My Go-To Look For Everyday Wear

Hey everyone, as most of you know, I live right outside of New Orleans and I recently realized that I don’t share enough of the Big Easy with you. So I decided that I’m going to start bringing you along on more of my NOLA adventures starting today with a trip to District Donuts. If you live in the area, then I’m sure you’re familiar with this delightful donut joint. If you aren’t, then believe me when I say that it 100% lives up to all the hype. Not only do they serve up mouthwatering specialty donuts like s’mores and salted caramel, but they also fry up some of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever tasted! Let’s just say I may have unbuttoned my jeans on the ride home after stuffing my face with fried chicken, waffle fries and s’mores flavored donuts!

Speaking of my jeans, I styled my distressed denim with cropped a classic Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, nude mules and a saddle bag. I knotted my polo shirt in front to maintain the edgy vibe of my ripped jeans and wrapped a striped, silk scarf around my handbag for some added style. I love wearing a simple white shirt with distressed denim and nude shoes because it always looks effortlessly chic. It’s always my go-to look for a day of errands and lunch in the city. Plus I love adding different accessories to easily change up the look for everyday wear. How would you wear this cropped Polo Ralph Lauren shirt?

Travel Outfits Style Guide

July 8, 2015

Travel Outfits Style Guide: My five main components of the perfect travel outfit are: jeans (or leggings), a comfy lightweight shirt, a jacket, an oversized tote and sneakers (or booties)! I also always bring an extra pair of socks for when my feet get cold on the plane, and I pack my tote with a pair heels or wedges along with my jewelry in case we go wear somewhere nice once we arrive and I don’t have time to change.

Good Morning everyone! I apologize for not posting the past couple of days, but I’ve been so crazy moving into our new house! Our movers cancelled on us last minute so we had to move everything ourselves down three flights of stairs, and that is definitely NOT something you want to do during July in Louisiana. The new house is precious though! It’s all white inside with the original wood floors from 1929! I posted some sneak peeks on Snapchat if you’re interested. It has so much character and charm and it sits on the most beautiful street!

Anyway, about these looks… with summer in full swing, I decided to put together two travel outfits since I’m sure a lot of you have summer vacations planned. I wore the outfit above with my favorite rose gold Joie Kidmore sneakers, which are currently 50% OFF! I styled the outfit below with a pair of lace up heels to show you how can you easily dress up your travel outfit for dinner or drinks once you arrive to your destination. Like I mentioned earlier, I always pack a pair of heels and some jewelry in my carry on tote to dress up my look in case I don’t have time to change.

Outfit 2: White Skinny Jeans | Chambray Shirt | Bucket Bag c/o Ann Taylor | Lace Up Heels (similar lace up heels)

Chambray Shirt + White Denim + H&M Recap

June 11, 2015

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed how often I wear my Bella Dahl chambray shirt paired with white denim. It’s just such an easy yet stylish outfit that I can throw together before running out the door. It’s like a summer uniform for me besides my chambray romper that I wear all the time.

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all been having a great week so far. If not, at least it’s almost the weekend, right?

Anyway, if you’ve been looking for some nice quality chambray pieces for your wardrobe, I highly recommend Bella Dahl! I swear it’s the softest most comfortable chambray shirt I’ve ever owned! I love it so much that I got it in white and the long sleeve versions too, not to mention their awesome A-line dress and romper I just got. Oops! Just try one out and you’ll see why!

I actually wore this same exact outfit to the grand opening of H&M recently in Gretna at Oakwood Mall before I changed into the most adorable striped dress shown in the photos below! You’ll also notice that I’m holding up the cutest chambray dress from the H&M in the photo! It’s equally as comfortable as my shirt!

I had so much hosting the selfie contest via Twitter for a chance to win a style consultation with a free $100 H&M gift card with early access to the store.

Taking a selfie with the 5 contest winners!

Perfect Transitional Style Tips

March 23, 2015

Outfit: Citizens of Humanity Denim | Light Pink Cotton Shaker Sweater c/o 525 America (Pink Sweaters) | Joie Kidmore Sneakers c/o Emma’s Shoes | Yvette Ring c/o Mary P Lamb Designs <–20% OFF w/ code: HAUTE20

Good Morning readers, we’ve officially made it to Spring! However, I realize that we can’t go immediatly from jeans, heavy sweaters and boots to mini skirts and cropped tops. It takes time before we’re ready to show off our bare legs and arms. This is what we call the transitional period! I know I’ve been parading around in swimwear and coverups for the past few weeks, but that’s because I wanted to show you what fun colors and prints you have to look forward to. Just because you aren’t ready to wear those pieces yet doesn’t mean you can purchase them right now and save them for later.

The perfect transitional style pieces to wear before you’re ready tackle bright colors and prints are: light wash denim, ankle boots, pastel or neutral colored sweaters, white denim, sneakers or slip-ons and light weight jackets or vests. The best way to start slowly incorporating hints of spring into your wardrobe is by wearing bright colored accessories and peep-toe booties or wedges.
