Trenchcoat Season

This week was one of the nicest weeks in New York since last Fall with record setting highs and plenty of sunshine. I was so happy to ditch my heavier coats for something lighter. I snagged this trenchcoat in a petite size after a lot of stalking and ...

Making The Transition To Spring

I had almost made it through all of winter without wearing this duster coat that I had picked up last year. Too light to wear in the thick of winter and too heavy to wear when spring actually starts peeping it's head out there's only a small window w ...

Wishing For Spring

In anticipation of the sun coming out and the rise in temperatures, I’ve started looking ahead to some of the things I know I have coming up and need dresses for. I lost myself on the Shopbop site one night and fell in love with this little blue do ...

A Touch Of Plaid

I feel like New York has rubbed off on me in so many little ways – I walk way faster than I ever have in my little legged life, I don't even remember what cooking is like, and I find myself shopping less because I just don't have as much room in ...

Winter Weekend Casual

This past weekend was beautiful. I almost forgot that it snowed last week when I came back into the city on Saturday afternoon. The snow had melted and you really only needed a coat and a long-sleeve shirt. Oh, what a joyful hiatus it was.

Drape Front Jacket

I have to admit, my winter rotation is getting a bit stale. Sweaters, jeans, boots, repeat. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about! Getting dressed up is trickier in the winter and let's be honest.. there's not a ton of motivation. Every ...

Blanket Scarf Season

I have a weird habit where when I check the weather, I always look at the 15 day forecast. I don't know what it is but it's like I have to know if the temperatures are going to rise or fall or if it's "bundle up for the next 15 and then some." Aft ...

How To Find The Perfect Flares

I've been on a pretty heavy skinny jean kick for ... oh, I'd say about 4-5 years now. By kick, I really mean that I've kicked everything else out and that's all that remains. (No but really, I cleaned out my closet this weekend and it's true–skinni ...

Nothing New

This holiday season I promised myself I’d try to spend less on buying new outfits and more on presents for people that I love, trips that I have coming up next year, and helping other people. I’ve challenged myself to come up with some new looks ...

Holiday Happiness

As much as I tried to get ahead of my holiday shopping this year, inevitably I always end up needing a gift or two when I head home. I picked up a few gifts from the Union Square holiday market this year and always love bringing something back to Tex ...

Slate Blue

There's something about December and this time of year that tends to bring out different color cravings for me. Something in the (well, not so wintery) air beckons cooler tones and subdued statements. While I've kept my recent outfits relatively simp ...

How I Like My Coffee

My pet peeve with myself in the coming months is that I tend to wear the same color combinations over and over again. I get sick of my closet (and myself for not diversifying) so quickly by wearing them all out. My other fall challenge this year was ...

That Something Extra

Sometimes it's a necklace, sometimes it's a handbag, but in this case that little something extra is this pair of boots. Like every good pair of shoes, they have a great story. These are no different! One of my friends works for the Net-A-Porter g ...

Turning Over A New Leaf

Growing up, I never really needed a ton of cold weather staples. You really just needed one coat, a few sweaters and a North Face jacket and you were good to go. After all, winter in Texas is really over in the blink of an eye – and summer clothes ...
