It was nice and cool this morning so I broke out my first sweater of the season! It's a recent buy from LOFT and I adore it. It has three different textures and the back is a little longer which is a nice touch. I paired it with slim pants and a long necklace. Just wanted to keep it simple today. sweater- LOFT | pants- banana ...

Summer Dress + Flats
Summertime is all about lightweight dresses and flats for me. It's become a uniform of sorts, especially on those days where you leave an air conditioned space only to feel like you got slapped in the face as you feel the hot, hot humidity against your skin. I purchased this Gap dress a couple of months ago for 40% off and I love it. It's a ...
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 ...

In Her Shoes
I'm very much a die-hard pencil skirt addict. But everyone once in awhile, I like to switch up my silhouette. I think it's my new Zara shoes that inspired me to wear a fuller skirt this week. I also had a luncheon to attend and wanted to look a little dressier, which I think a fuller skirt can sometimes accomplish. Dress- ...
Watercolor for Polo
***Before I begin this post, I want to send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the tragedies of 9/11. Today is a day of remembrance.*** I attended a Polo match/fundraiser on Sunday and had no idea what to wear. A hat was a given, but what kind of dress? Since it was so hot out, I opted for my watercolor print ...
What I Wore: Dinner at Smith & Wollenskys
Friday night, I met up with my blogging beauties, Bethany, Magen, Mishelle, Monica and Nina. We dined at Smith & Wollensky's (my first time ever) and since it was Houston Restaurant Week, I got an appetizer, entree and dessert for $35 (plus tip, of course). It was delish! I FINALLY started using Instagram and now I know why ...

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 ...
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 ...
