Ruffle wrap LBD for Date Night | Running in Heels

Cyber Week Deals

Black Friday is no longer just a day, but an entire week. There’s no more waiting in a line at 3am outside of your local mall until the doors open. No more fighting with a crazy mom over the last Victoria’s Secret PINK pants. It happens, and it’s nuts. While I could ever understand why people did those things, I did understand how exciting it was. I worked several Black Fridays in the mall, and believe me if you don’t feel the excitement when you open the store gates at 4am, you do feel slightly terrified. I think I felt a little bit of both. Though, now you can go online at just about anytime to see the cyber week deals and stumble upon a sale on any site. I listed them below here for you but you can also scroll through some of my favorite pieces!

Holiday Dresses for Any Style

Holiday style is one of my favorite topics of the season. It’s funny because growing up I only dressed up for church on Christmas eve and my family’s annual Christmas party. Even then I’d wear a favorite sweater or a matching Christmas dress that matched my sister’s, which was quite a while ago! Now, I get to attend events and parties where I need these gorgeous dresses, so I compiled my favorite holiday dresses for any style this year!

Casual Weekend Outfit

Thank you to Y’allsome for sponsoring this post, Casual Weekend Outfit, and thank you for supporting the brands that make Running in Heels possible. As always, all opinions are my own.

You may not realize it from looking at my blog or Instagram feed, but I actually live in t-shirts! I love coming home after work and changing into something comfortable to walk the dogs or write a blog post. Loving fashion, I also want my t-shirts to be soft and cute! This is the perfect casual weekend outfit for fall!

4 Tips to Travel in Style this Holiday Season

The holiday season is full of traveling to see family and friends across the country. If you’re going to travel, might as well travel in style! As usual, my primary concern is comfort, so I opted for a lightweight sweater and my most comfortable jeans! The more important piece of your travel style is actually your luggage! If you’ve ever had a zipper break or a wheel fall off at the airport, you know exactly what I’m talking about!

Why You Need Sweatshirt Dresses for Fall

Until this week, I didn’t know how obsessed I was with sweatshirt dresses for fall. I bought this one a few weeks ago and was waiting until it got cold enough to wear it. The inside is fleece, so I was going to roast in the 80+ degrees. This week the weather finally reached 50s in Dallas and started to feel like Fall, so I broke out my sweatshirt dresses!

How to Mix Textures (Not Prints!)

I’m not big on prints, but I love to mix textures! This fuzzy sweater paired with the suede skirt is definitely a great way to get more dimension in your outfit, and mix textures, not prints!

Ruffle Wrap Dress from Express, The Easiest LBD for Date Night

There’s nothing quite like the challenge of finding something to wear for date night. My go to is usually a pair of skinny jeans, black heels, and some version of a black, white, or grey top. However, those outfits are good for regular dinners, drinks, but every so often we go out somewhere nicer. For a birthday, anniversary, or for when we just decide to switch it up a bit! This ruffle wrap dress for date night was so perfect when I saw it! It’s one of those dresses that you need in the back of your closet to grab anytime that you need it.

The Business of Blogging

Running in Heels started as a creative outlet. While it still serves that purpose, early on I developed a niche and a plan to grow my blog as a business rather than use this as a diary. The point of this post, The Business of Blogging, is to explain to you, my readers, co-workers, friends, parents, and anyone else that it’s not about free stuff: Blogging is a business.

Style Hack: How to Wear a Dress that is Too Big

Story of my life: something doesn’t fit right. If you saw my insta-story this weekend you saw my parade of sac dresses that were all too large on me. There was just too much fabric for my frame! When I got this dress in the mail, I thought about not posting it, but then I realized I could talk about my style hack: how to wear a dress that doesn’t fit.

NYFW SS18 Day 4

It feels like New York Fashion Week was so much more than four days, but this last day, NYFW SS18 Day 4, was one of my favorites! It started with Francesca Liberatore at Skylight Clarkson. I loved it, and hated it. There were a few prairie chic pieces the collection could lose, but there were some stunning pieces, like the black and gold gowns! Next up, was Dan Liu at The Galleries at The Dream. I was amazed by the finale piece! All of the models wore peacock feathers as eyebrows which livened up the otherwise simple looks. I took a break after that show to head back, pack up a bit, and change.

NYFW SS18 Day 2 Street Style | Running in Heels

NYFW SS18 Day 3

For NYFW SS18 Day 3, I woke up early Saturday morning to get my hair done at Caravan Style Studio in the Gregory Hotel. They braided and waved my hair using OGX Beauty products, and even gold wire wrapped in the braid from a craft store, just like on the runway! That morning I went to my first NYFW SS18 Day 3 show at Skylight Clarkson, Taoray Wang.
