Denim Jacket Salute!

The denim jacket is one of those staple items in your closet you don't really appreciate until you really need it. To be honest, I got rid of the denim jacket I had and as the saying goes "you don't know what you got until its gone" rings true. So I purchased this one and I love it. Its the perfect jacket to throw on with anything and go! From jeans, dresses or skirts, the options are endless! I like to roll the sleeves up and stack a few bracelets on for a little extra "umph!" I also loved pairing my black, ripped jeans with the brown, suede over the knee boots and snakeskin bag. Its a great mix of textures and adds a little excitement as well. 

Do you still rock a denim jacket? How do you style this classic piece?

Oh, before I forget! I must invite all of my Dallas fashionistas out to a Pop Up Shop event featuring "Luxury Garage Sale" at the "W Hotel- Victory Park," Sunday, March 6th! Luxury brands such as Chanel, Celine and more will be on sale at great prices. Time to whip out that credit card and shop!

Parisian Vibes... in Dallas!

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!

Fringe in the City!

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! :)

See you soon for my next outfit post!!

Farewell Sweet September!

Hey Loves! Don't you love it when things come together so easily? Thats how this casual fall outfit happened. I was planning to wear it for a blog shoot earlier this month but that didn't happen. So I decided to wear it to the Blog Conference I was telling you all about and it was well suited for the occasion. Comfortable, pulled together and edgy, just how I like it! As I rushed to get ready, I grabbed the jacket and wedges and ran out the door. Once I put the jacket and shoes on, I was thrilled that it looked great in my haste. These are the moments we all hope for am I right? Lol. 

As always, I wish you all a good week. September is basically over and I am ready for the month of October. October is always action packed for me! It's my wedding anniversary (October 3rd to be exact), my father's birthday and my husband's birthday. I'm looking forward to spending some time with these special men in my life that I am truly grateful for! 

See you soon!
