One thing I love about Houston is that we have the most incredible brunch places. I am a huge fan of Eggs Benedict and get them nearly everywhere I go.
It’s also a city with a lot of incredible bloggers and we like to get together from time to time to chat. It’s a gorgeous day here in Houston so we made reservations at Backstreet Café and enjoyed mimosas, brunch foods and conversations galore!
I was joined by Magen from MMMStyle, Monica from Classy & Fabulous, Katy from Sugarlaws, Shasie from LiveLifeinStyle and Bethany from Southern Chic Style. Magen’s gorgeous little twin girls joined us too—they were definitely the cutest gals there!
So, what does a gal wear to brunch with other stylish ladies…in hot temperatures? A maxi dress, of course! Easy, breezy and so comfortable.
Here’s a photo from our brunch (thanks to Katy @sugarlaws!)
For anyone local—I highly recommend the mixed berry mimosa there—YUM! I hardly ever drink alcohol, but when I do, it’s almost always something with champagne (I also occasionally drink Riesling wine). I also want to recommend the blood orange mimosa at Benjy’s on Washington and the pink champagne with the hibicus flower at Coppa—probably the best champagne drink I’ve ever had in my life.
Anywho…here are some photos I took of my outfit before going out for brunch (I can already tell this dress is going to be a summer staple for me!)
Dress- Charlotte Russe (a steal at $26.99! but got it awhile ago)
Wedges- Cynthia Vincent for Target
Necklace- Regina Pierallini
Bag- Kate Spade “New Bond Street Florence”
Belt- came with the dress

Veronika.
Love your outfit! :)xxx
I love the dress! Looks super cute on you!
How fun! Looks like you have a little fan!
Love it! Is that a new bag or have I just not been paying attention lately? I really like it!
It is new 🙂 just got it last week! KS had a friends and family sale so I got it for half off!
I love that dress, and actually just ordered a really similar one from Forever 21.

that dress is SO cute!!! let me know how it looks when it comes in 🙂 I'm sure I'll see it on your blog!
Love the dress but hate the shoes. They look cheap and they just don't work with the outfit
I love your new kate spade bag! I really want it after seeing it on youtube

Did you get your hair done again? Looks lighter in these pics! I love your outfit!
Nope! It's just the lighting 🙂 thank you!
Great outfit – I can't wait for the weather to warm up here in Canada so I can take all my summer clothes out of hiding!!

You look fabulous! I haven't been out for brunch in forever, but this post totally makes me want eggs benedict now!:)
I happen to LOVE the shoes! Did you get them recently?!?! Love the bag as well! Beautiful as always!
Sadly the shoes are from over 2 yrs ago when Cynthia Vincent did a collection for Target.
I love the shoes! Saw them on your closet tour and then immediately tried to track them down…so sad they are from a couple seasons ago. Love the outfit! I have the dress in black 😉
You look lovely as always hope you are doing well. And yes, I may have bought the KS bag in Hydrangea after seeing it in your haul video! I got an extra 15% off for signing up for their emails whoo hoo! It's really lovely and I can't wait to get it.
You look lovely as always! Hope you are doing well! I ordered the KS bag in Hydrangea after seeing it in your haul video today. I saw the pink one in the store but the purple one is just soo pretty and it almost seemed like it would be a more functional color. Also got 15% off of the sale price- so much better than full price! Keep being your lovely self xoxo
You look gorgeous! I love that dress on you. The color is pretty with your hair.
I live in Houston and love Empire Cafe, Barnabys, Downhouse for bruch.
Have you ever been to the Tasting Room? They have incredible brunch! We do a lot of our meetups there because it accommodates our large group. You look great! Hope you can join us for a meetup one day 🙂
Everyone looks so great! Love the outfits. Your dress is pretty, Veronika. 🙂
You look lovely! I really like that color blue on you 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE the outfit and the bag is divine. Great bright colors!! xx
I really love this brunch look! I normally wear either a maxi, cute top and shorts, or a short dress with flats for a summer brunch. Totally in love with your bag!
beautiful! i love that color on u!
Love the look. I did a weekend look post as well. It was rainy in NYC so not as fun as your dress. Hope you had a great weekend.

Your waist looks so tiny here!
It looks like you had fun, I also love going out for brunch.
I have a question for you Veronika. How do you find the time for everything you do? How do you keep the house, work full time, update your blog and do You Tube video's? Do you have outside help with the housework?
I'm asking because I also work, have a husband and the housework is always backing up. I want to hire help but my husband can't stand the thought of other people in our house.
Thanks!
Beautiful dress! How fun!
Best,
Colleen @ Meet the Sullivans
Super cute!! Yay for posting about our brunch date! Can't wait for the next one!
