This jumpsuit right here? LOVE! This jumpsuit has become my favorite purchase from the “Lilly for Target” collection by Lilly Pulitzer that launched at Target a few weeks ago. A blogger friend and I stood in line early that Sunday morning, the day of launch, with a game plan, comfy shoes and hopes to snag everything on our wish list and we did! The collection was highly anticipated and sold out immediately in stores and online, so sad to say you probably won’t be able to locate this jumpsuit at your local Target. I have linked up some jumpsuits and other clothing pieces featuring the palm print trend for you guys, so if a jumpsuit is not your taste, maybe a cute dress or skirt is up your alley!

Hope to see you Sunday for another post! Please be sure to follow my blog and subscribe using Bloglovin or the other Social media icons to the right of the page. You can also follow by email so that each post is sent directly to your inbox!

Wishing you a weekend of fabulous shopping, sales and your size available in every color lol!

Happy Shopping!

Denim Shorts: Two Ways by alwayzzfashionablylate featuring long sleeve tops

Welcome back fashionistas! I didn’t post Sunday due to Mother’s Day and I wanted to enjoy time with my little family. It was a beautiful weekend and I am so blessed to be a mommy to my little girl, Camille!!

I am currently craving denim shorts for the summer. I live in Texas and the summers here are BRUTAL!! You have to be barely clothed to possibly survive the heat lol. These shorts are perfect, they have the proper length so that I am not revealing any cheeks! Once you turn 30 things require a bit more covering then they did in your twenties so these are perfect lol. They also have a little distressing which I love!! You can do so much to dress up shorts, the proper shoe and accessorizing can take it to the next level for a night out or date night with your love. I also love an easy, casual look with a cute hat and comfy sandal to run errands, mall hop or enjoy a lazy weekend. Be sure to stop by Thursday for another post!!

My Closet… The REMIX!

Welcome back! Don’t you love this clean and classic look on today’s post? This is a complete closet remix with the addition of only one new item: white skinny pants! Everything else in the post are old, tried and true items from my closet that I doubt I’ll ever part with. It has all the components you need for your wardrobe: fitted blazer, nude pumps, statement bag and classic striped shirt. These are all things you need in your wardrobe and not have to worry if its “out of style” or a “one and done” trendy look. But real talk, I am not always one to worry about trends, I just do me and rock what I want lol.

I like to think that certain looks can take me anywhere I go and this is one of them. The clutch is my all time favorite and is such a statement piece that I can always count on it to make a look pop and step it up a notch. These nude pumps are comfortable but sleek and if you can’t afford a red bottom, well this is the pump for you! This blazer tho’? Zara, Zara, Zara! I can always count on them to have the best fitted blazers and this one is a few years old and still looks good! What pieces in your wardrobe can you always count on to take you everywhere and you can remix with different looks? See you back on Sunday for another post!!

Oh yeah, see those cute pink buttons to the right of the page? Yes? You can follow me on all other social media there, especially Instagram. I am always posting little fashion, lifestyle and home decor bits that you are going to want to keep up with!

Outfit Details- Blazer: Zara (old) but super cute options here, omg, one in every color please and here! Striped Shirt: J. Crew (old) similar White Pants: H&M Nude Pumps: Nine West and in other colors! Handbag: L.A.M.B. (old, no longer available) Tassle Necklace: Brinabox (no longer available) but sold here and love this one! Sunnies: TJ Maxx (old)

Happy Sunday loves! Its been a long week and I have been super excited this week to have friends and family here in town for my little girl baby dedication! I have been super busy getting things together for this event. Life as a mommy is overwhelming but it brings me so much joy every time I see that little face and know that she is all mine!

This week’s shoot was in the Highland Park area in Dallas and its such a gorgeous location for pictures. If only I could pack a bag and hop on a plain to Spain, I wish lol! Also, the hubby shot these pictures!! It was a new experience for us both and having a baby in tow while snapping pictures is not easy. But, we made it work (barely)! I love this maxi skirt, its colorful, bright and the perfect pop of color to your spring wardrobe. I’ve had it for some years now and it never goes out of style. Its a good ole’ TJ Maxx find and I also picked it up in a fun fuchsia too! I usually wear it with a tank or tee and keep the look super simple and easy. This look works for church, dinner or a fun evening out. I’ve linked up some similar colorful maxi skirts for you below to purchase, so hop to it!! See you Tuesday for another “Style Craving” post!!

Skirt: TJ Maxx find, BCBG (old) but like these! here and here! V-neck tee: Target Handbag: Henri Bendel no longer available but adore and have this one! Shoes: Steve Madden click here

Hey friends! Welcome back! I love wearing skirts. I feel the most girly and feminine, so a pencil skirt with a little leg showing is right up my alley. I put this outfit together so last minute and I love how it turned out. Don’t you love when last minute outfit choices come together?? Of course, I had to add a fringe handbag to the mix. You can always rely on H&M to participate in trends but, for an affordable price! I have this purse in two colors already 🙂 Check back with me on Sunday for another look that I am excited to share!

Outfit Details:
Blush Pink Sweater: H&M old but similar here! White Midi Skirt: H&M here and in gray too! Blush Fringe Handbag: H&M here and in three other colors! Sunnies: Aldo Shoes, no longer available similar Arm Stack: H&M Shoes: Steve Madden I want all the colors, click here! Feather Ring: here!

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!Be sure to follow by clicking the social media buttons to your right or follow by email! See you Sunday!!

Outfit Details:
Dress: Nanette Lepore (old) but love this and this too! Shoes: Zara (old) but perfect dupe!
Feather Ring: Sole Society buy here! Multi Chain Necklace: H&M (sold out) but check this out! Bracelets: H&M buy here!

Fashionably Late in Sweatshirt and Heels by alwayzzfashionablylate featuring shirts & tops

Happy Tuesday!! Today’s post is a feature on my blog called “Style Cravings,” which are different looks or current styles that I MUST have in my wardrobe. Look for these posts once a week on my blog and you’ll probably see my current craving appear really soon (no, but really)!

My current craving are these gorgeous bright, fuchsia pumps! I love colorful shoes because they really add a nice contrast to an outfit and is so unexpected from the usual black or nude. You gotta love the brunch sweatshirt too! I’m all about brunch and hit the brunch “circuit” as I like to joke, pretty hard. There is nothing like a little mimosa, sweet pancakes and bacon, yes bacon, to make the weekend oh so grand! See you on my next post Thursday where I share another look from my photoshoot with Megan!
