Friday night, I met up with my blogging beauties, Bethany, Magen, Mishelle, Monica and Nina. We dined at Smith & Wollensky's (my first time ever) and since it was Houston Restaurant Week, I got an appetizer, entree and dessert for $35 (plus tip, of course). It was delish! I FINALLY started using Instagram and now I know why ...
Outfits
The Not Feeling So Hot Outfit
I haven't been wearing pants a ton lately, but on days where I'm tired or feeling kind of "blah" I sometimes opt for a skinny pant because it's easy, stretchy and comfortable. This outfit is a little dark for the hot weather, so I decided to add my turquoise bubble necklace to add some color. Blazer- Gibson @ Nordstrom ...
Neon After Summer?
I've been talking a lot about fall lately because a lot of my readers have asked about transitioning pieces into fall. Neon is the perfect example of something that's tougher to bring into fall. I paired my neon pink sweater with a deep burgundy skirt and added warm, gold accessories---a perfect way to wear neon into ...
Striped Blouse For the Win & We Got a New Car!
I blogged about how much I love stripes last week and when I saw this gorgeous striped blouse on fellow blogger and teacher extraordinaire Tara from Mix and Match Fashion, I just had to have it...plus, it was 50% off! Blouse- The Limited (on sale!) Skirt- J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt Shoes- Nine West Martina Necklace- c/o Stella ...
Weekend Shopping & Brow Planing at Michael Kemper Salon
I've had the busiest Saturday, but I LOVE being productive, so I'm not complaining. I woke up, had a bowl of Fruit Loops (don't judge) and cup of coffee and then I got ready and had H shoot a few outfits for a fall trends story I'm working on with CultureMap. After that, I dropped off my husband at this fantasy football draft and ...
Stripes & Lace
I absolutely adore my recent purchase of the rugby stripe boatneck tops from J.Crew. Though someone told me they are dry clean only (I didn't notice when I got them) I can get a few wears out of them before I have to send them away for cleaning. I love the way the bold, thick stripes look. Today I paired the preppy top with lace and ...
Bright Into Fall
It's still summer and it's still hot and I'm milking that for all it's worth. That means wearing as much white, bright and neon as I can before I start getting weird looks (though, thankfully, the fall color palette is full of brights so I'll be able to carry a lot of my items over). When I was getting dressed this morning I wanted to wear a ...
Baubles & Bubbles
My bubble necklaces from GroopDealz finally came in after a long wait, but I'm thrilled with them. They really dress up a tee and add something fun to an outfit. I wore my turquoise bubble necklace today with a simple gray tee just to show what an impact it makes---and I paired it with simply black slim dress pants, a skinny gold belt ...
Sunday Snaps: The Workout That Never Happened
I had the laziest Sunday of all time. I got out of bed and then proceeded to lounge around until about 1PM when I realized I had late lunch plans with some of my blogging friends (hi Magen, Mishelle & Bethany!). I got ready and even threw on my workout clothes so I could head to the gym after our late lunch for a good Sunday ...
Saturday Snaps & J.Crew Fitting Room Photos
This afternoon, we went to the Apple store to pick up my MacBook Air and get it all set up and that's where I'm blogging from right now. It's been a major adjustment for me but overall I am getting the hang of it (sort of). I thought that having the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the opposite side would be my largest issue, but it's moreso ...
