Spring has sprung: Floral Pumps & Boyfriend Jeans


I really love how rich in color this outfit is especially these pumps. Talking about these pumps, (Ivanka Trump ‘Indico’ pumps c/o Nordstrom) I adore and appreciate who ever designed these shoes! Not only are they pretty…but also SUPER comfortable (so much cushion makes you feel like you’re wearing sneakers). Searching for practical shoes that provide you support, and cushioning, while still being fashionable is almost like looking for a unicorn-impossible. Well let me tell you-I finally found my unicorn! ^^ For the outfit, I paired my boyfriend jeans, with this fuchsia blouse (last seen here Too legit to quit), and added floral pumps to get a polished look.

My husband stopped the car after we were done with the shoot and took photos of these flowers-they are so pretty and colorful. You’ll see in the last photo that my gorgeous pumps made their way among the flowers… and they blended in just right. Have a great rest of the week, everyone!!

Varsity Look: Floral bomber jacket & button down shirt

Just a quick "Hi" to everyone and hope you guys are having a great week so far. Happy First day of Spring! I love spring and during this time of the year, and normally the weather is perfect. However it still feels like fall/winter here. Floral is always predominate as it echos the emergence of the season and I'm a big fan. I really like this bomber jacket and especially its color. I kept the outfit simple on this one to give the jacket the spotlight.

My First Chanel Classic Flap Bag.....❤


This post is intended to share my excitement, and the journey of how I got this iconic bag with all of you. I am officially the proud owner of a Chanel medium Classic flap bag. My husband got the bag for me as an early (2 years early actually) 10th Anniversary present-and the reason he decided to do it now was because of the price. If you had your eye on a Chanel flap bag for awhile then you would know that the price keeps going up every year. Last year I randomly found a bag forum that talked about reasons why you should own this iconic bag. One of the reasons is Chanel has a wait list for their classic bags (which I did not know before)…I could not believe it! After reading the article, my husband started to call Neiman Marcus and Chanel boutiques and it’s sure enough Chanel’s wait list does exist. I was 3rd on Neiman Marcus wait list and 2nd on the Chanel boutique in Dallas. You could be waiting for months or years depending on how many bags get shipped in at a time. Even if a classic bag does come in, there is no promise that it will be in the material, or if it will have the hardware color you are hoping for. Thanks to my husband who has never given up on anything easily, he called every Chanel boutique possible. Finally two weeks ago, he called the Chanel boutique in New York (57th Street) and was advised to call the boutique in Houston. Luckily and surprisingly, they have a couple of medium classic flap bags in quilted lambskin with gold hardware. My dream bag was only two and a half hours drive away from me! The boutique would not sell, or hold the bag over the phone (Corporate policy when dealing with the classics) so we had to drive to get the bag, not knowing whether they would be sold by the time we arrived or not. However, we did make it and were the first ones when the store door flung open.  I have not had a chance to wear it yet because it has been raining and let me tell you the truth I’m so nervous to wear it out. I’m still debating whether it will be my daily use bag or a “special occasion” kind of bag.  All in all, I it! Do it, go out and get one (when you're ready). You won't regret it and might have a hard time taking your eyes off it.
By the way, I put together the bag, the pearls, the camellia, and my husband grandmother's brooch for the first photo of this post as I wanted to give it a timeless feel.

With a chance of rain...: Rain Boots & Camo Utility Jacket

Hello everyone! It has been raining here in Texas so rain boots and an umbrella are wardrobe essentials. Comfortable was my main goal for this outfit so I paired my peplum top with leggings and these comfortable Hunter rain boots. This camo jacket was perfect for the weather. (last seen Complementary Combos) It was supposed to be rainy and cold…however it turned out it was no rain, just cold, cloudy and windy…oh well. Have a great start of your week!!
