Curvy Slacks
As a woman with intense natural curves, I tend to shy away from slacks. They have a long standing reputation of being unforgivably stiff and unflattering. The material usually gathers oddly at full hips, clings uncomfortably on your bum and don’t EVEN get me started on those awkwardly placed back pockets and buttons. This is why I was SO happy to stumble on these curvy slacks…

There’s something about hot weather that makes me eat just a little more. Maybe it’s the patio dinners or perhaps the martinis. Whatever it reason, my clothes are fitting tighter and I feel a little more jiggle with each step. This week I’m forcing myself to get back in gear. This girl’s trading cheese burgers for grilled chicken and lemonade vodka for lemon flavored water. I may even sprinkle in a few gym sessions with the hubs.
Until then, I won’t complain. I will not avoid mirrors. I’ll simply rock flowing maxis and all black everything ensembles. Today I’m raising my glass of Pellegrino to faking it till I make it!
How do you like to dress when you’ve added a little love to your waistline?

With one of my favorite holidays fast approaching, I’m feeling extra patriotic. Afternoons of Ranger games, hot dog stands and food truck rallies are swirling in my future!
That’s just one of the many reasons I was stoked when the sweet ladies of LA’s And B visited Dallas and graced me with one of their chic blouses. Icing on the cake? It just “happens” to be in my favorite shade of blue. With red lips, ripped white jeans and a cobalt blue blouse, I’m ready to tackle summer days and nights!
What are your favorites ways of rocking Red, White & Blue?

I am so excited to collaborate with sweet and stylish Tonya of The Shoe Maven for a second time. Instead of talking shoes like before, I’m bringing awareness to a foundation that’s very close to her heart. Tonya launched TSM Originals as a way to provide fabulous apparel designs and give back to the Michael J. Fox foundation. For every item purchased, $5 is donated to fund research and development to cure Parkinson’s disease.
Not only is this for a great cause, but the cut and quality of her shirts are spot on. I just love the gathered racer back detail of my new “Life is Beautiful” tank. Be sure to check out the site and find a tee or tank that best describes you!
Happy Monday loves,
Fall-ish Fashion
Let’s talk about the 3 month elephant in this virtual room…
I’ve been gone for a HOT minute. Pun intended, it’s been a scorching Summer. Which leads me to today’s much needed topic. If you live in the South or any other hot city like me, you know the heat is just going to keep blaring into Fall. As a lover of long sunny days, impromptu pool visits and frozen drinks I am HERE for it.
However, the fashion lover in me is itching to play with Fall style. So as I’ve done year after year, it’s time to get creative with Fall-ish fashion and a HUGE discount code…
