The Best OTN Boots Under $40!

Did you tune into The Bachelor finale last night? I've had a love hate relationship with the show since it started, but I always wind up watching it. I don't know what it is about it that lures me to my tv every Monday, but I just can't seem to peel myself away from it. Maybe it's the crazy story lines, or the fact that it's so totally scripted, but I cannot stop laughing for the two (or three) hours that I watch it. Not to mention I'm totally blown away by the drama, or lack there of this season....until last night! I won't spoil it for you, or bore you with the details if you don't watch it, but one thing's for sure, I am glad to be rid of this season's bachelor, Arie. So boring!

In other news, I was back home in Wisconsin last week visiting my family and I had the best time. We're strewn across the country and don't get to see one another as often as we'd like, so it is nice when we can all get together and have some quality time. I seriously can never get enough. I am so envious of those families that live only miles (or a few hours drive) away from one another! If only...

We shot these before I left to go home, and I think the Houston skyline is the perfect backdrop for this city chic look. I love this pom pom sweater, and am a huge fan of the mustard color. Bonus - it's now on sale for under $40! I know the pom poms may be a bit much for some, but I think they're a cute addition to an otherwise boring staple. I mean, sweaters aren't always the cutest, am I right?!?! 

I've also searched high and low all season for the perfect OTN boots that don't fall down, and I have finally found them. This pair is perfect because it has the tie in the back, so you can easily make them looser or tighter depending on your calf size, or what you're wearing. They also come in four other colors and are only $38. With spring just around the corner, I would snag these up in every color as they're the perfect transitional piece.

In Full Bloom











Dress | Shoes | Clutch | Earrings (15% off with code: GOBIG18) | Bracelets | Sunglasses 

Happy Wednesday, loves!

From warmer temperatures, to seeing new trends, brighter colors, and transitional pieces, it's obvious that Spring fashion is in full bloom! 

Some of the big trends we saw on the runway for Spring were pastels, statement bags, trench coats, checks (gingham is always a must this season), bold colors - especially yellow, and pencil skirts. Also, did I mention florals? Always a seasonal favorite, designers showcased a vintage inspired take on this beloved print. This Trina Turk dress is the perfect example of how designers are playing with this "new" (old) pattern for Spring 2018. The bell sleeves, and mix of green, blue and lavender are totally reminiscent of the 70's!

Next Thursday, March 8th, I am hosting Trina Turk's annual, "Spring Style Out" event at the Galleria, and would love it if you would join me!  They'll be debuting their Spring 2 collection and everyone will receive 20% off their purchase and be entered to win a $250 shopping spree. Full details below!

Sweet Valentine












Dress | Pumps | Earrings | Ring (similar style) | Sunglasses

Happy Valentine's Day, lovebirds!

As soon as I saw this dress, I knew that it was the "one." Red and pink are synonymous with Valentine's Day, but I know I'll be wearing this lace number year round. This dress is so flattering, and the details are perfect. I am wearing a size Small, and feel like it definitely fits TTS.

Whatever you do for Cupid's holiday, I hope you have a fabulous day! xoxo
