Lela Rose Floral Top
Lela Rose Gold Leaf Floral blouse (in a dress), Skinny White denim (on sale), Christian Louboutin Patent Pigalle heels, Karen Walker Helter Skelter sunnies, Vince Camuto Pendant necklace, Giles & Brother Railroad Spike Pave bracelet, Celine clutch
This top. Oh this top! I love a good basic but when I come across something as exquisite as this top, I am speechless. I usually wouldn’t say this is my style, as it is quite feminine, but it stopped me in my tracks. There are a few things that I can’t refuse in life, one being beautiful and unique pieces of clothing. Lela Rose knows how to do this! Her pieces are all made with the most beautiful fabrics and classic silhouettes. Each design feels like a one of a kind made just for you! This Texas native can seriously do no wrong. Even the Duchess agrees!
Before my wedding my sweet mother-in-law took me on a little spree at Lela Rose and I scored two of the most beautiful dresses. I wear worship them. Since quality and beauty often times comes with a price tag I was sure I wouldn’t have the budget to buy another piece any time soon, but then I received a sweet surprise from my mother-in-law. Remembering our shopping trip before my wedding and how much I loved Lela, she sent me a little goodie. I will cherish this top and think of how lucky I am to be blessed with in-laws like I have! A beautiful piece with extra meaning – does it get better?

Dark Green Inspiration
I love white. I love wearing it, I love it in homes, I love seeing it in photographs, I really just love it. White is clean, fresh, refreshing, airy, and light. So, if I am this drawn to it, why do I find myself in dark colors? My bedroom is a midnight blue, a majority of my closet is black, and I love dark nails. I preach for the love of white but actually only practice in all things dark. Okay so that sounded morbid but really, I love dark! I think in theory white sounds amazing but I love a little color in my life. I need a little color in my life. Yes white is all of the aforementioned but when it comes down to actually living and breathing it – isn’t it a bit vanilla? You know, a little too sterile? I think there is always a place for it in your life but a girl needs some color!
If we are talking in color, I am definitely more drawn to darker hues. They feel comfortable, cozy, chic, and daring. So instead of a home or wardrobe in white, which is aspirational, I am sticking to my darks. At least for now! And luckily, I have found a new boutique where I can have it all. I can have my dark now and save the whites and brighter colors for later (shall I ever change my mind). This new place is oh so inspiring and has me dreaming in color combinations. My favorite right now? Dark, dark green! Isn’t it just luscious? I could wear it, live in it, and decorate with it. While I can’t share the name of this new boutique yet, I will spill the beans soon (and in a BIG way) but for now just know, they are changing the beauty scene! I was able to preview the colors early so I can’t wait to share more! I hope you all like what I got cookin…
