blouse: hi-lo v-neck blouse // fur vest: old (similar here, faux fur version here) // jeans: frame ‘forever karlie’ flare jeans // shoes: vince ‘karen’ wedges (33% off!)

You guys know I have a love affair with these flares. They were made in collaboration with {the Supermodel} Karlie Kloss and meant for people with giraffe legs (#hi). When I tell you I had been dreaming of the day I could find a pair of jeans to touch the ground since I was in high school, I am not kidding! These jeans are incredible, and I want them in every. single. color.

It’s finally getting colder in Dallas — this morning it is 46 degrees! — and a fur vest is a great piece to have on hand for layering. If you only have one fur, investing in a black one makes the most sense {goes with everything}, but this one also comes in a dreamy white color that I could imagine being incredible for winter as well! Hope everyone has a happy Friday – stay warm!

And for the shorter girls {anyone under 5’9!} here are some flares more suited for you 🙂

HOLIDAY OUTFIT: 2 WAYS

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 

I’m a visual person, so when my sister emailed me asking for advice on a holiday outfit {it will be here before we know it!}, I put this together to help the both of us! I loved the idea of a more casual chambray shirt {tucked in} offsetting the girliness of a big taffeta skirt. Jazz it up with a leopard clutch and sky high heels, or keep it more casual in fancy flats and a silver clutch #agirlneedsoptions

A PERFECT HOLIDAY LOOK

shirt: white long sleeve shirt // skirt: silk faille skirt (similar + cheaper option here) // necklace: bauble bar (old, similar here) shoes: manolo blahnik ‘bb’ in red plaid (less expensive version here & here) // lipstick: chanel in 104 // jacket: jcrew collarless coat 

Holiday season is just around the corner, so when I saw these Manolo Blahnik BB pumps, I knew they would be perfect for any and every outfit! They are just as magical in real life as they seem in the photos – instantly transforming this outfit from blasé to something special. The BB pump is a classic style, so I know shoes will be something I wear every Holiday season from here on out!

There’s also something about this skirt that screams ‘holiday season’ to me. I bought it last year, and it was one of my favorite purchases. I paired it this time with a more slimming tee (would also look great with a body suit) and a big chunky necklace from Bauble Bar. If you aren’t familiar, Bauble Bar has an amazing selection of high quality costume jewelry for a great price. If I remember correctly, I snagged this necklace last year for under $60!

GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17

Let’s be honest – we all dread buying gifts for the men in our lives. Whether they’re our sons, brothers, fathers, boyfriends or husbands, guys are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for! That’s why I’m kicking off my gift guide series with gifts for HIM! Let’s knock those guy gifts out early and then move on to our more fun gifting duties! My favorite picks above are the yeti coolers (#9 & #10), the slippers (#4) and #3, the apple watch! I also just got #14 for two of my brothers! Such a classic everyday watch. Happy shopping friends!
