The Perfect Transitional Piece: The Cape!

Thank God Its Almost Friday!! The weekend is upon us and if your weather is anything like here in Dallas, its always confusing. It was rainy and cold last week and now its been in the 70s all week long! When weather like this arrives, its best to have some easy, transitional items in your closet to layer with that will carry you throughout the day such as this blanket cape! Its perfect for this inconsistent weather!! You can easily layer it with thin cami's or a long sleeve tee underneath. It's so easy to unzip and take right off when it gets warm! I'm currently obsessing over flare jeans and want to buy more. These J Brand flare jeans I scored for $20 at a consignment shop here in Dallas. I've linked another similar, yet affordable pair for you below. I'll definitely wear my flares with tanks, tees and off shoulder tops come spring! 

How cute is this french bakery right in Dallas? Their croissants are amazingly delicious! I wanted to take each and every one home with me to eat with a hot cup of coffee and cozy pjs.

Anyhoo, what are some of your favorite transitional pieces in your wardrobe?

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!!

Hi Friends! It's been a crazy two weeks for me. My little one Camille turned one last week and her birthday celebration was this past weekend. I am sorry I have not been in touch for a bit. 

I hope you enjoyed my most recent post on "How to Take 'Perfect' Family Pictures". I ask that you share it with friends and family because I think its important to really understand how moments like those are already made perfect! So often, we get caught up in the right pose, is everyone smiling, basically is everything picture perfect? There is no need to strive for perfection when your family is all together as one. How blessed are we for that reason, right?! 

This is a short post, I will have another for you Sunday where I provide more deets and photos as to what I wore in our family pics. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Oh, and these shoes though?! Amazing!

Happy Tuesday! Its time for my "Style Craving" post! If you haven't noticed by now, I am quite obsessed with fringe. It's edgy, different and if you ask me a required piece in your closet. You can keep it simple and wear with jeans and t-shirt and let the fringe speak for itself! Check out these gorgeous fringe options that I am currently craving right now. Anyone can master the fringe trend, so go ahead and join me in my love affair for fringe!!

Why am I blogging?

Happy Thursday friends!!

I thought I would share exactly why I am doing this blogging thing. Blogging is a little foreign to some who are not familiar with what it is or why someone would do it. Blogging is simply talking about whatever interest you!

Well, if you know me, you KNOW that I love fashion and all things girly. I am always reading fashion magazines, blogs or checking out YouTube videos on makeup and style. All of these things combined is a girl that's always shopping and creating different looks. I happened to hear about Instagram on YouTube and quickly became hooked! I started posting outfit of the day pictures there and received great response and followers! In doing so, I followed so many fashion bloggers who inspired me through their style and thought, I could do that!! Not only could I do it, I would LOVE having a creative outlet that I could be passionate and excited about while inspiring others through style and fashion. So through the support of my Instagram buddies and followers, I decided to stop putting it off and stop second guessing myself and get down to business. So here I am! 

I appreciate so many of you following and checking me out. I'm having so much fun meeting new people and learning about this "new" industry of blogging. I truly feel this is something that I could do long term and see where this new venture takes me!
