Houston Fashion Blogger

For my weekday look, my go-to is a pair of my favorite DL1961 skinny jeans, a roomy blouse, and a pair of comfortable ankle boots perfect for running around between meetings and appointments. Though I occasionally find myself sporting a pair of flats, a great pair of chunky-heeled boots are my favorite to give me that “put-together” feel, while giving my feet a break from high heels.

For a busy day in Houston yesterday, I went with my go-to look and chose a baroque-inspired blouse with a pearl statement necklace. With a packed day of meetings, I spoiled myself after with a fresh Blownaway blowout and one of my newest addictions – Crave Cupcakes, yum. Check out my casual weekday look and shop the links below:

SWFW: Day Two

SWFW: Day Two

SWFW Beach outfit

For the second day of South Walton Fashion Week, I opted for this hunter green Splendid dress and a lightweight Alice and Oliva vest that I snagged a few years ago (try this similar one!).   Dressing for Fall when it is still hot outside can be a challenge, however, these lightweight pieces were the perfect way to stay cool on this warm October night.  The event was held on the lawn at Sandestin Grand Boulevard, so wedges were a must to stroll comfortable around the event.  destin fashion blogger brown dress with vest splendid tshirt dress gorjana necklaces flash tattoo beach SWFW Fashion blogger kendra scott brown earrings design darling clutch

Trendy Travel Outfit

When it comes to traveling, comfort is definitely my primary focus for dressing. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people venturing through the airport looking like they just rolled out of bed in their pajama pants and a college tee. With all of the cozy-chic pieces readily available in retail stores, I think it’s time we all put that look to rest. Whether you choose a great pair of stretch jeans, trendy joggers, chic sneakers, or a classic Vince tee, your travel look will be updated in a snap.

For my recent travel experience, I picked up a new pair of DL1961 stretch skinnys for the journey and paired them with an oversized Free People thermal. I tossed on my favorite floppy hat to give that “put together” look, my floppy combat boots to save my soles from heels, and my favorite leather messenger bag for all of my travel goodies.

Keek’s – Buy + Sell Designer Handbags

Keek’s – Buy + Sell Designer Handbags

Keeks store dallas

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!

PS for M&H: Pink Romper

PS for M&H: Pink Romper

romper and leather bandeau

Pink has and will always be my favorite color, so it’s safe to say I’m a happy camper when I find the perfect pink piece to add to my wardrobe. I’ve mentioned before that I think rompers are such an easy and comfortable dress alternative (see here), so this Milk and Honey romper was ultimately a must when I found it. To keep the romper from hanging too low on me, I paired an awesome leather bandeau underneath – I totally recommend adding one of these to your closet. It’s such an easy way to add a punch to your look, and I plan on pairing it with a high waist skirt as well for a nighttime look. Check out how I styled my romper below and click here to get the look:
