Fashion Law & DVF - Monday Musings

Fashion Law is becoming a thing y’all! Fordham University in NYC is offering two academic law programs, which are not only new to Fordham, but to the entire world. The programs will cover topics like fashion financing, copyrights, licensing and sustainability as it relates to the fashion world. I have been looking at Fordham ever since they were pioneers in introducing fashion law courses. Even more focus on this blossoming specialty is exciting to see.

lunch at Green - Monday Musings, link roundup

lunchin’ it at Green Vegetarian Cuisine. follow me on insta @theblockishaute.

My mom is on a quest to improve her health by eating better & getting in a little exercise. We wanted to check out Pearl Brewery, the San Antonio Texas historic complex turned trendy eating, shopping, and farmers’ market and found Green Vegetarian Cuisine to eat at. The menu looks no different from any other restaurant but everything is vegetarian or vegan. We both loved our healthy choices. Can’t wait to go back!

Amber Heard ELLE. Monday Musings - link roundup

#girlcrush alert. amber heard.

So last week my girlfriends and I got to preview a free screening of Magic Mike XXL. (GO SEE IT. You won’t regret it.) The lovely Mrs. Johnny Depp – aka Amber Heard – was cast as the leading lady and she was giving off some serious vibez. Definitely want to see more of her and thanks to ELLE we can. She’s the cover girl and lead story in the July issue which is on newsstands now.

Miguel/Wild Heart - Monday Musings. Link Roundup

New music from Miguel. Wild Heart.

Miguel #fangirl here. Really excited about this one. Miguel’s highly anticipated new album Wild Heart is set to drop on June 30th. NPR has the first listen. While this will be a departure from his early work and less R&B than the mixtape Miguel that I fell in love with over 6 years ago, I’m excited to see what this talented singer-songwriter puts out. The first single ‘Coffee’ jams so if that’s any indication, I’m here for it. Order your copy here.

Charleston - link roundup

pray for Charleston.

I don’t have words to really express my heavy heart at the tragedy that occurred at the Emmanuel church in Charleston, South Carolina. All we can do is continue to pray for the families of the Emmanuel Nine and pray for peace to settle over this country. I will continue to thank God for each and everyday that I am given and live life to its fullest potential as it is truly a gift that should not be taken for granted.

Love first & foremost.

Til next time,

Dallas Blogger Collective Happy Hour.



May 29, 2015

Happy Friday! Last night I went to a fabulous event hosted by the Dallas Blogger Collective at Taco Diner. (PS. – the world-famous Mambo Taxi is a must-have) As a new(ish) blogger, this was my first event with the Dallas Blogger Collective and I was not disappointed. It is a great community of girls with all levels of experience in the blogging world. Everyone was open to share by passing out cards, following each other on Instagram, and offering helpful tips to the newbies. Bloggers from all types of categories were there, including fashion, lifestyle, food, and photography. Since a migraine got me down earlier in the week, I wasn’t able to do a style post but these ladies more than deliver. Here is a round-up of a few of the girls I met & who I hope will become great blogger friends! Make sure you check each of them out!

Ashley Larea

Ashley Larea | Dallas Blogger

I got the pleasure of sitting next to Ashley at the event. It was great to hear about her strategy on Instagram as well as learn about her growing jewelry business. Her jewelry is so cute and very on trend so check it out! I can’t wait to grab this necklace.

Natalie Keinan

Dallas Fashion Blogger

Natalie was a wealth of information and super sweet too! She delivers information on style deals and covers the best happy hours! Two things I certainly cannot live without. Follow Natalie for updates on Dallas drinks & fashion deals!

Jaclyn Mittman

dallas-style-blog-pretty-petals-5844

Jaclyn blogs over at Pretty Petals and her personality was just infectious! She is gorgeous and fun to be around. I gushed over her amazing lashes! She does the two mascara trick that I swear by. Jaclyn covers it all – fashion, beauty, decor, and food…all of which I hope to include on my blog someday. Glad I got to sit next to her & can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve! Stay tuned!

Mollie and Maggie

Kristin is the blogger for Mollie and Maggie and it was by divine chance that we ended up as new bloggers at the same event. We know each other from our time in the retail world so it was great to see a familiar face! Kristin loves all things black & white which I’m definitely a fan of (Kate Spade anyone?) and has just started her blog! Go show her lots of love!

The Miller affect

Gap, Mockingbird Station

So glad I got to meet Amanda of The Miller Affect! We got to chatting and found out that we are practically neighbors. Amanda has great style and shares the best blogging tips. It’s great that she is sharing her tips and tools as she grows her blog. Hopefully we get to link up soon. Click to follow her ASAP!

Megan Weaver

Megan is a photographer + blogger who excels at both. I just love her blog design! She shoots some of the best bloggers in Dallas and her work shows why! I’d seen her work on blogs and Instagram so it was exciting to meet her in person. If you need a photographer, Meagan is your girl. She is also a great resource for photography + creative business tips, all featured on her blog.

These are just a few of the great girls at the event! There are so many more talented ladies to follow over at Dallas Blogger Collective.

You’ll notice the burger as the featured image…I felt it was my duty to have a burger on #NationalBurgerDay. My uncle over at Burger Junkies would be disappointed if I didn’t!

Connect with some new blogs & have a great weekend!
Stay haute,

Monday Musings.



May 18, 2015

I did so much research this weekend – I spent most of Sunday catching up on Mad Men before the finale and scouring the internet for ideas, tips, & tricks. So much so that I didn’t end up writing this post until now….it’s a little late in the day but you know the saying, “better late than never”. The endless stream of data available for consumption is just amazing. Starting a business, growing a blog, there is so much to learn! It wasn’t just a rabbit hole of YouTube videos (those are dangerous), but I gained so many valuable, actionable tips to help me launch this new phase of my career. Because of all of the great information I came across, I’d thought I would start a new series highlighting of interesting things I’ve found in the week prior. Links might be helpful, informative, or pretty, and just fun.
