Jumpsuit: Cloth & Stone // Shoes: Kate Spade 

It might be February, but spring is already here in Dallas. This weekend temperatures were in the 60s and 70s, which made for a perfect day to explore downtown. I spent most of my time at the Dallas Museum of Art, because they currently have a Jackson Pollock exhibit (through March 20th), before making my way across the street to Klyde Warren Park. Jackson Pollock is one of my favorite American artists, and while I have seen many of his pieces at the Crystal Bridges Museum, I enjoyed seeing more of his earlier work at the DMA. The sunny skies allowed me to finally wear this black jumpsuit without a coat, and I even pulled out my new open toed shoes. This Cloth & Stone black jumpsuit is so comfortable, the fabric is soft and breaths well in the heat. I am wearing an extra small, which gives a cropped length to the legs but fits well at my waist. The jumpsuit comes in both black and olive green (super cute as well) and is on sale right now at Anthropologie! The nude sandals from Kate Spade are also on sale right now and come in black as well. I know how hard it is to fit jumpsuits, so I picked my favorites for you to shop below! xoxo

Last night Mel (My Everyday Lifestyle) and I had the best time at the annual Toni & Guy creative release and photographic awards. Every year Toni & Guy host their awards here in Dallas, where they honor the incredable work of their students and stylists. We enjoyed meeting stylists from all over the country and were in awe of the amazing photography they submitted for the awards. I still can’t get over the production of the show and the inspiring hair and makeup using Toni & Guy and TIGI products!

Thank you to the Toni & Guy marketing team for including us in such a special night. xoxo

Black and white have always been my two favorite colors, so naturally I have been on the hunt for a pair of casual black jeans. I have probably tried on a million pairs and styles of black jeans, some with zippers or unique stitching, some cropped, some long, some skinny, some flared, but I ended up loving this pair from Gap. I love the high waisted fit and skinny legs, especially in the flattering black wash. The distressed knees gives these black jeans a subtle casual look, but can still be easily dressed up with the right top and shoes. I dressed these casual black jeans up with a basic white blouse, tucked in the front to show off the high waist and skinny fit, and my favorite pair of black and white pumps. These jeans fit true to size in the waist, but the inseam runs longer, so alterations might need to be made for length. They are also made with a thicker denim that does not allow as much stretch as some thinner denim material. Check gap.com to see their latest denim promotion!  xoxo

Dress: y&i // Shoes: ASOS // Bangle: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs

If you have not been to y&i in West Village, you are seriously missing out! They have a great selection of dresses, rompers and tops for any occasion. I guess I have a thing for green and white, because when I saw this emerald dress, I knew it would go perfectly with my white slingbacks from ASOS. When I ordered these white slingback from ASOS, I got them to go with my palm print dress and thought that I wouldn’t wear them much otherwise. I was so wrong, I am now obsessed with these slingbacks and wear them all the time!

From all the dresses in y&i this emerald dress stood out to me because of the unique cut. The tight top of this dress has a fun cutout that does not make the dress difficult to wear, and the A-line bottom gives structure to the dress. Not only is the emerald color great for spring and summer, but can easily be transitioned into a fall staple with a beautiful white or beige coat (like this one). Shop this emerald dress and the rest of the beautiful dresses at y&i online or in West Village.  xoxo

This weekend was the Dallas Blogger Collective’s first birthday and we spent the day celebrating at Rio Ritz Boutique. I finally learned how to make those adorable floral crowns with Kelley of The Style Barn and enjoyed shopping the new arrivals at Rio Ritz. Kelley has the best 1970s style, and she finally convinced me to give bell bottom jeans a try for the first time since middle school. I found these Pilcro Superscript Flare Jeans on sale at Anthropologie and they were the perfect fit. Paired with wedges and a silk front tie blouse, these jeans are a flattering flashback to the 70s. xoxo
