BIKER MEETS ATHLETIC

So I'm completely obsessed with this combo.  I love a little sport flair paired with edgy leather, but a touch of girly with leopard heels.  I've had this faux leather jacket from Express for years and still love it and looks just as good as day one.  I thought this look was perfect to showcase this lovely Boucler Bracelet courtesy of Moni Bijoux.  Fun fact: Boucler is French for buckle.  Love the silver glitter accent and is a great layering piece for an arm party!  If you haven't visited their little shop, you should definitely check it out.  Have you entered my latest giveaway?  Enter here to win a fabulous Moni Bijoux statement necklace, today's the last day!!  Scroll for outfit details.

I FOUND THE PERFECT: SWEATER TUNIC

I found it, again I said I found it!  The perfect sweater tunic that is long enough to wear with leggings, but not too long to wear with jeans.  But the best part is....there's no wool in it!  I cannot stand the feeling of wool touching my skin (maybe I'm allergic), so I can never wear it.  This sweater has side slits so it's very flattering and flows easily over your body.  I want it in all colors!  I currently have just the heather grey and bright orange.  The next one I get will probably be the cream with charcoal sleeves.  I do wish they had more color options with the contrast color sleeves.  It is by Trouve and you can get it HERE, check it out!!  Oh and did I mention...this is my 100th post!  Get excited!!

HOW TO: 3 WAYS TO WEAR ANKLE BOOTIES

Outfit One - Booties // Sweater // Watch // Jeans // Beanie

Outfit Two - Top // Jacket // Top // Necklace

Outfit Three - Dress // Coat // Bag // Earrings

What's great about this bootie by Steve Madden is that it is so versatile.  It works in all three categories above - Relaxed, Edgy and Girlie.  The cutouts is an absolute favorite of mine.  Wearing this bootie Relaxed is a great way to dress the look down.  Be sure to roll up your jeans to create a laid back vibe.  The Edgy combo is my favorite in that it more represents my style.  I love leather skirts and long gold chains.  When paired with the bootie here, it creates a rock and roll feel that I really love.  And lastly, the Girlie trend (which is always in style) never gets old.  It's a timeless look that you could always fall back on.  The bootie adds a nice unexpected twist with such a feminine dress.  I adore the combo.  What's your favorite look?

STYLE SPOTLIGHT: OLIVIA PALERMO

1  // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

Today's Style Spotlight focuses 100% on Olivia Palermo's FAB looks.  Can you say très chic?  No matter the event, time of day or even the season, this girl always looks put together.  With her effortless way of layering in the fall and winter months to her flirty blouse and flared skirt look for spring and summer, there's nothing she can't pull off.  I can tell her go-to look is of a neutral palette (which she rocks) or a bright pop of color.  Pretty sure she's wearing this peacoat in yellow above.  I love mixing neutrals in my wardrobe; however, I tend to go bold with various color combos.  Fur is also a go-to accessory for her, whether it be a jacket, vest or clutch - she loves her fur!  How fun is this vest?  Totally Olivia's style.  Olivia Palermo is undoubtedly one of my favorite style icons of all time.  I should have definitely included her in my hair obsession post last week!  Some often forget how your hairstyle impacts your outfit.  Well it does...majorly!  Hers is ALWAYS impeccable.  If you're curious (I know I am), read this to find out exactly how her hair stylist creates this glossy look.  I can hardly stand how perfect her hair is in the first pic.  Wish my hair would part that flawlessly in the middle - mine parts on the side naturally darn it!  Who's your style icon?

All images via Instagram

I love, love, love finding cute and pretty quotes on Instagram.  Here's a 

couple of my favorites.  I get very inspired from quotes like these especially 

when I'm writing or researching for a blog post.  I know, I know a lot are 

fashion related, but hey, what can I say...I'm a fashion blogger!

WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS 》SHOP BLOOM

All images via Kendi Everyday + Our Love in October

Who of you follow the stylish blog Kendi Everyday by Kendi Skeen?  Well, I do!  I love her style and her blog.  For those of you (me too) who would love to raid the closets of your favorite fashion bloggers, now's your chance.  Shop Kendi's boutique Bloom either online or in Downtown McKinney.  Her online shop features those popular items that you find each season in her store.  Everything online and in store is everything Kendi says she would wear, as if pulled straight from her blog.  I find Kendi to be very inspiring for every fashion lover out there.  After starting her blog in 2009, she soon opened up Bloom, a boutique filled with pieces that fit perfectly in every woman's wardrobe.  A dream I have always had.  Seeing others fulfill their dreams shows me that one day I can do the same.  At Bloom, you won't find anything less but high quality and well-constructed pieces at an affordable price from those brands you love such as: Line & Dot and Aryn K.  Speaking of Aryn K., this Silk Shift Dress is adorable and perfect for Fall especially when paired with this awesome Color Block Jacket.  Check it out and don't forget, Bloom Online is only a taste of what's offered at Bloom in McKinney (only a short drive north of Dallas) so I suggest a you visit the store soon!

SATURDAY TREND SPOTTING 》PLAID ALL AROUND AT LFW

Plaid was everywhere at London Fashion Week.  Regardless of who says plaid is in or out, I think it's a constant classic.  Pair this preppy pattern with leather moto jackets and boots for a look a little less school girl and more cool girl!  There's just something about wearing plaid that screams fall weather and curling up next to a fire.  Although cozy plaid flannel shirts are so comfortable, this trend has evolved to a more chic and sophisticated look, such as a pencil skirt or a polished sheer plaid blouse.  This Free People skirt is fab and so is this Marc Jacobs one which is also on sale!  In the colder months this statement coat by Madewell would be a great option to bring in the plaid trend to your wardrobe.  Talking about staying chic, this sheer blouse from Forever 21 will do just that, paired with a high waist leather skirt you will be good to go!  You could also add these plaid flats and do print mixing.  Have fun with it and happy Fall!
