The Look: Peasant Dress- Free People, Gold Wedge Sandals- Kate Spade New York, Brown Boho Bag- ASOS (old).
 
 
 
 

Feeling like Laura Ingalls and casually biking around Uptown Dallas on my super chic vintage bike, is what I live for. Sike. I do not own a bike, nor do I aspire to become a farm girl. This frilly, peasant dress by Free People caught my eye on the sale rack at my work. For only $30 I just had to have it. Now, of course I can be an impulse shopper, but how can you pass up a cheap Free People garment? You can't. The floral printed baby-doll dress is ideal for casual brunch dates, or a weekend in West Village. The fabric is super breezy for summer and feels amazing. It looks great paired with gold wedges and simple gold jewelry pieces. The neckline consists of layered ruffles to give it that 70's vibe. If you dress to be unique, this would be an ideal piece for your diverse closet. My shoes are Kate Spade, in which I acquired a couple years ago from my aunt's bff. I have been obsessed with them ever since. If you enjoy the Little House on the Prairie look, this dress will give you life.

Shop My 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

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.

Prints, Purple and Publications

2:01 PM

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.
