This Sunday, a group of us blogger gals got together for some brunch at Cuchara Restaurant. I can't say I loved the food and tiny menu, but the amazing company more than made up for it. From left- Bethany, Jamie, Magen, Mishelle, Meg (with baby Kennedy) and moi. Also, I got to look at this adorable face all afternoon: Kennedy is ...

Shaping Up on Saturday: Bella Shares Moves to Tone Your Muffin Top!
A few weekends ago, I met one of my readers, Bella, who happens to own a fitness studio here in Houston called Bella Body Fitness. I asked Bella if she could contribute to my blog once in awhile because I know you ladies are always looking for new workout moves. This one is called "Tone Up Your Muffin Top Workout," and I love it because your ...
A Sweater (In September)
Thought I absolutely love it, I felt weird about wearing my polka dot Tippi sweater because it was still so hot here. But it's so freezing in my office that I decided to go for it this Friday. Sweater- J.Crew (buy it here) Skirt- J.Crew (buy it here) Belt- J.Crew (similar) Shoes- Nine West (buy them here) Necklace- c/o Stella & ...
The Navy Pencil Dress
Every time I take photos outdoors, I'm reminded by how much better they look. I'm contemplating stationing my tripod at the front door so I can quickly bring it outside, snap some shots and tuck it back into the house. I'll try it next week and if it's feasible. This navy blue dress is one of my favorite, classic pieces. The best part is that my ...
Polka Dot Parade
I just can't get enough of polka-dots. Please don't go out of style ever. The pattern is versatile and feminine without being too child-like. It's perfect. Blouse- GAP (buy it here) Skirt- J.Crew (similar, similar) Blazer- Aritzia (similar, similar) Shoes- Nine West (similar) Necklace- Banana Republic (love ...
Lace For Lunch
I had a luncheon to attend today so I wanted to dress up a little more than usual. I wore my trusty White House, Black Market lace dress that I got at their outlet store for about $30 (total score for such a classic piece!) It has a pretty cool back too---sheer black with a keyhole. ...and with a jacket: Blazer- ...
A New Fall Neutral
This burgundy skirt from Target was a steal at $22---and I'm loving the way it mixes with various prints and color combos. It's almost like a neutral for fall. I decided to add a tiny polka-dot blouse and a striped blazer in the same colors. If you're scared to mix prints, try using prints in the same color family to ease into the ...
What I’ve Been Eating & Other Randoms
I had an incredibly busy work week this week so as the weekend starts tomorrow, I'm planning to take naps and just relax and run errands. Sometimes it's nice to just kick back and do next to nothing. Here are some of my favorite meals I ate this week: Berries with Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread and Justin's chocolate hazelnut ...
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- ...
Green As A Neutral
Green pants are turning into a new neutral for me. I am finding them easy to pair with so many colors. I love that they can be dressed up for the office and dressed down for the weekend. Plus, these ones are buttery soft. Pants- GAP (buy them here) Shirt- GAP (buy it here) Blazer- Artizia (a cute option, ...
