Rodeo Season aka my favorite season in Houston

If you’re from Texas, Houston specifically, then you know that Rodeo Season is one of the best times of the year in our city! It gives us Houstonians the opportunity to enjoy some AMAZING food as well as some of the biggest stars from all genres of music. If you ever get a chance to come to Houston during this time of year, I highly recommend making it a point to attend one of the concerts. Not only do you get to enjoy the largest indoor rodeo in the world, but a huge old-fashion carnival filled with rides, games and of course my favorite part, THE FOOD!!

Rodeo season also gives us the chance to display some of the best western inspired fashions. From cowboy boots and hats to fringe skirts and jackets, you see it all! People really break out of the uptight big city feeling and embrace the inner country style that every Texans has!

In honor of Rodeo season I couldn’t resist shooting a fun country rodeo inspired outfit, that gives you a glimpse of some of the styles you’ll see at the Rodeo.

Key Pieces Every girl Should Have In Her Closet

When you’re a lover of fashion, you can find yourself making impulse purchases based on the latest trends.  Let’s face it, trendy can be fun and exciting when it comes to fashion. But, that can also present somewhat of a problem when it comes to only shopping for trends, considering some trends go out of style as soon as they begin.  My biggest rule of thumb is to always mix trendy with timeless pieces that will always be in style.  Below are a list of some of my go to timeless fashion pieces that every girl needs in their closet.

You can NEVER go wrong with a classic white button-down shirt. This piece is the perfect day to night transition piece. Throw this classic under a power suit for the office or with a pair of jeans for a Happy Hour to unwind. If you are starting your fashion journey this is a key piece to begin with.

A black blazer may be the single most important piece any woman should have in their wardrobe. The versatility of this piece is unmatched. Whether you have a classic tailored, cropped, or my new personal favorite boyfriend fit, you cannot go wrong with this tried and true stable. Run, don’t walk to your nearest website or mall if you don’t already have this blazer in your closet!

A pointed toe pump is one of those pieces that separates a girl from a woman. I don’t know what it is about a pointed toe pump that just exudes a “She’s got her s**t together” vibe. This is another piece that can be worn to the office or for a night on the town with your significant other or your girls. Whether it’s high end or a more affordable brand, this shoe always seems to elevate any type of outfit.

One of my go to pieces for any season is a classic denim jacket! A denim jacket can make even the simplest of outfits instantly chic. Once you add a classic denim jacket to your wardrobe, eventually you can start to play around with different styles and colors of this tried and true wardrobe staple.

Probably one of the most important pieces, if not the MOST important piece every woman should have in their wardrobe, is a good fitting pair of jeans. Whether it’s you prefer skinny, boot cut, or flare leg, a great fitting pair of jeans can take you very far. Jeans have stood the test of time in fashion, and is one of the few pieces that you can take from day to night.

A piece that I recently noticed was missing from my wardrobe was a classic trench coat. This coat can be worn so many different ways, but always takes the outfit up a notch.

I don’t think you can ever have enough black slacks in your closet! There’s so many variations to this staple piece currently! From wide leg to my personal favorite straight leg, there are so many ways to wear this key piece.

Of course I had to save the best for last…the classic LBD (Little Black Dress, in case you were wondering)! Personally, I can never get enough of a LBD. From work, to cocktail, to formal, there are so many different variations of this dress. I think this is why you will see this on every wardrobe staple list there is!

Why I Decided to Start a Blog

Taking a leap of faith is something that so many people struggle to do on a daily basis. There are so many doubts that go through a person’s mind when starting a new venture.  There’s already someone that does this, what if they do like my style, I’m not going to be as good as this person, etc. etc. These are all thoughts that can go through your mind, but ultimately you have to realize, “WHO THE HECK CARES?” I’ve come to realize that if the desire has been put in your mind and heart, than nothing should stop you from taking that leap of faith and just do it!! It may start a little slow , but if you don’t go for it then you’ll never know.

This was my thought process when I decided to start a Fashion/Lifestyle blog. People have always told me that I should start a blog, but I was always apprehensive. Towards the end of the 2018, I started getting the urge more and more, but I have to admit I was still super scared. I think a turning point happened for me when I saw one of my best friends quit her Corporate America job to pursue her dream of becoming a personal trainer. Seeing Vanessa put her mind to accomplishing her goal only ignited that desire in my heart.

Although I’m still trying to navigate this blogging world, I’m excited to see what the future holds in this new adventure. I think that so many people get consumed with negative thoughts on how to step out on faith, when ultimately all you need to do is just take that first step. 

I hope you all enjoy going down this blogging road with me and maybe take your own leap of faith!

XOXO, Natalie

Fashion in your Thirties

I remember when I turned 30, I thought to myself, does this mean my personal style has to change now that I’m officially an “adult”? I quickly realized that style shouldn’t have an age next to it, although I will say I tend to look for more timeless pieces these days.  Personal style is what makes you feel good about yourself when you face the world.

I know that can be easier said than done, when everyone feels like they’re a critic these days.  Although we hate to admit it, I know that we as women tend to dress for the approval of others. As I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten to a point where I’m trying dress for myself and not focus so much on others opinions.

The best thing about fashion is that it is truly interpretive. What I love may not be the next persons’ cup of tea. Does that mean that either of us are wrong? Heck no!! I always try to use that philosophy when I am shopping. The best shopping advice I can give is to think to yourself “do I like the way I feel in this item of clothing” Once you’ve answered that, nothing else should matter.
