This up coming Friday, I turn 25. In light of this super exciting event, I decide to put together some items that if budget did not exist I would TOTALLY get and shop like it’s my birthday. Thanks fiddy for the inspiration!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about buying a new classic handbag that is timeless and will hopefully last forever (even if it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg). I have my Louis Vuitton ‘carry all’ tote that I bought about 8 years ago now, which is kinda crazy to think about.. ANYWAYS, I have already broken a strap once on this bag, because I carry about as much stuff as I can possibly fit into. There’s a great leather and shoe repair place here in Austin that fixed it right up for me and reinforced the other three straps, but it made me realize that this LV tote is really my work horse and pretty tired one at that.

I’ve been thinking more and more in the past week or so about my trip to Italy in July and I couldn’t be more excited to explore the streets, walking from cafe to museum to monument to church to hotel to restaurant and back again for two weeks! As you can imagine, comfort is queen when it comes to shoes for these kind of trips! So I’ve rounded up some of my favorite sandals and espadrilles for Italy to share with all of you because they’re also great for spring/summer in general!

Warmer weather is here and that means fun floral, lace and ruffle detail shorts! It gets so hot here in Texas that you won’t catch me in jeans really all summer long. So that means stocking up on some super cute shorts to have on rotation from April to October lol. I usually wait until last minute to snatch up super cute shorts and by that time they’re always gone in my size. But not this year! I’ve rounded up my favorite shorts for almost any occasion!
SXSW is right around the corner is a huge event in Austin. Growing up in Austin, I never really got into SXSW considering I was a big scaredy cat and thought all bad things in the city happened downtown, which turns out Austin is a pretty safe city and I’ve been enjoying downtown life for the past year and it suits me just fine. This year, along with Melissa, I’ve purchased a wrist band, which I’m not quite sure what it guarantees me, but am so excited to roam the city and check out a few bands I’ve discovered throw 8tracks and soundcloud.
It’s been chilly the last few days in Austin, but this month we have been lucky enough to get a glint of sunshine and remember what it’s like to feel the warmth of spring and summer. Of course warmer weather brings in my opinion, the cutest outfits. I love all the colors, the open toe sandals, the fun floral prints and super cute rompers these seasons bring. Today, I’ve rounded some spring time looks that I’m currently craving and totally obsessing over. This year, I’m going to shop spring and summer early because all the good rompers, shorts, sandals, skirts and off the shoulder tops are all gone early. And this year, I won’t let the other birds get my worm.

When a woman becomes her own best friend, life is easier… This is something I read while in college and has stuck with me ever since, something the incredibly talented, kind and spirited woman Diane Von Furstenburg said. Furstenburg is an icon in her own right, having created an unforgettable silhouette in the chic and timeless wrap dress while making an indelible mark on fashion; but I want to share with you snap shots from her memoir, The Woman I Wanted to Be, and moments from multiple interviews that capture the woman Diane Von Furstenburg as the she is.
Each month, Jennifer and I want to focus on women who inspire. Since we started this venture, we have met many influential women who have been supportive, positive, and uplifting through our journey. As women, we need to lift one another up and motivate each other to meet our potential. In honor of MLK Day and upcoming African American History Month, I wanted to highlight an African American woman who has inspired me while I went to fashion school.
This year our friends started a secret Santa, which I am so excited about because I love surprises and gifts (surprise! who doesn’t?), but even more I LOVE surprising others with the best gift ever.
