Today I wanted to share with you a big sale going on at Nordstrom. I know, sales can be overwhelming, but I'm here to help you find the best of the best without the hassle of digging through the racks and searching the entire site for that perfect jacket or sweater.
Some of my personal favorites include this Fringed Sweater Vest (as seen in the image above, full post here) and button down tunic. My mom picked up this bag yesterday in grey and I am in love. You can tuck in the straps to make it a clutch, or a shoulder bag by adjusting the length. I also have my eye on these strappy flats. I had a similar pair from Forever 21 and wore them so much they broke. I'm ready to get a nicer pair and have heard great things about these!
Happy shopping and thanks for reading! xx ...

Grey Neutrals
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones! I wanted to share a casual look I wore last week (when it was 65 degrees). As you know, I love cardigans and this one (on sale) is no exception.
Not only is the material super soft, but I also love the belt option. It's fun and adds something extra to your look. I can see me sporting this look to brunch on the weekend, to the airport for a comfy travel look or out and about on the weekend. Be sure to grab one in a neutral if you're looking for clothing that will transition well into spring!
PS: If you're looking for some New Year's Eve hair and makeup ideas, be sure to check out this braided updo or this curled ponytail.
Thanks for stopping by! xx
NYE Prep
With NYE a few days away, I wanted to share some of my favorite accessories and party looks perfect for your special night. As you know, my style is more minimal, however on NYE, I like to have fun with my outfit. Sequins, faux fur and fringe are just a few of the ways I like to make my outfit interesting and festive.
This year, our friends from church are hosting a New Years Eve Party. I have no idea what I will wear, but I do know that I want to be somewhat comfortable since it's a long night (I'm not much of a night owl but I'll try my best!). I am thinking about wearing a sequined top with black pants or these sequined leggings with this white blouse.
Hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your weekend! xx

On The Go With Carbon 38
Like many of you, I am very excited that the athleisure trend is in full force. Who doesn’t love comfortable, stylish clothes that look and feel good? And while my husband and I strive to live a healthy lifestyle, there's nothing like new gear to get me motivated to hit the gym (or Pure Barre).
Carbon 38 continues to impress me with their collection of activewear. Each piece is made to withstand your activity of choice but also is versatile enough to wear beyond the gym. Here, I swapped my tennis shoes for these studded boots and kept the look edgy by throwing on this quilted jacket and knit scarf. It was perfect solution for a busy Saturday on the go.

Holiday Fun in Dallas
Hi everyone! As promised, here is a list of my favorite things to do in Dallas during the holiday season. I love living in the area and always feel like a tourist in my own city during Christmas. There is just so much to do!
Enjoy!! xx
1. Highland Park Village This has always been one of my favorite spots in Dallas. During the holidays they have every tree lit up with beautiful white lights. It’s so gorgeous! Each year, Austin and I have our “Christmas Date” here. The night consists of dinner at Mi Cocina followed by a coffee at Starbucks or Royal Blue Grocery (new coffee shop). Then, we drive through the neighborhoods to look at all the Christmas lights and listen to Christmas music. It's one of my very favorite traditions!
2. The Carriage Rides at Highland Park Village While you’re in Dallas, why not ride in a horse drawn carriage through the neighborhoods of Highland Park. Sit back and sip on some hot cocoa as you look at all the lights and homes decorated for the holidays! My family has done this before and it was so much fun. Be sure to make a reservation, they book up fast!
3. The Trains at Northpark This is geared towards the little ones but one ...
Black and White Layers
When it comes to style, I tend to be more simplistic and minimal. While I love to take part in the trends and wear the occasional statement piece, I feel most comfortable in basics.
I like to look for items that can be worn with a variety of pieces in my wardrobe and this Black Maxi Cardigan (now on sale) is one of those staples. I've worn this sweater so many times over the past couple of weeks (it's a little embarrassing) but it just goes to show how it's one of those quality pieces that will last. I don't own a lot of maxi cardigans, but after this one, I may add a few more in my closet.
Thanks so much for reading! xx

The Holiday Collection | For the Home
With our home "refresh" on the brain, I figured I would make my last Gift Guide feature some of my favorite things for the home. We had these leopard x stools made a few months ago from Liven Up Design and we have been so impressed with the quality and detailing! I can't wait to show you how we styled them when our home tour goes live in January. They were exactly what we were looking for!
I also love coffee table books. Over the years, I've collected an assortment of photography, travel and fashion books to use as decorative pieces throughout the house. Each year, I always ask for a couple at Christmas. This year, I'm asking for this one by Kate Spade. If you love to travel, I recently took a peak inside St. Barths and the pictures (as well as the cover) are gorgeous. I also just purchased this one for Austin's office.
Have you guys finished all of your shopping? I still have a few people to buy for, but I am almost done! Some of you asked if I was going to post my guide for holiday events in Dallas. I am planning to share that tomorrow but here is a look at my post ...
The Black Jumpsuit
The black jumpsuit has been the perfect alternative to a little black dress for the past several years and is still a popular option for most. Whether you're heading to a holiday dinner party or a NYE Bash, consider the ease of the black jumpsuit in leu of your typical cocktail dress.
I love this black jumpsuit from Charming Charlie. The piece offers an instant outfit, and you can easily dress it up or down depending on the occasion. Accented with a pair of pointy-toe heels or a long necklace, these one-pieces make a dramatic statement and elongate your figure. Not to mention, it's very comfortable!
