What's your favorite?  I'm really in love with the chevron pattern from Fossil.  It may not be the most expensive or most trendy brand, but their leather is always fabulous and the bags really last.  I also love the backpack trend!!  Hello 90s, nice to see you again!  I remember these trendy bags when I was in 5th grade... I'm seriously considering digging through my closet at my parents' house to see if I can find my maroon, teal and black backpack.  That would be SO HOT right now.  

mockingbird styles swim meet

What's better than a pool party in the middle of the Texas summer?  The answer is a pool party with great food and drinks, that showcases some fabulous style trends!  Enter Mockingbird Station in Dallas.  These guys were kind enough to host a Swim Meet for a few Dallas bloggers and InstaDFW photographers, and I was lucky enough to be one of the fashion influencers/ bloggers invited!

RAW Dallas

If you're in Dallas (or the DFW area) and you happen to be looking for something to do tonight, you may want to check out GLIMPSE presented by RAW Dallas at the Gas Monkey Live.  I had an opportunity to attend an event a short while ago and it was really spectacular!  The great thing about this event is that it showcases local artists in a variety of different mediums including art, fashion, music, film, hair, makeup, performance art and photography.  

Many artists had booths set up that you can browse at your leisure, while other artists where showcased on Gas Monkey's large stage.  I was lucky enough to be in the VIP lounge and had some great food and drinks available, as well as nice seating for watching the musical performances and fashion show.  I can't show all of my pictures, otherwise you'd be here scrolling for the next two hours instead of getting your tickets, but I will show a few highlights so you can get a feel for the event (Don't worry, I'll go a little more in depth with the fashion presentations in future posts).  If you're NOT in Dallas, no problem!  RAW does artist showcases in 60+ cities all across the country and even in Australia!  Check out the upcoming events calendar and see if something is near you!

Clearance Maxi

I feel like I haven't been shopping in forever!  My husband probably loves that LOL... not me!  But when you have Kohls cash, you don't pass it up!  Especially on a holiday weekend with a ton of sales!  So last Friday I ventured to Kohls, one of my favorite stores, with the goal of finding something new that was red, white and blue.  I did purchase a cute American flag shirt, which you may have seen on my instagram HERE and HERE, but that wasn't all I bought (shocker!!)

In addition to $10 Kohls cash, I had two email coupons for $5 each so I browsed both the women's section and the juniors' (don't hate, I shop both! Especially since the juniors' is often way cheaper and super trendy).  I didn't find much that I was dying over, but I did take some time to peruse the clearance racks and found a really cute Lily Rose Halter Maxi Dress in the juniors'.
