I Hate Running Shoes & Review of Essie’s “Lilacism”
I have a strange hatred towards running shoes. I understand their purpose, appreciate their comfort and know they are necessary...but I hate them.They make my feet look even larger than they are. They are clunky, totally anti-girly and I just hate how they look on my feet.Let me preface this post by saying it is not meant to offend anyone. This ...
Weekend Purchases: LoL for Target & Forever 21
Today, I started off my day right and went for a 3 mile walk at Houston's Memorial Park with Candice. We walked it, but it felt great nevertheless. After our walk, we headed to the mall to check out some of the new spring fashions. I heard through the blogging grapevine that the Liberty of London line was already in Target stores (it is supposed ...

Jennifer Aniston’s Hair & OOTD- Ann Taylor Petal Blouse
I've always thought Jennifer Aniston was so beautiful. In fact, in the 7th grade, I took the plunge (along with hundreds of thousands of other women, I'm sure) and got "The Rachel," made famous by her hair stylist Chris McMillan.Jennifer Aniston sticks with the same look because she knows what works for her. She's changed her hair a few times, but ...

Hello lovely readers! I am absolutely exhausted from Pilates class tonight so I feel fortunate that I took photos of my outfit before I left for work this morning!It's getting warmer here, so I'm very much looking forward to ditching tights soon (though I do like their slimming effect on the legs.)

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target: A Hit & A Miss
I've never done a "fitting room try-on" post, but I think I'll do these more often because I think they are fun! Gigi from Gigi's Gone Shopping does these posts all of the time. It's a nice way to see how things fit on other people. Model's clothes are clipped, snipped and pulled in all kinds of ways when they are shooting for catalogs, and ...
Victoria’s Secret “Body by Victoria” bras and Giving “Eye Bright” a Second Chance
This past week has been a real fitness fail for me. I was on location almost the entire week shooting a video for work, so as you can imagine, after lugging heavy filming equipment around all day, the last thing I wanted to do when I got home is work out (or hear Tony Horton's voice.)I ate fairly well all week and I did go to Pilates class on ...
