IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN DALLAS

I finally bit the bullet and purchased a pair of Ray-Bans. I've spent too much money on cheap aviator knock offs from various stores only to see them scratched up or broken with a few days. So after much research between the classic aviators and the large classic aviators, I settled on the brown & gold large classic aviators. I love them! They are perfect for my face shape. Especially since the smaller, more classic size, tend to make a round face look even bigger. I'm glad I decided to purchase them, and at $155, they weren't as expensive as I was anticipating. Easy to save up for the green & gold ones I'm now obsessing over.

LEOPARD + MIMOSAS

Got these gems a few weeks ago and haven't worn them for fear of ruining them. These are such a perfect statement shoe that I had to post them for everyone to see. I got them from Nordstrom Rack. They are by Jessica Simpson were about $50. Pretty inexpensive for such an amazing addition to my rotation.

HOLLYWOODS NEWEST STYLE ICON- LUPITA NYONG'O

I am obsessed with Lupita Nyong'o. She's new to the movie scene, with a big career ahead of her, but she's already earned her place on Hollywood style icons. From the first time I saw her in the red Ralph Lauren at the Golden Globes, I was mesmerized by her. Her hair, her flawless complexion, and they way the dresses just mold to her impeccable body. (She's got killer arms!!) But my favorite look is her Oscar look in the baby blue Prada gown that was designed for her. Just so magical. I really don't think she's had a bad look so far. Everything she wears looks amazing on her.

I can not wait to see what she has in store for us in the future.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER VISITS THE BIG D

On Sunday, Sarah Jessica Parker made a stop here in Dallas to promote her new shoe line exclusively available at Nordstrom. This is as close as I could get amounts the hundreds of fans all lined up to just to get a glimpse of her. It was fight just to get the press to move a tiny bit so we could get a few pics. I'm glad I stuck it out long enough to just be in the same room within a few feet of her. She's just as lovely in person as you see on TV. And rumor is, she's just as sweet as you would think she would be.

Oh and the shoes were nice as well. I really want the ones that resemble the urban shoe myth. SATC fans understand. Now I can mark seeing SJP in person off my bucket list.

PORTeR

I finally made it to the bookstore this weekend to pick up the newest magazine to hit the stands, Porter. Porter is brought to us by the online fashion power house, Net-a-Porter. I haven't had the chance to read every single page yet, but what I have thumbed through, I am in love with. Now I did have to look up some details on what sets Porter apart from other fashion mags like Vogue & Harpers Bazaar, and it seems that most items featured in Porter can be bought from their website. Supposedly the Net-a-Porter app & the magazine together, are interactive. I do feel like the content & fashions seems a little more relatable to the average person than say Vogue. I love looking at Vogue, but the majority of the items, I just don't know when or how I could ever afford them. But with Porter, the items seem more accessible & real. Perhaps it's that I know the Net-a-Porter app can give me exactly what I am looking at or it's the way the fashions are featured.

I think Porter has a home run with this first print. I can't wait to see what the next 5 editions will have.

For more details about using the app in conduction with the magazine, go here.
