I have two new favorite online shops that I wanted to share with you today. Both are owned and operated by two inspiring women and their entrepreneurial spirit will blow your mind; so will their stores and pieces.

The sunset silk dress I am wearing today comes from Los Angeles based Tanya Scheer. It's currently sold out, but another one similar to it is coming soon. Tanya started by sketching and making pieces for herself, but when strangers began stopping her on the streets wanting to know where she got her dresses, she knew she was onto something. Tanya Scheer designs are absolutely gorgeous, made with high quality, soft fabrics and one of a kind silks.. Actress Selma Blair has been seen on numerous occasions wearing her maxi dresses. She has been featured on Extra TV and Desiree Hartstock, from The Bachelorette, instagrammed herself wearing Tanya Scheer. Pretty big buzz, right? I wish I could own one of every style, color and pattern. Each one is feminine, flirty and most can be worn, throughout all four seasons. I am absolutely in love with the white goddess button down and silk bougainville sun dress.

My other new fave is a fellow Texas friend. You know how proud us Texans are. So I was thrilled to get a few pieces from Cathryn Ann Designs and share them with you. She offers a dozen color options of the ever-so-popular tassel bracelet. My brown one paired with the two-toned link bracelet have become my daily wrist staples. They go with everything and compliment one another perfectly.

I am quite obsessed with her all of her bracelets, but when she added the Texas state necklace to her shop I cheered out loud. Again, it probably has to do with the Texan pride thing, but I have been searching for a small gold Texas necklace forever. Most of the ones I have seen have been an outlined state, and not solid. Right now, Cathryn Ann Designs only has the Texas one listed in the shop, but she does offer all 50 states. Just go to her about page and send her an email letting her know which state you are interested in.

Today, Cathryn Ann Designs and I are teaming up for a Instagrm giveaway. Just repost the image below to be entered to win a gold state necklace of your choice. You can grab the picture from either of our Instagram accounts @shannasaidso and @cathrynanndesigns.
