weekend uniform

October 29, 2015

With each new season, we typically land on some kind of “uniform”. With full time jobs, that uniform is what you will find us in 90% of the time on the weekend. A weekend uniform is meant to be comfortable, but we still like to look put together. For Fall, that weekend uniform consists of an oversized sweater, skinny jeans, cute flats and a big tote bag.

To be honest, I have found it harder than I thought to find a good go-to maternity uniform. In my 28-week bumpdate, I talked about some recent maternity finds. These jeans are one of them. I quickly found out that I can’t do full panel maternity pants, so the search for side panel elastic started. These jeans from A Pea in the Pod have been a great addition. The dark denim wash makes them dressy enough for casual Fridays at work, and also great to run around in during the weekend. On another maternity style note, I have officially reached the point where most of my non-maternity tops are too short, so I am on the hunt for some more cute maternity top options. In the mean time, I am sticking mostly to longer shirts and dresses. I would love to hear what maternity top styles you found worked best!

victorian details

October 8, 2015

Feminine dresses are typically one of the favorite items in our closets. In our opinion, they seem to be the most fun thing to wear and are usually associated with a fun event. One trend we are loving for fall is Victorian details. This dress has all those Victorian details: romantic lace, pretty detailing and velvet trim. And the best part, although the details play to a Victorian look, the length of the dress makes it modern. Topshop has always been one of our favorite places to find great priced, but still good quality, trendy clothes. They have great items if you don’t want to splurge on a certain trend!

These leopard lace-up flats are another one of our favorite finds from Topshop. The price point is amazing and they have been worn with just about everything: casual dresses, jeans and now this Victorian dress. When the weather starts to get cooler in Dallas (We’re wondering if this will ever happen!), we plan to pull out our favorite pair of over-the-knee boots to wear with this dress! In case you missed it, earlier this week we shared our top ten boots for fall!

top 10 boots for fall

Last week we hosted the Neiman Marcus Willow Bend Shoe and Handbag Event, and let’s just say we cannot wait to break out our boots for fall. We loved seeing the different ways to style shoes for fall and like every year, we get most excited to wear new boots!

With each new season, we like to splurge on a new pair of boots that will take us through the season. The Stuart Weitzman 50/50 boots are here to stay, and so are over the knee boots. But, with each new season comes a little variation, like fringe and Beatle boots this year. We’ve been scouting online to find the top 10 boots for fall, and we’re hoping to splurge on a pair this week. The front contenders in our book: these embellished ankle boots, and these open-toe boots. Of course you will be seeing us in these over-the-knee boots, and our go-to flat 50/50 boots. Now we want to know which styles you are most looking forward to wearing!
