I have known Jamie since 4th grade. We were immediate friends and played Barbies together. We had so many fun moments and memories together and continue to have them now! Jamie and her boyfriend traveled to be at our wedding and she always makes the time when we are in town to visit. I am glad to have such an awesome (and beautiful) friend, and I ...
Seriously, I Promise I’ll Stop (Little Haul)
I need to stop shopping. As good, responsible and sale-hungry as I am, I just need to stop shopping. I have everything I need at this point. I broke my Jessica Simpson heels a few weeks ago at work. I tripped on a rug and flew forward out of my shoes which cause the inner and outer side of the shoes to get little slits in them that are now ...
Happy Valentines Day Lovelies! (& Valentine OOTD plus Hubby’s Outfit!)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! My lovely husband and I celebrated yesterday evening. We had an 8:30 dinner reservation at Americas, and let's just say we didn't eat until 10:00PM. I don't understand why restaurants take on more than they can handle on a holiday, or why they let walk-ins be seated when there are people with reservations...but that's a ...
Let’s Talk Ann Taylor Sizing (& a Weekend Haul)
My husband had to exchange some of his shirts today, so we headed to the Galleria and of course, I had an ulterior motive and wanted to check out Ann Taylor because I had wanted to use my 40% off coupon on these shoes with a bow. When I saw them in person, I just felt the bow was not dramatic enough to spend $155 on, even if they were 40% off. I ...
Some OOTD’s & Maybelline Lipstick Review
Happy Friday lovely readers! I'm going to make this a quick OOTD (times 2) post and also review Maybelline's Lipstick in "Born with it."I'll start with the lipstick. I picked this up for 40% off at Walgreens over the weekend thinking "why not?" It is a pretty neutral, soft pink-y/beige color. It looks incredible on the lips and is a perfect ...
A DiorShow Alternative?
I can't believe I'm even typing the words I'm about to type, but I think I have found a mascara that I am happy enough with to actually compare to my beloved DiorShow.It's L'Oreal's New Extra Volume Collagen Waterproof Mascara in "Blackest Black." I don't know if it's the formula or the brush or a combo of the two...but this mascara is incredible. ...

SI Swimsuit Issue: Brooklyn Decker Graces 2010 Cover
You didn't think I'd possibly post about anything else today than the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, right? especially since the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker made the cover (yay for her!) At just 22 years of age, this is quite a big accomplishment for her modeling career.What I love about SI is the natural makeup, soft wavy hair, gorgeous skin ...
OOTD, A Yoga Stretch Workout & YouTube Fitness Gurus
I couldn't resist immediately wearing my new BCBG purchases so my OOTD involves my new BCBG skirt and top. PS- I am totally getting a new full-length mirror for our bedroom because I hate having the distractions of our living room in the background of all of my photos. Don't get me wrong, I love our living room, but NOT as a backdrop.Here it ...
Color Your Home with Florals!
Today, my husband and I hit the gym together and I had an awesome workout. I ended up doing only 15 minutes of cardio though, because some man got onto the one next to me 10 mins into my workout, and he reeked of cologne or perfume or something. It was like a vanilla musk. So so awful. It was so strong I started to cough. I am really sensitive to ...
