Happy Friday, friends!

 

I’m so excited for Summer to be approaching this year– sweaters and leggings do not sound fun with a growing belly!  Today I’m sharing my go-to little white dress with you.  A girl can never have too many white dresses, right?

 

I’m loving the deep cut on this Wayf dress because it really brings it to the next level by dressing it up.  The soft details on the fabric makes it feminine and flirty, too.  I added these Jeffrey Campbell lace-ups that I’m currently loving, especially in this soft grey color.

 

Hope everyone has a fab weekend!  x

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a great pair of skinny jeans.  Despite all buzz about boyfriends and flares– skinnies are still an easy go-to.  One thing I love about skinny jeans is how universal they can be.  You can easily dress them up for a night out on the town with stilettos and silk top, or opt for a more causal look with gladiator flats and a linen button down- perfect for brunch with the girls.  You can find a few of my favorite skinny tips below.

 

harmony & havoc

 

  1. A little stretch adds a lot of comfort.
  2. Be a little daring and try the ankle crop trend- it’s universally flattering for everyone.
  3. Go for an authentic and timeless wash to get the most wear out of your skinnies.

With Spring here and Summer already on my mind, it’s no surprise that I’ve been living in dresses that have a lighter, beachy feel to them.

 

One designer that does just that is Isabel Marant, and I’m loving her more casual Etoile line.  With my belly on-growing, I find I’ve been investing in pieces that I’ll be able to wear throughout these next 4 months.  This feminine, embroidered dress is a piece that I’ll be able to wear during and after pregnancy.  I’m also here to admit that I’ve had a tassel necklace problem for a couple of years now- and how cute is this steal from Anthropologie?  I completed my look with my go-to Celine Tote and Jeffrey Campbell peep toe booties.  Now if only the sun would come back out in Texas!

 

Hope you all had a fab weekend and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Lulu’s Shift Dress | Francesca’s Suede Fringe Cross-body | Jeffrey Campbell Peep Toe Bootie | Wrap Bracelets here and here | Oliver Peoples Polarized Sunglasses


Hi friends!

 

First off, I know I’ve been MIA this past month… If you noticed my baby announcement post a few weeks ago you’ll realize that these first few months haven’t been too fun for me!  That said, at 17 weeks along I’m finally starting to feel a lot better.  So it’s catch-up time for me and what perfect timing– SPRING is here!

 

Today I’m sharing this adorable, bohemian inspired embroided shift dress.  White has been all the rage this Spring, and I’m loving the carefree, easy look of this dress from Lulu’s.  I’ve paired it with my current go-to Jeffrey Campbell peep toe booties (see previous post for a closer look), and this suede cross-body bag from Francesca’s.  Easy, versatile and Spring-friendly.

 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Jeffrey Campbell Suede Peep Toe Lace-Ups


Hi, friends!  I’m kicking off the weekend right with these Jeffrey Campbell Suede Peep Toe lace-ups!  One thing I’m loving as Spring rolls around are caged heels and ghillies with corset-style laces.  I’m linking below some additional styles I’m currently crushing on.  Lace-up heels are this season’s hottest trend and you’ll definitely stand out in these strappy styles!

Happy Monday, dears!

 

When you think plaid, you probably think casual + street style.  Well, today I’m showing you how to play plaid up by dressing it up.  You’d be surprised at how versatile plaid can be.  Here, I’m wearing a contemporary plaid print dress by BB Dakota (no longer available).  My favorite thing about this dress are the barrel cutoff sleeves that add a modern edge to this feminine look.  You can also play up a flannel by styling it with a pencil or fit and flare skirt, and adding some bling accessories to glam it up (see previous post Plaid for more ideas).  Don’t be afraid to dress up the plaid in your life– when paired with quality pieces, you can create a look with a lot of dimension.

Hi, friends!  It’s been a few weeks!  Between traveling and catching a cold, January made for a pretty crazy month!

 

Today I wanted to share with you an amazing company that spreads love by giving back.  A little about these philanthropic artisans:  INKMADE designs a fashion-forward line using textiles inspired by historical + modern architectural elements from around the world.  Even more inspiring – a portion of the company’s proceeds go towards funding health and education facilities throughout Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Karachi.  Please do yourself a favor and read more about this awesome company here.

 

My look:  I’m swooning over this black and white geometric scarf.  I can literally pair it with anything and the fabric (70% modal, 30% silk) makes it a fashionable, year-round accessory.  I’m wearing a wide-leg jumpsuit from Nordstrom and Jeffrey Campbell wedges.  I cannot wait to accessorize with this scarf and incorporate it into more looks.

Giving back is always in style!

The holidays are officially over and I’m kind of sad about it!  I hope everyone got showered with love from their families and loved ones during this holiday season.  We typically stay in town during the holidays, so we have it easy compared to those that have to fight the airport.  So many of our friends seem to travel!!  I’m grateful to have most of my family within a 3 hour driving distance.  🙂

 

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite fashion secrets this month.  Have a guess at what it could be?  Two words:  Winter sales!  Now is the time to stock up on those designer knits you’ve been eyeing but can’t seem to justify in December (because who can, when you’re shopping for everyone else!).  One must-have piece is a really great sweater dress.  Everyone needs one of these festive pieces, and January is the best time to stock up on ’em.  From up to 60% off styles at Nordstrom and up to 50% off at Banana Republic, you can find a winter sale just about everywhere right now.  Another sale that takes place early January– boots!  So kick back and let me share some holiday steals with you!
