Waterfall Cardigan

If there's one item in my closet I love, it's a great cardigan. Maybe it's the teacher in me, but investing in a good cardigan will get you through multiple seasons and will definitely give you plenty of options when it comes to outfits.  Due to the hot temps in Dallas, a lightweight cardigan is a must. This waterfall version from Goodnight Macaroon is a practical solution to achieve a layered look- even in the Summer! I kept it neutral with a cream tank, but it could easily be paired with a pop of color. This is something that I will be wearing quite often!

M&H / Polish Fashion Show

Tonight I am excited to share with you some pictures from the Milk & Honey / Polish Fashion Show. Milk & Honey is one of my favorite Dallas boutiques and Polish is an incredible organization connecting professional women to discuss career and faith. When I heard the two were joining forces to host a fashion show, I knew it would be amazing! The night started off with gorgeous flowers by Posh Floral and delicious treats from Society Bakery. Lauren Scruggs was the fashion show emcee and did a beautiful job sharing her story and faith while presenting new trends from Milk & Honey Boutique. It was a great night of fashion, friends and fellowship! If you're in the Dallas area, I invite you to the Polish Luncheon tomorrow from 11:45-12:45 at the Tower Club in Downtown Dallas.

Black + White

When it comes to accessories, black and white is an easy win for me. I should probably try to branch out and embrace color more often, but I can't help but fall for classic B/W pieces like these. A few of the items I always like to have on hand include my Chanel Classic Flap Bag, Black Nixon Time Teller, and a little sparkle from Accessory Concierge. If you're thinking about making the jump on investing in a classic bag, I highly suggest Portero. It's no question that they are the best online retailer for luxury vintage bags. Portero offers 100% authenticity on all items from their online boutique and all bags are in beautiful condition. They recently re-vamped their site and unloaded a lot of new bags. Be sure to check it out! Wearing: Joie Silk Blouse | Chanel Classic Flap in Lambskin c/o Portero | Nordstrom Black Shorts | Nixon Black Time Teller Watch | Accessory Concierge
