Game Day Style. Green Plaid.



October 22, 2015

Here in the south and definitely in Texas, we love us some game day style. Nothing quite like putting on your team’s colors and getting out to support with friends and family. Whether it’s tailgating at the game or gathering around the big screen for a watch party, team spirit is important. We wear our colors with pride and always in style.

My alma mater is Baylor University [sic ’em Bears!] and our colors are green and gold. One of my many thrills in life is to find outfits that would be perfect to show my Baylor spirit. BU is celebrating homecoming this weekend (we invented it) so I had to find a style-forward outfit with the right colors. It’s so fun to walk around campus and see everyone in the school colors. I enjoy seeing what other people come up with for creative ways to sport the green and gold.

This plaid top is a great transition piece that works for game days or as a perfect fall staple.

I jazzed up the outfit a little by adding the same snakeskin shoes from this post to add more interest. Nothing wrong with mixing it up!

I just love how easy this style is. A plaid shirt is a fall staple and there are so many ways to make it chic rather than lumberjack. Dark denim and a pair of fun heels are a good place to start. Plaid shirts are also versatile in how you style it. You can roll the sleeves, tie it at your waist, pop the collar for an ultra prep feel. Plaid shirts layer so easily – under a blazer, with overalls, or even under a sweater for a hint of color. Make plaid your friend this fall as the possibilities are endless.

Fall Color Combination: Desert Sage. + Giveaway!



October 8, 2015

Did you know that there is an organization that decides the color palette for each season? If you’ve ever heard of Pantone colors, that’s them. You’ll find that most of the clothing and accessories offered each season fall somewhere in the color range they have set. Pantone is doing what we call fashion forecasting, predicting and establishing the trends about 8 months ahead of the season. They work so far in advance to bring us the colors we will all be wearing  for the season. While all of us were ready for summer back in March, the colors for this fall were already out. They are such an authority on color that fashion designers and retailers look to them for color direction when they go to design or buy a collection.

One of the colors for this fall that really grabbed my attention is called desert sage. This muted green shade is perfect for fall and the changing weather. Take a look at some clothing and accessories in this beautiful shade.

The importance of neutrals continues to evolve with Desert Sage, a cool and soothing greenish-gray that serves as the ideal neutral across the Fall 2015 palette. Timeless and unobtrusive, yet powerful enough to make a statement on its own, Desert Sage speaks to the feeling of naturally inspired colors that remind us of things that are real and not invented.

Shop more desert sage picks!

Green Envy for Lupita Nyong’o::BAFTA Awards 2014



February 17, 2014

Okay, okay. I am officially on the Lupita Nyong’o bandwagon.

I’ll admit that she has looked stunning basically *every* time she has stepped onto a red carpet. I’m never one to get caught up in the hype so I’ve been waiting so sing Lupita’s praises (since ANYONE who is even remotely into fashion has been doing so).

But this green gorgeousness from the BAFTA’s on Sunday, February 16th made my jaw drop.

2014 BAFTAs - Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita kills the competition in this Christian Dior couture gown from the Fall 2013 collection.

The train. The flawless fit. The captivating color. #love

Not only is the dress amazing, but her makeup and accessories are perfect. The slim gold belt goes perfectly with the Ana Khouri cuffs that are more superhero chic than wonder woman-esque. She completed the look with a red lip and an emerald smoky eye that I am a huge fan of.

As a rising fashion icon, Lupita Nyong’o continues to win and wow on the red carpet.
Now if only she could take home an award for her supporting role in ’12 Years a Slave’, that would be the icing on the cake!
