Happy Saturday! I must admit my morning started off badly today. I had massive cramps (TMI, I know) and just did NOT feel good. But I had to drag myself out of bed because I had a hair trim appointment this morning with the lovely Stephanie at Toni and Guy in the Galleria mall. I was really happy with my trim. Hardly any length off, and my ...
Gucci Gets “Guilty”- Mini-Film Features True Blood’s Evan Rachel Wood (Love!)
I was contacted by Gucci recently about their new fragrance "Gucci Guilty." It piqued my interest because they actually designed a viral and social media plan around a video they created to launch the product. I also featured their ad as one of my "favorites" from the September issue of VOGUE in one of my posts earlier this week. Gucci ...
Requested: My Hair Routine in 10 Steps (picture-heavy)
This has been a very requested post so I FINALLY remembered to leave my camera in the bathroom last night so that this morning I would think to myself "why is there a camera in my bathroom?" and then I'd realize that I promised I would do my hair tutorial post. Sorry it's taken me so long. Let's get started! Step 1: Brush your ...
OOTD & GAP’s New Line of Dress Pants: Black Magic?
Happy Wednesday everyone! I had a meeting today for work so I decided to stick with a simple look: all black, of course. As you all know I wear black a lot because it's easy and flattering. Yesterday one of the ads I showed from the September issue of VOGUE was a GAP ad for their new line of dress pants called "Black Magic." I hope ...
The September Issue: Favorite Ads & More! (picture-heavy)
Every year, I buy the September issue of Vogue just to see all of the amazing fall ads (and of course to read the content, which is a very small percentage of the magazine's total pages.) I currently subscribe to a lot of magazines, so I have a lot of "September Issue" reading (and admiring) to do. I peeped into the VOGUE I bought today and ...
Dressing Your Age: Do You? Join the Discussion.
Today I read an article in the LA Times about Ann Taylor changing their look to become more modern and also to target younger shoppers. Here are some excerpts from that piece: The women's apparel chain is trying to shake its "Corporate Cathy" image with the help of a design overhaul, updated stores and a new celebrity spokeswoman — Naomi ...
My First Designer HandBag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo in “Rosie”
I bought my first designer handbag today. Well, technically, it's my third, but this is the first one I bought myself at full price. I currently own a black Michael Kors bag that my best friend sold to me and of course my lovely Kate Spade clutch bag that I got recently from the Kate Spade outlet. While cruising my YouTube ...
OOTD: Black & White Part Deux
I had a very long day today (worked until 8 tonight) so I wanted to keep it simple with my attire today...and keeping it simple often means resorting to black and white. I had an important meeting in the morning and last-minute event planning all day so there was no room for fuss with today's ensemble! Here's what I wore: Seriously. Need. ...
OOTD: Black & White and It Feels Alright
Today I went with tried and true black and white. I wore my new White House Black Market long cardigan which was only worn for a short while as it was once again blazingly hot outside. It was a nice, simple combo...put together without a lot of effort. That's what I love about dresses. There's something wonderful about having to put on just one ...
Organizing Your Life: Bathroom Storage
I'm pretty much obsessed with constantly finding the best storage solutions for every room of our home. Last weekend H and I spent a good 3 hours cleaning out our storage closet. We dropped off several bags of clothing and houseware stuff to the Salvation Army today. It feels good to get rid of all of that clutter while also knowing it's ...
