Ivory One Shoulder Sweater
Hello Ladies! Anyone else super excited to see Friday arrive? It has been the busiest work week, and I’m so excited for a fun and relaxing weekend. It is officially boots and sweater season here in Houston, so I’m excited to pull out some old favorites and a few new loves this weekend.
If you put away your white jeans after Labor Day, pull them back out! A monochromatic winter white look is one of my faves after my black and gray looks. It has a chic and sophisticated, dressed up feel to it. This ivory one shoulder sweater is so cozy and soft! I’m obsessed with all things one shoulder right now and trying not to buy all of them. You could also pair this sweater with black or dark blue jeans. If you are a fan of colored jeans, I think burgundy and emerald green would go well with this ivory color. This one shoulder top also comes in black.
At the time I wrote this post yesterday, these boots were on sale!! Stuart Weitzman boots are definitely an investment piece because of the price. Right now, these slouchy boots are 40% off which makes them the same price I paid during the Anniversary Sale! I love these boots. I have worn them a couple times now, and I’m really happy I splurged on them. I’m 5’3 and I think the shaft height is perfect for me landing just under the knee. I’ve worn them with dresses and jeans, perfect with both. If you would like something similar with a lower price, I found this one with a slightly higher shaft height but pretty identical.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Leopard Print Blouse Under $50
Hello Friday!! I have had the busiest work week, and I cannot wait to start my weekend. I just picked up Emily Giffin’s new book All We Ever Wanted from the library, and tonight’s plans including reading and relaxing with a glass of wine. It’s the perfect end to a crazy week.
I’m pretty sure I have found the perfect leopard print blouse under $50. I don’t own too many leopard print pieces because I am so picky about the look of the print. I don’t want it to be too orange, and I want the spots to look natural and not manufactured. I’ve been searching for a leopard print blouse to please my picky eye for a few years, and finally found one! Bonus, it’s only $49! I’m wearing the XS. It has a loose boxy fit to it.
I paired this print with an all black ensemble, because I think it has such a chic and sophisticated feel to it. You could also pair this top with a black pencil skirt for work or a black leather pencil skirt for date night. I’ve also tried it on with my suede skirt from a couple weeks ago, and they look super cute together. What’s your favorite way to wear leopard print? Let me know in the comments!
I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Fall Trend: Polka Dot Top
Happy Friday!! Ya’ll I had so much fun visiting my friend in San Antonio earlier this week. It rained most of the time I was there, but we made the most of it and still had a blast. Most importantly, I was able to enjoy margaritas and tex-mex along the Riverwalk.
Plaid is always a popular print in the fall, and this year polka dots are joining in as a hot fall trend. This polka dot top even comes in gorgeous warm earth tone brown color, perfect for fall! I love tops that have this tucked in look. It’s doing all the hardwork for you of trying to maintain that perfect tuck throughout the day. This one has a deep v, perfect for pairing with layered necklaces for a weekend or date night look. For work, you may want to consider pairing a cami underneath depending on how it drapes on you.
One color combo I am loving right now is black and brown. It has such an effortless chic feel to it, and it gives me the fall feels. I featured this combo last week too with my suede skirt.
I hope ya’ll have a wonderful weekend! We are finally getting a bit of cool weather, so I plan to spend some time this weekend outside preferably with coffee or wine on a patio. Thanks for stopping by!

Floral Statement Coat
Hello Hello! I love that I am sharing my final New York outfit while sitting at my gal pal’s apartment in San Antonio. I might need to add travel blogger to my resume soon. 😉 While in New York, I was able to meet the PR team for Cinzia Rocca and check out their spring coat line. Obsessed would be an understatement. When they offered me the opportunity to borrow this coat for my last photo shoot, I immediately said yes.
Living in Texas, I usually stick to the basic jacket and coat styles since I am only going to wear them for about a month or so. I loved the opportunity to play dress up with this gorgeous floral statement coat. The fit of this coat was a dream and would look cute dressed down with jeans or over a body-con or fit and flare dress. The floral jacquard print had a chic feminine feel to it.
With this coat being such a statement piece, I kept the remaining pieces of my outfit pretty simple to let the coat shine. I went with gray and black because I think it complimented the floral print perfectly. This gray and black outfit has been a major go to for me lately with statement pieces. I usually love to wear it with colorful statement jewelry or heels, and I will be transitioning it to fall and winter with my jackets.
