Trend Alert: Feathers

Trend Alert: Feathers

fall 2014 feather trend

 

 

 

 

Being the girly-girl that I am, I can’t think of a better way to add a little sass to any outfit than with feathers! Feathers are popping up everywhere this season from a dash of feather-trim on a tee to a full on feathered skirt. Feathers are so feminine and flirty, and instantly make any outfit more fun!

For night one of Fashion X Dallas (recap coming soon!), I paired this amazing feather-trimmed blazer with a black mini dress, opaque tights, and platform ankle boots for an updated all-black ensemble. Before the event, we grabbed cocktails at one of our favorite hotels in Dallas, The Stoneleigh, where the drinks are delicious and the decor is even more fabulous! Check out how I channeled this season’s feather trend and shop some of my favorite feather looks below!

My go-to look on a cool Fall day is always a cozy sweater, jeans, and a classic pair of boots. LL Bean boots have been a casual style staple of mine ever since my days at boarding school, and I love pulling them out of the back of my closet as soon as the temperature takes that first big drop! Though they are perfect for snow and rain, that doesn’t stop me from wearing them on a perfectly sunny yet chilly day around the city!

FFF: Festival Fashion

Today is the day! 
I am so excited that right now I am on my way to Austin for an exciting weekend at Fun Fun Fun Fest! One thing you may not know about me is that I absolutely LOVE music festivals! I just love the vibes of being outside in a crowd full of people all sharing the same love of music. Though I have had Fun Fun Fun Fest on my bucket list for quite some time now, I’m pumped to experience it for my first time today!
We have teamed up with Luden’s for a social media takeover on their Facebook page to share this amazing experience will all of their followers. Luden’s, the throat drops loved by generations, introduces two new flavors to obsess over: watermelon and blue raspberry! These two new delicious flavors are sold exclusively at Target stores in the pharmacy department, so be sure to pick up a bag on your next shopping trip! Click here to follow Luden’s Facebook page to stay updated on our FFF Fest journey!
Apart from the music, one of my favorite parts of a music festival is seeing all the different styles of clothing people choose to wear. Variations from boho to grunge rule the scene, while feathers, fringe, hats, and flash tats have all become recent festival staples. Take a look at some of my festival fashion inspiration and stay tuned for live updates!

Milk & Honey Dallas

I don’t know about you, but some days I wake up and just want to toss on something comfy and casual.  Luckily for us, the sport chic trend is all over the fashion scene this season, meaning those sweats and sneakers are finally a stylish option! Since I am not a big “flats” person, wedge sneakers are my absolute favorite – and did I mention insanely comfortable? The sport chic trend can be interpreted from as little as sweats with a sporty sneaker to a look as bold as a tailored suit paired with a neon sports bra underneath. See how I added a sporty touch to my daily look and shop my favorite sport chic picks below:
