Somewear: 4th of July at the Club!

When I spotted this skirt I couldn’t help, but think it was the perfect festive holiday number, but then I thought it might be a little much for hanging on the dock at the lake or grilling burgers at a backyard BBQ.  However, it’s absolutely ideal for a leisurely lunch at the club!  The biggest dilemma now is who’s taking me!

Somewear: Blogger Meet & Greet

Yesterday local Dallas boutique, Tootsies, hosted a blogger Meet & Greet in preparation for an upcoming event they will be hosting at the end of the month.  (More details on that later, but if you’re in the area Save The Date for June 28th).  It was actually a wonderful way to spend a Sunday, because the store was closed and we had free rein to run around both floors and try on all of their fabulous clothes, shoes, jewelry, bags, and more.  Our quest was to come up with a killer outfit to wear on the runway during their June 28th event.  There is going to be a contest for the best dressed blogger, so very soon I’ll be asking all my followers to help me get out the vote!  Now, this outfit, isn’t the one I picked out yesterday (thought I did try the pants on there and they are so fun).  This is the outfit I feel I should have worn yesterday, instead of my typical lazy Sunday garb (so not STB of me)!  Anyway- next up is a photo shoot this Wednesday to show off my adorable outfit.  You guys are going to love it!  Oh- and side note- if you’re in the Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta area you need to hit up Tootsies ASAP, because they’re having an amazing sale!

Somewear: Beach Bar at the Hotel Gansevoort

My mother-in-law is in Turks + Caicos this week at the Hotel Gansevoort.  I wish I was there basking in the sun with her, but  I can’t complain too much about the California weather.  In beach environments it’s almost a sin to wear dark colors, so I found this stunning bright green number that I think would look great on her!  It’s beachy, but dressy at the same time which can be a tricky combo to pull off.

Black Tie Rehearsal Dinner at Southern Hills Country Club

Somewear: 4th of July Rooftop Party

I bought this dress months ago with this very occasion in mind.  It’s patriotic without being obnoxious.  And you can’t tell from this picture, but it’s backless which will keep me cool while I’m waiting on the rooftop for the fireworks to begin!
