Happy Monday, dears!

When you think plaid, you probably think casual + street style. Well, today I’m showing you how to play plaid up by dressing it up. You’d be surprised at how versatile plaid can be. Here, I’m wearing a contemporary plaid print dress by BB Dakota (no longer available). My favorite thing about this dress are the barrel cutoff sleeves that add a modern edge to this feminine look. You can also play up a flannel by styling it with a pencil or fit and flare skirt, and adding some bling accessories to glam it up (see previous post Plaid for more ideas). Don’t be afraid to dress up the plaid in your life– when paired with quality pieces, you can create a look with a lot of dimension.

Hi, friends! It’s been a few weeks! Between traveling and catching a cold, January made for a pretty crazy month!

Today I wanted to share with you an amazing company that spreads love by giving back. A little about these philanthropic artisans: INKMADE designs a fashion-forward line using textiles inspired by historical + modern architectural elements from around the world. Even more inspiring – a portion of the company’s proceeds go towards funding health and education facilities throughout Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Karachi. Please do yourself a favor and read more about this awesome company here.

My look: I’m swooning over this black and white geometric scarf. I can literally pair it with anything and the fabric (70% modal, 30% silk) makes it a fashionable, year-round accessory. I’m wearing a wide-leg jumpsuit from Nordstrom and Jeffrey Campbell wedges. I cannot wait to accessorize with this scarf and incorporate it into more looks.

Giving back is always in style!

The holidays are officially over and I’m kind of sad about it! I hope everyone got showered with love from their families and loved ones during this holiday season. We typically stay in town during the holidays, so we have it easy compared to those that have to fight the airport. So many of our friends seem to travel!! I’m grateful to have most of my family within a 3 hour driving distance. 🙂

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite fashion secrets this month. Have a guess at what it could be? Two words: Winter sales! Now is the time to stock up on those designer knits you’ve been eyeing but can’t seem to justify in December (because who can, when you’re shopping for everyone else!). One must-have piece is a really great sweater dress. Everyone needs one of these festive pieces, and January is the best time to stock up on ’em. From up to 60% off styles at Nordstrom and up to 50% off at Banana Republic, you can find a winter sale just about everywhere right now. Another sale that takes place early January– boots! So kick back and let me share some holiday steals with you!

the winter accessory: ponchos

December 18, 2015

SHOP MY POST

Only one week left til Christmas… Eek! I still have so much to do!

Today I’m sharing this amazing poncho that’s less than $40! Seriously, a steal. I’ll be linking several other reasonable ones as this particular style goes in and out of stock quickly. I love pairing these with skinny jeans and a great tee, or leggings and a over-sized tunic. Ponchos give a more causal look but can go with just about anything. Another tip: I love throwing this piece in my bag and using it as my own personal blanket when I travel.

Other steals:

Happy Shopping, loves!

Let’s Get Lost Maxi Dress from The Stylish Orchid | Tory Burch Wrap Bracelet | Madewell Cuff Bracelet

Good morning, friends! If you’re a southern girl like me, you’ll understand my rant. We do not have seasons in Houston! This means tank tops up until November, cut-offs all year round and maxis in December. However, you don’t have to be from the south to be able to transform your favorite maxi into a winter look.

Today I’m sharing my favorite maxi from The Stylish Orchid. Seriously, how gorgeous is this sage green during December? A break from that go-to holiday red (which a happen to love). During this time of the year it’s all about layering! In Houston, this wasn’t necessary but I loved pairing this maxi with my go-to Balenciaga moto jacket to make this look practical for cooler temps. You can also layer up by adding a mid-weight wool sweater over the maxi, creating a skirt-like effect, a light-weight cardigan, or by wrapping up with your favorite scarf and a great pair of OTK boots. The options are endless.
