On the Ranch

Today I went exploring some of good ol’ Texas, and what more is Texas known for then it’s ranches. Being a Florida girl, this was an exciting adventure for me. I toted along my little Olympus XA, and since it’s a tiny camera it was able to fit into this adorable little camera purse. I love attention to detail, and it is no suprise that this Marc by Marc blouse had me at hello. I’m obsessed with the small peter pan collar and the overly big ruffles for the sleeves–it reminds me of something Blair Waldorf would wear. Now off to enjoy the sunset! xoxo
Full Speed Ahead

This morning I finally made the trek out to Hamilton Pool, and I’m so glad I did. It was a gorgeous view out there, and it was great to go and see something besides the computer screen. For this day outing I wanted to wear something easy and light. If you don’t already own a Madewell V-Neck pocket tee, I encourage you to invest in the colors of the rainbow. They are effortlessly cool, and can easily be dressed up or down. I paired it with a JOE’S silk yellow and blue blouse to exercise my primary colors. I even added a little ship telegraph necklace to embrace the adventure. Most of all, I styled for this little road trip with the idea that comfort is key. I think a lot of people think that when they go out for a hike or car trip that fashion can’t be comfortable, and I’m here to tell you that it can be! If you want more styled outdoor inspiration just look at the overwhelming amount of google images for Japanese “Mori girls” and “Yama girls.” What about you, do you style yourself before a new adventure?
Florals? For spring? Ground breaking.

This was such a fun look to shoot, not only that but it was also warmer out today. I know, warm in Texas…sounds like I’m making this up, but last week it was so cold it snowed (or iced for you northerners). I was ecstatic for the Peter Pilotto line for Target to launch. I am thrilled by the amazing duo’s eye for prints and textiles. When the line launched, I knew this top and the skirt counterpart had to become a part of my wardrobe. This outfit is definitely a contender for being stylish on a budget. I have to say that my favorite part about this blouse, besides the print, is the extraordinary sleeves. They are so delicate and feminine against the faux leather skirt and masculine brogues. As spring approaches I am giddy with excitement. The transition from heavy boots to free floating maxi’s, jumpsuits, and anything above the knee is too much to hope for.

I don’t know if it’s all the pink and candy I see when I walk into the grocery store or the fresh flowers…but February hits and I’m all consumed with Valentine’s Day dreams. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it is no surprise that all I can think about is what do I wear?! First things first, I want to be comfortable. One year I decided to make pasta and heavy dessert wearing a little red American Apparel number, (we live, we learn) and from that point on I decided I wanted to dress more for myself and less for my date. Not only is this dress comfortable, it has a beautiful texture. I’m also in love with the electric navy blue flower outlines against the black color–it really leaves a lot of room to mix blues and blacks. I also thought a side braided bun and accent bow would really bring on an extra touch of feminine sweetness. Love and sweetness, isn’t that what this holiday is all about?
