My Kind of Casual!

Hi There! I call this look: EASY!!! A weather appropriate jacket, tailored shirt, ripped jeans and a nice boot and you're done. The bag is an oldie, but definite goodie. Its from Target's collaboration with Philip Lim from a few years ago. If you missed this collaboration, I'm definitely sorry for you. I came out of it with this bag, the last one in the store I found at 12 noon! A pure shopping miracle I tell you!!

The last few days my dad was in town for his birthday. He mainly came to visit my little girl, Camille lol. It was such a great time with him here. Camille was 9 months since he last saw her and she's grown so much. They had the best time hanging out together. We visited our local pumpkin patch, went shopping and just enjoyed each others company. My mom passed away five years ago, so any moment I can spend with my dad is priceless. He returned back home today and we miss him dearly.

Tell me, how did you spend your weekend? Are you ready for the holidays? I'm a Christmas fanatic so I can't wait to get in the full holiday spirit!!

See you Sunday for my next post!!

Fall's Best Vests!!

The weather is finally changing and cooling down a bit in Dallas. It's the perfect time to start layering and adding stylish fall vests to your closet. I love vests for this reason and there are so many great, affordable options out there to build your fall wardrobe with. I love that these vests are neutral in tone and can work with so many outfit options. You could layer them with a long sleeve sweater or t shirt with jeans or leather leggings, or edge up a knit dress by topping it off with a vest as well. Fall vest's are my go- to as the weather turns crisp and chilly. I can't wait to pull out mine to wear for the Pumpkin Patch this weekend!!

The Little White Dress and Burning the Midnight Oil!

It's 12 midnight and I am up writing this blog post. Is it possible to be so tired that you take a nap at 9 at night because you still have things to do and can't go to bed yet? This is my life right now. I work full time, have a 10 month old baby and the daily struggle of trying to figure out, "whats for dinner?" I know some of you can relate. Life goes by so fast and quickly, you struggle to find time to get things done sometimes. When I decided to start a blog, I thought, "am I going to have time for it?" I knew it was something I really desired to do, but did not want to fail at it if I could not be consistent. Well, I am only a few months into blogging and I couldn't be happier to be up at midnight writing this post.

Blogging is something I really enjoy. It's a creative outlet for me to do something different outside of my 9-5. The key word is that I enjoy this! You make time for things you like to do and I am learning that this is one of those things. If nobody else reads my blog, I know that I am still happy to create looks and throw them out to the universe and say that I did it! I don't worry too much about page views or if people will like the outfits I put together because I am passionate about doing this and I love it. I wish I started blogging earlier if I knew what happiness it would bring me. 

Is there anything that you have in your mind that you want to do, but haven't put any action towards doing it?? I implore you to hop to it! Get out of your own way and make it happen! What's important is to do what is on your heart with the comfort of not questioning yourself and thinking, "what if?!" There is nothing like perfect timing and with a little prayer and planning, things will fall in line. So I challenge you, we have plenty of time left in 2015, whatever it is on your "things to do" list, or "I wish I could" list, DO IT!!! What do you have to lose?!
