Though I haven't quite jumped on the peplum train yet, I do have one top, that, when belted, nearly fits the bill. It's not quite the same look, but it's a nice change over having every top tucked in. Perfect for a Friday at the office. Lace top- Zara (similar, similar, really cute option)Skirt- J.Crew (buy it ...
Outfits
The Silk Blouse
When I don't know what to wear in the morning, I always reach for a dress shirt. It's the always appropriate, can't-go-wrong choice. I especially love this silk dress blouse from Banana Republic. It's a perfect off-white color and the fabric feels luxurious and a little fancier than cotton. The other thing I love about a silk blouse? ...
If You Like it Then You Should Put a Belt on It
I've worn this dress/jacket combo a few times now and wanted to find a way to make it feel fresh when I was getting dressed this morning.I don't usually belt my blazers, but I've done it a few times in the past and decided to resurrect the belted jacket look this morning. Dress- J.Crew Lucille dress (in yellow lace; incredibly adorable ...
Blood Orange for Summer & Fall
I absolutely LOVE the Hunter Dixon blouse I purchased at a trunk show held by my friend and fellow blogger Nina. In fact, we are planning on hosting a trunk show together sometime soon :) Now, it's not getting any cooler anytime soon here in Texas, but this blouse is the perfect example of a transition piece that can be styled for summer ...
From Desk to Dinner on a Friday
Happy Friday to you! H and I just got back from dinner and I am stuffed! Now we're relaxing watching season 2 of Suits, quite possibly the best show on TV right now. I only have some iPhone photos today---but here's how I styled this top/blazer combo from office to dinner: Top- Express; Blazer- Express; Pants- Banana ...
Monday Gingham
I like to start Monday off with an outfit I love. But with love sometimes comes loss and I say this because I pretty much lost circulation in my feet because of these shoes. I'll be the first to admit that these shoes are horribly uncomfortable, but they are super cute (and it's not so bad if you'll be at your desk all day)...or so I tried to ...
Weekend Snapshots
Just a quick weekend update post since my posting has been all over the place this week! As you read in my last post, I was having major computer issues. I took my computer to the Microsoft store (which, BTW, has amazing customer service) and they told me that the hard drive was not the problem, it was the OS that crashed. So I'm going to ...
Bright White & Computer Issues
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that my computer is on the fritz. Like majorly won't-even-start/in constant-system-restore-mode fritz. My Dell also got the blue screen of death, but it's like 7 years old so I can forgive that. I am taking my VAIO to the Microsoft store this weekend to at least try and recover some data. Thankfully, I ...
Neon for Brunch
The weather in Houston continues to be what can only be described as "scorching hot." It was so hot this past Sunday that I nearly couldn't drink my coffee while we were at brunch. We went to Tiny Boxwoods because my H had never been.My first experience there was excellent---the line was long but things moved quickly. This time around, it was ...
Minty Saturday
When it's over 100 degrees outside, clothing options are limited. H and I were running errands on Saturday and I wanted to wear something comfortable that would also keep me cool. So I went for a mint chocolate chip look with a little leopard thrown in, for good measure. Tank- Banana Republic (love this; also LOVE this, and ...
