Happy Monday, you guys!

Seriously, where did the time go? How is it October already?!

I wouldn't call myself an avid thrift shopper but about once a month, I like to hit up the vintage shops in the Montrose area hoping to score some hidden treasures. As usual, thrift shopping is a hit/miss. Sometimes, I can leave with a bunch of great items and sometimes with just one item or none at all. This past trip, I left with just this little shift dress by MBMJ. I thought this dress with all its cute details and vintage look was such a score. So did all the sales girls/guys at the counter. They were ECSTATIC to see that I chose to buy this little dress. It made me question why they were so happy that I purchased it. Were they just glad that some sucker finally bought this unwanted, heinous dress or did they really love it? These questions didn't bother me long because really, what matters is that I love it and got a great deal for it!

It's starting to finally feel like Autumn and I am enjoying every moment of it. I just thought this emerald top paired with my faux leather midi skirt would be the perfect outfit for the cooler temperature.

 

Happy Tuesday and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Happy first day of fall eve!

The weather has cooled down a bit but there's really no signs of Fall here just yet. I am sad that summer is ending but I am excited to be able to wear more jeans (even though I love my dresses) and boots. When I saw this Free People top, I knew I had to get it. The crop length makes it so that it doesn't look too frumpy on. It's been so long since I've worn bell sleeves and I am loving all the 70's inspired trends coming back. Next, maybe I'll have the courage to finally try on the Flare denim trend again!



Sunny Disposition

Dress: Billabong / Purse: Ted Baker / Sandals: Joie (love this) / Sunglasses: Ray Ban via Museum District Eye Center (use code 'eyelovepartydress' to get 10% off)/ Necklaces: Baublebar

I'm really going to miss Summer when it's over.
As excited as I am to start wearing boots again, Spring and Summer will always have my heart. We've been trying to take advantage of the sunny weather we're having and make the most of every weekend. Since the summer heat in Texas usually lasts all the way till October, it's been surprisingly cool these past few weeks and lots of rain. I am going to miss just throwing on a dress and go.

Onto something more exciting, I've been loving my new Ray Ban Erika I got from the Museum Eye District located right here in Houston. I recently lost my favorite pair of Ray Ban Aviators so I thought it was as good an excuse as always to shop for a new pair. As much as I loved my aviators, it wasn't the perfect fit for my face shape. After trying on numerous Ray Ban styles, the Erika was the perfect fit for me.
The Museum Eye District's online site is currently running their soft opening special. All their eyewear will be discounted 20%-40% off of retail prices. You can use code 'eyelovepartydress' to get an additional 10% off on top of their sale prices. This deal is running for a limited time so don't miss out!

Helloooo Monday.

Hope you guys had an amazing weekend. We had lots and lots of rain here in Houston, so it has been extra humid lately. My friend told me about this beautiful mural (one of my favorites so far) in Downtown Houston so we thought we'd stop by and snap a few pictures. My new open back tank from Wildbloom Boutique was perfect for the extremely humid temperature we've been having and I'm in LOVE with the bright color. The colors of the flowers also happened to compliment the color of my outfit so nicely. As luck was on our side, as soon as we finished our little photo session and jumped in the car, the rain poured down pretty heavily!

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Monday!

The days are just going by so fast I cannot believe it's already almost mid May. Wore this super comfy outfit to run errands all day Saturday and then went to the Garden Center to do some last minute Mother's Day shopping. For some reason, the plants in this little area we walked by in the Garden Center reminds me of Dr. Seuss's Whoville. One of my favorite movies that I have probably seen like over 30 times is 'Horton Hears a Who!'. So I figured it was the perfect spot for a little photo op! After all the errand running and shopping, by 9 p.m, I was pretty much ready to throw in the towel and jump into bed (yes, I'm a grandma!).  

 

Hope you guys had a fun Mother's Day weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!

Happy Monday!

 

You know how much I love a delicate and feminine dress. So you can imagine my excitement when I was introduced to New Friends Colony. A feminine and modern women's contemporary brand based in Los Angeles. New Friends Colony carry garments with very intricate, hand beading details combined with very feminine and classic silhouettes.

I am just smitten with the beaded shift dress I am wearing above. The classic fit is so flattering on any body types and will never go out of style. The beading details is just AMAZING and makes the dress that much more special. This style also comes in my favorite color, blue! This dress is currently on sale at Revolve Clothing with other beautiful pieces.

 



Hot Day, Cold Shoulder

What I love more than wearing shorts during these warm months is that I can pull out all my cold shoulder tops. I loved the trend last Spring and Summer and I still love it now!
