Happy 8th Birthday Lulu!
I know all of us doggie mommas say this, but it feels like only yesterday Lulu was a little puppy whose paws slipped up from underneath him on the slippery hardwood floors. This post is a special post to wish my little ray of sunshine a happy birthday!Lulu is my first puppy ever and I love him like a child. Every year, we get him a cake ...
Snakeskin for Summer
I usually eat my lunch at my desk during the work week, but today I had lunch with some of my fellow fashion bloggers Annina, Linley and Nina. We went to Tiny's no. 5 in West U and I had an incredible steak salad. I wore this Presley Skye dress that I got at Nordstrom months ago. I've worn it before but haven't featured it on the blog until ...
The Classics
Is there a more classic look than a crisp white shirt with a navy blue blazer? (that's a rhetorical question). I feel like I've been showing a lot more classic looks lately and I actually hadn't intended to do two similar outfits in a row, but these were taken last week and I hadn't posted them yet. I could not be more thrilled with ...
That White Shirt
I'm watching "The Change Up" on TV right now and can't help but notice Olivia Wilde's pretty office outfits---crisp white shirts and pencil skirts, galore! (she made those simple pieces look quite sexy in that movie---but then again, I kinda think she's one of those gals that can make a paper bag look sexy).Her movie style kind of reminds me of ...
The Right Formula
I love wearing loose tops. They're comfortable and breezy for summer. One of my favorite ways to wear a loose top to the office is to tuck it into a pencil skirt. In fact, I think pretty much any top looks amazing tucked into a pencil skirt and it's one of my best "dressing for the workplace" tips. It's like a mathematical ...
Neon Coral
I often think about what a complete 180 I've done with my style these last couple of years. That feeling came full circle this past weekend when I accompanied my friend on a shopping trip where she too delved into the world of colors and brights. She is me 2 years ago---lots of gray, black and navy (remember how practically every outfit ...
Hung Up (on the walls)
In our last house, we didn't hang a lot on our walls because we knew we wouldn't really be there for a long time. In this house, I want to hang more art, mirrors and everything in between to truly make it feel like a home (because, hey, walls get lonely).Though I'd still like to add even more artwork and mirrors, I think we're off to a ...
Mint for Dinner
Saturday night we had dinner with my in laws and my best friend (at Liberty Kitchen in the Heights, as an FYI to my local readers) and while deciding what to wear for the evening, I remembered I hadn't yet worn my minty green cotton dress from H&M. I love how versatile, comfortable and most of all, affordable this dress ...
Succulent Green
ALERT THE PRESSES! It's official y'all, the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in double serge cotton is just as amazing as its cozier cousin, the No. 2 Pencil skirt in double serge wool.I have to admit I didn't think I would love the double serge cotton skirt as much as the wool---but I love it as much as the wool (and maybe more, at this point, ...
