Cobalt Blue & Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

Lately I've been obsessing over cobalt blue! I went on a major shopping spree a couple of weeks back for my cousins wedding in Dallas, and ended up with 4 cobalt blue dresses! It didn't hit me until I went to hang them up in my OCD color coordinated closet and they all went into the same section ... don't know which is more embarrassing, a color coordinated closet or that I indeed bought 4 dresses the same exact color in one shopping trip!

This was initially one of those stated dresses I bought for the wedding. I adore the 3/4 length sleeves and how flattering the fit and flare style is. The small horizontal lines added texture to the dress and felt amazing to rub my hand up and down my arm (guilty as charged, because y'all know I did that all day long!)

I didn't end up wearing it to the wedding (because let's be honest, I would have died in the Texas heat y'all!) but I did wear it to a work meeting last week and got loads of compliments. Best of all, it was a steal for less than $25 from Forever 21!

When it came to accessorizing this beauty, I kept it very simple. Normally I love to layer necklaces, add a watch to literally every outfit and pair with statement earrings on top of it all but honestly, this dress speaks for itself.

I added a waist belt to break up all of the blue and tie in my nude/rose gold heels. The statement earrings matched so perfectly, I had to showcase them by putting my hair up and letting them be the star of the show!
If you know me, you know that I'm a sucker for a good arm party. Most people feel naked without their phone and while I too am one of those people, if my left wrist isn't stacked and my right wrist doesn't have a hair tie, my whole day is caught off balance. 

You gals get it, hair ties are an essential wrist accessory and you never need it until the one time you do and your trusty rubber band isn't there ... whomp whomp!
Ladies, these heels are EVERYTHING! The heel is a perfect 3 1/2 inch height so you don't feel like you're going to break your neck as you walk around. The cut out's are on trend along with the textured leather and metallic rose gold heel. My favorite part is the ankle support - I truly feel like I could run a mile in these puppies. 

Shout out to my blogger bud, Adri from Adri Lately for helping convince me these bad boys needed to be purchased. I don't even know why I was contemplating now!

Month in Instagram - April

Happy Monday Dolls!

I usually aim to get my month in Instagram out within the first week of the new month, but alas I have once again procrastinated and now it's the end of May .... what the what? Where time has flown by to I have NO idea!

 Wine tasting with Dr. D for our 2 years
Monogram everything! I'm a sucker for anything and everything monogrammed!
 One of the perks of PR is getting to test out their new stuff - whether it's menus, a particular product or in this case the spa! Spa Montage hooked me up with a fabulous massage and morning of relaxation!
 Obsessed with the print of this ikat dress - perfect for Spring
Just threw this peach and gold combo on one morning and loved the way it turned out!
 Since I moved, Dr. D and I don't get to see our favorite fur ball anymore so him and Jeff the cat had one last bonding session
Enjoying a much needed Shock Top on my new roof patio after a long day of moving!
 In the midst of unpacking I threw in the towel, made some popcorn and caught up on Once Upon A Time
Driving to a work event I couldn't help but take a photo of the palm trees lining the road in Beverly Hills
Received my monogrammed (told y'all I'm obsessed) acrylic case from Prep Obsessed - still not sure where to use it at though on my new vanity 
My dear sorority sister Aly sent me a 3 month subscription to BirchBox .... just because! I am so thankful for the dear friends I've been blessed with!

That's it to wrap up April's month in Instagram ... hopefully May will be more entertaining :)

Good Luck!

Blazin' into Winter with Le Stylo Rouge

To get over the sappiness of yesterday's post, I've teamed up with one of my new favorite gals, Ashley from Le Stylo Rouge, to discuss blazers!

Any woman who works in PR knows that you're wardrobe consists of a TON of black. I'm not much into the whole "pant suit" thing so I create the look with black denim skinnies and a blazer, Voila!

I'll add in a pop of color and some texture varieties (gold glitter belt and snake skin shoes) to spice it up a bit, but keep it professional with minimal accessories.
 

Blazer: Banana Republic // Blouse: Forever 21 // Denim: American Eagle // Heels & Belt: Target

I'm in love with Ashley's look (and her amaze-balls ombre hair!) The leather top is nothing short of gorgeous and the way it ties in with her burgundy tuxedo blazer is sheer perfection! 

Pairing it with gray acid wash skinnies and sky high black stilettos makes this the ultimate transition outfit from work to happy hour with the girls. Who wouldn't want to buy this hottie a drink?

Get Ashley's outfit details here and make sure to show her blog some love :)

xo, Paige
