You guys, I have found a deal for you!! This amazing black, fringe, leather jacket is only $30!!! Now, I bought this jacket about a year ago at Nordstrom's for $100. I was OBSESSED with it and still am. As I was putting together this post and tried to find similar options for you, I was certain it was no longer available. But, to my surprise (drumroll please) I found the same jacket and for $30!!! Is that not an AMAZING deal?! Matter of fact, most of the items I am wearing in this post is under $30 with the exception of the handbag and boots. I love steals like this that look like you spent serious coins! The gray jeans are my new favorites and fits me to a "T." Since the weather is starting to warm up, I wanted to pull out my Stuart Weitzman Over the Knee dupes one more time! I will miss these boots when the weather warms up and calls for open toe sandals, flip flops and wedges.
I also linked up some other super cute fringe jacket options if you care to click thru!
The weekend is already coming to a close. I had the best time with my family yesterday enjoying the sunny weather, eating al fresco and taking my daughter to see the ducks at the pond.
It's Thursday! This week has flown by and I am happy about it. I think today's look is definitely up there as one of my favorites. I absolutely love graphic tees. A graphic tee allows you to be creative and expressive. You can never have too many if you ask me! You can pretty much wear this look anywhere, even for Valentine's Day if you like. I bought this hot pink leather moto jacket last year and sadly its no longer available in this particular color. I thought it would be fun to add a pop of color to this look and I really feel its the icing on the cake. You guys know I will throw on my favorite boyfriend jeans and fringe boots with just about anything. I think this outfit came together perfectly. Don't you?
If you didn't know, I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. It is a place that is near and dear to my heart. I know the Detroit you may hear about on the news sounds unsettling. And that it is. But, growing up it was my home. And there is no place like it. When I tell people I am from Detroit, they are usually surprised. I suppose we all have our thoughts on our expectations of people and where they're from. I guess because of what they have heard, they expect someone from Detroit would act or behave a certain way. I'm not really offended. But, you most definitely can't talk down on my city to me!! lol. I always will represent proudly where I am from!!
This tee speaks volumes about my city, my home. Most times, it does feel like Detroit vs Everybody. The challenges my city faces are definitely difficult. But, the memories I have growing up in "Tha D" always makes me smile. I remember when I was little, playing in the park at Belle Isle across from my grandmother apartment, Easter egg hunts at my church, riding my bike in my neighborhood and getting ice cream at our neighborhood ice cream shop. My high school, Martin Luther King Jr. Sr. is one of the top three high schools in the city. The memories I have of my classmates and teachers are priceless. Cruising downtown with my friends, the summer music festivals at Hart Plaza and eating delicious food in Greektown on a warm summer night. My mom was a community activist and worked hard at rebuilding the neighborhood and serving the community. Everyone knew Mrs. Taylor! She would take me with her to the community meetings and activities. She showed me what its truly is like to give back to your community and to be selfless as well. Looking back, I can appreciate those moments. Her love for the city was truly grand and she loved every second of the work she had done. My mother passed away five years ago. My dad is still there in the home I was raised in. I haven't visited home since I've had my daughter. I'm tearing up a bit writing this post because the memories of home are so vivid and strong. Even though I live in Dallas now, there is truly no place like home. Detroit, I am rooting for you! And I love you.
You already know I've been in a blush pink sorta mood lately if you seen my previous blog posts (click here and here). It's such a soft, flirty, subdued color that I am totally into. Blush pink paired along with cool gray tones of the moto jeans and fringe booties (worn previously here) offers up serious eye candy! I am really in love with the quilted bag!! It's a great Chanel "look for less" option with a wallet friendly price point. Sadly, its sold out at the moment. But, if you stalk the site, hopefully they'll restock soon. Its such a great piece and I want you to have it!! I'll also post on my Instagram if I notice that its restocked.
I wish you a great week! This Friday is my 34th birthday! I am thankful to God for allowing me to see another year. I can't wait to share it with friends and my family this upcoming weekend.
I'm a girl whose all about a good cape!! I find they are so easy to throw on and are a great transitional piece when fall weather is a bit fickle. I've rounded up some of my favorite capes that I am currently obsessed with. You can wear capes dressed up or down with jeans, skirts, slacks, boyfriend jeans, flares... the possibilities are endless!! I can't wait to share with you some looks I've recently shot wearing this great fashion trend that I am sure you will love.
How do you feel about the cape trend? Which cape is your favorite?
Please make sure to stop by Thursday for my next look wearing one of my favorite prints, camo!!
Bonjour!! Am I in Paris strolling the banks of the Sienne River? Touring historic museums and having a cappuccino at the quaintest cafe's? I wish! I'm right here in Dallas lol. My fellow fashion blogger friend, Melody and I had this perfect location in mind for a bistro/cafe themed shoot and I am so obsessed with how it came out. The weather has finally chilled down a bit in Dallas, so I pulled out all of my fall necessities to make the look. The fedora hat, camouflage scarf, leather leggings and the perfect fringe booties all came out to play! It felt so good to finally layer and put on warmer clothing for the shoot.
Melody and I also had brunch here. We ordered up two lavender cappuccinos and started our blog shoot. Special thanks to Mercat Bistro for being so amazing and letting us shoot here with the most courteous and friendly staff. Mercat Bistro also has the yummiest food! I had the Strawberry & Marscapone Crepe and it was so good! Be sure to check them out if you're in Dallas!
Hey Loves! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sorry I've been a little MIA. October has been such a busy month and getting blog shoots done has been a bit of a challenge. But, I'm back. Are you sick of me wearing fringe? Too bad, lol. These shoes right here? Great dupes to the Schutz "Kija" fringe heels and I adore them. I wish they came in gray, but only this gorgeous brown and purple were available. Steve Madden has been after my pockets this season. So many affordable dupes out there that I cannot pass on. I feel like I'm a walking advertisement for them because I've been buying so many of their shoes lately.
So, Steve Madden if you wanna hire your girl, I'm down! :)
