When you work in an office, it's important to have pieces in your wardrobe that can transition from day to night. You'll get more wear out of the item and it will become a staple piece in your closet. When Banana Republic contacted me about their new Desk to Dinner collection, which features work-worthy styles that easily transition to ...

Bright to Brunch
We went out for an early brunch this morning so that we could start our day of errands...little did we know there would be a torrential downpour later on. There is so much thunder and lightening happening right now, I'm surprised I still have an Internet connection. We did get to squeeze in our grocery shopping though, which was great.I decided to ...
Emerald
Oh the J.Crew Lucille dress. We met over a month ago. We gave eachother a look. You tempted me with your beauty, but when I looked at your price tag, my dreams of having you in my closet were shattered. Then, last weekend, you were on sale for $99.99 plus an additional 30 % off and now, we're going steady (because let's just be honest, your ...
Sweaters for Summer?
Navy blue and hot pink might just be one of the best color combos ever. It's not quite as harsh as black and hot pink and the rich, deep blue plays well off of the neon color of the sweater. This outfit was incredibly comfortable and felt totally laid-back---but the lace of the skirt made it look a little more dressed up than it ...
Bright Shorts for an Unproductive Saturday
Today was the day of errands gone wild. We had intended to get my passport photo taken, and that was a fail because I wore a white dress shirt without thinking. Then, I forgot to deposit some checks to the bank and it was closed by the time I realized it.Then, we went to Restoration Hardware and we realized that the drapes we want only come ...
A Wrinkle in Time & A Very Special Young Girl- Help Her Birthday Wish Come True!
Oh linen. So perfect for the summer, yet so wrinkle-prone. What's a girl to do? Wear it anyway, I suppose. Does casual Friday mean "linen wrinkles permitted?" Probably not, but a girl can wish, no?For all of you Lulu fans---this post is for you :) and please read the end of this post, because I think the story will move and inspire ...
The Bow Back Dress & Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July to all of my readers! We are off to spend a day at the country club with my in-laws! It will be nice to get some reading done at the pool---and no worries, I'm drenched in sunscreen! I'm still over-the-moon about the bow-back dress I scored at J.Crew last weekend on mega-sale, so I was excited to wear it this week.I ...
Minty Monday & What I’ve Been Doing to Keep Fit!
No Motivation Mondays today---but maybe this will motivate you---I'm so sore, I can hardly walk! Now that I'm back into regular workouts, I've come to really embrace my Sunday afternoons. I have a whole routine--- go to the gym, reward myself with a little scouting trip to Marshalls Home Goods and then go grocery shopping (and I'm ...
Blood Orange
Saturday night, H and I attended Katy's housewarming party. She and her husband moved into a beautiful home recently and we had a blast touring through it (ummm, especially her closet!)I decided to wear the Parker dress Candice got for my birthday. I am so happy she chose this color for me---it's one I didn't yet own and I think it's so fun for ...
And the Award Goes To…
On Thursday night, we attended the PRSA Awards so I wanted to wear a dress to the event. This is the second time I wore my Ann Taylor watercolor dress, and this time, I paired it with my bright green Zara blazer.This blazer has been such a wonderful investment for me. I'm really finding that it works well with a lot of my tops and dresses. ...
