In Love with TexasRoots Boutique

Who else is in love with this stunning dress from TexasRoots Boutique? I can’t decide what I love most about it – the bow back, mint color, or flattering shape.

TexasRoots has an incredible story behind it that I’ll share later in this post, so keep reading!

I have a few more posts featuring items from TexasRoots to be sharing with you over the next few weeks including a giveaway for a gift card! Be sure to stay tuned for that because I can’t wait to show you all more of these amazing pieces.

I feel honored to share the story behind TexasRoots. Created by the lovely Kelsey Keefer in September 2013, the boutique has flourished into a great success. I came across Texas Roots by simply searching around on the internet for cute boutiques with country flair. When I found Kelsey’s shop, I fell in love with everything. From adorable dresses to unique accessories to even cool home decor, Texas Roots reflected my personal style right on point.

Kelsey took a break from college the second semester of her junior year to pursue her passion of opening up a clothing boutique. Being just twenty years old, Kelsey has a lot of life ahead of her and big plans for her future. When I’ve talked to her, she seems incredibly happy making a living doing what she loves. She enjoys every aspect of the challenge of building a business from scratch. When obstacles occur, it keeps her driven and motivated to always continue to learn and improve. To her, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing from a happy customer.

These are the kind of stories I love. Hearing about a woman my age starting her own business is so inspiring – it really motivates me to dream up some big plans for myself. When I hear success stories like this, I just feel so inspired.

Please check out TexasRoots and support this amazing woman. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. Stay tuned for future posts featuring clothes from there coming soon!

This dress was provided to me by TexasRoots free of charge. All opinions are my own.

Obsessed with Faith Christine (plus a discount!)

Amazing dress from Faith Christine Boutique

This stunning orange dress is from one of my favorite online boutiques, Faith Christine. Their entire inventory looks like it was taken out of my dream closet – pretty lace, pastels, and just a hint of country flair. The owner, Faith Hoye, is the cutest person ever! She has a shirt that says “Thug Wife” and posts pictures on her Instagram of her two golden retrievers Lucky and Irish. How adorable is that?

Anyways, she was beyond generous to send me this dress to style (buy it here!). The color is gorgeous, I can’t get enough of it! The details like the crochet bell sleeves and bow-tie back take my breath away. I really love how you can style this dress so many different ways as well. In these pictures, I made it a little more fancy, but it has that country feel that allows it to be dressed down with a pair of cowboy boots. I also think it would look so cute with a brown floppy hat, turquoise necklace, and brown wedges!

Be sure to follow Faith Christine on Instagram and check out their Facebook page!

I’m so excited to share that my readers will get a 15% off discount when they shop at Faith Christine Boutique and use the discount code Madeleine15!!! It was so hard for me not to buy everything there, so good luck ;) Hurry too because they’re having a HUGE winter sale right now!

Christmas Eve Outfit Under $150

Christmas Eve is my favorite night of the year! Every year, we have a nice family dinner and then go to the 11pm candlelit church service. I absolutely love the music and everything about that service – it really is so amazing! Then, we go home and get to open one present – it is always a new pair of pajamas. My dad then reads “The Night Before Christmas” to us and we head off to bed. Church is always fun because everybody gets super dressed up. I love picking out my Christmas Eve outfit and this year I had a little fun shopping for an entirely new outfit. I had a budget of $150 which I met, but I went slightly over it with tax.

The first item I purchased was this amazing skater dress. From B.P. at Nordstrom, it is the perfect LBD – fitted where I’m the smallest (my waist) and then it flares out where I’m the largest (my hips). It has a high neckline which I usually tend to stay away from, but I thought it would look beautiful paired with a statement necklace. It’s fancy enough to be dressed up for special occasions, casual enough to be worn during the day, and modest enough to be worn for an interview. Very versatile, flattering, and high-quality, it’s shocking that it was only $46! I paired it with a beautiful royal blue statement necklace also from B.P. Nordstrom that was $24 to add a pop of color and liven up the neckline.

This is the skater dress I bought from B.P. Nordstrom for only $46 paired with a lovely statement necklace also from B.P. that was $24

Next, I had to find shoes. Most of my heels are too high to be appropriate for church, so I wanted to find some that were lower but not frumpy. Immediately, I saw these amazing blue pointed-toe suede heels from B.P. Shoes at Nordstrom. They matched the color of the necklace perfectly, fit well, and didn’t look too old lady-ish. I fell in love! I had to buy them. They actually were not that expensive for the quality of the shoe, coming in at $70. Without tax, I came in at $140 – under budget! It was so fun to pull together an entire outfit for a set budget and really get quality items. I had a blast and I can’t wait to wear this outfit tonight.
