new years – Mackenzie Billington

Agave

January 9, 2017 by Mackenzie

New year, ~~new me~~ new accessory. And by accessory, I mean my glamorous new boot. I wish I had some wild story about how I ended up with a boot on my foot, but sadly, I don’t. I tripped on the sidewalk in Deep Ellum about a week ago – crazy, I know. If that doesn’t describe how graceful I am, then I am not quite sure what does! I spent New Years Eve at Urgent Care getting x-rays, but luckily it was not a fracture (it’s just a sprained ankle + foot/toe contusion). I am so excited to get this boot off ASAP.

I am obsessed with agave plants. I think they look so cool, and there is no denying that they make a pretty unique backdrop. When I saw these gems on a recent drive with my sister, I couldn’t help but pull over to take a few photos in front of them. With everything in the winter time being so brown and dead here in Texas, it’s always refreshing to find something with a little bit of color!

When I found this striped jumpsuit, I knew I needed it in my life (best part? it’s on sale right now!). I absolutely love jumpsuits because they are so easy, but they feel so put-together. I really loved the rich burgundy color of this specific jumpsuit, and the fact that it had vertical stripes. As a short gal, it can be hard to find pieces that makes you look taller & leaner. Narrow, vertical stripes are super flattering and definitely help elongate you (fun fact)! I was so excited to discover my new jumpsuit matched perfectly with my latest find- a cropped burgundy fur jacket. Fur jackets are having their moment right now, and I am loving it. I purchased the burgundy fur jacket on Free People a few weeks ago because it was under $100! Sadly, it is sold out right now, but hopefully it will be back in stock soon!

For a night out, I would totally pair this jumpsuit with a black leather jacket and black velvet heels. For an extra bit of edge, add a dark burgundy lip. I also think it would look killer in the spring time with some neutral wedges and a clutch. I love that the jumpsuit can be worn year round.

I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday!

xoxo,

Mackenzie

New Year’s Glam

January 1, 2016 by Mackenzie

Velvet Dress (c/0) | Necklace | Platforms (c/0) | Tights | Booties (linked similar)

Happy New Year everyone!! It is officially 2016! To celebrate the New Year, I decided to break out my new favorite velvet dress. I thought it would be fun to style it two different ways. For the first look, I paired this gorgeous blue dress with these super fun (and super comfy) platforms and a glam necklace. For the second look, I went with black tights and black Prada booties. The second look is great for super chilly days or a more conservative occasion like church. I think the first look would be perfect for any party, nice event, or a wedding.

I want to give a huge thank you to Taylor Nicole Photography for taking these stunning pictures. She is so incredible talented and creative, and we had so much fun shooting these. If you need senior pictures or any other types of photos done – definitely, definitely check out Taylor Nicole.
