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!!

SPLURGE VS. STEAL 》THE GREEN SATCHEL

Kate Spade // Michael Kors // Merona for Target

Ok, so we all know that girls love to splurge on designer handbags.  We can't resist!  But sometimes not everybody can justify these purchases.  Luckily, I've got you covered in that department!  I just found this super chic bag from Target last weekend.  I could not get over how similar it was to this Kate Spade and this Michael Kors.  In person it's really unbelievable!  I was so impressed with the quality that I bought it for myself.  I absolutely love it so far.  Some, I know, might have a problem with choosing such a similar knock-off, but I don't care!  Right now, for me, this will work just fine.  Anyone else with me??  I've gotten so many compliments about it since carrying this bag.  I would highly recommend it!  Which version do you prefer?

For those of you who already have a wishlist for Valentine's Day, here's a few more ideas!  Me and my husband usually don't exchange gifts on this holiday, but when we do, it's always a small knick knack just to say "I love you".  Most of the time we will go out for dinner and a movie.  Sometimes I'll even cook for him (he's the cook in the family!)  My vote is for the "love" necklace, the pink lingerie set and the lips ring!  What's your favorite?

Stay tuned later this week for a Gift Guide for Him!

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!

WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS

Every other week I will introduce my favorite boutiques in Dallas at which I love to shop.  The best part is that most places now offer online shopping, which is great for you out-of-towners.  To get the ball rolling, let's start with a little boutique called Milk & Honey Boutique.

How cute is this store?  Established in June of 2011, Brittany York brought her boutique to life creating an atmosphere crossed with her feminine style to her eclectic and whimsy taste.  Milk & Honey offers quality and on trend fashion at affordable prices, so the women of Dallas don't have to worry about looking at the price tag.  You get the feel of a high-end department store with walls of lights and birch branches to cowhide rugs, but at a price that's easy on the wallet.  Almost everything in the store is under $100!  From apparel and shoes to jewelry and candles - you will find everything under the sun at this artistic inspiring boutique.  Be sure to check it out next time you're in Dallas, it's on Henderson Ave.  Also, don't forget to check out their website here to shop some of the most popular items from their store.  Here's some of my favorites.
