{Travel Style} Trending Map Fashion

, , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Trending Now: Fashion to Put you on the Map- Literally! Map Fashion is not a trend I have spotted yet in person, but I will completely embrace this up and coming trend. Whether you are a globe-trotter, a dreamer, an adventurer, a studious geographer, or a fashionably free spirit, Chic + Fashionable Map Pieces are trending now and make me anxious to Travel somewhere far away- STAT!

Of course you can always go to your fab white denim, favorite pair of jeans, or a simple short to pair with this Map Print Tee… But if you want to get creative and invest in pieces you can mix with other outfits… This Ivory Boyfriend Blazer by TopShop and these lovely Denim Scalloped Edge Shorts by Ted Baker are perfect. When you are traveling, denim and blazers are great pieces to mix and match to create maximum looks with minimal pieces. Blazers are great for layering and denim is a no-brainer.

, , , , , , , 2 Comments

{Thoughtful Thursday} and I have Fall Fashion on the mind- go figure. I am sorry breaking the ice so early, but trust me… It is never too early to have it on your mind if you are a smart shopper. Begin by beating heat and looking through your closet to find inspiration and pieces you will rely on in the Fall. The pieces you don’t have, put on your wish list and search responsibly! I am all over the Farm + Equestrian + Texas Chic.

{Trend Alert} David Peck High Low Dress

, , , , , , , 3 Comments

Fall 12 David Peck Collection Navy High Low Dress at Tootsies Houston

My visit to Tootsies Houston was a sheer success… I can hardly wait the four to six weeks to get my first official High Low Dress. What a glam, effortless, fashionable look from the David Peck Fall 2012 Collection, the Lillie dress. They say a girl should wear the dress, not the dress wear the girl, but this dress wore me… I felt wonderfully at ease in this beautiful Navy High Low Dress from David Peck. This HiLo Dress is seasonless + perfectly Texas.  Love Houston Designer David Peck- he knows Fashion, Houston and a Woman’s Body!

If a High Low Dress is not on your radar, put it on there. You need one in your closet for sure!

{Moment When} Equipment met Alice+Olivia

My visit to Tootsies Houston assisted by the Fashion Counselor Terry Rambin

What an enchanting feeling it is to have a Dressing Room Glory Moment… Priceless! The stage is set: You are in a perfect atmosphere, have a Fashion Conscience + Counselor to talk you through the decisions, and then you find something that looks and feels right! What more can a girl ask for?!? The more I have perfected my shopping, the more I have learned not to settle… Don’t buy something unless you are in love and Don’t buy something just because it is on sale. The fashion world is booming with Emerging Fashion Designers, Target is bringing in the Big Names, and Buyers are trending to Made in the USA Brands, giving you a plethora of options. Ah, decisions decisions…

{ WISDOM } Remember to Invest in Staples, Find your brands and Breed a Loyalty with them, Find a Store, Build a Relationship on Facebook or Twitter, Shop Sales on the first day, Make Friends with a good Fashion Counselor, bring a Shopping Companion, make Smart Acquisitions, Scout New Arrivals as they hit the door… You will find your own Shopping+ Style and learn to buy smart.

Silk Equipment Brett Blouse in Nude

Although my { Self-Portrait } pose is pulling my Nude Brett Silk Equipment Blouse, it fits nicely, the silk is super soft… Highly Versatile! A Nude Silk Blouse is definitely a wardrobe staple you will find a million reasons to ensemble! Roll the sleeves up, cuff them, tie the front, tucked in, tucked out, add a statement necklace, a blazer, even pair with { Neon }… The possibilities are endless! { Be Inspired: Pin with The Suburban Diary }

{ Style Ideas } Shorts, Crops, Skirts, Cigarette Pants, Jeans, Riding Pants, White, Black, Denim… Did I miss anything?!?

If  The Suburban Diary is part of your Regular Reading, you know I just professed my love for Printed Jeans in { Sprint for the Prints } … Well I found them alright. These Alice + Olivia Cropped Skinny Jeans in a Black Floral Print are probably the most comfortable jeans I have EVER tried on! I asked for any other colors, prints in the style- but no luck- this was the last pair at Tootsies Houston. I hope this soft, light weight, stretchy denim will make an appearance in a future collation for Alice + Olivia.

7 for all Mankind Pink Floral Metallic Printed Jeans

Trending now… Prints are HOT! Printed jeans are on the horizon, so put them on your wish list radar ladies. Have fun styling Printed Ankle + Skinny Jeans with something like a White T by Alexander Wang,  James Perse White Tank, Rugby Ralph Lauren White Button Up, White Vince Silk Blouse, or Rory Beca Blazer. Think simplicity when styling with prints like Ikat, Leopard, and Florals…It doesn’t take much to make a statement with these printed jeans. I love less scrunch at the ankles and will alter my jeans to right past the ankle bone. I will pair with go-to nude shoes { nude wedges here }.
