I have always been a sucker for black and white. So naturally, I am drawn to White House Black Market. Since spring is ideal for skinny jeans and tees it is time for me to freshen up my basics! I recently purchased this striped top from my local WHBM outlet and absolutely love it! This asymmetrical folded hem makes it so unique and be beaded v-neckline gives it a chic touch.
I styled it with Jessica Simpson skinny jeans and Cole Haan wedges for a fun day out in the sun shopping! I must say, I absolutely love the fit on this tee. It is really forgiving and comfortable with a lightweight and breathable construction.
Have fun with your basics this season! Just because they are called basics doesn’t mean you have to look plain! Style it up, and look fabulous in your simple cotton top!

Since things are already starting to heat up here in Houston, I decided a beautiful spring floral dress needed to make an appearance.
This spaghetti strap accordion pleat dress has a gorgeous blue background with a tonal orange floral print. I decided to make it a bit more casual and fun by pairing it with a denim vest, straw fedora, and espadrille wedges.
Seriously you cannot help but feel great in this fun dress! The design is perfect for a sunny day, and the chic midi length makes it ideal for almost any occasion. I purchased this dress in size M to get a more relaxed fit. The waist is elastic so it does have a beautiful silhouette I just prefer the top to not be tight. Going up a size provides a more carefree look, which is what I was aiming for.
If you are looking for a fun, feel good, carefree dress this is the one! It looks great on without any fuss, and can be styled so many different ways!

Embroidery is definitely in this season, so any chance I can incorporate it into my wardrobe, I do! This lightweight gauze top from Stage offers just the right amount of detailing and is ideal for warm, breezy days. I love the sleeveless design, trimmed in a light ruffle, with a sweet peplum hem. The neutral shade makes it easy to pair with your favorite denim, and for me, a fun pair of wedges!
I really wanted to add a touch of elegance to this look so I decided to top it off with a pair of earrings from Niceties and Nuptials. These clip pack earrings are comfortable and so glamorous. I can see myself pairing them with many ensembles this season from evening wear, to casual everyday ensembles! Check the bottom of this post for a coupon code for their site!
Dark wash denim pairs best with this shade of top, so I have paired it with my favorite Jessica Simpson denim and to keep the elongated look, I chose natural espadrille wedges.
I really have my eye on wedges this season! They provide height, add a new flare to the look, and most of all, keep you comfortable while looking your best!

With spring around the corner, I have really been feeling bright florals and blush tones! This lookbook contains 3 ensembles I have been sporting lately that include pink hues, faux suede, lace, florals and perfect layering pieces making this style ideal for transitioning seasons!
The first look is a fun floral print dress with a lace up accented neckline and swing silhouette. I have paired it with black quilted booties, a fun faux suede hat, and rose gold mirrored sunglasses. This look is perfect for a sunny day out and about!
The second look is a light pink floral lace dress with a floral embroidered Democracy bomber jacket and burgundy wedge booties. This look is ideal for breezy days and perfect for spring! The wedges tie the look together and provide height without compromising comfort.
Lastly this third look is just a simple mock neck lace dress paired with a tassel necklace and cork wedges. This fully lined lace overlay dress is so fun to wear! I have a feeling it will be making many appearances this upcoming season!
Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean you have to be boring with your wardrobe! I am one of those people who will find a way to work in cheetah print no matter the season, and here is one of those times!
I must admit, this sweater is an oldie but a goodie. I purchased it from Express a few years ago and still find it to be one of my favorites this time of year. For this look, I decided to pair it with leggings, a knit pom beanie, and XOXO over-the-knee faux suede boots. To me, these boots totally make the outfit!
I wore this ensemble out for a day shopping, and was comfortable and stylish! The fun, fierce print of the sweater makes a statement, so I don’t feel as if I’m lost in this dreary weather!
Let’s keep things fun, during the transition to spring! Just because the sky may night be a bright blue, you can surely let in some warmth with your wardrobe choices.

I am sure that I am not the only person who took advantage of Boohoo’s Black Friday sale! In the U.S. our promotional offer was for 60% off your purchase! Yes, that’s right, 60 PERCENT! I went a little crazy buying items not only for myself, but gifts for my family as well! For those of you who are wondering, yes the items made it in plenty of time for Christmas. Boohoo is a UK based company so the products take around 3 weeks to make it to Texas.
Here I will share with you a few pieces I purchased, and how I styled them. Enjoy!
This light grey chunky knit sweater dress is so fun and comfortable! I decided to style it casually with Olivia Miller fringe boots and a felt hat. 🙂 To finish the look, I added a black and metallic butterfly scarf from Express. This look was perfect for keeping me warm, and comfortable while running errands around town.
This next look was my absolute holiday favorite! The asymmetrical cropped pants add such a fun and interesting touch to a chic ensemble. Everyone wanted to know where these cool pants were from! For the top I kept it simple with a Boohoo turtleneck. The fitted design kept the look sleek and polished. I finished it off with Jessica Simpson patent heels and a green velvet envelope bag from Nordstrom.
And finally, the dress of all dresses! I am obsessed with this floral print number! Since I am 5’8″ I went ahead and opted for the Tall version, which ended up perfect! This dress offers just the right amount of style, trend, and sophistication. I have a feeling it will be making quite a few appearances once the weather warms up a bit! Here I have paired the dress with matte grey heels from Urban OG, and an Ivanka Trump metallic grey mini bag.
Overall I love my purchases from Boohoo and will definitely be shopping online with them again soon! The quality and style cannot be beat for the price, and the variety of merchandise is unbeatable! As long as you can afford to wait a few weeks for your items to arrive, I totally recommend Boohoo! 🙂
This season has been really strange here in Houston when it comes to the temperature. One day it will be 90 degrees, the next flooding and 40 degrees by night!

Keeping your pieces versatile, and layerable is best when the weather is unpredictable! Enjoy! 🙂

For the office, this look is top notch! Adding a solid color turtleneck under a sheath dress is the perfect way to transition it into winter.

Another one of my favorites! This look is so fun, you seriously can’t help but smile when looking at this adorable sweater. Bears are one of my favorite animals, so when I spotted this sweater, I knew I had to have it!
And lastly, a great animal print look! 🙂 I feel like cheetah can be worked into your wardrobe almost any season! For this ensemble, I went with an oversized sweater, leggings, tall faux suede boots, and a super fun pom beanie!
Have fun this season with your wardrobe! No matter the temperature, embrace your style and experiment! I created some new looks this season that pushed my boundaries, and really liked it! It’s always a good thing to broaden your fashion horizon!
I don’t know what it is, but I have really been into wearing black right now. It just never goes out of style! So for this look I decided to pair a lot of my favorite textures…I know, just because I like it, does not mean it will pair nicely together, but in this case, I would say… SUCCESS!
Here I chose to mix a chunky textured knit sweater, faux suede skirt, fringe and quilted faux leather booties to complete the look. It does sound like a lot going on, but since everything is the same color, it works!
I wanted to create a fun look-something that would be easy to wear, and ideally for night time occasions. Also, something to keep with the current textural trends, but cool enough to wear out with the weather we are experiencing here in Houston, and I came up with this!
For accessories I decided on a clutch from Ralph Lauren and a gorgeous statement necklace from Kendra Scott. This particular piece is actually from Rocksbox! I am loving this subscription service, and cannot stop raving about it! Since jewelry trends move quickly it is really nice to be able to wear quality pieces and try them out before deciding to invest. I will provide a link and code at the end of the blog if anyone is interested in a getting a free month of unlimited jewelry rentals!
And once the temperatures drop, layering a jacket over this ensemble is all you will need! Here I have styled a black faux suede studded jacket from XOXO with this ensemble to add yet another layer of interesting texture and dimension (but saying true to my color palette.)

Jacket: XOXO brand Stage Stores
Skirt: Joe B. Stage Stores

I am so ready to kick off fall and jump into all of the fun colors, sweaters and boots but Houston doesn’t seem to be with me on this, as the heat is still unbearable! Luckily today’s ensemble is the perfect blend of warm weather meets fall!
This fun sleeveless dress features a laser cut overlay with faux suede texture and nude lining. The mock turtleneck is my favorite neckline at the moment…I cannot get enough of it! Since this dress is a bit short on me I decided to pair it with tall boots. For some reason shortening the gap between the hem of the dress and the top of the boot creates the illusion of a “longer dress” not sure if anyone else uses this trick but it is a lifesaver for me!
These boots are comprised of a dark faux leather and feature a heel and mock fold-over button accent. They have a casual feel, but pair perfectly with a dress! This was a rather quick and easy ensemble for me to put together. The burnt orange shade of the dress paired perfectly with shades of brown. I decided to go with rich chocolates and rose gold accessories to complete the look. Perfect for whatever my day has in store!
