I was tagged by gorgeous Fetching Fashionista Justine to do this fun little "get to you know your weird quirks" post. I have so many, that I thought it would be fun to share just a few of them (I'll save the rest of them for another post!)ETA: I realized Justine actually gave me one of the "Beautiful Blogger" Awards. I didn't realize that at first ...

New Year, New Look?
This post is difficult to write for me, because I always pride myself on trying to maintain my apperance to the best of my abilities, and I realized that an area where I totally failed is my hair.Yes, that's right, I'm admitting it. A couple of posts ago, a few commenters mentioned that my hair was looking a little "bottom heavy" (I had never ...
Trend Report: Lingerie-Inspired Swimwear
Women's Wear Daily wrote about a new trend today (which actually started at least a year ago, but I digress): Swimwear that is very lingerie-esque. My lovely followers know that I've been quite bathing suit crazy lately because of my vacation (which is just 20 short days away!) I've always loved swimwear (even as an awkwardly skinny, flat-chested ...
Best of 2009-Holy Grail Products I Couldn’t Live Without!
I got this idea from Carolina Bella over at In My Shoes who got it from Emily at Beauty Broadcast. I definitely have some of my "best of" to share for 2009, so without further ado, here they are:Best Liquid Foundation:I don't use liquid, so I can't comment on this one, sorry ladies! (I promise I'll try one soon)...BUT my fave powder foundation is ...
Massive Post-Christmas Haul: I Went a Little Overboard…BUT…
I saved so much money.Even my husband remarked how proud he was of me as he as he lovingly carried my shopping bags (bless his heart.)I hardly ever buy anything at full price. I wait and wait until my most coveted (and sometimes pricey) items are 40-50% off of their original price. Why, you ask? Because shopping is more fulfilling when you get a ...
A New Year: Make Better, Not Make-Over
Elle Magazine's January issue featured an entire section about "making better" (instead of the dreaded "making-over".)I thought this was a really positive message- because after all, most women want to be true to who they are when making improvements, not made-over into someone they hardly recognize.I admittedly got sucked-in by the ads promoting ...

Just a quick note to say that I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!Our baby Lulu got a special gift this year...That's right- Lulu is sporting his very own doggie Snuggie!As for me, I was lucky enough to get a Sonicare toothbrush (I already had an Oral-B but wanted and upgrade) and my husband surprised me with a Flip HD camera. I'm going to ...
Rodarte for Target: Hello Gorgeous, Girly Bikinis
Hello lovelies! I'm going to sort of do this post in reverse and first discuss some recent (as recent as today) purchases.I've been looking for a casual zip-up to wear to pilates, the gym etc. I have a really nice Lulu Lemon zip-up that's made of their special fabric, but I wanted something soft and comfy.I went to the Banana Republic at Highland ...
Sorry I’ve been MIA…
But it's all for a good cause, I promise. I've had the privilege of working on an amazing project called Strides Across Texas. Last January, a radio DJ here in Houston (Kevin Kline) decided to train for an entire year to run a nearly 500- mile, 13-day ultramarathon across Texas to raise awareness about pediatric cancer, and to raise money for ...
OOTD: Pretty Purple
This was my OOTD from last Tuesday. These candids were taken at a work event which is why my expression looks kind of...blank.Top- J.Crew; Skirt-Forever 21; Sweater-New York & Co. You can also kind of see how I wear my hair on the daily. Down, blown-out and the front part pinned away from my face a bit (my hair will not stay away from my face ...
