In anticipation for Spring, I couldn't resist a bright floral dress, white blazer, and a great leather bag. I have been looking for a duffle/crossbody for quite a while. And when I came across Kelly Wynne Handbags, I knew I found the right one. The "I Duffle Dare You" bag was just what I was looking for. The navy embossed leather was a a fun spin on a traditional leather bag and I love that it can be worn in more than one way, as seen here.
Her collection of bags is nothing less than fabulous. Not only are her bags 100% leather, but everything is made in the USA. What bags are you feeling this season? I would love to hear your feedback! Please check out Kelly's new collection and let me know some of your favorite bags and colors! I am loving the Mingle Mingle Mini and the Risky Biz Wristlet... What are some of your favorites?
Spring Neutrals
It's official. Spring is here...finally! While it may not feel like Spring in some parts, Dallas is definitely feeling the warmer temps. When the weather heats up, I always reach for lighter colors, like pastels or neutrals. Typically all the bright or pastel colors are popular for Spring, but this year the runways have been filled with creams, blushes, and golds. I love the simple and subdued color palette. I’m a neutralist at heart, so this outfit is going to get a lot of love this season. It just feels so fresh.
When wearing neutrals, I always try to incorporate some type of color in my look. Whether bold or simple, it's an easy way to give your look a pop of color. Ell and Emm's jewelry caught my eye and I couldn't resist these Evil Eye Double Wrap bracelets. They are the perfect amount of edge and give just the right amount of color.
What looks are you excited for this Spring? Do you go for brighter colors or are you loving the shades of neutrals?
Boots With The Fur
With Spring quickly approaching, I am really wanting to reach for brighter colors. But there is something I love about the look of black. Last Saturday, we were in NYC and the weather was gorgeous. I was pretty excited to ditch the coat considering days before it was in the teens! This weather called for my favorite Equipment Blouse (told you they are addicting) and this faux fur vest from Nordstrom. It was the perfect get-up for running around town and of course brunching at Sarabeth's.
Wearing: Equipment Signature Slim Blouse // Lark Tiered Tassel Vest (runs big) // J Crew Denim (old, similar, similar) // Dolce Vita Over the Knee Boots (old, similar) // Celine Luggage Tote (similar) // Love Always Couture Rings (monogrammed, evil eye) c/o // Karen Walker
A Good Idea
We're off to NYC today! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am. I’m looking forward to walks along Central Park, macaroons from Magnolia Bakery, and of course some 5th avenue shopping (to name just a few things). While Boston was a blast, I am excited to be back in New York. Austin has never been to NYC, so I hope to show him all the hot spots and see some new things as well.
If you have any places for eats or treats, please let us know! We are always looking for new suggestions!

Camel + Black
Hello from Boston! Austin and I arrived here yesterday and we are enjoying every second. This city is absolutely beautiful and the weather could not be better. I was pretty nervous with all the talk about the cold front moving in (I know, it's still coming) but it's actually been really nice.
Since my clothing was limited to what could fit in my suitcase, I knew I had to trust the basics and stick with my camel belted coat (similar) and black wool scarf (similar). Not only do I love the color combo, but I love this classic look. I also layered up on some of my favorite bracelets by Love Always Couture and Lola James Jewelry. Today, we plan to hit up our favorite coffee spot, walk the harbor, and visit some of our favorite bakeries. To see more of our trip be sure to follow along via Instagram!
Spring Jackets
One of my favorite parts about Spring, is the soft neutrals and pastel colors. Since it's still chilly in Dallas (hello, there is ice on the ground) these Spring inspired jackets are a must. I picked this Teal Woven Moto Jacket up from Zara last Spring, and it has since been a closet favorite. While the nights are still a little chilly, it makes the perfect transition piece as we move to Spring. River Island makes this great pink version (love the detail) and of course you can't go wrong with Tory Burch.
When wearing a bold print, I like to keep everything else pretty simple. Nude pumps, neutral graphic tee, and delicate jewelry. This Double Trouble Necklace from Oia Jules, is the perfect amount of delicate and edge. I am such a fan of dainty, gold jewelry and Oia Jules doesn't disappoint!
Spring Favorites | Kendra Scott
Kendra Scott is one of my favorite designers for many reasons. Her down to earth demeanor and her amazing work ethic are just a few to mention. I had a chance to meet Kendra a few months ago (here) and she was truly just as sweet as you would have hoped.
Not only is Kendra super successful, but she also has a huge heart for giving back to the community. In light of tomorrow's Kendra Gives Back event (hope you can make it!) I have pulled some of my favorite spring favorites from her newest collection. These neon stones are so hot right now, but if neon isn't your thing, she has some beautiful neutrals. Either way, you can't go wrong!

Silver Letters
Monogrammed jewelry is something we are seeing everywhere. Whether it's a necklace or ring, it's the hot thing right now. Groopdealz has this silver initial necklace on sale today only. It's a different take on the "script" trend but I love the simple block lettering. I have a gold version similar to this necklace and it is something I never take off. I wear it alone or layer it up with other necklaces...it's a classic! To get yours, check out Groopdealz. You won't regret it.

Shopping Is My Cardio
It's probably not a surprise to you that I like to shop. I mean, what girl doesn't? This shirt caught my eye immediately and I thought it was perfect not only to wear as a cute top with jeans, but also for a work out. I can't really "run run" like my sis in law, Megan.
My newest obsession has been Pure Barre. You may have seen me post about it here. I love it because it's actually something I can do. I've joined gyms in the past and (unfortunately) wasted my money, but this is something I actually look forward to. The class is an hour of intense, small movement exercises focusing on strength and core. Who knew that lifting three pound weights in small one inch lifts could actually do something? Stay tuned for more information on Pure Barre and how you can get involved! Until then, this top is from Jane, I also have some similar options below. XX

Black Hearts
This past weekend we took a little road trip and traveled to Houston for a friends wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and we has such a fun time. Before the wedding, we went over to Rive Village. Austin and I enjoyed walking around the shops and eating at Black Walnut Cafe (ah-mazing food). Thanks to those who gave us suggestions via insta...love hearing from you guys and totally value your opinion!
If you follow me on Instagram, you are probably sick of me posting this shirt, but honestly it's been my favorite purchase recently! I know Equipment blouses aren't cheap, but they are totally worth the investment. Do you own any? I am thinking of adding another one to my wardrobe...probably a neutral. No surprise there. Hope you have a great start to your week! XX
