Hi Everyone. I have a massive headache tonight and I have no idea why. This weekend I traveled back home to visit my parents and grandparents for Mother's Day and I returned today. It may be from the long drive back to Houston, or the fact that I didn't eat dinner tonight. But in any case, my bed is calling my name! I stayed up just enough tonight to watch the Finale of Fashion Star to see all the designs.

Did you watch any of the show? Which was your favorite designer?

I have to say congratulations to Kara Laricks for winning Fashion Star! She's such an "out-of-the-box" designer! Love her work and she deserved it. Anywho, I hope all of you are enjoying your week so far! For daily updates, follow me on Twitter!

Swapnista Houston + Ten Dollar Outfit

If you follow me on Instagram (@brillianceblog), you remember seeing this picture from my recent trip to the thrift store:

I literally paid $10 dollars for this little get-up! I was beyond excited how these paired together.

Here's how I styled it:


Floral blouse and pants: Goodwill | Heels: Zara | Clutch: Neiman Marcus via consignment | Jewelry: Michael Kors, Target, H&M

A little over a week ago, Houston had their first Swapnista event held by Two Stylish Kays where fashionable ladies came to swap trendy clothes from each other. The event was held at Couture Blowout, which was a second hand store that carried brands like Louboutin, Chanel, and Emillio Pucci. Although I didn't swap anything, I had such a great time and I look forward to the next one!

 Swapping is the new shopping!

Timi of Naturale Chronicles was the winner of the Style Wars. I love the print and peplum on this dress!

All the models rocked all of the latest trends. Which one did you like best?

Neon + Sheer

Okay, I apologize for the late post but Scandal took over my life for an hour. My husband and I ran a few errands and got back just in time for the show. Do any of you watch it? If so, follow me on Twitter and let's watch together! I love Olivia's style. Plus, she's a woman who takes care of business. I love her!

 This sheer skirt is all over the blogging world. Discovered it at Cotton On for $10 bucks! This neon shirt was purchased at Express during their BOGO on everything in the store. I'm sorry but I can't miss a sale like that.. I just can't! lol

Hope you all had a wonderful week. Make sure you relax tomorrow so you can party on Saturday! (Cinco de Mayo)
