WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS 》FLIRT BOUTIQUE

I'm back today to feature another boutique in my "Where to shop in Dallas" series.  Have you shopped at Flirt Boutique before?  If not, you should be!  With raving reviews on Dallas A-list, it's sure to please.  Some say it's a "true female paradise" and has "excellent choices with the most up-to-date trends".  Check it out!

1 + 2 

 After opening their doors in 2005 to local shoppers in the heart of Uptown Dallas.  It has since become a staple in women's fashion.  It's really those shoppers who truly appreciate women's clothing and accessories that get the most out of shopping here at Flirt.  I personally love the accessory selection.  They specialize, not only in the latest trends, but also customer service and extremely knowledgable and creative staff.  With that said, it is strongly encouraged for you to enjoy a glass of wine at the wine bar and relax in the lounge.  To add to the personal connection to this boutique, you can shop online.  But to your surprise, you do so through their Facebook Page.  I think this creates more of a casual and one-on-one touch with their customers.  Simply comment "sold, your size and email address" under the item you wish to purchase then wait for an invoice through email and your done!  Simple as that.  Hope to see you there! 

ADD SOME NEON TO YOUR DAY

Top: Express // Skirt: J. Crew // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Shoes: Target (old, but these are very similar) // Necklace: Banana Republic (old) // Bracelets: You can find here and Forever 21 // Earrings: J. Crew (old) // Rings: Seen here

Adding some neon to your day will instantly brighten your mood, not mention your face and complexion.  The easiest way to do this is, is to wear a neon blouse.  This is what I did here, then paired it with a more subdued skirt, but it still blends well because of the green piping.  I love this fab skirt from J. Crew.  Check out my blog post here to see how I got it at a bargain price!  Who loves the Portofino Blouse from Express?  I do!  I already own about 6 different colors.  I personally don't think there's anything wrong with that - I know I love it, so therefore I'm going to wear them ALL.  I went a little funky by adding some ankle booties, a statement necklace and bold earrings.  I know some might think neon is so last year, but I still love it and plan on wearing it over and over again.  Will you keep wearing Neon?

 

 

YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 》PHILLIP LIM FOR TARGET

Source 

If you don't already know, Phillip Lim for Target launched yesterday.  This fall capsule collection consists of versatile pieces which have been advertised to be able to transition you from day to night with ease.  Everything from trench coats, blouses, skirts, dresses to lingerie and handbags, there is something here for everyone.  The color story is actually quite nice and fresh for the new upcoming fall season.  With hues of khaki, baby blue, navy, black and grey mixed with splashes of kelly green, yellow, orange and that very pretty floral print, I think make the essential pieces in the collection stand out.  One of the most popular items had to be this Classic Khaki Trench with baby blue lining.  Another favorite was the Cross Body Mini Satchel in a golden yellow color.  Unfortunately, both are already sold out, unless you were first in line!  Me, I'm not one for crowds, so I typically wait till the next day to see if I can find some leftover gems still hangin' around.  Who knows, maybe I can catch a break with eBay.  I did, however, glance over this website which lists out everything with a to the hour update on what is still available online.  I'm actually thinking about this daring leopard print number.  To shop the whole collection (or what's left of it) - click here.  I would normally link everything in the pictures below, but since most are sold out, I felt like it wouldn't really help you out much. Take a look below at some of my top looks for both women and men.  Enjoy!

Tommy Hilfiger

As fashion week S/S 14 has come to an end, I thought I'd share with you a couple of my favorite looks.  I absolutely fell in love with all these pieces including this crochet tunic by Tommy Hilfiger.  I was shocked, but this piece talked to me!  My other outstanding favorite is the Rebecca Minkoff dress.  How gorgeous is this?  Very dreamy and love the movement.  Overall, getting tidbits and updates via instagram from the famous bloggers out there about each show was the best part!  Enjoy!

STILL WEARIN' WHITE

 Dress: Lover + Friends // Jacket: H&M (might still be in stores) // Shoes: Target by Prabal Gurung // Earrings: Nicole Bathie // Bracelets: found here // Watch: Michael Kors // Rings and Sunglasses: found here // Necklace: Forever 21 (this one and this one are must haves)

One brand I'm currently coveting is Lovers + Friends, which is where my dress is from.  They are the epitome of boho chic and California style.  Effortlessly throw on one of their dresses and top it off with some accessories, you will be the IT girl.  I decided to pair this dress with a mint blazer and some red sandals.  I hope you hopped on the Prabal Gurung for Target train, because I wear these sandals with everything!  My friend, Amanda (of The Wardrobe Connoisseur) lent me these incredible earrings by Nicola Bathie.  They are handmade and gorgeous!  I highly suggest you check out her website.  Random fun fact - this fountain is where my husband proposed to me and completely swept me off my feet!  What a great memory!
