Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Personally, I found my thoughts returning so frequently to Friday's prairie inspiration board, I just had to do a little virtual shopping trip. Think leather and lace, Texas style!
For a vibe that's rugged yet refined, mix ladylike frills with a vest borrowed from the gents. Of course don't forget something silky against your skin! Embellished bobby pins, a crochet headband, and a charm necklace add a touch of heirloom quality glitter, while an oversized watch and round sunglasses complement the outfit's masculine side. Sturdy lace-up pumps can handle even the dustiest roads, while a bridle-inspired satchel gets an unexpected twist with metallic quilting!
Stay tuned this afternoon for a Hill Country interior!

I love the hair accessories!! Probably because the extent of my hair doing is either down or up in a ponytail, so I always admire all those cute headbands and clips since I never wear them!

That bag is awesome. Period. Makes me want to mosey on down to Texas and partake of some down home goodness. In style, of course.

Um, yes? Yes. I <3 the Texas Hill Country. Probably because I live there. =) And it's been so hot lately that the only things I'd recommend wearing are the silky lingerie and sun glasses. Unless you go inside an office building; in which case you'll need a winter coat. Ah, Texas.
Any plans to come visit the Lone Star State?
