Today consisted of yet another uninspiring shopping trip. I'm really starting to wonder why I even bother anymore. Shopping used to be fun and inspiring and exciting and lately it's been sad, disappointing and just plain dull. I'm still crossing my fingers that it's all because we're still in between seasons, because if this is what I have ...

Looks I’m Loving Lately
The other day, someone asked me on my formspring page how to get out of a style rut. Believe me, I've been there. In my last year of my post-grad program, I recall feeling very lost, style-wise. I had no idea what I wanted to look like or what I should wear or what I liked. I basically spent the year in LuluLemon pants, UGG boots, ...
OOTD (Monday): “That Dress”
Every time I post this dress, I'm reminded of how much I love it. I love the fuller skirt, light yet structured cotton fabric and the buttons that to all the way down the front of the dress (and the fact that I also own it in white.) I can't believe just two weeks ago I was wearing tights and it was below freezing in Houston and Monday it was 78 ...
Obsessed With: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Most of you know I'm not a big believer in primers and what they do for the skin. I have tried many brands of skin primers and I never liked how my makeup looked when I used them (though, to be fair, I use powder foundation and that might be part of the reason.) I have heard countless raves about Urban Decay Primer Potion (or UDPP) from ...
Updating Your Bedroom For Spring: Our New Brocade Home Duvet
We got our gorgeous Butternut Moroccan duvet cover and pillows from Brocade Homerecently and I'm, just now getting a change to show them to you ladies! They are so pretty and I wanted to bring a touch of spring into our home and I think the butternut color of the pattern on these sheets against the bright white background does the trick. I ...
Weekend Shopping: Steve Madden & Sephora
Hello lovely ladies! Today H and I went on a shopping trip where he lovingly accompanied me braved the malls for a shoe-shopping extravaganza (because after last week's Jessica Simpson shoe saga, you know I needed a new pair of simple black heels.) It all began at DSW, where I couldn't find one shoe to try on. We then proceeded to the ...
OOTN: Dinner with the H
So I'm sitting here eating Thin Mints (thank you Girl Scouts of America) after an awesome dinner with H at PF Chang's (delish!) and I thought it would be fun to post tonight's outfit since I haven't done an outfit post in forever a few weeks. I didn't feel like wearing a dress to dinner so I actually wore the same clothes I had worn to work today, ...
Sports Illustrated 2011 Swimsuit Issue— Thoughts on “Curvy” and Body Talk
This weekend, Candice and I went and saw "Just Go With It," and I have to say, we laughed so hard we cried during some scenes. It was that funny. Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and movie newcomer, model Brooklyn Decker were awesome together. Definitely a feel-good and hilarious movie. I was thrilled when Sports Illustrated ...
An Open Letter: Jessica Simpson Brand Shoes
Dear Jessica Simpson/ Jessica Simpson Shoes, I loved you, I supported you, I cried a little when Newlyweds was over (don't worry, I still have the entire DVD collection.) I defended you when people called you a dumb blonde (because after all, if you were really dumb, you wouldn't have made yourself a multi-million dollar brand.) I was ...
Sweet Valentine
Last year, H and I made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants for 8 p.m. and we ended up eating at 11 p.m. Let's just say we didn't want to do that this year. It totally kills the romance when you have to wait around for 3 hours to be seated (while your tummy is growling because you saved yourself for a big dinner!) We ...
