It's A Timing Tragedy

Out of Time Man by Mick Harvey on Grooveshark

Happy Friday! I wore this outfit back when I visited my brother in Nashville, and I chose this song because I listened to it over and over again on the trip and it reminds me of that time! These photos were taken by my brother at The Parthenon at Centennial Park. I had such a blast that week and I wish I could go back!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with lots and lots of shopping, which means it was great!

Lately I've been obsessed with this new Willow & Clay jacket. It's lightweight and I've literally been able to wear it with anything! It might be too hot to wear outside in Texas right now, but my office is always freezing cold, so it still comes in handy. These photos were taken at my photo shoot with Ben Leal in Deep Ellum over a month ago when the weather was still a bit chilly!

Happy Friday! I'm so sorry that I've been terrible at updating my blog this past month. I went to Nashville to visit my brother, and after that I've just been swamped with several graduation parties and events! I definitely have to learn to multitask and manage my time better if I'm going to keep this up, and I promise I will!

These pictures were taken by Ben Leal at our photo shoot over a month ago, and I was excited about this outfit because the weather was just starting to warm up at that time. This outfit just screams summer, don't you think?

Happy Friday! I'm so glad the weekend is finally here. I'm even happier that I'll be off from work for over a week because I'm going to Nashville tomorrow to spend time with my brother before he graduates from Vanderbilt University next Friday. I'm so proud of him!

These pictures were taken by Ben Leal last weekend. Ben was such a wonderful photographer to work with, and I love how the pictures turned out! What do you guys think?

Happy May everyone! Here's my last outfit from my shoot with Ross Visuals. I enjoyed wearing this outfit because it's as comfortable as it is trendy! I also recently purchased this super cute Oscar Wilde top from The Orphan's Arms, and I'm in love with it already. I can't stop wearing it over and over again, which is why I chose this song for today. I'm "stuck on repeat"!

This is another outfit I wore during my photo shoot with Ross Visuals last week. I felt super comfortable in my army inspired outfit, which made it all the more fun. We were also lucky to spot an army green Jeep to pose next to!

I added my floral headband to give this outfit a girly twist. I'm not a very crafty person, but I actually made this headband myself, which shows how easy it is to do if you want to create a similar headband! Of course, I had to add my favorite combat boots by Steve Madden to complete the look!

Lace, Dots, && Bows

PHOTOS BY ROSS VISUALS

I felt super girly strolling around town covered in lace, dots, and bows, and I absolutely loved it! I'm crazy about my Rachel Leigh bow bracelet, and I knew I had to have it when I saw Blair Waldorf sporting it on Gossip Girl. Speaking of Blair Waldorf, this outfit is so "Blair," isn't it?

I also decided to change up my hair for Spring/Summer! I have been wanting to try ombre hair for a while and I finally went for it. What do you guys think?

These photos were taken by Scott from Ross Visuals. I had a great time shooting with Scott, and the pictures turned out great! Stay tuned for more pictures from our photo shoot later this week.

Lace Bralette && Damask Shorts

2013-04-19T12:39:00.000-05:00

I'm so happy to finally be off of my blogging hiatus, and I'm excited to start posting regularly again! I finally got my Nikon D5100 as well as a new blog layout to start back fresh. Hope you like it! Of course, I still have a little more work to do, such as adding information to my About page and other navigation bar pages, but that will be done over the weekend in time for my next post!

These pictures were taken a few days ago by my friend Zoey with my new camera. I had such a blast shooting with her! The weather has been getting a lot warmer in Dallas, so I decided to wear my VS lace bralette as a crop top with my high-waisted damask shorts. Of course, I had to add a blazer for a bit of cover up as well as fighting the cold indoor air conditioning!

I'm also excited to announce that I will be working with a few Dallas photographers for my photo shoots and featuring them on the blog. Stay tuned! In the meantime, I will be running my first 5K tomorrow... I'm very excited, but I hope I am in good enough shape to finish it without having to stop too often!

BA Star Eye Shadow Palette

2013-04-02T16:16:00.001-05:00

I recently received this lovely Natural Shadow Palette from BA Star and I've really enjoyed using it. The palette contains 3 mineral shadows (Bronze, Cocoa, & Nude), 2 gel glitters (Gold & Crystal), and a double applicator. It's long lasting and still looked fresh after a long night of dancing!

The BA Star Eye Shadow Palettes are already super affordable, but BA Star was kind enough to offer my readers a 50% off discount code! Simply go to this page, and use the discount code: BBSMOKY

PS. I'm still working on getting a new layout and revamping the way I run my blog, but I promise I will be back to posting regularly starting Monday!

Mad for Plaid

2013-03-12T10:41:00.000-05:00

It has been forever since I've blogged. Things have been so crazy and hectic the past few weeks, and I decided to take a mini hiatus in order to come up with new ideas to improve the blog and change things up a bit! I probably won't go back to posting regularly until next week because I'm going to use the rest of this week to continue working on planning and executing the changes I've thought of, including creating a new blog layout! It'll be a busy week ahead for sure!

I've also done a bit of shopping recently! I got the boots and headphones I wrote about in my last post. I can't wait to feature them on the blog! I also bought materials to create my own floral crowns. I'm excited about wearing them in all sorts of different colors in upcoming posts!

Hope everyone has a great week!

My Wish List

2013-02-21T14:58:00.000-06:00

I've spent the entire week sick in bed, so I haven't gone out to take any outfit photos. Instead, I decided to make a collage of everything that's on my current wish list!

1) Steve Madden Troopa Boots- I'm absolutely in love with these combat boots. I currently have a similar pair in dark grey, and now I'm in search of brown ones. This pair by Steve Madden is perfection.

2) Infinity Ring- I've been on the lookout for a cute infinity ring, but preferably one that's a bit more delicate than the one pictured above.

3) Nikon D5100- I'm still taking all my blog photos with a simple point & shoot camera. I'm looking for a DSLR camera, like this Nikon D5100, to finally have some higher quality posts!

4) Cambridge Satchel- I've been wanting one of these bags for a while and of course I'll be getting it in red!

5) Topshop Tapestry Dress- I love the colors of this Topshop dress. It's perfect for spring and can easily be dressed up or dressed down.

6) H&M Denim Jacket- I'm probably one of the few people in the world who does not own a regular denim jacket. That will change soon!

7) Urbanears headphones- I've been looking for a good pair of headphones to jam out to some music with. I just love the beautiful colors that the Urbanears headphones come in. Must have!

8) Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. Shoulder Bag- My current black shoulder bag broke when I was in NYC last week, so I'm in the market for a new one. I've been wanting a Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. bag for a very long time, so I've decided to get one in black to replace my other bag!

9) Butter London Nail Lacquer- Butter London is probably my favorite brand for nail polish, and soon I'll be stocking up in all sorts of bright colors for the spring!

What's on your wish list?

Layers on Layers

2013-02-18T12:51:00.000-06:00

Happy Monday! I got back to Dallas yesterday, and I actually had a good first night back. I went out for some tasty crawfish with my friend James, and it definitely helped ease the sadness of leaving NYC! I always feel sad when I'm back home from any vacation.

I haven't had time since I've been back to take any new photos, so these outfit photos were actually taken last week. I just love the layering of a button-down shirt, sweater, and a big statement necklace! This look is clean-cut, classic, and great for any occasion!

My First NYFW

2013-02-16T17:06:00.002-06:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful week! I'm sorry I've been a bad blogger this week, but I have been super busy having a blast in NYC! I have missed New York so much and it's great to be back!

The Carolina Herrera show was at night, so I stopped by the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tent earlier in the day to take some photos before the sun went down! I was wearing my red Steve Madden coat to bring out the red flowers in my dress. As you can already tell by now, I love red! I wore this outfit throughout the day because it's warm and cute, but still comfortable enough to walk around the whole city. I ended up wearing something else to the actual show though.

The Carolina Herrera show was phenomenal! I had such a blast! There was a wonderful party before the show where I enjoyed champagne, macaroons, and other great hor d'oeuvres. At the show, we got to see the lovely Spring 2013 line, where I fell in love with the dress pictured above. It was such a great experience for my first Fashion Week ever!

I've been spending the rest of the week with my friend Krista and we've basically been exploring the city while devouring mouthwatering food! From filet mignon to New York style pizza and sushi to sandwiches, we've enjoyed it all... and gained a few pounds. But hey, it's worth it, right? Speaking of food, we're about to go out to dinner for my last night here. Unfortunately, I'll be back in Dallas tomorrow, but I'll definitely be back to NYC soon... permanently!

Airport Attire

2013-02-12T10:35:00.000-06:00

So, this is the longest I haven't posted since I started this blog. 4 days! It has just been super crazy around here! Anyway, today is finally the day I'm flying to NYC to catch the end of Fashion Week and spend time with friends! I had such a hard time packing because I don't really own very many warm winter clothes since our winters aren't very cold in Texas. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the cold NYC weather (apparently it's snowing again tomorrow) while trying to look cute, but I will surely try. All I know is: layer, layer, layer!

As you can see above, I love the color red. Hence my red car and my red suitcase... and hence the name of this blog! Anyway, this is the outfit I'm wearing today at the airport. I always try to dress warm and comfortable on flights for obvious reasons, and today is no exception!

My Little Boots

2013-02-08T13:33:00.000-06:00

I'm so happy that it's finally Friday! This weekend will be a very busy one with lots of things to do and lots of people to see, and I'm very excited for it! Not to mention, I still have to go shopping and figure out what to wear for my first New York Fashion Week ever and pack for my upcoming trip in a few days!

I love this outfit because it's very girly and feminine but also comfy and cozy. It's perfect for these sunny but slightly chilly days we've been having here lately!

Blue & Green Bag

2013-02-06T14:50:00.000-06:00

I'm so excited that New York Fashion Week is starting tomorrow! I'm especially excited this year because I will be in NYC for the last two days of it and will be watching the Carolina Herrera show! However, I'll be watching all my other favorite designers online starting tomorrow. Can't wait to be inspired!

I love this outfit because it's extremely casual yet chic. My favorite part is the Pour La Victoire handbag. I LOVE its colors and the fact that it's so easy to carry wherever I go! The bag looks small, but it is surprisingly roomy. I can fit my wallet, camera, and sunglasses in there!

Wearing: Top- Express; Shorts- Vintage Levi's; Shoes- Blink; Bag- Pour La Victoire

Pop of Color

2013-02-04T16:02:00.000-06:00

Hey all, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It's warming up here in Dallas, so this is the outfit I chose for my weekend activities. No jacket required! I love how my neon yellow belt and my bright green Balenciaga bag add a POP of color this outfit. I'm also a fan of these monochromatic floral jeans because they can be paired with absolutely anything!

Favorite Leather Jacket

2013-02-01T14:57:00.000-06:00

I am absolutely in love with this leather jacket! I saw it on a TV show over the summer and I knew I HAD to have it. It took months for me to finally track it down, but it was totally worth the wait. I love the two-color contrast as well as the draped collar. Just looking at this jacket makes me so happy!

I added the last picture to show the lace shoulder detail that this top has, which I find to be adorable. It's a little something extra for an otherwise plain black tee.

Anyways, I'm thrilled that it's finally the weekend. It has been a busy week and I'm ready to let loose and party! I hope everyone has a wonderful SUPERBOWL weekend!!

Black and Gold

2013-01-30T12:44:00.001-06:00

So, this was the outfit I wore to party this past weekend! I love this outfit because it's very sleek and black, but has gold accents to make it a little more interesting. I felt super comfortable in this shorts and top combination, which was perfect for going out and dancing all night! I had been searching for a gold collar-style necklace and finally found one I really liked at Forever 21. I decided to add that last picture so people can finally notice that there is RED in my hair! I'll be dyeing it again soon because it's not showing up as much as I'd like on my dark hair.

Winter Florals

2013-01-28T13:18:00.000-06:00

This was a chilly day here in Dallas, so I had to pull out my warm and comfy scarf and sweater. I really love the skirt and knee high socks look, and this was the perfect day to go for it! I'm also crazy about my Balenciaga bag because of its beautiful color and its ability to complete any outfit. Although this outfit is cute and feminine, it's also very comfortable, which is what I always try to go for when I decide what to wear!

Wearing: Sweater- Talbots; Scarf- Cotton On; Skirt- I Heart Ronson; Handbag- Balenciaga; Shoes- Blink

Heart Tights

2013-01-26T13:08:00.000-06:00

I'd been wanting a pair of heart tights for a while, but every pair I found was always plain black and my closet is already overflowing with black tights as it is. That's why I HAD to have these burgundy heart tights from the moment I saw them! I love them and they make any outfit just a little more interesting.

I also love my dual time zone watch with its turquoise color band. I picked it up at Nordstrom and it has instantly become one of my favorite accessories!

I'm excited because tonight we're celebrating my friend Zoey's birthday. It's going to be a night of great friends, great food, and dancing, of course! This outfit is perfect for a casual day out, so I'll definitely be changing for tonight!

Black, White, && Red

2013-01-25T12:15:00.000-06:00

I got this wonderful Kiss Nail Dress product from Influenster to test out! I must say that I absolutely love them! They were fast and easy to apply and I had fabulous nails in a matter of minutes! I've been wearing them for almost a week and they haven't even started chipping yet!

I love this outfit because it's very feminine meets edgy. If I were to take off the moto jacket and swap the boots for heels, I'd have a very prim and proper outfit indeed. The bright red top gives this look a pop of color, and the boots ensure that this outfit remains comfortable! It's perfect for a day out or a night on the town.

Wearing: Top- The Limited; Jacket- Forever 21; Skirt- H&M; Boots- Nordstrom Rack; Handbag- TJ Maxx

Hi-lo Skirt && Graphic Tee

2013-01-23T09:58:00.000-06:00

It is already starting to warm up here in Dallas, so I decided to go ahead and wear a breezy skirt and tee. I feel so free and comfortable wearing this outfit! I'm usually not the biggest fan of graphic tees, but when I saw this Maison Scotch shirt on vacation in Nashville a few months ago, I knew I had to have it! Unfortunately, I passed it up at that time, figuring that I could just find it later online, but nope! I had to call my brother (who lives in Nashville) and ask him to buy and ship it for me. Luckily, he found it easily based on my description! This outfit is perfect for a warm day, but I'll definitely have to grab a jacket tonight when I go to the super cold movies!

Welcome / Bienvenu / Willkommen!

2013-01-22T16:30:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone! Welcome to my new blog, Style Me Red. It has been forever since I've wanted to start this blog, and now I'm finally at a point where I can commit my time to it!

I'll be using this blog primarily to document my daily outfits and thoughts. However, it may evolve over time to include various other types of posts as well.

For today's outfit, my goal was to be warm and comfortable! I absolutely love this wrap scarf I picked up at Nordstrom's because it's super cute and the colors go with absolutely everything. The handbag doubles as a backpack, which makes carrying things a lot easier! To finish off the look, I'm wearing taupe wedge sneakers. They're super comfortable but still give me a few extra necessary inches since I'm a shorty! This outfit is perfect for the hibachi dinner I'm going to tonight. Yum!

Finally, I have some exciting news for my first blog post! I just found out I'm going to New York in a few weeks to catch the end of my FIRST fashion week ever! I'll be seeing the Carolina Herrera show (thanks to my awesome friends James and Paul!) and I can hardly wait. Not to mention, I'll be spending time with my lovely New York buddy, Krista!
