THE PERFECT HOLIDAY BLAZER

So there I was minding my own business, online shopping for great holiday pumps when this blazer glamorously attacked me! Anything leopard or sequins will always catch my eye. Blend leopard AND sequins together and I’m in love! With a price tag of only $78 I knew I had to add this jacket along with the red suede pumps to my Nastygal cart.
This sequins goddess will accompany me to holiday parties, casual and dressy. It will also serve as that perfect cover to layer over an oh-so short NYE dress. However, I refuse to stop there. Something this spectacular needs to be worn year round. I’m thinking over black or ripped denim shorts like these and mini skirts/dresses! The possibilities are endless.
Happy Monday,
TRAIL BLAZERING IN THE BURBS

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned before, but I am a true city girl at heart. A high rise with a door man and boutiques steps away, has always been my idea of the perfect home.
This is why I was a little more than apprehensive when my husband and I fell in love with (and purchased) a house in… wait for it… the suburbs! Serious questions began to arise. Would I be too far from my friends? Would we be able to find good eats, shopping and more importantly artistic inspiration?
Instead of letting these fears continuously swirl in my head, I threw on this Haute Hippie blazer and surveyed the area. To my surprise, our new neighborhood boasts 3 expansive hubs that could rival any high end shopping mall, an amazing designer outlet center; unique little boutiques and just about every type of cuisine you can imagine. As if that isn’t enough to squash my nervousness, I’m only 20 minutes from the office (with traffic) and 30-45 from the Uptown/Downtown Dallas areas.
What fears have you overcome lately? Did you figure out a way to look and feel stylish in the process?
Hope you’re crushing your Mondays!

My high school years did not consist of dates, dances or proms. I was raised in a very strict religion and those rights of passages were simply out of the question. So I’m always up for any chance to twirl in a pretty gown.
This one has all of my favorite elements. It’s uber feminine in pink and has pockets!!! The extreme high low silhouette is so girly but look closer and you’ll find the fabric is surprisingly embossed with edgy leopard print! This may not make up for missing prom but it’s a big step. I feel like quite the modern debutante and so will you!
