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,
LOOK CHIC IN DENIM OVERALLS
Overalls: Denim Blvd similar here & here / Shirt: J.Crew / Bag: Louis Vuitton / Shoes: Lola Shoetique Similar Pumps / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban / Bracelets: House of Harlow & Kate Spade / Ring: YSL / Earrings: Old, Similar Hoops / Nails: OPI / Lipstick: MAC
With versatile washes and fits, denim overalls no longer have to look frumpy or child-like. Here are some easy tips to look chic in this blue jean get up.
1. Wash: Make sure the color works for your skin tone. Wearing a certain rinse of denim jeans may look a lot different once the fabric is extended to your upper half.
2. Fit: This type of garment will skim your thighs, butt; hips and tummy. Make sure the fit works in all of these areas.
3. Fabric: Use the same rule as you would regularly with jeans. You want to go for a fabric that’s stiff or loose enough for your body type. I’ve opted for a not-so-stiff style that will give and allow my curves to breathe.
4: Versatility: Overalls can easily come off as painter’s or gardener’s only attire. It’s more ideal to be able to dress them up or down. Make sure yours look great with pumps, sandals, flats and even boots. More bang for your buck is always key!
5: Adjustable: A good pair of overalls is like a good bra. Make sure the straps are easily adjustable. This will allow for the perfect fit and make them more relaxed as needed.

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?
