BP. Plaid Poncho| Spanx Leggings | RD Style Sweater | Tory Burch Wrap Bracelet  | Madewell Arrow Necklace | Vince Camuto Booties ; Now 40% off!


Only one week left til Christmas… Eek!  I still have so much to do!

 

Today I’m sharing this amazing poncho that’s less than $40!  Seriously, a steal.  I’ll be linking several other reasonable ones as this particular style goes in and out of stock quickly.  I love pairing these with skinny jeans and a great tee, or leggings and a over-sized tunic.  Ponchos give a  more causal look but can go with just about anything.  Another tip: I love throwing this piece in my bag and using it as my own personal blanket when I travel.

Let’s Get Lost Maxi Dress from The Stylish Orchid | Tory Burch Wrap Bracelet | Madewell Cuff Bracelet


 

Good morning, friends!  If you’re a southern girl like me, you’ll understand my rant.  We do not have seasons in Houston!  This means tank tops up until November, cut-offs all year round and maxis in December.  However, you don’t have to be from the south to be able to transform your favorite maxi into a winter look.

 

Today I’m sharing my favorite maxi from The Stylish Orchid.  Seriously, how gorgeous is this sage green during December?  A break from that go-to holiday red (which a happen to love).  During this time of the year it’s all about layering!  In Houston, this wasn’t necessary but I loved pairing this maxi with my go-to Balenciaga moto jacket to make this look practical for cooler temps.  You can also layer up by adding a mid-weight wool sweater over the maxi, creating a skirt-like effect, a light-weight cardigan, or by wrapping up with your favorite scarf and a great pair of OTK boots.  The options are endless.

H&M Flannel Top | BCBG Ingrid Skirt | Chinese Laundry Peep Toe Bootie | Madewell Leather Tote | B.P. Statement Necklace | Kendra Scott Bracelet | Kendra Scott Stud Earrings | Oliver Peoples Sunglasses


Happy December!  I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend.  So many fought the Black Friday sales over the weekend but I myself shopped (probably a bit too much) online via my cozy bed.  If you live in Houston I give you extra props for fighting the crowd AND the rain.  That said, I cannot believe December is already here.  Today I’m sharing how I gave this simple flannel button down a more polished look.  Plaid is extremely versatile– you can dress it up or make it very causal.  I paired this H&M Flannel (several patterns available) with my to-go BCBG Fit & Flare skirt, giving it more of an feminine feel.   This H&M flannel button down is less than $30, and you can now get an additional 20% off by entering code 2020 at checkout.  I completed this look with this B.P. statement necklace (under $30).   Pretty, guilt-free pieces?  Yes, please.

Topshop Cable Knit Sweater | Trouve Tunic | Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots | Oliver Peoples Sunglasses | Kendra Scott Cuff Bracelet


 

Happy Wednesday, darlins’!  Today we experienced a big turning point in Houston… It’s beginning to feel like sweater weather!  I say that lightly because it’s currently in the mid-60s.  Regardless, that gives me the perfect excuse to break out the cozy knits!  I love layering underneath sweaters.  I actually consider this to be a skill here in Texas, since it’s always burning up.  I’m currently wearing this Trouve over-sized boyfriend tunic (any over-sized button-down should work) underneath this Topshop Cable Knit Sweater.  Although, I do love how light this Trouve Poplin button-down is, and it’s currently marked down 40% off.  Who doesn’t need a great crisp white button-down?!  The look is completed by my go-to Stuart Weitzman OTK Highland Boots.  These babies are getting a lot of play this month.  Happy Shopping!  x
