In Toronto, a Saturday is always best spent walking around and exploring--- you can shop, eat, people watch and overall just take in the energy of the city. That's exactly what we did that sunny Saturday. We walked to Queen street, the Eaton's Center and ate lunch at a restaurant across from the new Trump Hotel.The night before, my friend Heather ...

29.
Today is my 29th birthday. It's an age that has always made me feel nervous because when you're younger, 30 tends to be the age you assess all of the expectations you had in your twenties and contemplate whether or not they were met. You hope to accomplish certain goals by then---and 29 is the age where you sort of start panicking about what you ...
Shocking Pink, Toronto Edition
As much as I'm sad that I'm no longer in Toronto with my family and friends, I can't help but be excited to get back into blogging. I've missed you all! First things first, if you'd like to learn about my favorite ways to get a summer glow (sans the actual sun, of course)---please visit Joan's blog The Baloney Bug where I've written a guest post ...

Sunday Houston Blogger Brunch- May 2012
I think brunch was invented so that people would look forward to Sundays. Once a month, a bunch of us Houston blogger gals get together for brunch and this month it was at Haven, a restaurant described as a "seasonal kitchen"---they use fresh, local foods and their menu changes all of the time because they use what's in season. ...

Tunics as Tops
Happy Friday! H and I are relaxing, catching up on our DVR and enjoying Chinese food!So, this morning, I went to put on my new white Zara pants (that I also have in jade and black) and the fit was completely off. I didn't try them on when I bought them because they were the same style and size as the others I bought, so I figured they would fit ...
Skincare Updates: Acne & the Pill (or lack thereof)
This is a long overdue update on my skin since I stopped taking birth control pills in January. My skin was pretty good for the first couple of months and then it all went downhill. I'm now back to having hormonal acne around my chin, jaw and mouth area. Lovely, right? Fortunately, it is not as intense as it was when I was in my early 20's but ...
Neon & Lace
This morning while getting ready for work, I vowed to bypass my trusted J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirts for an older favorite, my lace pencil skirt from the Ann Taylor outlet.Reunited, and it feels so good. I'm seriously so happy I rediscovered this skirt. Sometimes I find myself buying new things and only wearing those things (obessively) ...
It’s Okay to Wear White, Right?
I love a crisp white dress and this Club Monaco one has been a staple in my wardrobe for the last few years. I don't own a lot of dresses with fuller skirts like this one so it's a nice change from the slimmer silhouettes you'll usually see me in.
