Little Black Dress

What would we do without little black dresses in our lives? I can tell you one thing, my wardrobe wouldn’t survive without them. There are so many times when one of my little black dresses has saved the day and it is because of this reason that I always keep my closet fully stocked with them. From body con and maxis to A-line and swing dresses, I’ve got them all in black. Don’t get me wrong, I love color, but sometimes a little black dress is just necessary. Who’s with me!

Good Morning readers, tomorrow is the big day at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie. I can’t wait to see all of you at my Halloween event featuring a handbag trunk show with MZ Wallace! In case you haven’t noticed, the Marlena Backpack is my favorite bag from MZ Wallace Fall collection right now. I feel so cool and sporty-chic when I’m rocking a backpack instead of a structured tote. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of my handbags, but when I want to go for an edgier feel I like to wear my Marlena especially when traveling. I defintely think that backpacks add that instant cool factor to your look. They make you look fun and adventurous like you might need your hands free at any given moment to do something spontaneous. However, if there is anyone who needs free hands more than adventurous people, it’s moms! I watch my “fairy” God child from time to time and I don’t know how moms carry anything for themselves at all! You’ve got the carseat, the stroller, the diaper bag, the pacifier that she keeps throwing on the ground and oh yea, the baby! What mom has extra hands for a handbag? Moms, adventurous travelers and girls who just want to add the cool factor to your look, make sure to come check out the Marlena for yourself at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie tomorrow. I’ll be there from 2-4, but they’ll have the bags on display all day! They’ll even have MZ Wallace’s newest backpack available from their holiday collection called the metro backpack.  On top of that, you will receive a delicous dessert Jar by Dani with purchase. Trust me, you do not want to miss out on these mouthwatering treats!

Visit my last post for more details on all 3 bags–> Join Me For An MZ Wallace Halloween Event!

P.S. If the Chrissie bag in this post is too large for your everyday needs, but you love the style… you’re in luck because they make a smaller version called the Andie!

Event Details: MZ Wallace Handbag Trunk Show on Thursday, October 30th at Emma’s Shoes | 110 Rosa Ave., Metairie, LA | Phone: (504) 407- 0668 | Receive #JarsbyDani with purchase!

Thank you to MZ Wallace for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Outfit: Plaid Jeans c/o French Connection (check your local stores for availability) | Flash Lens Shades | Winter Hat (similar)| Boyfriend Tee | Ankle Boots (sold out–> similar)

Jewelry:  Michael Kors Watch | Gold Bangles c/o Candy Apple Boutique |

Good Morning readers, I just want to start by saying that these French Connection jeans are no longer available online, but please check your local FC stores because these jeans are crazy comfortable and…. might I add flattering??! At first, I was a little hesitant to try these plaid printed jeans because I was worried that they would accentuate my thighs, but I found them to be rather slimming instead. I feel like the vertical lines in the print create a slimming affect to the jeans which in turn actually took the attention off of my thighs.

Also one more thing that I want to mention, French Connection is hosting a HUGE online sale plus an extra 60% OFF sale styles with code: W13FINAL at checkout. They’ve got some great pieces on sale so I highly recommend that you check it out! You don’t want to miss this!
