Shoe Week: What to Wear with Gladiator Heels

Summer means it’s time to shop for shoes, right?? I can’t deal with wearing the same sandals as last summer–they always get so beat up and there are always new sandal trends to tempt the hell out of me…This summer, I wanted something a little sexy, edgy, and modern-feeling, but still comfortable enough to wear […]

Sweater with Slacks (The Profesh Sweater)

So you’ve worn your sweater over a dress, with a sexy skirt, and now it’s time to get professional and style a sweater for work! Most Austinites can get away with some pretty flexible career dressing–a lot of my clients feel like they’re overdressed in anything but jeans, but here’s a great way to dress […]

Date Sweater

Sweater week continues with a mid-week date outfit because sweaters can go on dates too! I know a bulky knit isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of something sexy to wear, but (as I said in this week’s style tipsheet) you can make your bulkier sweaters dressier by emphasizing the […]

When to Invest: The Grown-Up Blazer

There comes a time when a grown-up lady needs to invest in grown-up lady clothes, and I’m starting to do this slowly, over the course of the fall, with my trusty Discover card and crossed fingers. I’ve spoken from time to time about investment pieces throughout this blog’s history, but I’ve reached a point in […]

Boots with Dress Season

It’s that time of year again…You know, when you want it to be fall so you can wear layers, but it’s still 100 degrees outside so it’s impossible to wear anything with sleeves. So therefore, I like to think of this time of year as “boots with dress season.” You can give a little nod […]

Staying Sophisticated in the Summer

Lately I’ve been wearing black and white like it’s going out of style. For some reason, it’s just easier to dress classically and simply when the temperature goes up. Making summer outfits look sophisticated can be difficult because you just want as little touching your body as possible, and if you’re like me you kind […]

Birthday Dress

So it was another birthday last week, and the only thing that softens the pain of getting another year older (besides spending time with the people I love) is getting a new dress. This year my birthday was smack in the middle of the week so it was the perfect time to sneak over to […]

Party Pants

Sometimes you don’t feel like wearing a dress, but you still want to appear as if you’re in a remotely festive mood. Those times call for polka dotted wide legged pants, obviously! I have had these woolen slacks for a few years now and get excited when the temperature drops enough for me to feel […]

Inspiration: Sparkly Holiday Outfits

This week we’re getting festive over here with some sparkling holiday getups al la Trey (my totally awesome intern). I love the combination of color with a little gold or silver sequin–so much more fun than straightforward metallic. It’s easy to do without spending a ton of money on a specific dress, too! All you […]

Winter Inspiration: Capes!

Trey’s latest board features one of my personal faves: the cape! I guess technically I’m more of a poncho-lover, but the cape is basically a poncho that’s more streamlined and has arm-holes closer to the front than to the sides. Texas weather doesn’t really allow us to get too sick of our winter coats, but […]
