Secret Garden




Neon Floral Peplum Top, Distressed Skinny Jean, and Leslie Coral Clutch c/o HAUS 131
Necklace: H&M | Watch: Michael Kors | Sandals: Zara


Just when I thought I was getting over the 'peplum trend', HAUS 131 received this one completely changing my mind! Peplum tops are a great staple to have in your closet. You can dress them up or down with denim (like I did in this post), and most importantly...they are slimming! :)

Happy Monday, everyone!

Peachy Keen










Ostrich Clutch: Madly-Yours | Wedges: Pour La Victorie  

One of my favorite statement pieces for this Summer/Spring is The Carmen Necklace from Stella & Dot. You can never go wrong with a great statement necklace, especially one with a pop of color. One of my favorite ways to wear this trend is with collard blouses. Love the necklace? Stella & Dot always has a great selection of statement pieces to choose from! Shop here.

Happy Monday,

Corner Store






 
Sweater Knit: Top Shop (similar here) | The Sparrow Dress: HAUS 131
 Leather Sneakers: H&M | Sunnies: Ray-Ban
The Pegasus Necklace, The Renegade Bracelet, and The Serpent Bangle: Stella & Dot
 
 
So my mother and I took advantage of the beautiful New Orleans weather we've been getting lately and hit Magazine for a brunch date and some serious shopping. One thing I love about printed sundresses is that you can always change up your look by layering a denim vest, pullover knits, or a linen blazer. Easy, breezy! Spruced up my outfit by adding a few of my favorite jewelry pieces from Stella & Dot. Made sure to keep it casual by throwing on a pair of sneakers. We stopped by one of my favorite Magazine Street boutiques, Armoire, and saw this old corner store across the street and thought it was a perfect photo op! Can't wait to post what goodies I scored! HAUS 131 will also be teaming up with Armoire next weekend for a Spring/Summer fashion show at the Metropolitan! More details coming soon!
 
Happy Friday,

Springtime Suede









Aztec Sweater: H&M | Red Suede Shorts: Forever 21 
Fringe Booties: Charlotte Russe | Box Clutch: Zara
 Serpant Bangle: Stella & Dot | Bracelets: HAUS 131 | Watch: Michael Kors

So I'm going to speak for all of us NOLA gals by saying one of the best things about traveling to busy cities is getting to shop at H&M and Zara! Unfortunately, we don't have an H&M or Zara, yet, so when I recently went to Dallas market for HAUS 131, shopping was the top of my to-do list! I racked up on tons of goodies, including my new favorite aztec sweater. My roommate bought these shorts from Forever a while back (but in blue), and I was completely obsessed with them. They are super thick and heavy, so when she told me they were from F21, I did NOT believe her. During my Dallas shopping extravaganza, I found them in red! SOLD! :)
I tend to wear sweaters like this with super fun bottoms like a leather skirt, colored shorts, or even boyfriend jeans with sneakers! Don't be afraid to dress up your casual/comfy sweaters!

Hippie Love










Chaser Tee and Palazzo Pants c/o HAUS 131 | Hat: Urban Outfitters 
Bag: JJ Winters | Sandals: Dolce Vita 
Jewelry: Serpent Bangle and Heart Necklace c/o Stella & Dot 
Saint Francis Necklace c/o HAUS 131


One thing you should know about me....I'm almost positive I was a hippie in my past life. Also, I la-la-LOVE a good palazzo pant! Especially when I come across an awesome print like these I scored from HAUS 131! This was my second time wearing them (first time was in the Bahamas), and with festival season right around the corner, I plan on wearing them a whole lot more. My favorite way to pair palazzo/wide leg pants are with graphic tees, denim vests, chambray shirts, or plain tanks with tons of accessories. Want to dress them up? Opt for a silky tank, throw on a statement necklace, and grab a clutch and you are good to go! 

Happy Monday!

Shades of Lavender







Jacket: Gap | Tee, Skirt, and Booties: HAUS 131 | Necklace and Bracelet: Stella & Dot  
Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Ray-Ban Wayfarer


One of my favorite things about Spring is that I get to bust out all of the pastels in my closet, including my favorite color, lavender! So naturally, when HAUS 131 received this lavender animal skull tee, I had to have it. I love the girly color with the contrast of an edgy graphic! I'm not very edgy when it comes to my style, so I try to tone down edgy elements like studs, spikes, and graphics with floral prints and soft hues. 

P.S. I love wearing ankle socks with my booties! 

Hope everyone had a great Easter!
