Umm, so I have totally been craving all the snakeskin printed things this season! I am so picky about my animal print and the way it looks, so I don’t usually gravitate so much to one print.  Something about the snakeskin though, I am all about it for fall.  One of the things I  prefer to this snakeskin print verse other animal prints is the wide array of colors.  I have found grays, browns, taupes, blacks, reds, and multi-color.  Since snakes come in a wide array of colors, it makes the prints have a more natural look and gives me more colors to play with.

I’m obsessing so much over this print that I could not fit everything in just one graphic!  My snakeskin heels have been on major repeat!  I think shoes are a great way to add this print to an outfit.  A belt or clutch purse are up next on my list as an easy add for a pop of print to a neutral outfit.

Ready to go big or go home – These snakeskin dresses are gorgeous and a definite statement maker. You can add a solid color belt to help break up the print.  The tops are a great way to add this print to an office or layered look.  Pair a top under your blazer for work or a leather jacket and jeans for the weekend.  It’s adds just a hint of chic edge to your ensemble.

What do you think of the snakeskin print trend?  Which piece would you add to your closet?

Hello friends! How was your weekend?  Mine was pretty fun.  A few friends and I attended the Greek festival on Saturday.  It was my first time attending, and it was really fun.  We enjoyed greek food, greek wine, and greek dancing.  Afterwards, we stopped by the bar where my boyfriend and I had our first date!  Overall it was a pretty event filled Saturday, so we followed it up with a pretty lazy Sunday filled with watching football.

Houston is finally getting some cool fall weather at the end of this week, and I am ready for it!  While I tend to gravitate to blue, black and gray denim during the fall, I do think it’s fun to keep an olive pair of pants in the mix.  One of my top tips on how to wear olive pants in fall is to pair with other neutrals or earth tones.  A black top is an easy pairing for olive pants.  I also added in a light beige cardigan and brown booties and tote bag to play on the earth tone colors.  All together it creates the perfect casual fall outfit.  The shade of the pants will also make them work in the spring too!

I hope you all have a fabulous week ahead!

Happy Friday!  I don’t think there is a more classic and easy look than a white top with jeans and heels.  It’s such a good combo to create a slightly dressy, but also casual and effortless outfit any time of year.  With hight waist jeans growing in popularity, I have added a few shorter tops into my closet that pair well with this jean style.

This white wrap blouse is so cute with jeans and the silkier type material adds an instant dressiness to a jeans look.  I opted to pair it with my tan suede heels to keep the overall look more classic.  You could change it up with a fun color or print.  I did still add a little bit of wow factor with my pink statement necklace.  This top has the perfect neckline for short chunkier necklaces.

I also plan to layer this top under jackets and cardigans this fall and winter season.  It will be cute with boots for a casual look or skirts and work slacks for an office outfit.

I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend!

Hello Hello! Happy October!! Let’s be honest, I really love the month of October.  Probably because it’s more when our weather starts feeling a little more like fall, so I can start wearing all my fall things.  I also love all the pumpkin things, fall decor, cozy nights in, enjoying some time outdoors, patio and wine weather!  In Houston, we tend to have tons of festivals in October because it’s finally cool enough to venture outside again lol.  It means every weekend, we have plenty to do!

I definitely noticed your interest peaking on fall fashion basics last month.  Two pairs of jeans made this Top 5!  Both are staples in my wardrobe this season.  Shoes were also popular last month including a fall classic – the brown bootie, and a fall trend – snakeskin heels.

Keep scrolling to see if your favorite made the Top 5 favorites of September!
