Pink Poodleing Paroozing
So Spring is officially here, and Pink Poodle is really nailing it when it comes to Spring trends. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces below that will add some cuteness to any wardrobe. And calm down all you spell checkers out there I spelt "perusing" like that on purpose! It was way more fun! This Blue Embroidered Tassel Top is sooo cute! The eyelet pattern and double layer is the perfect detail for this Spring. It is light and airy, so can easily be transitioned into summer! I think it would look great with blue jeans or white jeans, I went with white! Now, if you remember my post, 4 Makeup Bag Must-Haves For Spring, then you would have seen my twist back top sweater I was wearing. I actually bought it a long time ago but it is one of my favorites! I was so happy when I ... View Post
Stick a Pin in it! – The Benefits of Microneedling
If you are the type of person that does not value skin care then be prepared to not look your age as you travel forward in time. Fortunately, from a young age I was taught to take care of my skin and make it a habit. Now that I am aging it seems like the maintenance does not become easier or less time consuming, but nonetheless, worth it! I want to share with you one of my absolute favorite skin care treatments that you should be investing in at least every 12 weeks (at the very LEAST). The reason it is one of my favorite treatments is because you end up with really great results, but with little down time, meaning you don't have to hide under a rock for the next week after you have it done . Ready for it???? Microneedling! (Also, if you are a Dallasite then be sure to check out the video ... View Post
Signs of Spring Deuxième Partie
Guess what?!? There is more! Y’all didn’t think I was gonna leave ya hangin with only five fun pieces??? Absolutely not! Ready?! Set! Let’s Pink Poodle! Soooo, this Creme Lace-up Sleeve Top is not typically something I would go for, but sometimes I like to surprise myself, and mix things up. It was cute enough on the hanger, but then when I put it on my level of likeness went up to a 10. The lace up sleeves are so cool, I felt so edgy! haha Before I got my hands on this Grey Split Layer Top, I had been eyeing it online and then when I put it on it validated my initial interest. It is super cute and a really nice wearable fabric. Oh my gosh, this Pinstripe Peasant Top is sooo fun! When I put it on I almost wanted to dance around in it…ok you caught me, I did a ... View Post
Signs of Spring
Who is ready for Spring?? I know I am! Over the years Spring has made its way up the favorite times of the year list for me. I finally am able to more easily find pieces that I like enough to buy...the past couple of years have been a little rough. I teamed up with one of my favorite places to shop Pink Poodle Fashion to bring you some sneak peaks of Spring. Let’s start with my favorite….the Gingham Shift Dress. If you ask me gingham is ALWAYS in style for Spring! The red embroidery detailing makes it really special. I happen to have a red pair of shoes so that was a no brainer… I am really obsessed with this dress! I immediately fell in love with this Dusty Blue Knot Top. It is easy wearing, but the knot adds a level of interest. The color is perfect with white jeans, or ... View Post
A Good Southern Girl Does Disney
The nostalgia and excitement for Disney is probably one of the most valuable heirlooms you can hope to pass on to your family, as a matter of fact, it is priceless. Growing up in Disney myself, it has only been since I have gotten older that I have realized not everyone was gifted this beautiful gift. Disney is truly a magical experience in which you are able to channel pieces of your childhood innocence even as an adult. When I go to Disney, I feel like I am home. I don’t have responsibilities, bills, laundry to do, floors to vacuum, toilet paper to buy. I am free, free to ride Thunder Mountain as many times as I want and pretend like it is the first time, free to dart through all of the strollers as I cross over the bridge of Cinderella’s Castle to get to Space Mountain as fast as I can ...

Back to Brunching
The Art of Brunching.....truly a lost art. There was once a time when women would welcome friends into their home for a gathering and it was deemed something special. Floral arrangements, china and table settings. All details were addressed with care and entertaining was something that women were able to take pride in. Now, you may have read a bad word in the sentences above. Can you guess what it is? China.....Yes, somehow the recent generations have managed to turn this noun referring to beautifully patterned tableware into a nasty word that they have attempted to ban forever. Well I am here to put a stop to that. Somewhere along the way women stopped using China. I don’t know if it was fear of wear and tear, or if they didn’t want to come across ostentatious…. allow me to set the record ... View Post
