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:

When it comes to shoes, my philosophy is the higher the heel the better the shoe. Luckily with the return of platforms this season, my feet can finally feel a sense of comfort, without ditching the height! When lug sole boots come to mind, I definitely have a flashback to my elementary school days. That being said, we’ve all seen the recent return of the 90s, so who really is surprised by this trend?
To keep my look for Fashion Week bold and daring, I paired a
monochrome scalloped shift with a pair of
sky-high lug sole boots for a daytime look in the city. I have to say that stomping around in these boots was an amazing change from my stilettos! Lug sole boots come in all styles and colors, so for a more subdued look try
these,
these, or
these! See how I styled my look and be sure to shop my boot picks below!

Greetings from New York! The past week has been such an amazing whirlwind up here at New York Fashion Week, and I have had such an incredible time with all of these shows, events, and brand meetings, along with exploring the city with all of my favorite bloggers!
Viewing the Lela Rose runway show yesterday at Lincoln Center was definitely one of my highlights thus far! Since I’ve had the opportunity to work with Lela in the past (see here), I was so excited to get a sneak peek of all of her new designs. From her gorgeous florals to her finely tailored pieces, the show was such a feminine and sophisticated display!
For the event, I wore my leather shift dress with a bold statement necklace and my favorite Louboutins for an early Fall look. One trend I have been seeing a lot (not to mention wearing quite a lot!) is leather: pants, tops, skirts, dresses, you name it. It’s safe to say those splurge pieces you snagged last year are good for another season!
Another trend that I keep spotting around New York is braids! Whether you choose a side fishtail braid like mine (courtesy of Tresemme) or a cool braided up-do, this hair trend is definitely one to try out this season for a bold and fun new look!
Check out my look from yesterday’s show. Be sure to stay tuned for more NYFW updates and trends, and follow us on Instagram to join us on our Fashion Week journey!

Though my style is mainly influenced by bold or edgy pieces, occasionally I find myself channeling the styles of Blair and Janie by adding a little Lilly into my look. Since jumpsuits are my favorite (see here, here, or here), this Lilly jumpsuit made it’s way home with me from my last visit to Barefoot Princess in Watercolor, FL. I love the bold print on this piece, and of course the insanely comfortable silhouette! See how I styled mine and check out my other jumpsuit picks below:

Bright colors and patterns are what I gravitate towards when shopping, so of course this yellow printed Lilly Pulitzer tank found its way into my closet this summer. Yellow is such a fun and happy color, so what better way to start my day off with positive vibes than with this vibrant preppy tank I found this summer at Barefoot Princess! I paired this top with my favorite lace Lilly shorts, which have become such an easy and feminine alternative to my classic J Crew shorts. See how I styled my Lilly look and shop the links below to steal my style!

Lilly Pulitzer Tank Top // Lilly Pulitzer Lace Shorts // Burberry Sandals (similar) // Kendra Scott Earrings // Caravelle Watch c/o // Bottega Veneta Sunglasses // Reed Krakoff Bag
