Mini bags are nothing new in the fashion world, but the latest “micro bags” by Fendi are making quite the statement this season – I mean, after being tossed around down a runway by Cara Delevingne, who wouldn’t want one? Whether these new It bags were inspired by the minis, or perhaps the quirky bag bugs, micro bags are the cutest little addition to any handbag. Yes it may seem odd to wear a smaller purse attached to a larger purse, or simple a bag large enough by itself to carry a credit card, but micro bags are just too fun to worry about the logic behind it.

Attending festivals is nothing new for me, but this weekend was my first time experiencing SXSW Interactive in Austin. In case you aren’t familiar with SXSW, it’s one of the biggest interactive, film, and music festivals in the nation – definitely worth checking out! This year, I was fortunate enough to speak at one of the panels about Blownaway App and the future of on-demand beauty (see here). It was such a cool experience getting to be involved with the festival, as well as having the opportunity to meet so many innovative and successful people within the industry!
Since the festival is very casual and high heels were a no-go, I wore my crochet dress (also seen here) with ankle booties and a braided blowout for a fun twist on my regular curls. The flared sleeves and fringe hem are perfect for one of my favorite Spring trends this year: the 70s. See my SXSW look below and be sure to follow along with my travels, hint: today I am relaxing at one of my favorite Texas resorts, The Houstonian. xo!

A little red dress, in my opinion, is just as important as the classic LBD. Finding the perfect one is not always easy, but this lace shift is a new favorite of mine. With the loose fit and lace sleeves, it can easily be dressed up or dressed down for a variety of occasions. For a simple date night look, I paired it with delicate accessories, a gold clutch, and simple Sultana slingbacks. I also plan to wear it with casual sandals, a boho necklace, and oversized tote for a perfect summer look for the beach. Check out my little red dress below and shop the links to get the look:

Though there’s nothing better than a chilly winter day, these past few weeks have really made me miss the warm sunshine! As everyone in Dallas is bundled up enjoying the surprise snow, I’m soaking in this warm Houston weather and absolutely loving it! I dressed up my column (black on black) with this lightweight pastel blazer, which is a great transition item between seasons – plus the baby blue is such a fun color. I kept my accessorizes minimal with a simple gold choker and spiked ear jackets. Shop the links below to shop my look:

While visiting New York for fashion week a couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the
Charlotte Olympia showroom for a sneak peek of their upcoming collection. For those of you who know anything about me, shoes are my ULTIMATE weakness (though I have a tendency to always re-wear my favorites, oops). I posted a
designer spotlight about Charlotte Olympia quite some time ago –
check it out here for a little background on the designer – but her shoes are absolutely amazing. From her signature Dolly to her insanely creative themed collections, this is one brand I obsess over.
For her newest collection, A World of Interiors, the designer created a line inspired by an ornate mid-century home filled with decadent heirlooms and precious family heirlooms. With cocktail table clutches and materials of wood and marble, we can definitely see the influence of “interiors” among this accessory line. For those of you who love the feline collection, you will be excited to see the introduction of her small accessory line featuring key chains, iPhone holders, credit card holders, and iPad cases – perfect gift ideas!
Apart from the funky handbags and sky-high heels,
Charlotte Olympia also launched her new ABC collection featuring a colorful collection of classic loafers with a wide array of themed adhesives to customize your shoes. Whether you are a “C is for Champagne” kind of girl or a “V is for Va Va Voom”, this collection has a style for everyone – starting at 695.
Check out my photos from the showroom and let me know what you think – Are you as in love with it as I am?
