TREND ALERT: Scrunchies

“No self respecting New York City woman would be caught dead running around Manhattan in a scrunchie.” – Carrie Bradshaw

Well I hate to break it to Carrie, but scrunchies are back! Designers like Marc Jacobs and Missoni have brought the scrunchie back to life in their newest collections. Though the idea of these fluffy, fabric hairbands may initially make you cringe, celebs have already jumped on the scrunchie train. Take a peek at some of the chic new ways to rock this 90’s throwback:

Fall in Fur

Fall in Fur

There’s nothing I love more than adding a little fur to my Fall wardrobe. I snagged this fur vest at Saks a couple years back, and I believe it is the perfect addition to any outfit for any occasion. To get the look, try this or this – if you prefer faux fur, try this or this.

When it comes to closet staples for Fall, a solid pair of comfy flats are key. I just picked up a pair of these navy and orange Hadleigh’s smoking slippers from Bergdorfs to give my favorite Revas a break for my recent trip to Destin. These shoes not only feel like I’m walking on clouds, but they are absolutely adorable as well! The smoking slipper is a classic, preppy shoe that has been around for ages, but Hadleigh’s has reinvented the slipper with their array of fun colors and textures to add a little pop to your shoe collection.

Though Hadleigh’s slippers are carried at retailers around the nation, such as Neimans and Bergdorfs, the company actually began in Dallas in 2009. Ed and Gable Shaikh took their knowledge of the fashion world they gained from working with Ralph Lauren, Stanley Korshak, as well as other large names in fashion, to start their own line four years ago. Named after their oldest daughter, Hadleigh’s has quickly gained fame for their quality products. What differentiates Hadleigh’s Bespoke from other luxury retailers is their focus on individually, customized tailored clothing. So whether you are looking for a classic pair of slippers or a full new wardrobe, Hadleigh’s has you covered. If you are ever in the Dallas area, be sure to stop by their flagship store in Highland Park Village – you will not be disappointed.

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

It’s always refreshing when a style is carried over from one season to the next, which in this case involves leather-sleeve jackets. What I love about this trend is how the leather can add a hint of “cool” to even the preppiest pea coat. From trenches to bombers to blazers and more, the leather-sleeves are making a statement this season. Can’t afford the price tag of true leather? No worries, designers like Vince Camuto have made their own faux leather styles for the Fall. Check out some of my favorites below:
