I absolutely love chambray shirts. It seems like I'm not alone as nearly every woman in my office has one! It's so easy to mix and match with light, dark and bright colors, you really can't go wrong. Though I ended up swapping out my heels for flats after checking my calendar and seeing that I would be in the office all day, I adore these Steven ...

The Spotted Watercolor Dress
I didn't buy a lot of clothes in 2013. I was pregnant for some of it, on maternity leave for some of it and then uninspired for much of the year. Sure, I bought a few pieces here and there, but nothing like before. While I'm so excited about all of the spring and summer clothes in stores right now, I can't help but love the fact that I'm also ...
A Timeless Dress
I haven't purchased anything at Club Monaco in a few years now (their prices seem to have skyrocketed from what they used to be), but one piece I will always return to is this simple button-front dress (which I also own in white, my favorite of the two). It's so easy to wear, has a nice full skirt and looks great belted too. I purchased this dress ...
Our Weekend…
Harper's 11 month update is going to be a little late because poor baby girl has been sick. Daycare called us Wednesday afternoon to let us know that she woke up from a nap with a 102 temperature. They took it again five minutes later, and it was down to 100.5. Kevin picked her up and I came home earlier that day. We had noticed that she had ...
The Perfect Gift for Mother’s Day- Tiny Tags Personalized Necklaces
This upcoming Mother's Day will be my very first and that is so exciting and special! Becoming a mother had been the biggest blessing I could ever imagine (and also the greatest challenge). My sweet little Harper is almost one now and we've had an incredible year together of loving, learning and joy. As you all know, I love wearing jewelry ...
Green Luncheon Dress
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon hosted by the Blue Bird Circle, a wonderful organization that supports the peidatric neurology clinic at Texas Children's. The luncheon featured Barbara Pierce Bush as a guest speaker. She shared with us the impact she and her fellows are making via her organization, Global Health ...
Skirts with Bows
The lovely weather continues in Houston and that means I've been motivated to rediscover some pieces I haven't worn in quite some time. This Banana Republic bow skirt is one of them. I just love the bow and slit detail and the length is perfect for the office. I used to hate wearing flats with dresses and skirts but I've been digging the ...
Pink + Stripes
I was delighted to learn that it would consistently be in the 80's this week so that means bare legs! I was so excited to slip into one of my beloved J.Crew No. 2 Pencil skirts, which I pretty much used to wear daily before I was pregnant. They're just so comfortable and easy to wear. Plus, they go with everything from dress shirts, to blouses, to ...

The Shoe for All You Do – Reebok Skyscape
A few weeks ago while perusing Instagram, I saw a picture of model Miranda Kerr wearing some pretty cool looking shoes. Little did I know that just a week later I'd get to try out a pair for myself! They're the new Reebok Skyscapes and they're amazing. Yes, just one simple word can describe them, but I'll go into more detail so you ...
