Printed Trousers

Printed Trousers

One trend you should definitely keep an eye out for this Spring would be printed trousers. Trousers are such an easy alternative to jeans if you are looking to remain casual, yet chic. If you are looking for the perfect pair, Lela Rose has you covered. She has been designing the perfect printed trouser for years, and I am a huge fan of mine – tip for shopping: be sure to buy a size down, as they tend to stretch! To learn more about Lela Rose, see our post here. I paired my trousers with this Lilly Pulitzer peplum sweater and a pearl necklace my mother-in-law gave me.

Goodbye bandage skirts. This season’s mini is all about the asymmetrical hemlines. The faux wrap skirt (and oftentimes, skort) is popping up all over the place, and buyers can’t seem to get enough of it! Since black and white is clearly my favorite color combo, I was stoked when I found this grid-print mini last week. I paired it with a black and white leather and mesh top with zip sleeves for a bold look. For other asymmetrical options, try this, this, this, or this!

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

30A Wedding

In celebration of Blair and Peter’s one year anniversary, we wanted to spotlight their beautiful wedding in Seaside, FL last year. The couple was introduced by mutual friends in boarding school before attending SMU, so the perfect wedding was definitely a must for these two after all the years.

Since Peter proposed to Blair in Roaring Gap, NC, they decided a charming beach town near our home in Destin would be the perfect location for the wedding. With the help of their amazing wedding planner, Heather, the weekend was more than a success for everyone.

We hope these two are having a wonderful anniversary trip in Klosters, Switzerland right now! Take a peek at some of the beautiful pictures from the weekend below:

This season I am all about crop tops. I just can’t seem to get enough of these for Spring, which is why I am loving this Peter Pilotto for Target crop top I picked up last week. I thought the black and white pattern was perfectly retro when paired with these round sunnies, and I added this orange cross-body bag for a fun pop of color. A good tip to remember when wearing crop tops is to pair it with a high-waist bottom to ensure too much skin isn’t showing. I am also a huge fan of vintage shopping, so when I spotted this vintage leather pencil skirt I knew it was a must for my wardrobe and the perfect skirt for this top. What Spring trends are you loving this year?

PS for GM: Buick LaCrosse

PS for GM: Buick LaCrosse

Out of the three cars my sisters and I tested for GM, I have to admit the Buick LaCrosse was my favorite. Though I had never considered the LaCrosse to be a luxury sedan, I was more than impressed by all of the features in the car. The interior of the car reminded me a lot of Blair’s old CTS with the spacious backseat and overly cushioned leather seats. The car was fully equipped with all of the best amenities. My favorite feature (which definitely took me by surprise) was the way the seats vibrated while I turned or if I was too close to other cars. Talk about keeping you alert! Another feature I loved was the heated steering wheel, which was a huge plus with the polar vortex that hit Dallas recently.

The LaCrosse was equipped with Bose speakers, XM radio, and an iPhone plugin (as well as charger). The driver information display behind the steering wheel made driving easy with all of my controls from cruise control to my favorite playlists right at my fingertips, plus the speed display on my windshield made staying under the speed limit a cinch. Overall, I was very impressed with the Buick LaCrosse. To learn more about about this car, click here.
