Comfy is the new black: How to wear sneakers with (almost) anything

May 9, 2018

Actually, comfy is always in for me. I love being comfortable as much as I love wearing heels and I don’t think I’m alone. I’ve noticed recently that it’s not weird to see a cute dress or skirt worn with sneakers. Or a work outfit with sneakers. The trick is in how you make the opposites, if you will, attract. Trust me, they don’t always attract. It takes the right amount of dressy at the top to match a worn out…

Stripes & Summer

April 26, 2018

Stripes have been calling my name lately. I actually just realized my last few posts have been about something striped! I don’t know if it’s the comfort of knowing you can turn a simple outfit into an effortless piece of work just by adding a striped blazer or pants or just the fact that stripes are a classic. You can’t really go wrong. I have a few favorites currently in my closet and these pants are one for sure. They have…

how I wear my wooden watch: 3 simple ways

April 13, 2018

Wooden Wrist Watch You may have noticed I’m not one to own a whole lot of watches, or accessories for that matter. I like to keep my outfits as simple as possible and if I do incorporate accessories, they are usually the center of attention. I have been wearing my Jord watch non stop and have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to pair with my outfits! I have the Cassia model, which I love because the face is a pretty…

Feeling Blue stripes (2 looks)

April 11, 2018

It’s April 9 and 50 degrees here in Texas. I’ve already put all my winter clothes away so I’m left with the light jackets I keep in my coat closet all year. So naturally.. I started thinking about summer and all the glorious sunlight that comes with it. I’ve always wondered if I love the sun because I was born in August.. is that weird? Anyway, I’ve also started thinking about our future travel plans, which hopefully involve a cruise…

The Striped Blazer Two Ways

March 31, 2018

Have you noticed blazers popping up everywhere lately? It seems like they’re always in or at least not forgotten and I would say they’re definitely a staple piece and a must have in every wardrobe. I have a few blazers that I must admit are not designer brand, but have definitely survived all of my closet Spring cleanings. They are my ride or die when I need a cute cover up for work or something to keep me warm on those unpredictable weather…

the coatllection

January 5, 2018

Hello everyone! Two things you should know about this coat: it’s my moms, and it’s from her insanely large collection of coats. To say she is obsessed with coats would be an understatement. She collects them and I’m sure she can fill up a closet with them. Anyway, she let me borrow this gorgeous one the other day partly because I am the complete opposite and don’t collect coats. It’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t bother buying them because there is hardly any cold…

santa, baby

December 12, 2017

Santa, baby give me some cold weather! We took these pictures the week before Thanksgiving and it was  probably 85 degrees outside, but somehow it looked like Christmas in every corner of the street. I love how festive everyone around me has been, which makes me love the holiday even more. When I was growing up, we didn’t really have any set Christmas traditions. Sometimes we didn’t even have a tree up. Gasp, I know. It was mainly because my parents would take my brothers and I…

Fall Florals

October 24, 2017

The last thing I think about when choosing what to wear during Fall season is florals or anything that gives me summer vibes, because (probably) like every other person living in Texas, I’m psyched about the leaves changing color and the temperatures finally lowering down, even if it’s just a few degrees. Last week we attended a wedding and something gravitated me towards picking a floral outfit. The pants and blouse have the same exact pattern so when you pair them together…

Mintysynth turns 25

September 11, 2017

So I turned 25 the other day and I honestly feel no different, other than the humbling feeling of being alive another year. When I was younger I remember waiting in anticipation for my birthday month to arrive. My mom and brother were great about making my birthday extra special. There was always some kind of morning surprise and then cake for dinner. I remember my mom telling me that when she was younger, her birthday was spent like any other day. I guess her family didn’t see…

Blue Ruffles on a Summer Day

July 3, 2017

I had the sweetest time with a friend of mine the other day. We walked around Bishop Arts Districts (what she claims as her “hood”) and it was just the girl time we needed. She loves photography and obviously has an eye for it cause she took some amazing shots! We drank a few drinks and ate some ceviche at Gloria’s and ended our time there at a favorite spot of ours, Wild Detectives, which you must visit if you’re…
