I am loving a good pleated midi skirt! Its one of my favorite fashion trends for 2016. I’ve been eyeing this pleated midi skirt from ASOS for a long time. So I finally decided to just hit the button and buy it! Its a gorgeous, subdued gold color that can be worn with just about anything in my closet. When I shop “trendy” pieces, I like to make sure they are pieces I can still rock after its no longer “in style.” How can this pleated midi skirt ever go out of style though, right?

 

I hope you had a very, Merry Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love going all out to celebrate it. We did so many fun things this holiday season as a family which made it even better. Having a child who is old enough to get excited about the festivities of the holidays just made it 100 times better. We took Camille to so many Christmas events and she had a blast. I am sad that the build up and anticipation of Christmas is now over because honestly, thats the best part!

 

Well loves, the next time you will hear from me will be in 2017!!! I cannot even believe that 2016 is coming to a close. I have so many things I need to accomplish and goals that I must meet in 2017. This blog life has to go further, you hear me? So be on the look out for more diverse blog posts, great giveaways for my loyal readers and more!

 

Please have a SAFE, BLESSED and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR my loves!!

Thank God Its Almost Friday!! The weekend is upon us and if your weather is anything like here in Dallas, its always confusing. It was rainy and cold last week and now its been in the 70s all week long! When weather like this arrives, its best to have some easy, transitional items in your closet to layer with that will carry you throughout the day such as this gorgeous cape! Its perfect for this inconsistent weather!! You can easily layer it with thin cami’s or a long sleeve tee underneath or if it gets cold, throw it over a layer jacket or coat! It’s so easy to unzip this cape and take right off when it gets warm! I love it and for under $30, I’m here for it! I’m also currently obsessing over flare jeans and NEED to buy more. These J Brand flare jeans I scored for $20 at a consignment shop here in Dallas. I’ve linked another similar, yet affordable pair for you below. I can’t wait to buy a few more pairs in black and white. I’ll definitely wear my flares with tanks, tees and off shoulder tops come spring!
How cute is this french bakery right in Dallas? Their croissants are amazingly delicious! I wanted to take each and every one home with me to eat with a hot cup of coffee and cozy pjs.
Anyhoo, what are some of your favorite transitional pieces in your wardrobe?

Hi there friends! One thing is for certain, I have been a girl all about capes and ponchos this fall/winter season. They are quick and easy to throw on and make a quick outfit. For me, I have to find one that is the perfect length that allows my legs to show and give me a bit of height. This ASOS cape does just that! It is a bit wide on me, so I used a skinny belt to create some shape and flare. Also, this cape is REVERSIBLE! So you get two looks for one cape, great buy if you ask me!! I am also wearing my favorite Over The Knee boot this season, the “Gorgeous” boot by Steve Madden! It is the PERFECT dupe for the Stuart Weitzman “Highland” boot. For under $150, I have no problem indulging in this look for less option.
Have you participated in the cape trend? What do you think of it?

There are plenty color combinations out there that work in terms of creating an outfit. Navy and gray is definitely one of them! The gray maintains a cool note while the navy plays against it. Today’s outfit is no exception! I’ve had this cape for quite some time now and sad to say the company that made it is no longer. But, I have linked some gray capes that are similar to this look that I think you will like. If you don’t know it, I LOVE boots! They are my absolute favorite type of shoe, so when I saw these navy babies last year I snatched them up immediately. Fortunately, they are on MAJOR sale right now! You definitely want to grab them before their gone. They are quite comfortable and I find they fit true to size. Get em’ girl, get em!!
Happy New Year my loves! See you next year!

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!!

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!

I’m a girl whose all about a good cape!! I find they are so easy to throw on and are a great transitional piece when fall weather is a bit fickle. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite capes that I am currently obsessed with. You can wear capes dressed up or down with jeans, skirts, slacks, boyfriend jeans, flares… the possibilities are endless!! I can’t wait to share with you some looks I’ve recently shot wearing this great fashion trend that I am sure you will love.
How do you feel about the cape trend? Which cape is your favorite?
Please make sure to stop by Thursday for my next look wearing one of my favorite prints, camo!!
