Happy Friday friends!! It never comes soon enough. 🙂  I am quite excited for this weekend because my family and I are celebrating my grandmother’s birthday! Plus, the weather is expected to be absolutely gorgeous, so it should be a great celebration.

I wore this look to a little Galentine’s Happy Hour with my girlfriends a couple weeks back.  I am quite obsessed with this top.  I was so nervous when I ordered it about how it would look in person, but ya’ll it totally lives up to the picture.  It combines to hot trends this season- sheer material and embroidery.  I love that it is a little bit flowy on the bottom while being fitted in the sleeves and shoulder.  I did choose to size up, and I am happy I did.  I am wearing a medium, and it fits perfectly.

This top has a bit more of a pretty feminine feel, so I paired it with my distressed jeans to add a little edge.  I kept my jewelry minimal to not distract from the floral design.  My pink clutch was the perfect pop of color addition to compliment instead of compete with the embroidery.

Ya’ll have a great weekend! I plan to eat lots of cake and maybe sip a little champagne. 🙂  I’ll see you back here on Monday!

It may be February, but spring weather is here in Houston!  I have already started purchasing some fun spring pieces, and I’m currently on the hunt for the perfect new wedge sandals.

For early spring, I like to wear tops that breath during the heat of the day, but will also keep warm on a cool night.  This oversized gingham blouse will definitely work perfect for that.  The material is a thin flannel to keep warm, but the oversized fit really help this top breath.  I love the style of this one, because it pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and shorts.  Black and white gingham is a spring favorite of mine.  Just something about it gives me all the feels of picnics and patio weather.

I had to add a little color with these earrings I am obsessed with and my pink flats.  By the way, I linked the heel version of these flats.  I tried them on in store, and they are so cute and comfy!  I’m looking for leather, but if I can’t find a pair these suede ones may be a future purchase.

We are just two weeks away from the Houston Rodeo you guys!!  If you have never heard of it, think yummy bbq and fried foods, horses, bull riding, carnival rides, and big name concerts, plus my favorite part – a fun little wine garden.  It’s a huge event held every March in Houston and last about 3 weeks.  All the fun starts March 2nd, and today I am sharing what to wear to the Houston Rodeo.   This outfit would work for really any rodeo or country music concert.  Honestly, in Texas this could easily work as a brunch outfit too.

I like my rodeo outfits to have small nods to western wear without being full blown.  This year, I paired embroidered details with denim and suede.  Our weather is a bit warmer this year, so I decided a dress would be a safe to wear.  I adore the fit and flare look of this one.  The embroidery is so gorgeous, and it’s also on the back of the bottom of the dress too.  For a chillier evening you could pair this with a denim jacket, but for a beautiful warm day I would go with a denim vest.  I love that it let’s the details on the sleeves be seen.

Of course, no rodeo outfit is complete without a pair of cowboy boots.  If you don’t have a pair, booties or riding boots will work too.  Keep in mind the event involves lots of walking and a little bit of dirt, so try to find something comfortable that can get a little dirty.

If you are in Houston or planning a trip, you should definitely try to make a stop at the rodeo.  There is lots to see, do, and eat.  I highly recommend it!  I’m suddenly craving a funnel cake and glass of wine.  Ya’ll have good weekend, and thanks for swinging by today.

I have always been a lover of gorgeous floral embroidery.  Every year, I buy a top or a dress with some embroidery on it.  I started noticing it becoming more popular, but it wasn’t until I received a few different orders on the same day that I realized I was a little obsessed.   I can’t help myself, it’s just so pretty.

This embroidered rose blouse had a few different things I like about it.  One obviously the gorgeous embroidered flower that sits on your shoulder both front and back.  This flower totally reminds me of the rose from Beauty and the Beast!  I think about it every time I look at it.  (Totally off topic, but really excited for the movie!)    I also loved the gray stripes.  It made this blouse feel a little different than your average button down, and I felt it could easily work in both an office and date night setting.  This blouse has a slightly higher side slit than a normal blouse.  I kind of liked this because it made it easier to do the cool girl partial tuck in.  I have never liked it with a normal blouse, but the higher slit made it work better with this blouse.

This top pairs perfectly with a black pencil skirt for work.  For a cute weekend look, I stuck to the gray theme and paired it with my gray skinny jeans and suede mules.  To make the rose color stand out, I added a pink clutch to help pull the rose out from all the gray.  You could do a double movie date night to see 50 Shades Darker and Beauty and the Beast and be theme dressed for both. 🙂 Hope ya’ll are having a good week so far, thanks for swinging by!
