The Beauty Breakdown: Everyday Glam
So, I know what you’re probably thinking. EVERYDAY glam? Oxymoron much? But there’s simply not a better way to describe it! There are women who feel most comfortable and confident without makeup on, some with a little makeup on, and those like me who love a completely full face of makeup. No matter your preference, I’ll show you some of my favorite products to help you get glammed up and out the door every day! Even though I love a full face of makeup, that doesn’t mean that

Lights, Camera, Dallas... 📷
We braved the bitter January cold for a shoot with Arden Beth Photography downtown Dallas last weekend. After booking my annual Texas New Year trip, I sought out one of my favorite North Texas photographers, Arden Beth. I KNEW I had to shoot with her after stumbling upon her work online. Her photography speaks for itself, but she’s one of the sweetest, kindhearted women I’ve ever had the joy of meeting. She was down to shoot, explore and play... oh, all while capturing some s

STYLE: Mixed Metals + Metallics
Whether you’re headed to the club with your besties, a date night out on the town or an after-hours work event, muted/brushed metallic tones are a fresh and unexpected take on minimalistic style for typical neutral wearers like me.

Holiday 2017 Fashion Favorites
The smell of cinnamon. When I start burning that candle or simmering my loose "recipe" concoction of sweet holiday-esque spices passed down from generation to generation, I know it's finally Christmas time! If you know me, you know I love candles - especially the Christmasy marshmallow fireside, vanilla sugar cookie, pine, and spiced apple cider - and I LOVE pulling out those candles as soon as fall starts showing it's colors.
What's your favorite kick-off to Christmas? Eve

Tony Awards 2017 Red Carpet
We saw some major trends happening on tonight's Tony Awards red carpet - navy (especially for men), bold patterns, more natural makeup looks and TONS of Michael Kors reigned supreme throughout the night. Summer is finally here! That means long gone are the days of heavy foundation, exaggerated contouring and statement features on the red carpet. Make way for a beautiful bronze glow and a focus on these stars' radiant skin! Ready, set, glow ✨ Here's a recap of some of my head-

I Dream of Katy
There are few fashion mavens that consistently get it right as often as Katy Perry. From head to toe, Ms. Perry is always spot on - put together, though often unexpectedly; somehow, it just works. As of recent, the "Chained to the Rhythm" singer has stepped up her makeup game with the launch of COVERGIRL's Katy Kat collection. Though many of her most anticipated products have yet to be launched, it's safe to say this collaboration could just be the boost that CG has been need
