I am so incredibly thrilled with our dining room! We are still waiting on the curtains and the chandelier to be installed, but I wanted to show a quick update about how it's looking in our space. As you know, we have an extremely open floor plan, so it was important for us to get a table that made a statement so that it stood out in its "own ...

The Not Feeling So Hot Outfit
I haven't been wearing pants a ton lately, but on days where I'm tired or feeling kind of "blah" I sometimes opt for a skinny pant because it's easy, stretchy and comfortable. This outfit is a little dark for the hot weather, so I decided to add my turquoise bubble necklace to add some color. Blazer- Gibson @ Nordstrom ...
Neon After Summer?
I've been talking a lot about fall lately because a lot of my readers have asked about transitioning pieces into fall. Neon is the perfect example of something that's tougher to bring into fall. I paired my neon pink sweater with a deep burgundy skirt and added warm, gold accessories---a perfect way to wear neon into ...
Striped Blouse For the Win & We Got a New Car!
I blogged about how much I love stripes last week and when I saw this gorgeous striped blouse on fellow blogger and teacher extraordinaire Tara from Mix and Match Fashion, I just had to have it...plus, it was 50% off! Blouse- The Limited (on sale!) Skirt- J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt Shoes- Nine West Martina Necklace- c/o Stella ...
Motivation Mondays: Maja Launches Her Health & Fitness Blog, HautePNK
I think this is my most exciting Motivation Monday...ever! My gorgeous friend Maja was the first to ever be featured in Motivation Mondays and for more than a year, I begged her incessantly to start a blog. Maja is a huge inspiration to me because in addition to living an extremely healthy lifestyle (she and her husband even grow their own ...
Sunday Snaps
Sundays tend to be lazy days for me, but today was full of cleaning. I have been on a cleaning/organization kick lately so I feverishly go through the house and clean and organize everything in my path. Now, I'm taking a break and relaxing before I hit the gym for a workout (as if cleaning vigorously wasn't enough!) I love a nice, ...
Weekend Shopping & Brow Planing at Michael Kemper Salon
I've had the busiest Saturday, but I LOVE being productive, so I'm not complaining. I woke up, had a bowl of Fruit Loops (don't judge) and cup of coffee and then I got ready and had H shoot a few outfits for a fall trends story I'm working on with CultureMap. After that, I dropped off my husband at this fantasy football draft and ...
Stripes & Lace
I absolutely adore my recent purchase of the rugby stripe boatneck tops from J.Crew. Though someone told me they are dry clean only (I didn't notice when I got them) I can get a few wears out of them before I have to send them away for cleaning. I love the way the bold, thick stripes look. Today I paired the preppy top with lace and ...
Bright Into Fall
It's still summer and it's still hot and I'm milking that for all it's worth. That means wearing as much white, bright and neon as I can before I start getting weird looks (though, thankfully, the fall color palette is full of brights so I'll be able to carry a lot of my items over). When I was getting dressed this morning I wanted to wear a ...
Baubles & Bubbles
My bubble necklaces from GroopDealz finally came in after a long wait, but I'm thrilled with them. They really dress up a tee and add something fun to an outfit. I wore my turquoise bubble necklace today with a simple gray tee just to show what an impact it makes---and I paired it with simply black slim dress pants, a skinny gold belt ...
