Every girl needs the perfect "power pumps" (how's that for alliteration?). You know, the pair of heels that make you feel like you own the room, can accomplish anything, and just make you feel the upmost confidence. Thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe collection at Nordstrom, I have found my "power pumps".
It's not a surprise that the SJP Collection is absolutely stunning. Between the Fawn 100 Pump and the Carrie T-Strap Pump, it was hard choosing just one pair. This classic style, goes with just about anything. Be sure to check out more of my favorites from SJP below!

Black & Leather
While my closet consists of many colors and textures, I always seem to gravitate towards black or grey pieces. There is something about black on black that seems classic to me. When I saw this sweater from Bradamant, I knew I wanted to pair it with black bottoms (you may remember me posting about these body suits here).
I wear that blouse all the time and I know the same will be true for this sweater. But this monochromatic look required some type of texture and statement. This leather skirt was the perfect way to make this look a little more interesting and not so boring. The zippers added some edge and the necklace kept things feminine. The whole collection is amazing. I can't wait to try this bodysuit!

Holiday Dress
Now that the holidays are well on their way, it only makes sense to start looking for that perfect holiday dress. If you're like me, you probably stress when trying to find the perfect party dress. It's a busy time of year and it can be really hard trying to find something appropriate for that special occasion. However, Nordstrom has always made shopping so easy for me, so it's no surprise that I would look here for my party dress!
This Betsey Johnson fit and flare dress from Nordstrom was exactly what I was looking for. The plaid is on point for this season and the flared skirt adds the perfect touch for a holiday look. If you're on the hunt for some pretty holiday dresses, I highly suggested taking a look at Nordstrom. I am looking at getting this Blue Midi from BCBG or this Satin Shift Dress by Cynthia Steffe. What are your favorite holiday looks?

Black + White
Wearing black and white has always been a "go to" option for me. This drape vest from Chic Wish was at the top of my list for fall layers. It's super soft but light enough to wear for the days when there's just a slight chill in the air. I kept this look clean and simple for an afternoon of errands, but I love the idea of pairing this with a plaid or striped shirt to add a bold look.

Pastel Pleats
I usually don't wear a whole lot of pastels in the Fall. I typically stick to darker colors like black and greys, but I could not pass up this neutral sweater. This has to be the most practical I've worn this Fall. Dallas hasn't been to chilly during the day, but at night, the weather cools down a bit and it's nice to have on a cozy top. This little ASOS number has been at the top of my list. I mean, look at the pleats on the back. Can't get over the split back with pleated panel. It's the perfect look for day or night!

Plaid Tunic
I'm usually not one for brights and neons, however this Tracy Resse Tunic has me re-thinking the whole thing for Fall. I could not pass up this silky, relaxed top. I bought this tunic last week at Anthropologie and I have already worn it to work and out this past weekend. It's definitely one of those easy going shirts that you will wear through Fall and well into Winter. I can't wait to pair it with this Leather Jacket when the weather cools down!

Weekend Getaway
When it comes to traveling, weekend getaways are my favorite. They are easy to plan and usually just the right amount of time to be away. When my husband and I got married we made a goal to travel more and plan little weekend trips. I would say that we have definitely kept that a priority! Between fun trips to Boston and NYC, a few road trips to Austin,TX, and family vacations, I would say that he and I have done our fair share of traveling this year.
I've learned a lot from these trips. One thing I always remember is to dress comfortably. It's common sense, but sometimes we sacrifice comfort for style when really the two can go hand in hand. I always wear light layers when traveling. It makes temperature changes bearable and not to mention this cardigan and silk cami are so so soft! I have to wear comfortable shoes. Whether Im traveling by plane or car, my feet need to be comfy. These
Jewels + Stripes
With each season, my taste in jewelry changes. I often find myself wearing statement necklaces one day then wearing delicate pieces the next. I love how this bracelet and ring from Nordstrom, are pieces that I can wear day to day through each season. Alexis Bittar is so on point with his pieces for this Fall. His amazing, one of a kind statement necklaces pair perfectly with this delicate bangle. It's so inspiring!
The Imperial Hinge Bangle and Gold Stack Ring (now 20% off!) are two pieces perfect for everyday. The jewels on the bangle are the right amount of sparkle and the illusion of multiple stacking rings is just what I like to wear for an easy casual look.

Fall for Alexis Bittar
I love when I find a jewelry designer that compliments my style. And while I'm not one for wearing statement jewelry, I absolutely love these gold and lucite pieces. They perfectly compliment any everyday, casual look. Alexis Bittar is the designer that gets it right. His pieces are more than just jewelry. They are art. They are style. And they are the perfect accessory for today's look.
Nordstrom has a huge collection of Alexis Bittar. They just released the new Fall Collection which features this gorgeous Rose Gold Bangle. My other favorites are the Liquid Cuff and Lucite Hinge Bracelet. They are those quality pieces that you can wear with just about anything! Be sure to check out the full collection here. Happy Shopping! xx
Fall Boot Guide
It's no question that boots are one of my favorite shoes to wear. And while there are hundreds of styles, shapes and colors, I seem to have a liking toward Over The Knee and Ankle styles. There are so many trends now and while they can be fun, I always like to stick with classic looks.
I've put together a few of my favorite styles for Fall and Winter. While the over the knee boot can be intimidating, I highly suggest pairing it with some skinnies and an oversized top or sweater. After eyeing these Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Boots for the last 2 years, I finally made the investment. They are so comfortable and the leather is so soft. If you aren't quite ready to make the investment I highly recommend this version by Louise et Cie. They look identical and are significantly cheaper. If ankle boots are more your thing, you can't go wrong with those above. Happy shopping!
