Can you keep a secret? I know he can. This black dress is everything. It has a dramatic keyhole front, bell sleeves, and a criss-cross corset style back that laces down and loops into the base of the skirt. The ties leave a long tasseled bow that drapes down to the bottom of the maxi-length skirt. This is one of those… View Post

Fall is officially here, and along with it my new favorite off shoulder floral top! This month is so all burgundy everything, and it makes a great neutral base for a print. The vintage-inspired floral print has a linear element that keeps it looking a little more contemporary than some of the other big romantic vintage floral prints. Florals are more of… View Post
Fall is officially here, which means it’s about time to break out that fall plaid. It may not be quite warm enough for flannel in Texas yet, but it’s at least time to move that to the front of the closet.

Even though it’s so hot outside, summer is starting to wind down as fall styles come flooding into stores. It can be hard to think about adding layers when the heat makes me feel so tired and heavy.
