If you watched my workout DVD review video on my YouTube channel over the weekend, you’ll know that fitness is a huge priority for me right now. So much so that I’ve started to work with a personal trainer again to get back into tip top shape. One of my struggles has always been getting cardio into my workouts. I love weight lifting and toning ...

Minty Saturday
When it's over 100 degrees outside, clothing options are limited. H and I were running errands on Saturday and I wanted to wear something comfortable that would also keep me cool. So I went for a mint chocolate chip look with a little leopard thrown in, for good measure. Tank- Banana Republic (love this; also LOVE this, and ...
Re-Styling a “Memorable” Dress
Sometimes when a dress really makes a statement (like my yellow lace Lucille dress from J.Crew), you tend not to want to wear it as often because it's so "memorable." I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink ...
Acne Update: Dermatologist Visit & Current Skincare Routine
When you have hormonal acne, it's like your skin is bi-polar. One week, your skin looks pretty fantastic other than some minor uneveness and some blackheads. The next, it's like your chin just decided to have a party and invite some of its cyst friends over for drinks....and instead of going home, those cysts pass out on the couch and the next ...
What I’ve Been Wearing: Workout & Gym Edition
I've been keeping up pretty well with my weekly workouts lately, exercising about 4 days a week. That includes gym workouts, home workouts and my once-a-week Bar Method class. Right now my goal is to heighten the intensity of my workouts because I realized that I wasn't in the shape I want to be in when I got a free workout with a trainer as ...
Pleats, Please
Today I wore my Banana Republic accordian pleat skirt and it continues to be one of my favorite new pieces. You can see how I styled it previously in my Banana Republic Desk to Dinner post. Even though it is more of an A-line shape, it wears just as well as a classic pencil skirt and is just as versatile. Fuller skirts with pleating ...
Black on Black
I don't know what got into me this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I saw a personal trainer at my new gym on Sunday and realized that I am not as in shape as I thought I was (and can barely walk today)....and maybe it's that I need to curb my sugar addiction... or maybe it's because it was gloomy out...but I decided to wear all black. GASP! It's ...
Shorts That Go the Distance
My bright purple J.Crew chino shorts are arguably one of my best summer purchases. They're comfy, versatile and fun. So fun, that I seem to live in them on weekends. Today was no exception. I met with Magen, Monica and Mishelle (whoa, that's a whole lotta "Ms") for brunch at Tiny Boxwoods. If you haven't been there, it's amazing! I had ...
Double Take
I had a work-related event to attend after regular office hours Friday evening, so there was no "casual Friday" for me (I don't really remember the last time I had a casual Friday recently,come to think of it).I decided to re-wear my J.Crew Lucille dress in the emerald color again. I can already tell this dress is going to be one that is ...
Bright As the Sun
Hello, yellow. As I mentioned in my post where I got to rent a dress from Houston's New for the Night, yellow is a color that has always been out of my comfort zone. But when I saw that J.Crew's Lucille dress also came in a sunny yellow lace, I couldn't resist (I got it on sale, too!) Dress- J.Crew (buy it here)Belt- ...
