Coral Lip | Muted Pink | Pop of Pink | Nude Lip
Despite my growing collection of lipsticks, I've made it my mission to find my signature lip color-- or colors for that matter. You know, the colors you can wear every day and feel instantly glamorous. After looking at my collection, it's evident I only wear pinks and nudes. I've tried reds and bolder shades, but they just aren't practical for everyday. At least for me anyway! These four colors are my absolute favorite that I wear all the time. I chose these because they are the ones that seem to last for hours and they don't dry my lips out. The gloss doesn't have as much staying power as the lipsticks, but it's still a great color to have on hand. These shade are also easy to mix. For instance, Vanilla Suede looks great with Pink Poodle. It makes a glossy, nude/pink that I just love. Just remember, the key to rocking a lip color is finding the right shade for your skin tone, and after that, it’s all about how you wear it. (It’s all about confidence!)
What is your go to shade? I would love to hear about it!

Holiday Events in Dallas
I love living in Dallas. I've lived here since I was 12, and each year, more and more opportunities come to Dallas to make this city even more exciting. I know a lot of you live in the area, and some of you have emailed me saying you were traveling here for the holidays. I always get asked about dining, shopping, and entertainment so I figured I'd share some of my favorite places to go while in the city for the holidays. Most of these are family friendly so feel free to bring on the kids! Happy Holidays! xx
1. Highland Park Village This has always been one of my favorite spots in Dallas. During the holidays they have every tree (more like branch) lit up with beautiful white lights. It's so gorgeous! Each year, Austin and I have our "Christmas Date" here and we hit up Mi Cocina, Starbucks then drive through the neighborhoods to look at lights and jam to Christmas tunes. While I visit the village often, this is probably my favorite date that we have and I look forward to it every year. The shopping is pretty fabulous too!
2. The Carriage Rides at Highland Park Village While you're in Dallas, why not take a festive horse drawn carriage to take you 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 ...
Holiday Sweater
Hello, Monday! Over the weekend, Austin and I took part in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Have any of you been last minute shopping? While, fighting mall traffic is not ideal, it's all part of the experience. We had a few last minute gifts to pick up and it's the only time I can get Austin to the mall so I was not about to complain. I really do love getting out this time of year, even if it is just a few days before Christmas. Everything is so festive and the decorations are gorgeous! I am going to be posting a Dallas holiday guide soon, so be sure to check back tonight as I share my favorite things to do in the Dallas metroplex for the holidays.
This Red Sweater from Chicwish is the perfect look for the holidays. I love the fit and color. I threw on this plaid scarf (only $28) with my over the knee boots (my favorite pair, sold out in tan only black available) to give the look a more festive vibe. I am also loving this version in green!

Gift Guide | Last Minute Shopper
Christmas is almost here, but it's not too late to buy those gifts for your loved ones. Have no shame, I know I am not the only one who isn't done with all my holiday shopping. Above I have some gifts from my top favorite retailers that promise to delivery before Christmas if you order by tomorrow, (Tuesday 12/16) and most with free shipping. Better yet, all of these are under $100, and most under $50.
My top gifts include the Urban Decay Naked on the Run Pallet. I actually purchased this when it released December 1st and have loved using it. Usually I don't like "pallets" but this one is practical and I use every part of it. J Crew is having 30% off and you can grab this Dazzling Sweater for a great price and just in time for Christmas. And last but not least, this Gold Drip Mug (only $7) is adorable and makes me want to order a whole set. Here's to getting that last minute shopping done! XX ...
Gift Guide | $25 & Under

With holiday parties and gift exchanges just around the corner, I wanted to share with you guys the perfect gift guide for budgets $25 & under! My teacher friends and I just drew names for "secret santa" and I couldn't help but start researching gifts around 25 bucks. Some of these are just too cute to pass up! Like these little bear slippers? Ah, I might just have to grab a pair for myself since they are less than $10. I also love any of the Kate Spade desk accessories. Even though I am constantly around "school supplies", I never grow tired of seeing adorable bow paperclips. Blanket scarves are a huge trend this season and I found the best all under $25. What girl wouldn't want a festive scarf?
If your local to Dallas, a gift card to Bellacures might just be the perfect gift! I've been there a few times and it seriously is the best gel mani, I have ever received! For a limited time, they are offering a free moisture rich add on for any nail service of $20 or more. Use code MR10 at your next visit. This is good through December 31, ...
Holiday Plaid
Everyone needs that holiday top they can wear from season to season. For me, I can always go to my trustworthy plaid button down. I love the classic red and tan combo, but I couldn't pass up this green version. It just seemed to festive (without being overdone) to pass up. I love that I can wear it tucked in the front or untucked for a "tunic" look. This top will be worn many times throughout winter and I can't wait to pair it with this faux fur vest. How do you style plaid?

Black Friday Shopping Guide
Black Friday is here and you know what that means, sales! Not just any sale, the sale of all sales! And while stores love to play up the "early bird special", I prefer the "shop online in my pj's" way. I have learned (the hard way) that it's never worth fighting the crowds. It hilarious that I actually thought it could be an enjoyable experience! You shouldn't have to go through that just to save a few bucks. So grab your coffee, sit back, and stay awhile. I have listed a few of my favorite sales from my favorite retailers below. Happy Shopping! xx

The Holiday Skirt
Ever since getting the Nora Skirt from Corilynn, I couldn't wait to wear it. Nothing makes me feel more girly than a classic fitting skirt and a great pair of pumps. This was the perfect look for dinner during our staycation at The Joule.
I am new to the brand Corilynn, but after reading up on this amazing company, it was easy to see why they are so popular. Not only do they have beautiful clothing, but it's made incredibly well. Each piece is dreamed, designed, and stitched right here in the USA. I have my eye The Audrey Skirt (love that navy!) and this blouse!

Gift Guide | $50 and Under
How fun are these little gifts? With the holidays just a few weeks away, I couldn't help but think of gifts for my girlfriends, co workers, and Secret Santa's. There are so many great gifts out there It was actually pretty hard narrowing it down to just 12. If you are looking for a perfect gift for your coworker or secret santa, I have to say these coffee mugs by Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do are perfect. I actually own both of those and love taking them to work! This plaid scarf is only 11 bucks. Can you believe that? I have seen it in person and it was just as gorgeous! Happy gift giving! xx ...
