My Go-To Mardi Gras Attire

I'm currently on my way to New Orleans for yet another Mardi Gras. I'm pretty sure I tell myself every year I'm not going to go this time around, and then I think about the beads, the friends, the bars, the food, St. Charles Ave, parades, drinks... Should I keep going? So needless to say, I caved yet again.

This year, and lets be honest, every year, I go for comfort. But comfort doesn't have to translate to sloppy and ugly, ladies. This 'fit pretty much sums up my go-to. Simple, comfy, yet stylish. A light jacket, cotton top, jeans, and most importantly, comfy (but still cute) shoes for ALL the walking. SO MUCH walking. Mardi Gras might be the only event where all you do is drink and eat but could possibly lose a few lbs because you NEVER stop walking. Bring it on, Bacchus bitches.

Have you ever been to Mardi Gras? What do you wear??

Black or Navy

I wore this little number to a baby shower over the weekend. It's the most comfy dress. It looks navy in these photos but it's actually black. But I heard navy is the new black (or was that orange, or pink?) so let's just pretend I didn't tell you it's black so you guys can think I'm cool for wearing navy.

The Leopard Wall

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fun Halloween and a great weekend. I sure did. Here is my final look I styled for Minnetonka Moccasin. These are probably my favorite pair of the three mainly because they are super versatile and outrageously comfy. And how cool is this mural?! I had a little too much fun shooting these photos I was so excited about it. There are so many gems like this one all around Austin. Love it.

You still have until this Friday, November 8th to enter to win one pair of mocs that I styled up. For details and to enter the giveaway check out my post from last week here. Talk soon!

Canadian Tux

Happy Halloween, y'all! I decided to dress up as a Canadian this year. Just kidding, that was actually last year ;) But for realz, this is the 2nd look from my blogger spotlight with Minnetonka Moccasin. Denim on denim has been one of my fave trends for quite some time now. And of course I chose my favorite trend of all time for the second pair of mocs I picked out. Leopard print or as I like to call it, my neutral. I love the look of denim and leopard together. It's just cool.

Oh, what's that you say? You wanna be cool too and rock some leopard this fall? Well you totally can... fo free! All you gotta do is enter my Minnetonka Moccasin giveaway here. Good luck!

Mermaid Blue

Blazer- Sabo Skirt, old (similar) / Top- old (similar) / Skort- Zara / Heels- Vince Camuto (similar) / Bag- Rebecca Minkoff / Sunnies- Ray-Ban

When I won these Vince Camuto heels from Shea Marie and the sweet people over at Rank & Style I thought they were going to be a dark cobalt or deep purple color. As you can see they are anything but dark or deep, haha! I proceeded to Google this exact style and the color is in fact called 'Mermaid Blue.' I normally wouldn't buy such a bright shoe, but ever since they arrived I find myself constantly grabbing for them. Who would've thought?? With this particular outfit I decided to go with two different shades of the same color, which I love doing because it's so unexpected. And this floral blazer from Sabo Skirt goes with these two blue hues almost too perfectly, don't you think?!

P.S. I know it seems like every blogger has this Zara skort in white, but I love the cobalt blue one so much more. I don't have to worry about getting it dirty (let's be honest, I'm kind of a mess) and this color is pretty much my favorite right now.

Channeling Coachella

Romper- Free People (old) / Denim Vest- Levi's / Booties- Madison Harding x lust for life / Bag- B. Makowsky / Necklace- Forever 21 (similar) / Rings- Silpada / Watch- Michael Kors / Lips- Mac 'Pink Nouveau'

Who else is feeling super inspired by Coachella style after seeing all the photos of fashionable festival goers this past weekend? Kate Bosworth made me melt a little bit... This outfit is definitely something I would wear if I were there. The romper is so airy and comfortable. And a denim vest and cut-out booties are a no-brainer in my eyes. Topped off the outfit with a side braid and chunky jewelry to "hippie" it up a bit. Buy me a ticket, I'm on my way for weekend 2... I wish. Anyone actually going this weekend? Wait, don't tell me. I'm already jealous.

Black & White + Red

Top- Zara / Leather Leggings- Urban Outfitters / Heels- Zara / Bag- B. Makowsky / Necklace- H&M / Rings- Tiffany, Vintage / Skull Bracelet- Urban Outfitters / Watch- Michael Kors / Lips- Stila 'Beso'/ Nails- Essie 'Blanc'

My go to. Black and white stripes. I mentioned this outfit in my post on Tuesday and am so excited to be able to show you now! I won't lie I've worn a combo of this look at least 6 or 7 times and I'm not ashamed to admit it. The top is super comfy and leather has been my staple as of late, so of course I have it on repeat. I added some red lipstick and fun jewelry to make everything really pop. That's most important to me when styling up a black and white look. Those little details make it extra special. Hope you're having a great week! It's almost Friday again :)
