The must-have pieces from Eva Longoria’s new collection

Hello lovelies,

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a great week! I have had an overwhelmingly amazing last few days! I have been working on new content for the blog and YouTube channel, I can’t wait to share with you guys! Speaking of exciting things last Friday I got to meet the one and only Eva Longoria! She is the sweetest and is absolutely gorgeous!

Eva Longoria held an event at The Limited at the Houston Galleria, where she showcased her new clothing line. And let me just say it is absolutely amazing! Her idea for the collection was to be able to wear the items to work and then later unwind with some wine 😉 it is PERFECTION.

I am so in love with her whole collection so making a list of my top fave looks was so hard but I managed to get it done!

Here is a link to all the looks I am loving:

You can never go wrong with a LBD.

This Quilt Patterned Vest is perfect for Fall!

You can never go wrong with a graphic tee, specially if wine is involved 😉

Business in the front, party in the back with this gorgeous French Cuff Shirt

P.S. There is a 50% off sitewide sale at The Limited, which includes select items from Eva Longoria’s collection. Hurry the sale ends at midnight! 😉

Hope this inspires you!

Love,

The PERFECT transitional dress

Hello lovelies,

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend with your loved ones! I did a lot of eating and lounging around on Monday, best way to celebrate Labor Day 😉

As you all know we are quickly approaching the time of the year where it’s all about PUMPKIN SPICE everything! I am excited for all of the fall trends this season and even more excited about pumpkin spice everything! Now I know we aren’t fully into fall yet but that doesn’t mean you can’t start adding fall pieces to your wardrobe!

This is the perfect transition dress that I actually purchased at the beginning of summer at Charlotte Russe. It is no longer in stock but I found some very similar ones here and here, they are on sale so that’s always a plus!

Since I live in Houston, the weather can be a bit bipolar at times. In many places it may be a little chillier in September but here it tends to still be a little on the warmer side. Therefore, I think this cold shoulder dress is perfect if you want to get in the fall vibes but it’s still a little too hot and humid where you live. When I wore this dress that was the exact weather conditions so I decided to wear these heels from JustFab but for cooler days you can totally add some booties like these.

Hope this inspires you!

Love,

How to wear: Shirt tied around your waist trend

Hello lovelies,

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a great week so far! I have had a more relaxed, stress-free week and I am not complaining 😉

For today’s look, I am going to show you how I rock the “shirt tied around your waist” trend. This trend is so cute and automatically adds some sass to your look. There are many ways to rock this trend. My absolute favorite is pairing it with dresses and skirts! My recommendation is to wear bodycon dresses and skirts to make the look more put together. You can either dress it up or down, it is a versatile trend. you can wear plaid shirts or solid colored shirts it is totally up to you. In most of my looks I wear plaid but I also like the solid colors. I’ll go into outfit details below!

I hope this inspires you!

Love,

For the first look, I wore this on an overcast day. I went for neutral colors. The striped shirt, flannel and nude skirt are from Forever21. The heeled booties are from Target

I love mixing and matching different prints. For this look I went with this black and white striped bodycon dress. The taupe purse is from JustFab and the shoes are the same as the previous look.

This look is what I like to call Casual Chic! I am obsessed with it, it’s perfect for a day when you’ll be doing lots of walking. The top is from Target (it was only like 10 bucks). The skirt I recently purchased at Forever21 and it is on SALE for only $6.90!! The jean jacket is from Old Navy. The sneakers are from Calvin Klein.

The final look is perfect for a lazy Sunday! The t-shirt is actually a men’s shirt but I love wearing it as a t-shirt dress, it is from Pacsun. The flannel is from Target. The white sandals have been my summer obsession and they are from JustFab.

Pop of color

Hello lovelies,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are off to a great week. I know most schools in Texas started the 2016-2017 school year, so I hope it hasn’t been too hectic for ya! Speaking of hectic I’ve had a few hectic and stressful weeks but thank God it’s nothing I can’t overcome. Also, I’ve been thinking of writing more personal posts just about what’s going on in my life or how I get through certain times in life. What do ya’ll think? Let me know if that would be something you all would like to see on my blog 🙂

For this week’s fashion post, I went for an all black look with a pop of color. This look is perfect for a casual weekend with friends or your special someone 😉 The shirt dress is from H&M, they have similar ones here. This shirt dress is a must-have in your wardrobe, it can be dressed up or down for any occasion. The crossbody is from Kate Spade ♠︎  it’s my fave at the moment!

Now…for the POP OF COLOR, these have been my favorite pair of flats lately, I mean come on what’s not to love about them!? The color RED is perfect, for any season. It automatically adds a vibrant style to the look no matter what you’re wearing! I purchased this from JustFab but they are no longer in stock 😦 you can find similar ones here 🙂

I hope this inspires you ♡

Love,
