I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! I don't know about you but I sure did enjoy an extra day to sleep in and do some things on our new house. We finally got around to getting our night stands (added a little DIY touch...more coming soon), hung some curtains and bought some new items for decorating. Nothing big, just things we needed to get done!
Over the weekend I wore this feather print tunic, new boyfriend jeans and (the best) leather tote for a long brunch followed by errands. Side note: I was so scared to try boyfriend jeans (especially because I ordered these online-sized down!) but once I got past the fact that yes, they are more "relaxed", I quickly grew to love them. A fun tunic paired with good denim is my kind of weekend wear.

I'm a sucker for a silk blouse. It's the most versatile thing I own and in my opinion, something every gal needs to have on hand. Recently I was introduced to Bradamant, a brand that makes silk tops a little differently. You see, this is actually a body suit that I am wearing. You read that right, a body suit! When I first heard about Bradamant, I was totally impressed. Not only is their suit totally practical, but it's so easy to wear. I love not having to worry about shirt lines or wrinkles through out the day.
Many of you ask about my professional wardrobe and this would definitely be a look I would sport to school. It's comfortable and lets me move easily. I would swap the pink pumps for some cute leopard flats.

Hi everyone! I'm sure some of you of getting ready for back to school, and some of you are thinking "thank goodness I'm done with that!". Either way- we can always use some new clothes. These are a few items that particularly stood out to me as casual basics for fall. The scarf is a little bright, but I loved the colors with the navy and tan accents. As always, feel free to email or comment with any questions! Happy Shopping!

If there's one thing you can count on in Texas, it's the extreme heat (ok and the humidity). Two things that do not pair well with hair. Due to the unfortunate heat, I've been really inspired to find pretty hairstyles that help minimize frizz and are relatively low maintenance.
I was super excited to try out the new Pantene Stylers Collection. I have a weakness for hair products (you guys know this) so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Blow Out Extend Dry Shampoo and Flexible Hold Hair Spray. I used these products to create three different hairstyles to help beat the heat. To top it off, I styled each look with some BaubleBar jewelry to add a little sparkle.

Equipment has grown to be one of my go to brands for silk basics. I've always heard people rave about The Slim Signature Silk Blouse and I had no idea how good it was until I tried it on my own. The price tag can be a little daunting but once you see for yourself you will quickly realize how great they are. The fit and quality are just a couple reasons why I choose Equipment as my silk blouse of choice.
I picked this fun print up at St. Bernard Sports last week. I loved the print and knew the color would transition well into Fall. I wore it with some white pants to keep the look light and summery but I plan to switch out the white and pair this blouse with some black denim and Tory flats for Fall.

I've always appreciated a Summery top, especially when it involves crochet detailing. There's just something about lacy tunic that makes me think of Summer. I wore this this little crochet top last week to dinner and it was the perfect solution to these hot temperatures we've been having in Dallas. I am all about light and airy fabrics when its 100 outside! I kept the jewelry pretty minimal and just layered a few Gorjana necklaces and added a pop with this painted bangle by Stacy Brown Designs.

One of my favorite weekend traditions is brunch. It's something my husband and I started doing when we got married, and it has now become a weekend ritual. This past weekend we went to one of our favorite spots in Dallas, The Bishop Arts District and had an amazing brunch at Oddfellows (huge wait so go early). The weather was surprisingly cool so I threw on this boho tunic (or dress if you size up), skinny jeans, and my trustworthy nude pumps. The perfect combo in my opinion!
Wearing: Chic Wish Boho Love Ethereal Dress c/o (FIT: This is actually intended to be a dress, but the small was a little short on me (5 '6) I loved how it looked as a tunic though! If you want it as a dress I suggest size up for length) | Rag and Bone Zip Detail Skinny Jeans (FIT: R&B jeans run small, so I would go one size up from your normal size) | Charles David Pact Pump in Nude | Leather Crossbody (on sale!) | Wanderlust Double XL Spike Cuff in
