Can we just take a moment to point out how every piece of this simple yet fun outfit is either on sale or less than $100… woo hoo!
White After Labor Day
I’ve always been a huge proponent of white after Labor Day. Who says rules need to define you in fashion? They do not need to, trust me.
Little Red Dress
I may’ve been inspired by the pages inside my Porter Magazine for this shoot in Dubai, as it’s rather editorial for a blog outfit post, but nonetheless, I absolutely love it. There’s something about a little red dress that inspires confidence.
Dubai Desert Dunes
There was something seriously so magical about shooting in the Dubai desert dunes. Maybe it’s just the silly American in me, but truly it felt like I was in a bit of a dream.
Adored // ClutchIt_ae
While in Dubai, I had the pleasure of meeting some local Emirati fashion industry professionals. ClutchIt_ae was an Instagram find, and it was great to get to meet with the gal behind the brand, Dilara over coffee one morning and learn a little more.
Mosaic Off the Shoulder
Are any of y’all Project Runway watchers? I’ve been addicted since it started. Well, if you’ve watched, you might remember Houston-based designer, and winner, Chloe Dao. She has a boutique down in Rice Village in Houston and before heading off to Dubai I stopped by to check it out.
Magic Carpet
One of my bucket list items for Dubai was to shoot in the desert. Needless to say, we accomplished that dream of mine and I am so excited to finally share some of the pictures with you today and more in the coming week or so!
White Eyelet Dress
Holding onto summer as long as I can, and what better way than in a white eyelet dress. This dress is vintage, but it was so easy to find multiple styles that were almost identical for the season. Funny how what goes around comes around, right?
Pink Co-ord Set
I may be a little late to the matching co-ord set ballgame, but I saw this little pink number at one of my local Houston boutiques, Cakewalk, and knew I had to have it.

A little Home in Dubai
Welcome to Dubai! If you aren’t following along via social media or this is your first time on Adored by Alex, you may not know that the past week I’ve been in Dubai for the trip of a lifetime! Of course I couldn’t resist bringing a little home in Dubai with me…
Travel Beauty with Ulta Beauty
The idea of traveling halfway across the world was seriously daunting to me. So after some great conversations and research via friends & bloggers whom I love, I got together on paper what I needed to keep my beauty routine on track. Travel beauty with Ulta Beauty is easy and with a game plan I was in and out of my local store in a snap!
