Jacket: Armani (super similar silhouette here & here) // Pants: Theory // Purse: Reed Krakoff (similar; cross body version on sale here; budget-friendly version & under $200 here )// Shoes: Armani (similar) // Sunglasses: Prada // Earrings: Loren Hope (old, still available here) // Bracelet: Alexis Bittar (similar) // Ring: Kendra Scott

Apologies y’all, this could quite possibly be my favorite photo shoot yet, and I just had the most difficult time narrowing down which snapshots to share on here!! Let’s be real here, I am in my mid-20s, there is no way I could afford Armani at full price – enter the Armani outlet store in Arizona. I discovered it over Christmas break and was in h-e-a-v-e-n. First off this jacket, I just can’t. It’s insane. I knew the minute I saw it, it had to be mine. It’s so soft and just perfect.

My obsession with Reed Krakoff continues; enter the Micro Boxer tote – I had my eyes on it for quite sometime and finally nabbed it with some gift cards from the holidays (it was also on sale at Saks; mini double zip cross body version available on the Reed Krakoff site for $256!) – in case you haven’t already figured it out I love a great bargain and I love the finer things in life, so it’s been fun curating a collection of pieces as I’ve gotten older that are quite special for both their namesake and the price I picked them up at!

Finally, if you are a Houstonian and haven’t been to the Biscuit Home paint wall, you are missing out! Definitely one of my top suggestions for a Houston city guide. The colors are beyond and just so fun for a backdrop. Plus the area of town is teaming with great restaurants and unique shops. Biscuit Home itself, is just so adorable and a great place to pick up linens, gifts and trinkets; giftables for those in your life or maybe just yourself (I recently got this border boudoir sham to add to my bed). Happy mid-week friends, we’re almost there, we can do it!

    Love this jacket – it’s not something you see everyday, and it’s hard to find pieces like that that still are classy and timeless like this one! Lovely & fun post. 🙂 Xo, Alison
