Spike it Up

Posted on May 10, 2013 by

There are many things I like about the quirky city I live in like graffiti walls. Pretty much every corner you turn in Austin has some type of artwork. Naturally, I figure they should be incorporated into my blog from time to time. Enough on the city, now to the clothing. As you know I am a big fan of wearing shoes that stand out. These glitter spiked pumps really turn the outfit up a notch. Not to mention if I got mugged, they are great self defense. Wearing a flowing top, skinny jeans and disco ball shoes are perfect for any day of the week. Happy Friday people, the weekend is here!

Oh Hey Pete

Posted on April 17, 2013 by

Well I believe it’s finally time that the famous “Pete” made an appearance on the blog today. To say I am obsessing over the Man Repeller x PJK collaboration is an understatement. The best part? You can find it at Neiman Marcus! I felt the funny little flamingo paired perfectly with this bright yellow Alice + Olivia blazer. And the icing to the cake? Neon pink sandals and bag.

Something About Sandals

Posted on April 2, 2013 by

Ladies get our your credit cards, sandal season has officially arrived. New looks from all of our favorite designers are ready for purchase. I personally can hardly contain myself. There is this wonderful satisfaction we all get out of buying a new pair of shoes, one of those feelings that can turn your whole day around.

Below are some of my faves for the Spring/Summer season which are all perfect for a warm day, brunching or even that tropical vacation we are all dying to go on ASAP.

Black + White

Posted on March 27, 2013 by

I guess you could call it love at first sight. Of course I am describing my feelings towards this A+O white top with leather detail. Are you ready for transitioning leather accents into the Spring season? Um please, the obvious answer is yes. Sometimes a pair of jeans and a pair of fun sandals are all that’s needed to complete your outfit. You know that “I didn’t try but I really did” look. Less truly can be more.

Hello Spring

Posted on March 21, 2013 by

News flash. Spring has arrived. While going through my closet moving those cold weather clothes to the back, I felt revived. Shorts weather is here! Now is the time for stellar wedges, lots of fun accessorizing and having a tan (finally). Be inspired by some of my picks for the Spring 2013 uniform.

Because Fedoras are So…

Posted on February 25, 2013 by

…Fall 2013 #NYFW. Yes, fedoras were spotted all over the runway and at several presentations. I was not only inspired by the hat but it also kept my hair dry in the pouring snow rain. After the trip was over, I concluded that a fedora totally works for me. Long hair? Check. Felt fedora? Double Check. And a pop of pink lipstick always does the trick.

NYFW Day 3 & 4: Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Posted on February 12, 2013 by

Waking up to even more snow, New York looks beautiful. My partner in crime this trip, Courtney Kerr and I were ready to bare the cold and start our day with fashion shows. Mara Hoffman and Hervé Léger by Max Azria were some on the list. I’m absolutely obsessed with Hoffman’s collection (per usual). Tribal, neons, pretty much everything that describes my style. After leaving Lincoln Center that evening, we decided to do a little shopping and grab dinner. A perfect end to the day.

We woke up early Sunday morning for brunch at Peels (delish). While there a friend of ours let us know we had been spotted in Harper’s BAZAAR New York Fashion Week Street Style! We were not only on the website but also pictured on their instagram feed! SO EXCITED. One of the highlights of the trip?! OMG yes!!!!

Trina Turk and Custo Barcelona were the shows we could make that day before leaving to catch our flight. Trina Turk included looks with fedoras. Ladies, if you don’t have a felt fedora yet get one. Must have for Fall 2013. They were heavily spotted in several shows.

Leaving the city is always hard for me. Kind of a bitter sweet feeling. I was ready to be in my own bed, but not ready to leave the fashion madness and the inspiration. The city really gives me so much life! Back to reality, until September New York.
