Hi there! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!! I am quite obsessed with leather leggings. I think I may have about ten pair and counting. I swear they speak to me and are my go- to for fall and winter wear. I’ve had these pair of olive green leather leggings for a few years now and was never quite sure how to wear them. I just knew that I loved them and had to have them. Well, I was on my Pinterest as usual and saw the above image. I knew I had to recreate it and put my own spin on it. I pulled out these leggings and knew they were perfect for this look. I also added one of my favorite statement bags to pull in the burgundy shades along with the shoes,  I intended to wear a jean jacket with this outfit, but in my haste out the door to this shoot, I left it at home. #bloggerproblems

I am super excited that next weekend I am headed to New York for a girls trip!! This will be my first time away from Camille, ever! I know I’ll be a little emotional leaving her, but I need this get away. It will be nice to take a break from worrying about bottles, nap time and diaper changes. Now its time to leave her in daddy’s capable hands…. this should be interesting!
See you upon my return from NY! Be sure to follow me on Instagram, I will be sure to post lots of Christmas in NYC pics!!

Happy Tuesday!! I’m back again with my next installment of the “Girlfriends Guide to Gift Giving.” Today I’ve picked out some super cute gifts for the “Happy Hostess” friend in your life. You know the type, she loves to entertain and have people over for food, drinks and fun. I love this guide for the hostess because its so full of fun and can suite many of those on your gift giving list. How cute are the aprons and tea towels?? They are the perfect conversation starter and so useful in the kitchen. I also love the “Olivia Pope” wine glasses too. How elegant are they? These wine glasses are so nice and big for one, two or three glasses of wine??? Lol.

Which are your favorite?

Next Tuesday I will be rounding up great gift ideas for the “homebody” friend. Stay tuned!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you are having a fabulous time with family and friends. Today’s look is an easy, comfy Thanksgiving outfit you can wear to a family dinner while yet, remaining stylish. There are so many favorite pieces to this outfit: the olive sweater cape, bold red bag, ripped jeans and these “GORGEOUS” Over the Knee boots! Now, you can always trade out the jeans for some comfy leggings so you can really get down and enjoy your meal (don’t worry, no judging here), but I always love wearing my ripped jeans anytime I get a chance. You really cannot do any wrong with this simple, but statement making look.
The year has flown by so quickly. I remember last year being on maternity leave with my little girl during Thanksgiving. We traveled to Chicago on our first airplane trip together to visit my brother in law in college. It was a trip full of worry of her first plane ride, keeping her warm in the brutal cold, and our first Thanksgiving together as a family of three. Now with having a child, the memories of my time spent with her are bolder, more vivid and have more meaning. So forgive me as I reflect on this time last year. She’s grown so much!! I am most thankful of this child of mine, who is the sparkle in my eye and the reason I keep going.
Tell me, what are you thankful for?! I would love to know!!
Outfit Details-
Sweater Cape- ASOS
Boots- Steve Madden

Hey There!! It’s time to get that Christmas shopping started if you can believe it. I’ve got some great gift guides for your bestie or nearest and dearest friends. I’ve created ” The Girlfriend’s Guide to Gift Giving” series to help you find the perfect gift for your girl! I will cover the fashionista, the happy hostess, the homebody and the foodie! Today’s installment is focused on your fashionista friend. You know the one, the friend who is always so stylish, up on the latest trends and can usually be found at the mall (this is so me) lol.

You can never go wrong with a great pair of gloves, gorgeous purse or sparkly accessories with the fashionista. If you really want to give her a special gift, a chic leather jacket or leopard cape would be perfect for this stylish girl. Really, there is something in this guide for the fashionista out there! From one fashionista to another, I’d take one of each please 🙂

Check back next Tuesday on my next guide for the happy hostess!!

Update: You can receive 15% off for the leopard clutch using code “GOBIG15!!!”

Happy Sunday! I talked to you recently about my top picks for capes (click here) and I am so in love with this fall trend. My love for capes started last fall where I went crazy and bought about five of them lol. Well, it continues and this cape right here?!?! A-MAZING! As soon as my eyes saw this beauty I had to have it. The black and white with the rust contrast just speaks fall. I kept it easy by wearing black over the knee wedge boots and my go to black bag. Trust me, you need this cape in your life. It’s the perfect fall piece to give you a little sophistication, edge and why not, a little sass!
I hope you have a fabulous week. Can you believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday?? Time flies so quickly. I am so thankful for all of the blessings in my life. I can’t wait to share the holiday season with friends and family.
I’ll be back Tuesday for our next chat.
See you soon!

Hi There! Thanks for stopping by for today’s blog post. The weather here in Dallas is still transitioning to fall. So I thought it was perfect to bring out my favorite leather pants and leopard studded heels before it gets too cold. I also am wearing the Banana Republic Olive trench dress I wore a few blog posts back. Check it out here! As you may know, olive is a huge fashion trend this fall. Its also one of my favorite colors to wear. So I was super happy to find this dress. Oh, make sure to size down as it runs big and it is NOT fitted!! But, I love how you can style this dress in many ways, especially in this look with the leather pants. It’s nothing like getting multiple uses out of a clothing item to further justify your purchase, am I right?
Also, sorry that I did not post Tuesday. I was simply exhausted Monday night and had not one bit of energy left to do anything besides get in the bed. I don’t know if its mommy hood or getting older that  makes me so tired, but its challenging. I always advocate to take care of your health first and rest, so that’s exactly what I did. I feel better now, so back to business as usual!
Did you know that I am participating in a great giveaway? You can win Stuart Weitzman “Highland” Over the knee boot and $600 in Nordstrom gift card. Click here to enter!!!
See you Sunday for a little cape action on the blog!!

I am loving the weather we have now. Crisp, cool air perfect for layering and the like! I get excited because I have tons of fall and winter clothes but barely summer. So this time of year, is my time to shine!!! Its super easy to layer with your favorite sweatshirts and button down blouses as well. I also  love layering with sweatshirts because I don’t have to iron so that right there is a win in itself lol. As you can tell, I’m back in my favorite camouflage pants and dressed it up a bit this time. I loved print mixing the camo with the snakeskin pump.
 It’s so unexpected, but it works!!

Happy Thursday!! Camouflage is easily one of my favorite prints that I can never get tired of. I love it in every form: pants, jacket, scarf, bag and of course this vest! I think camo’ gives a bit of interest to an outfit and makes it stand out. Check out these prior blog posts with a little camo’ action happening worn as a jacketpants and scarf!!!
I kept this look edgy and simple. You can’t go wrong with all black with this sort of print. Leather pants are a staple for me in the fall. I have several pairs of leather pants in my collection… and growing!! They are pure perfection and always give you a bit of edge and bit of chic when wearing it. Speaking of chic, how about these booties?!! Umm, they had me at hello!!! As I always said, Zara just knows how to treat a girl and I’m loving it. Run and order these gorgeous booties. The gold mirror detail and the cut of the heel is unmatched!!! They are gorgeous and you NEED!
I’ve linked up a few alternatives for you regarding this vest as its no longer available. I know, my heart is broken over that. It’s such an amazing piece and I hate that its no longer being offered. Come on J.Crew, bring it back!!!
Stop by Sunday for my next post! Have a fabulous weekend!!
