Get your nails done, get a blow-out and head to your favorite spa, boutique or fancy lunch spot. Today is 'Treat Yo Self Tuesday.' You are constantly busting your butt to please others, but today you get to give yourself some loving. My generation, Gen Y, also known as the "ADD Generation", is going non-stop. We work our selves to death, stress over everything and have the need to become extraordinary. Our drive to achieve our goals exceeds beyond just our education. Some of us are workaholics, working two to three jobs during school, or even after. While this is an amazing thing, we also need to take time to un-wind every so often. The independency that has been planted inside us from a young age, is the reason behind our motivated selves. I appreciate the fact that I have to be independent and take care of things myself, but sometimes this diva needs a break. To escape the pressures of life, I like to indulge in a nice lunch and grazing the racks in my favorite boutiques. I do not necessarily need to be with anyone, I can enjoy doing these things by myself. I think everyone should be able to do that. Some people believe you need to have people around you all the time, but it is equally as important to be content being alone at times. It gives you the opportunity to reflect on yourself, re-group and get your life together in the way you want it. Happiness can only come within, and not be something you expect from someone else to provide. When I reserve these relaxing days for myself, I like to look fabulous doing so. For today's look, I threw on my new favorite pink, chiffon Ted Baker blouse with Houndstooth shorts. This outfit makes me feel glamorous and powerful. Every woman needs an outfit like that in her wardrobe. While you are on your hustle penciling in appointments, just remember to schedule that relaxing day in your Kate Spade planner that you need to take.

Summer is in full swing, and if you don't own any Flamingo printed somethings, you need to. Out of nowhere, this funky spring trend has stolen the hearts of many fashion fanatics, including me. Normally, the "hot, new, spring trend" would be florals, gross. I am ecstatic that floral ensembles have taken a back seat this season, to allow some new prints to shine. Every woman loves her some pink, and if she tells you otherwise, she's lying or not to be trusted. Flamingos are pretty, graceful and look amazing on a cotton tee. In fact, they might just be my new favorite zoo animal, sorry Cheetahs. Boutiques are stocking their shelves with this pretty trend, and I was thrilled when I discovered this gem of a shirt at my work. Certain prints can be too excessive for some, but this print can be as subtle or as loud as you want. I paired my flamingos with some comfy, soft shorts that are perfect for a BBQ, poolside pampering or a weekend outing. My favorite summer print is ready for summer, how do you style your flamingo print? Show me in the comments below.

Get My Look!

 
After a long day of shooting for the blog, I threw on a t-shirt and shorts, tied my hair up and called it a day, so I thought. My poor honey had to suffer through nine outfit changes, the miserable heat and the weekend crowd at West Village. When I say "Honey," I am referring to my amazing boyfriend and photographer. He had to capture every look in the matter of four hours. When we arrived to his Dallas apartment, we realized we forgot to shoot one look. Instead of complaining like babies, we seized the opportunity to view the amazing scene of the Dallas Skyline that took our breath away. The scene represented everything I was working so hard for. Success, major corporations, pretty real estate and accomplished careers. I get the most inspiration when I visit Uptown Dallas. The vibe there is just exuding with hard work and accomplishments. To me, this outfit represents a taste of Dallas. With a stunning pair of electric blue heels, I can achieve anything. They empower me and make me strut with confidence. The main idea I want to express is, do not let your past define your future. This is such a cliché, but it applies to my life in every way possible. Everyone goes through their own rollercoaster ride, but it is how you pick yourself up after you fall that determines where you will go. Make your goals a reality and never doubt your abilities, based on your surroundings in which you cannot control. Go and prosper.
 
 
Stay Motivated,

Ruffles are the most adorable creation on this planet, thus, you need them. Specifically, you need them attached to your clothing in the right places. What once was a basic, chiffon romper, has now been transformed in to the ultimate glamazon ensemble. People often associate ruffled clothing with southern gals, but surprise! I found this beauty on the streets of Huntington Beach, California. I guess Cali girls can get down with the frills too. As I mentioned in my last post, I took a trip to Irvine, California during spring break and found many souvenirs, aka clothing to add to my already bursting closet. This romper is one of those fabulous finds I purchased at the beach. The fabric is so light and comfy, the fit isn't too tight and shows off all the right assets. When I tried this fun little number on, there were four other amazing colors. Obviously, being the most un-decided human on the planet, it took me forever to chose this bold summer color. I am so glad I picked the fuschia because it rakes in all the compliments. My closet now consists of three long-sleeve rompers, but this one definitely takes the cake. To compliment the ruffled romper, I chose bright accessories to accompany my festive look. Anyone can pull off this sizzling summer shade, seriously.

Channeling Beach Vibes Through Vacation Essentials

Vacations bring excitement, thrill, relaxation and headaches. From packing everything you have in your closet to go on a six day life stress cleanse, knowing what to pack is crucial. My favorite part about vacations are the shopping trips. I try to pack light, knowing I will be spending most of my getaway time scouring the racks of beach-y boutiques and H&Ms hoping to find unique merchandise that is only sold at that location. It's like something inside me thinks just because I got this boxy crop top in a California H&M, makes it super different than what I would've found back in Texas. Although the buyers have to choose merchandise according to each location, the products are very similar at every store. Even though I acknowledge this, I still fall victim to it every time. Recently I ventured on a week long fabulous Spring Break trip to Irvine, California with my best friend. For those un-familiar with Cali, Irvine is in Orange County. Since my bestie and I are polar opposites, she packed t-shirts and Nike shorts, while I filled two leopard duffle bags with my most glam outfits. I have to look fashionable everywhere I go, just incase a fashion executive wants to offer me a glamorous internship. I packed my new tribal skort, freshly bought nude sandals, high-wasted shorties and baby doll dresses. Oh, and most importantly, my ASOS high-wasted swimsuits. Through the duration of my trip, I managed to find shops on every beach and visited at least two shopping centers filled with danger for my bank account. I can say proudly, that I made some fabulous purchases and I regret none of them. The most essential items I bought were this linen tank pictured above and my $7 distressed jeans from H&M. I literally wear them every week. Find your essentials and take care of them. Happy vacationing, dolls!

Day to Night Sleek in Pink

2:33 PM


 
 
 
 
(Photography by Bruce LaMotte)
 
The Look: Pretty Pink Chiffon Blouse- Lush, Black Snakeskin Skinnies- Seven For All Mankind, Black Leather Slip-ons- Report, Neon Yellow Clutch- Rebecca Minkoff,, White Blazer- Trouve, Valentino Inspired Heels- Wild Diva, Gold Choker- Grandma's Closet, Cranberry Drop Earrings- Sam Moon.
 
 
 
 
Take this easy fashion infused outfit from daytime chic, to night-time chic by adding a few accessories. The combination of the jet black, snakeskin skinny jeans and the pop of pink chiffon blouse is the perfect edgy/feminine ensemble. These Seven For All Mankind black skinny jeans are my favorite pair of pants I have ever owned. Typically, I prefer a dress, skirt or breezy shorts to cover my body, but I literally wear these all the time. Seriously. I am obsessed with the edgy vibe they exude. Did I forget to mention I scored these babies for only $5 at Nordstrom Rack? Like, that's un-heard of. Another deal I managed to get my hands on was the pink chiffon piece, which only cost $16. I feel like the queen of bargains considering how little I was able to spend on this look. The daytime outfit can easily be transformed to a classy, modest but sleek look. Round up your gal pals and grab some cocktails, or be the chicest office queen at your next business meeting. Add a crisp, white blazer, drop earrings, a bright clutch and swap the sneakers for a fancy pair of studded heels. Command all eyes no matter where you display this look.

Basking in Baby Blue

The Look: Pale blue baby-doll dress- Accents Boutique, Black leather jacket- Nordstrom, Leopard wedges- Aldo Shoes, Earrings- kjewelista.com
 
Dare to pair an edgy, leather biker jacket with a sweet, romantic baby doll dress. This look is my go-to GNO ensemble, perfect for a night out with your home-girls. My city chic outfit  brings out my inner downtown diva, and is Instagram approved. I purchased this fabulous, angelic dress from Accents Boutique before my trip to Cali. Although my beachy tan is fading, this dress looks fabulous on anyone, especially with a good steam. I still have leather fever from Fall 2015, so I say it is perfectly fine to get the most wear out of it while it's still breezy outside. I literally wear this jacket every week, it goes with everything and black is classic. The wedges were bought a couple years ago from a closing Aldo store, for only $20. I couldn't resist, even though my wallet was begging for mercy. The earrings were derived from my fellow merchandising student's e-commerce business, which I managed to score for just $5.00. This outfit is a win in my book.

Prints, Purple and Publications

2:01 PM












                          (Photography by: Bruce LaMotte)

The Look: Grid print crop top- JCPenney, Fuschia pencil skirt- JCPenney, Studded Valentino inspired heels- Cicihot.com, Aqua studs- Francesca's Collections, Beaded black necklace- Charming Charlie, Circle shades- Dallas Market Center


Pull out all the stops in this purple pencil skirt, paired with a printed crop top. The right amount of color, print and rock star accessories, create the most glam, office, street style look. That's a thing right? If not, I'm just creating imaginary ideals in my brain. I envision this office friendly "stop them in their tracks" outfit, to be worn by a fearless  fashionista. She embodies confidence, femininity and personal style. In my head, I would wear this to a meeting with my Editor in Chief at Elle Magazine. I would bring my editorial and feature story ideas to her, she would reject them, make me re-write the entire thing and I would love every minute of it. Now, I am just daydreaming here, but maybe my future fashion career will entail some form of publications, who knows. I always secretly knew there was a reason I drowned myself in deadlines when I was an Opinion Editor for my high school newspaper. My advisor back then, Carol Richtsmeier, "Mrs. Ritchie" as we called her, was like Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wears Prada if you can imagine. Every column I wrote, was re-written and edited at least ten times. She even referred to the newspaper staff as "stupid," which I secretly loved. Thanks to Ritchie, my love for writing and publications has flourished intensely.

Cozy and Craving Spring

8:27 PM






 
(Photography:Bruce LaMotte)
The Look: Hot pink Romeo + Juliet sweater-Nordstrom Rack, High-waist black skater skirt- Francesca's Collections, Tights- Francesca's Collections, Grey and black plaid infinity scarf- Nordstrom Rack, Layered chain statement necklace- H&M, Aqua studs- Francesca's Collections


Cozy layers and a great bag are all a fashionista really needs to survive until spring. For the days when you feel like wearing sweats and bumming it out, this is the perfect comfy-cozy combination, yet still fashion infused. There is no excuse for dressing like you just rolled out of bed, especially when you have a to-do list as long as mine. Put on your most glam M.A.C lipstick, grab your Kate Spade planner and hustle. Personally, I feel like Superwoman when I throw on my best garments. This outfit is the perfect statement piece. It says, "I'm ready for spring, but I'm not ready to let go of my sweaters just yet."
