This past weekend I took a quick trip to New York City for Create & Cultivate (don’t worry a full NYC post is coming soon). I decided to pull out this strapless jumpsuit for dinner at Zuma, which is an incredible Japanese restaurant at Madison and 38th. I found this black strapless jumpsuit at Nordstrom for less than $100 and could not pass up such a versatile piece. It fits true to size (wearing a small) and is cut to fit loose though the hips. The pant length is just about perfect on me, so if you are shorter than 5’6″ you will most likely need to hem the legs. Since it was significantly colder in New York City than Dallas, I paired the jumpsuit with a Rebecca Minkoff white leather jacket (similar) and channeled my inner Sloan Peterson with some fringe. To complete the black and white look, I added Prada cap toe pumps (similar) and a black Rebecca Minkoff envelope clutch. This envelope clutch is the perfect size and comes in wide variety of colors and patterns. I have linked this strapless jumpsuit and some great fringe jackets below! xoxo

This past week, I celebrated my 23rd birthday, and my grandmother hosted one of her famous birthday lunches. I decided to bring out my pearls for the occasion, as well as this adorable white lace skirt I found on sale at J.Crew. I paired it with a classic black Equipment blouse (one of the most useful things in my closet) and my black and white Prada pumps. The white lace skirt fits true to size (wearing 00) and is fitted at the waist, but flares so that it is easy to move in. Shop this white lace skirt and my favorite pearls 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
