FLORALS IN THE FALL
Sweater: This Season’s Version / Skirt / Clutch / Flats / Ring / Watch: Similar 25% Off / Lipstick
Florals have always been one of the top reasons that Spring is my favorite time of year.
So when designers started styling floral pieces with dark backgrounds for Fall and Winter I was oh so pleased. I can stay warm and still exude that breezy without-a-care feel. I paired a Ted Baker sweater with this flowy pleated skirt, quilted flats and a pop of my favorite color. Because every girl needs the option to frolic in flowers all year long!
Happy Thursday!
THE STRIPES THAT SAVED ME

If you’re anything like me, loose blouses are not usually your friend. They can do little to nothing for a curvy or hourglass figure. This is why I was over the moon when I tried on this beauty. It has that trending relaxed fit but the stripes point diagonally inward giving the top a flattering feminine look.
Rio Ritz, you’ve done it again!
What trends do you find unflattering for your frame? How have you found a way to “werk” it on your body type?
Happy Friday!
100TH POST!

It feels like just yesterday that I uploaded my first blog post. I grabbed my camera, a blingy blazer and hubby (who is not a photographer, just an amazingly supportive man and fast learner).
The other day we stopped for a few photos paying homage to how it all began. I also wanted to show appreciation to the man who’d snapped the first photo for Blingaholic88. This definitely called for Ily Couture’s wifey tee. There’s something about the grey color and fancy script that begs for a little bling. My answer to this was simply donning the Kenneth Jay Lane bracelet that I wore down the aisle almost one year ago.
So here’s to post 100! It’s hard to believe that my 1st Blogiversary is just 3 months away. I’ll share this milestone with my birthday so I’ve definitely got something fun in the works. Stay tuned!

We’ve been having a really cold winter here in Dallas. Seeing snow fall and feeling temperatures drop to 20 degrees is not something us Texans are used to. I’ve spent the past couple of days bundled up on the couch with hot cocoa and Netflix. So when I noticed that we’d reach the mid 50s, I just had to explore my city.
Seeing the sun after days of dreariness always motivates me to visit unchartered parts of town. So I tossed this vintage vest over a classic polka dot sheer top, grabbed one of my besties and explored a cute little area in University Park.
What are the things you yearn to do after stretches of dreary days have ended?

With summer quickly coming to an end (say it ain’t so), I’m getting full use out of my stark white items. Last week it was this little white dress, the week before an off the shoulder look. Now, I’m kicking off this week with a white shirt & white pants.
Sure there’ll be creams in the fall and winter whites around the holidays, but there’s nothing like bright white pieces to brighten a Monday.
What are you guys gonna miss from your summer wardrobes?
