NYFW LOOK ONE

I wore this striped little number for my first day at NYFW last Sunday. It was a packed day of brunches & parties so I knew I wanted to be chic but comfortable. I recently discovered Oasis Fashion (a london based brand & I am actually visiting the flagship store today, but more on that later..) and fell in love with this striped shirt dress. I love that I could dress it up for the Mode Media and Rewardstyle parties, but not feel over dressed for Jenn's brunch at The Mckittrick Hotel (which I highly recommend btw). I ended the night at one of my favorite lower east side bars 'No Fun' with a few of my fav bloggers, and then it was off to bed and onto to the next big day.

WHITE DRESS REVISITED

You might recognize this little white dress from a few weeks back when I wore it in this post. This Fall I am all about remixing my wardrobe and transitioning my favorite Summer pieces for cooler weather. I picked up this amazing grey drape front jacket the other day, knowing that it would be a perfect final Fall touch to so many outfits (*bonus it is under $100). What are some pieces y'all plan to remix through the season?

1 x 4: SUEDE SKIRT NO. 4

For the fourth and last look in this installment of 1 x 4 I decided to go a little edgier. Two of my other favorite pieces in my closet are this Asos crop top and my Zara booties that I picked up last summer in London. I love how mixing all of these basic pieces together is simple, but still chic. What did yall think of this series? Any suggestions for what I should pick for the piece??

HELLO FRIDAY

Hello Friday! It has been quite the hectic week & I am ready for the weekend! I have been busy prepping for #NYFW the last few days and living in comfy cute clothes like this tee & adorable plaid cardigan (also bought it in black and white). I also picked up these Juicy jeans at Kohl's last week and will definitely styling many outfits around them during my trip! 

PS. Speaking of fashion week make sure to check out super chic Kohl's limited edition collections from LC Lauren Conrad Runway & Thakoon.

Greetings From Wine Country

I just got back from the long weekend in Napa Valley and oh my gosh did we have fun! Going into this trip, I didn't know very much about wine...except how to drink it : ) I can't wait to share everything that we did next week in a city guide for you guys. Until then, I'm going to crack open a bottle of red and start packing for NYFW!!

1 x 4: SUEDE SKIRT NO. 3

I've loved the idea of eating farm to table, but I never really knew where to start. So I was super excited when I discovered Urban Acres Farmstead in Oakcliff. In a nut shell,  Urban Acres is a Dallas Co-op that provides  about 1,500 lbs of produce from over 50 farms to each of its produce share customers. It's only been a couple of weeks, and I can already see a change in my eating habits. But when I pick up my veggies, I can still indulge my sweet tooth...if amazing homemade ice cream is more your speed than broccoli make sure and check out the Melt pop up shop (open through October). 

In case you missed the memo, I have been styling this suede mini skirt once a week for my 1 x 4 series (1 piece 4 ways) and this is week three! I kept it casual with my favorite chambray shirt and a pair of converse. PS. Isn't this Barrington tote bag adorable - they just came out with their new fall pattern and I am drooling!
