Trend Alert: Agate

Trend Alert: Agate

I love lots of color in a room, and I am obsessed with the agate trend that is popping up everywhere.  It’s such a fun and simple way to add texture and something unique to any room.  Agate tends to be a little pricey, so if you ever find a cool piece on sale I suggest you buy it and use it as decoration in a shelf, on a coffee table, or anywhere else that needs a burst of color.  Luckily lots of designers are picking up on this trend so you can find everything from coasterslampswine bottle stoppersbookends, and much more.  I think we will be seeing these beautiful pieces around for a while, so I recommend you pick up a unique agate sooner than later!

It’s a rainy Monday in Dallas, which means comfort is the ultimate go-to for the day. There’s nothing I love more than an over-sized sweater to cozy up in and avoid the dreary weather outside. Check out my cozy chic look of the day:

The Novel Way to Accessorize

The Novel Way to Accessorize

“What’s in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” – Shakespeare

First the Kindle came to take the book from the cover, but now designers have come to take the cover from the book. As a lover of literature and a Shakespeare groupie, I am head over heels for these new book clutches. What better way to express your inner bibliophile than by carrying a classic read alongside your LBD?

Low Heels: Do or Don’t?

When sky-high heels swept the runway, I jumped with joy. The higher the better! This is precisely why I am not 100% thrilled with the newest trend: heels lower than 3 inches. This could mean a return of the awkward kitten heel – SHIELD YOUR EYES! Yes, I understand they are probably more comfortable, but they just seem way too practical to me. Take a peek at some of designer’s newest heels:
