A WALK IN THE PARK

Addison, Texas has one of the most open and diverse strolling parks in North Dallas. This is why it’s known as the best spot to watch July fire works. The entire Addison Circle area, which always houses shops, restaurants and bars gets even busier on the 3rd of every July for Kaboom Town.
So before the tents go up and the roads are blocked off, I’ve decided to take a quiet stroll and enjoy the gorgeous blooms. Some friends and I may brave the crowd and make it back out on the 3rd or head to Rangers Stadium on the 4th for a ball game, dogs and fireworks.
What are you pending plans for Independence Day?
HARVESTED CROP
Top/Skirt/Shoes: Similar/Necklace/Sunglasses/Clutch/Bracelet: Similar/Lipstick: Lady Danger/Ring/Nail Polish
It’s been almost a year since I first heard of this whole crop top craze. This was me “No way am I doing that. My mid drift made its final appearance in the 00s”. This was before I realized that when paired with a high waisted skirt one gets a slivering peep instead of a full on show.
Note to self… Crop tops + High waisted anything = classy and chic.
Or when that fails I can just blame it on the Texas heat. A girls’ gotta stay cool.
BECAUSE I’M HAPPY
Jacket: Similar/Jeans/Shirt/Shoes/Necklace/Clutch/Watch/Bracelet/Lipstick: Ruby Woo/Rings: YSL, Luxe Cartel /Sunnies
I’m so psyched for this much needed spring break. It’s fallen directly on time change week, which means I can spend the first of longer sunny days patio-ing instead of in a class room. It also allows time to work on an exciting new venture I’ll announce in a few months. All of this plus my new ombre tips have me feeling like a “room without a roof”!
Who else is with me, and why?
MY NEW BEST FRIEND
Top: Grace Elements, Skirt: Burberry Similar. Pumps: Chrisitan Louboutin, Necklace: BaubleBar, Clutch: Clare Vivier, Bracelet: Stella & Dot
I am literally OBSESSED with this necklace from Bauble Bar! I have to admit that the thought of such a chunky piece intimidated me for months. Would it lay weird on my busty frame? Would it be a piece that I could only rock for certain occasions? Would it overwhelmingly take away from the girl wearing it? With all these questions swirling, I still pulled the trigger and purchased. From the day it reached the doorstep, I have not regretted my decision.
It upgrades any outfit and instantly makes me feel “dressy”. I wear it out with friends, to the office and even for weekend shopping trips and errands. I love the way it feeds in to the edgy look of my faux leather sleeve tee here.
So how about you all? What pieces were you apprehensive to buy, but have quickly become your best friends?
BIKER JACKET
Jacket: Topshop / Tank: Topshop / Leggings: Express / Boots: Steve Madden / Clutch: Clare V / Necklace: Gorjana / Rings: Express / Sunglasses: Ray Ban / Lipstick: MAC
If we’re buddies on Instagram you know how obsessed I am with downtown Dallas. I’m actually in the process of selling my suburbs crib and hopefully finding a cool spot in the city! There’s just so much to do and I love the energy.
It also doesn’t hurt that shooting downtown makes for really cool photos like here and here. I felt so in my element strolling around in this Topshop vegan leather biker jacket.
Where do you feel most at home? Are you a city, country or suburb girl/guy?
