I kind of took a break from blogging last week. I don’t know why, but every once in awhile I get a little burned out and need to take a week off to refresh and re-motivate myself. Thanks for your patience and for all of the sweet ladies who sent notes wondering if I was okay. I assure you, all is well, I was just tired.
I’m excited to post a series of photos this week from a shoot I did for CultureMap.com. I was part of a series they did on Houston style blogger’s fall must-haves. My fall must-have was anything polka dot!
I styled three outfits and they picked this one to feature (I’ll post the other outfits this week!):
Top- J.Crew (similar)
Skirt- Forever 21 (similar, another cute option, love this too)
Shoes- Zara (similar w/studs, similar, similar, similar)
Necklace- Banana Republic (similar)
Bag- Kate Spade (buy it here)
Read more about my pattern mixing here, on CultureMap! You’ll also check out what other Houston style bloggers are craving for fall!

Love this outfit especially the small touches of color. I have similar pieces in my closet…a black and white polka dot skirt and a black and ivory striped top…can you mix white and ivory?

I love the outfit Veronika! The pink is just the perfect pop of color.

Hi Veronika, I love your J. Crew pave bracelet! I was wondering your opinion…it's hard to tell from your picture, but it looks like you are wearing a mix of gold and silver jewelry. I want to get the J. Crew bracelet but I typically wear silver and my watch is all silver. Do you think the bracelet would look ok with a silver watch? Am I being too obsessive? Ha! thanks!

Absolutely love your Zara shoes! They look awesome. Are they comfortable??? I'm used to wearing high heels, but can you walk easy and how about the feel around your toes…???

Will you be trying on the Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls's designs? I can't wait!
