Choosing the star of my first 2014 blog post was virtually a no-brainer. Dallas got up to 63 degrees yesterday and I couldn’t think of a better time to debut this sweet little tulle number. Slipping it on instantly turned me into a giddy happy woman! I laughed, skipped and even twirled a bit. The only downside of this skirt was having to take it off at the end of the day. But the world has yet to see the last of “her”. I look forward to pairing this baby with unexpected pieces in unsuspecting places.
One of my New Year Resolutions is to step outside of the box with this here blog. I want to explore different parts of the city besides what’s in my neighborhood. I look forward to showing you all many parts of my beloved city and perhaps the country.
Happy New Year!!!
NEW YEARS EVE LOOK 3: DINNER AND DANCING
Top: Jcrew, Skirt: Milk & Honey, Tights: Express, Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Earrings: Local Boutique Similar, Mixed Gems Bracelet: Jcrew, Large Crystal Bracelet, Pave Link Bracelet: Jcrew, Bag: Kate Spade Consignment find Blingier, Jaguar Ring: Sold Out Fox Version
The versatility of this outfit makes it possible to have a fancy dinner then head straight out on the town for drinks. This skirt (which I scored here for under $50!) makes me want to twirl the night away surrounded by cascading glitter and flowing champagne. It is the epitome of why NYE is my favorite holiday, yet wearable for many other occasions.
So there you have it. The 3rd of my choices for ringing in the New Year. I still have the rest of today to decide. Will it be Pub Crawling in the neighborhood? Gathering friends at my place or twirling the night away? We shall see!

The pros to celebrating New Years Eve at home are virtually endless.
You find yourself surrounded with the closest of friends and family.
There’s no high door covers or drunken crowds.
You don’t have to worry about riding home amongst a sea of inebriated drivers.
You don’t have to cover your amazing outfit with layers to shield from the cold.
You get one last chance to show off your glamorous Christmas tree before taking it down.
And most importantly… you get to wear your highest most painfully fabulous shoes without worrying about walking over cobblestones, tripping over broken champagne glasses and you can take them off throughout the night.
This option is sounding better and better the more I think about it but I STILL haven’t made my final decision.
Happy Saturday!
PEPLUM AS A VEST
,
Peplum Top: Forever 21 Similar, Flannel Shirt: H&M Similar, Jeans: J. crew, Shoes: Sole Society, Handbag: 3.1 Phillip Lim Large, Necklace: T & J designs, Lipstick: YSL Violet Incognito, Ring: T & J designs, Nails: China Glaze Ruby Pumps
As much as I love it on others, I’m someone who’s never felt comfortable in the layered sweater look. I find them unflattering on my frame as they make me look boxy. However, I feel very comfortable and even a bit sassy with this peplum top over a jewel toned flannel. I’m excited that I found a way to wear this vegan leather piece I purchased in the summer through these cold months.
Hope you all had magical holidays!
BLACK FRIDAY DEALS!
Top: Jcrew, Vest: Similar, Jeans: J.Crew, Booties: Khols, Tassle Necklace, Spike bracelet, Bow Bracelet: Brina Box, Earrings: Similar, Sunglasses: Similar
To me Black Friday represents the color I have to wear post Turkey Day. If you happened to see my instagram pics from last night, then you know that I had an amazing meal which included the tasting of five different pies…yes FIVE!
This morning I woke feeling full and tempted to stay in bed. However, thoughts of leftovers with Sex & the City had to be squashed. I threw on this easy but chic ensemble and ran a few errands. None of which actually included Black Friday sales. I’m more of an online/Cyber Monday kind of girl. Which is why I’m spending my evening clicking over to stores like J.Crew where they’re hosting a sale of 30% off everything, including the jeans pictured. These comfy, hot Rock & Republic booties I’m wearing can be purchased for 15% of at Khols stores with this coupon! You can also find the tassle necklace and bow bracelet at Brina Box for 30% off by using the code: BLACK30. What’s most amazing about these sales is that they’re not just reserved for Friday. The J. Crew and Khols deals are for the taking until Sunday 12/1. Brina box’s sale lasts through Cyber Monday!
Speaking of online deals, don’t forget to check out my Poshmark closet for an amazing sale!
Have a happy and relaxing Friday!
I’M WALKING ON SUNSHINE
Top: in Pink or similar here, Jeans: Flying Monkey, The Courtney Bib Necklace: Baublebar, Clutch: Clare Vivier, Neon Bracelet, Mixed Gem Bracelet: Jcrew, Ring: Saint Laurent, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Shoes: Valentino
There are two reasons I’m super excited about today’s post. For starters I’m wearing my first pair of Valentino pumps! For a while these citrine babies were only available to Pre-Order in cyber world. That’s why I almost squealed when I saw them sitting pretty in the Valentino boutique at North Park Center of Dallas. Curt the manager was very friendly, helpful and even talked fashion with me. If you’re in the Dallas area be sure to give him a visit! If not they’re now in stock at the above link! The Rock Studs so beautiful that I purchased them, even with expectations of a painful wear. They have a thin stiletto heel, studded straps and pointy toes. This is usually a recipe for an achy disaster. However, after walking for blocks on the sidewalks of downtown and (to my dismay) through construction areas, my feet felt amazing. The leather is so smooth and the inner soles are quite cushioned. They are one of those rare pairs that feel just as great as they look. I even find myself standing a little longer in the closet just to marvel at them.
The second reason for my excitement is that Bauble Bar is restocking this multi-chain necklace I’m wearing! They’re available now for pre-order and will ship next month. It’s one of my all time favorite jewelry pieces and I’m so happy you’ll have a chance to share in the joy.
Happy Hump Day
