{ beach weather}

This week I had an opportunity to work in Rehoboth Beach. I love working near the water, and try to do it once a week if weather permits. 

On this short trip, I hauled my paperwork, sketch pad and pink sunnies to the water packed in my newest travel necessity- the Nena &Co weekender. Warning: if you don't want to speak with strangers, this isn't the bag for you. ;) it was a major distraction to all who came in contact with it, waitresses, beach goers and my clients all ended up with the website in hand after coming up to ask about it. 

Met a lot of nice locals today- who will probably all have the same bag on my next visit ;)

My Chanel Secret... Rice and Beans Vintage

She's here. The newest member of my little Chanel family has arrived.

 I have a Chanel secret that I am reluctantly sharing with you today because I know you'll buy it all up on me, but it's too good not to share the love.

{ GASP! }

I'm in love. I found her at an online shop called Rice & Beans Vintage. The owner has been a client of mine for a number of years now (I told you, no one has better clients) so I have been stalking the site for some time now. Their selection is always well-curated, which helps when seeking out the  perfect designer bag, and what I like most about it is that they have a layaway option for those who know the importance of an investment piece but don't want to wipe out your bank account when taking the plunge.

Honestly, that's amazing. Read that again slowly and process it.

...Right? 

There. I've spilled my chanel secret. 

Visit, Rice and Beans Vintage but promise to leave some goods for me.

But by the way, it gets just a little bit better, because they are offering my readers 15% off their entire site by entering the code DALLAS during checkout. I mean, that's 15% off your next chanel bag just by dropping my name. you can thank me later.

the next step: winter inspiration

{ UGG Lou } { UGG Fabrizia }

When my friends at UGG asked me to help launch a really campaign they are doing over on pinterest called #TheNextStep, which is setting out to inspire women everywhere to take the next steps in their lives - wherever that may take them, I was immediately on board. Cool concept, no?

With cold weather right around the corner, it's time to prep your closets for Winter, and while early winter is fun, it's easy to get stuck in a rut with clothes which can make us feel less than great. I like to always dress up, even if I'm just running to meet a friend for coffee or if I'm staying in the office all day. 

My next step? keeping motivated and feeling good in the cold. What's yours? Well, UGG is giving all of you a chance to tell us.
