White Bomber

Even though it has been 90 degrees everyday this week in Dallas, my mind is someplace cooler. I am planning a trip someplace far north of Dallas for the middle of July, and I have started stocking up on casual layers. I found some great pieces on sale, but my favorite is this white bomber jacket from Anthropologie. It is currently on sale for less than $50 (total steal!) and comes in four bright colors. Of course I went for the white bomber, but I love the navy color as well. It fits true to size (I am wearing a small), and it is lightweight enough for spring and summer (well probably not in Texas). I paired the bomber with my favorite tee from Urban Outfitters (wearing a small, it fits loose) and distressed black jeans from J.Crew. These jeans are so comfortable to wear because they stretch well. I also love the cropped and high-waisted fit (wearing size 26 regular). My only complaint about the black jeans is they will pick up lint easily, and I have to ask for a black napkin in restaurants. These jeans also come in white (perfect for summer), and lint does not seem to be as big of an issue on them. My upcoming trip will probably involve quite a bit of walking, so I have been on the hunt for some fun but comfortable shoes. I love the look of platform sneakers, but found that most caused blisters or are just not comfortable. These Dolce Vita sneakers were by far the most comfortable pair I tried on, and they are on sale for less than $100! They come in three colors, but if you have seen any of my athletic shoes, you know I only own white sneakers. These sneakers fit true to size (wearing an 8), and the canvas material is easy to keep clean with a Tide To Go stick which I always carry with me. Shop the entire look below! xoxo

Cactus Scarf

Tee: Urban Outfitters // Jeans: Gap // Scarf: Sole Society // Shoes: Marc Fisher // Sunnies: J.Crew

I am all about silk neck scarves, especially when I find a cactus scarf! This light pink and green cactus scarf is from Sole Society and is less than $35. It is the perfect addition to any simple outfit and is great if you love cactus themed things as much as me. I like to pair it with a black dress and denim jacket or a white tee and dark jeans (shown above). If you haven’t noticed this Urban Outfitters tee is my favorite! I own it in seven different colors (whoops) and I wear it multiple times a week. I also love these Marc Fisher flatform shoes, they come in five different colors and are just as easy to walk in as wedges. Shop my favorite tee, flatforms and cactus scarf below! xoxo

Distressed Black Jeans

I love a good pair of distressed black jeans, and the pair I have been wearing the past year (from Gap) finally wore out. I own two other pairs of jeans from J.Crew in the lookout high-rise cut and love the fit, so it was an easy purchase when I saw these distressed black jeans in that same cut. They fit well in the waist and have an ankle cut length. I typically wear a 25 in the lookout high-rise cut, but this particular pair seems to fit smaller than my denim and white wash jeans, so I went up to a 26 for comfort. These jeans can be dressed up or down with ease, but for dinner I gave it a casual look with the most comfortable tee and pair of mules. I have linked this look as well as the denim and white wash lookout high-rise jeans below! xoxo

Metallic Tweed Jacket

Jacket: J.Crew // Shirt: Urban Outfitters // Jeans: J.Crew // Pumps: Charles David (similar)

I love tweed and I love structured jackets, so when I saw this metallic tweed jacket at J.Crew, it was literally calling my name! The metallic silver and white color is perfect for winter and the transition into spring. I also love the fact that this jacket is fully lined, so I can wear a tank or short sleeve top (like this one pictured above) under it without the tweed being itchy. The jacket is a little short all around, so I ended up buying a size 2 and it fits perfectly. The black zipper and fringe detail gives great contrast, to make this jacket more of a statement piece. I chose to pair the jacket with my favorite high waisted jeans, a comfortable black tee and basic black pumps for a more casual look. If you want to dress this jacket up, it will go nicely with a black shift dress, or the matching a-line dress from J.Crew. You can find this jacket at Nordstrom or J.Crew, but it is currently on sale at J.Crew only (take an extra 40% off until January 30th with code: GETSHOPPING)! xoxo

Dallas

Shake Shack Dallas

Top: Urban Outfitters // Leggings: LuLu Lemon // Shoes: Nike // Bralette: Calvin Klein // Sunnies: Karen Walker

Shake Shack opened at the Crescent in Dallas a few weeks ago, and this past weekend I finally had time to stop by! I enjoyed the classic ShackBurger with a chocolate shake, and my photographer had the Link Burger with a raspberry limeade (we shared the fries). I had to steal a delicious bite of the Link Burger, since it is specific to the Dallas location and topped with jalapeño cheese sausage from Pecan Lodge (yum!). Shake Shack is on the corner of Pearl St and McKinney Ave, opposite of Morton’s Steakhouse, and has an extensive patio and lawn to make up for the smaller building. The majority of the lawn (where we sat) has tree coverage which makes the outdoor seating bearable even in 90-100 degree heat. There is also plenty of space for kids to run and a few lawn games. Since indoor seating is limited, I recommend going on a day when you do not mind sitting outside.
When I went to Shake Shack Dallas, I wore one of my go-to outfits for day to day. I am wearing my favorite tee shirt from Urban Outfitters layered with a Calvin Klein bralette, both of which I own in multiple colors. I am wearing size small in the tee, and it fits long and loose enough to half tuck. I do recommend letting this tee air dry because it will shrink in the dryer. I am also wearing these super cute flower motif leggings from LuLu Lemon. I love the high waist fit and the open detail along the back of the legs. I am wearing a size four in these leggings since LuLu Lemon tends to run small, and recommend going a size up. I tied this black and white look together with my white Nikes and oversized Karen Walker sunnies. These lifestyle tennis shoes are perfect for a day exploring town, and have the most comfortable soles. Be sure to check out Shake Shack Dallas and shop my entire look below! xoxo

Olive Pants

Shirt: Urban Outfitters // Pants: J.Crew // Shoes: Kate Spade // Jewelry: Kendra Scott

The constant 100 degree temperatures in Dallas have made it almost impossible to wear jeans or even most pants. This makes dressing for work a little more difficult than usual, so I went on the hunt for pants that were cool enough for the heat. I found these olive pants at J.Crew on sale and they are super light weight and the cropped length is great for the heat. I am wearing a size zero and it fits perfectly in the waist and is loose through the legs. My favorite Urban Outfitters tee goes great theses pants and Kendra Scott cuffs from their fall collection. Shop my look below! xoxo
