Windy City Style

Windy City Style

French Connection Leather Navy Coat
After my stay at the Houstonian Hotel earlier this week, I flew to Chicago for a quick trip of meetings and exploring! Since it was my first time to Chicago, I absolutely loved seeing the city, visiting sites (the bean was a must), and of course having my first Chicago deep dish – yum! Coming from Texas, the freezing weather was definitely a big change, so this French Connection coat was perfect for keeping me warm!

For my weekday look, my go-to is a pair of my favorite DL1961 skinny jeans, a roomy blouse, and a pair of comfortable ankle boots perfect for running around between meetings and appointments. Though I occasionally find myself sporting a pair of flats, a great pair of chunky-heeled boots are my favorite to give me that “put-together” feel, while giving my feet a break from high heels.

For a busy day in Houston yesterday, I went with my go-to look and chose a baroque-inspired blouse with a pearl statement necklace. With a packed day of meetings, I spoiled myself after with a fresh Blownaway blowout and one of my newest addictions – Crave Cupcakes, yum. Check out my casual weekday look and shop the links below:

One Dress, FOUR Ways

One Dress, FOUR Ways

 

KiKi Lynn Green Shirt Dress

The shirtdress has always been a timeless classic, so we believe this is one item every woman needs to invest in for her wardrobe. Finding the right shape and fit is very important to keep a feminine look, which is why we love these classic shirtdresses by Kiki Lynn. Kiki Lynn, created by Kimberly McKinley in the summer of 2014, is an American lifestyle brand that represents a timeless and effortless style.

Since the three of us all have a similar style with our own twist, we each styled this classic in an individual way that best fit our personal style.  Blair wore her shirtdress with a white pea coat, burberry scarf, and flat boots for a casual weekend look to roam around the city while being comfortable and chic! Janie paired her dress with Christian Louboutin pumps and a neverfull tote for a trendy office to happy hour look. Ellen layered an oversized gray sweater with booties and a statement necklace as an edgy twist on the dress, and later wrapped the sweater around her waist for a sportier look.
We absolutely love the versatility of this dress, and definitely consider it an item everyone needs in their closet! Visit the Kiki Lynn website to shop the collections!

EVENT RECAP: Fashion X Dallas

EVENT RECAP: Fashion X Dallas

Fashion X Dallas Host

If you’ve been following us on Instagram, you know that we had so much fun attending Fashion X Dallas this past weekend. From the creators of Fashion Week Austin and Fashion Industry Gallery (F.I.G.), Fashion X Dallas was one of the biggest fashion events to hit the DFW area, showcasing emerging designers from all over!

We were so lucky to be a part of the host committee for the event, which included front row seats with up close and personal views of the runway collections. We were amazed by all of the talented designers participating in the show, and definitely left with a ton of new favorites! Though I have to say the gowns by Mysterious by NPN and Ese Azenabor really had me head over heels, all of the designers went above and beyond for the show! Be sure to check out complete list of designers who participated.
When we weren’t seated for the shows, we loved roaming in and out of all of the Fashion X Dallas galleries finding some of the most amazing accessories and jewelry collections! From Laura Pierson to Blaine Bowen, and Allison Mitchell to Brackish, the amount of lust-worthy items was almost too much to take in!
Take a look at some of our photos from the event and click here to learn more about the event and participating designers! Be sure to add Fashion X Dallas to your must-see events of 2015 – Trust us, you will not be disappointed!

Trend Alert: Feathers

Trend Alert: Feathers

fall 2014 feather trend

 

 

 

 

Being the girly-girl that I am, I can’t think of a better way to add a little sass to any outfit than with feathers! Feathers are popping up everywhere this season from a dash of feather-trim on a tee to a full on feathered skirt. Feathers are so feminine and flirty, and instantly make any outfit more fun!

For night one of Fashion X Dallas (recap coming soon!), I paired this amazing feather-trimmed blazer with a black mini dress, opaque tights, and platform ankle boots for an updated all-black ensemble. Before the event, we grabbed cocktails at one of our favorite hotels in Dallas, The Stoneleigh, where the drinks are delicious and the decor is even more fabulous! Check out how I channeled this season’s feather trend and shop some of my favorite feather looks below!
