The denim jacket is one of those staple items in your closet you don’t really appreciate until you really need it. To be honest, I got rid of the denim jacket I had because I was over it and didn’t feel I needed it. As the saying goes “you don’t know what you got until its gone” rings true. It wasn’t until I was looking for a perfect jacket to complete a look when I realized I needed a denim jacket. So I purchased this one and I love it. Its the perfect jacket to throw on with anything and go! From jeans, dresses or skirts, the options are endless! I like to roll the sleeves up and stack a few bracelets on for a little extra “umph!” I also loved pairing my black, ripped jeans with the brown, suede over the knee boots and snakeskin bag. Its a great mix of textures and adds a little excitement as well.

Do you still rock a denim jacket? How do you style this classic piece?

Oh, before I forget! I must invite all of my Dallas fashionistas out to a Pop Up Shop event featuring “Luxury Garage Sale” at the “W Hotel- Victory Park,” Sunday, March 6th! Luxury brands such as Chanel, Celine and more will be on sale at great prices. Time to whip out that credit card and shop!

NYC Street Style: Oldies But Goodies

Hey Loves! Welcome back! This is my final look from my “NYC Street Style” blog shoot while I was in New York in December for a weekend girls trip. I love digging into my closet and being able to come up with looks that are oldies but goodies. All of the items in this post I’ve had for over a year or so and can always count on them to be “in style.” Sometimes, having a blog can be a little hard on the wallet. There are so many new styles of clothes, shoes and accessories out there that I want to put my own personal spin on and share with my readers. However, its always great to have staple items in your closet you can rely on. This look is one of them! It was so perfect for walking the concrete jungle and taking in the city!

I promised to share with you a little of what we did on our girls trip. I feel like we ate the entire time while we were there lol. We ate at Sara Beth’s twice for brunch. The food was so good!! I definitely recommend it. Their breads and pastries along with homemade preserves were absolutely wonderful! We also visited Chelsea Market. We strolled the halls and stopped in almost every yummy vendor and shop to see all of the food goodness. Homemade pasta, fresh donuts, spice shops and the cutest seafood market, along with many more shops, were all amazing! We also had dinner at Buddakan. If you ever seen Sex and the City, the movie, you recall where Carrie had her rehearsal dinner at the restaurant with the huge chandeliers? Yes, that place! The food was outstanding! Their steamed pork buns are absolutely delicious!! Oh New York, you have my heart!

We stayed in TriBeCa at the cutest boutique hotel, Duane Street Hotel! It was the perfect location-a few minutes from SoHo and near lots of shops and restaurants. But, also tucked away on a quiet street! The staff were so nice and friendly AND they have fresh chocolate chip cookies each day for you in the lobby. With those kind of treats, you have my business! The next time I visit New York again, I would definitely go back.

We went to see The Lion King while we were there as well. It was my second time seeing it and my friends first. It was absolutely AMAZING! I always get so emotional in the very beginning of the show. If you have not seen it yet, you must check it out! It was worth every penny!

Our girls trip was so much fun and just what I needed. I work a full time job, a mommy to a toddler and a wife. Sometimes, I feel I am pulled in so many different directions. It can be so overwhelming and challenging! I thought I would be super emotional when we dropped Camille off to daycare the morning I was leaving. I teared up a bit, but reminded myself that this trip is for me and that I will be back soon to see her smile and hear her giggles. It was great to have a break from it all and let my hair down. I can’t wait to do it again!

Do you have any fun trips coming up? I’d love to hear about 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!

NYC Street Style: Black and White Of Course!

Merry Christmas Eve!! Today’s look is another New York Street Style shot from my weekend stay in New York! It was so hard for me to pack for this trip because I had to consider the weather, outfits for my blog shoot ,as well as what I would wear there day and night. I had to be very smart about what I was packing so that I could wear my blog shoot outfits while I was there. Thats why I love this look so much. It’s easy, simple and can go day to night. I wore this to see The Lion King on Broadway (AH-MAZING by the way)! These Tory Burch Over the Knee boots made it so easy for walking the streets of New York while keeping warm and comfy. The poncho cape is an Ann Taylor find from last year and is super warm, which was perfect for night time! If I could share a piece of my wardrobe to my readers it would be the cape for sure! The cross body bag I wore in my last post was so functional and perfect for traveling as well. It’s definitely the cutest little bag out there right now.

I wish you all a fabulous and safe Christmas! I wish you and your family all the blessings in the world!!

Cheap vs Chic Gray OTK boots

Cheap vs Chic Gray OTK boots by alwayzzfashionablylate featuring leather boots

Hello everyone! I know its been a minute since I’ve last blogged. But, the little one had a fever last week so I was home with her for a few days. I was super tired and didn’t have much energy to do anything. Hopefully, you’re following me on Instagram! I’ve been posting a few things there so you can get your shopping/ outfit post fix from there.

I CANNOT wait for Fall! I really don’t think you understand! With living in Dallas, the heat is ridiculous and I just want it to go away…NOW! I am so ready for fall which brings me to these gorgeous “Over the Knee” boots above. I’ve loved the Stuart Weitzman “Highland” (far left) boot for a long time. I just didn’t want to pay the price for them. At $798, it’s quite an investment piece and just was not in the cards for me. Last year the Sam Edelman “Kayla” (center) OTK boots-currently $189, were all the rage and I missed out on purchasing them. They look almost the same as the Highland boot and I kept delaying buying them. Imagine my delight when I was at the Steve Madden store a few weeks ago and saw these babies (far right)! They are appropriately named “GORGEOUS” and they look and feel amazing. They are on my “MUST HAVE” list for fall and for $150 I suggest they are on yours as well.

What is on your must have list for fall that is “Cheap and Chic?”

Boots- Stuart Weitzman “Highland”
Sam Edelman “Kayla”
Steve Madden “Gorgeous”
