After an amazing 10 days in New York, I am finally back home in Dallas ready to update all of you on the newest trends, my favorite NYFW outfit looks, and all of our wonderful experiences and events from the trip! One of my highlights of the journey was definitely the rewardStyle party on the rooftop of The Empire Hotel. Catching up with all of my favorite bloggers, as well as meeting many new favorites, was an absolute blast. The entire rewardStyle team threw an over-the-top fete once again, complete with goodies from Kendra Scott, Piperlime, and more!
One of my favorite new trends (which is isn’t necessarily “new”) is the collared white blouse. Channeling a more structured look with a tailored shape and stiff collar, the white blouse is a must-have this season. Paired alone or layered under a dress or sweater, this is your newest go-to for any occasion.
Since crop tops are my number one favorite trend this year, I chose to wear this edgy Nasty Gal collared blouse for my Saturday afternoon event look. Since the sides of this shirt are connected solely by a black elastic band, I paired the crop with a high-waist leather pencil to avoid showing too much skin. The high-neck collar balances out the bold sides, giving an edgy yet sophisticated twist on the white blouse trend. See how I styled this trend for the rewardStyle event and click on the links below to shop my look:

This week on Milk & Honey, we decided to style this fabulous pink kimono two ways. Ellen styled hers with acid wash cutoffs and gladiator sandals for a Bohemian-inspired look, while Blair chose a more feminine look by pinning it over as a maxi dress with a pastel bauble necklace. We both paired the kimono with a variation of gladiator heels – our ultimate obsession right now! Check out our looks and be sure to visit Milk & Honey to snag our style!

Move over statement necklaces, there’s a new accessory trend that’s bolder than ever! Body chains are one of the hottest new accessories this season, and let’s just say I am becoming obsessed. Though I originally purchased my body chain to wear in the summer paired with a bikini, layering it over my outfits for a night out is just as fun! Though there are a variety of styles available, this dainty gold chain is the perfect accessory for any look. Similar to ear cuffs, temp tats, and hand chains, body chains are an edgy trend I dare you to try.
Get the Look:
Cut Out Top (similar & on sale!) // Asymmetrical Skirt // Body Chain (similar) // Nasty Gal Ear Cuff // Earrings (similar) // Hermes Bracelet // Christian Louboutin Heels (look for less) //Lipstick // Rolex Watch // David Yurman Bracelets // Judith Ripka Ring // Midi Rings // Stone Ring (similar)

One fabric I can’t get enough of this Spring is neoprene. Yes, the texture reminds me a bit of my scuba suit, but it’s such a fun new fabric I think everyone needs to try out this season! I was instantly obsessed with this neoprene Milly top and just knew I had to have it. The structured shape and tufted shoulders give an updated look to a simple tee that can easily be worn for any occasion. The best part about this fabric is that it is hassle-free and does not wrinkle! Are you ready to add a little neoprene into your look this Spring?
Get the Look:
Milly Neoprene Top // Origami Skirt // Pim + Larkin Necklace c/o Piperlime // Hoop Earrings // Hermes Bracelet // Nail Polish // Pointed Heels (these or these) // Lipstick // Rolex Watch // David Yurman Bracelets // Judith Ripka Ring // Midi Rings // Stone Ring (similar)

#rSthecon – rewardStyle’s “The Conference” took place in Dallas this past weekend, and we were so excited that we were able to attend this year. The Conference was held at the Joule Hotel and was one of the most fabulous events we have attended yet. Friday morning we gathered at the Joule to meet with 22 brands (such as Piperlime, Kendra Scott, Nordstrom, French Connection, ASOS, Nasty Gal, and plenty more!) to learn more about their brand and how they worked with bloggers. Lunch was held at the original Neiman Marcus downtown, which was complete with everything pink and feminine! Later that evening we all met downtown at The Eye for a picture-perfect happy hour hosted by Kate Spade. Day 1 was definitely a success, and we had so much fun with all of our new blogger friends!

We all gathered at the Joule again on Saturday morning for a full day of meetings to learn more about the industry. The rewardStyle speakers were so informative, and we were so excited for all of the new tips and information we took away from the day! Lunch was hosted on the terrace by Express, where we got an inside look into their new runway campaign (keep an eye out for Kate Uptown next season!). That night, we were so excited to be a part of The Outnet’s 5th Anniversary party at St. Ann in uptown and loved seeing the premiere of their new video campaign starring Amber Venz of Venzedits, Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook, Helena of Brooklyn Blonde, Jessica of Tuula Vintage, and Aimee of Song of Style.
Since so many bloggers traveled from all over the world to come to Dallas for the conference, the weekend was wrapped up with a full Texas experience luncheon on Sunday – and what better place than Southfork Ranch where “Dallas” is filmed! With live country music, corn hole, a bloody mary bar, mechanical bull, and a hay ride (which was an absolute blast), the afternoon was such a perfect way to conclude a fashionable and fabulous weekend! Be sure to check out our instagram for more pictures from the event. Let the countdown to next year’s conference begin! xo

Perfect end to the perfect weekend. xo!
