Motivation Mondays: Jamie Gives Us the Lowdown on CrossFit
A couple of months ago I blogged about CrossFit and how my husband and I tested out a class. In the end, it wasn't for us, but one of the reasons I was inspired to try it in the first place was because of my friend Jamie. Jamie and her husband have been doing CrossFit for awhile now and because I like to share a variety of different Motivation ...
Sunday Snaps: The Workout That Never Happened
I had the laziest Sunday of all time. I got out of bed and then proceeded to lounge around until about 1PM when I realized I had late lunch plans with some of my blogging friends (hi Magen, Mishelle & Bethany!). I got ready and even threw on my workout clothes so I could head to the gym after our late lunch for a good Sunday ...
Saturday Snaps & J.Crew Fitting Room Photos
This afternoon, we went to the Apple store to pick up my MacBook Air and get it all set up and that's where I'm blogging from right now. It's been a major adjustment for me but overall I am getting the hang of it (sort of). I thought that having the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the opposite side would be my largest issue, but it's moreso ...
Lace, Lilac & Lulu on a Friday
Though I haven't quite jumped on the peplum train yet, I do have one top, that, when belted, nearly fits the bill. It's not quite the same look, but it's a nice change over having every top tucked in. Perfect for a Friday at the office. Lace top- Zara (similar, similar, really cute option)Skirt- J.Crew (buy it ...

The Silk Blouse
When I don't know what to wear in the morning, I always reach for a dress shirt. It's the always appropriate, can't-go-wrong choice. I especially love this silk dress blouse from Banana Republic. It's a perfect off-white color and the fabric feels luxurious and a little fancier than cotton. The other thing I love about a silk blouse? ...
If You Like it Then You Should Put a Belt on It
I've worn this dress/jacket combo a few times now and wanted to find a way to make it feel fresh when I was getting dressed this morning.I don't usually belt my blazers, but I've done it a few times in the past and decided to resurrect the belted jacket look this morning. Dress- J.Crew Lucille dress (in yellow lace; incredibly adorable ...
Blood Orange for Summer & Fall
I absolutely LOVE the Hunter Dixon blouse I purchased at a trunk show held by my friend and fellow blogger Nina. In fact, we are planning on hosting a trunk show together sometime soon :) Now, it's not getting any cooler anytime soon here in Texas, but this blouse is the perfect example of a transition piece that can be styled for summer ...
Acne Update- Oral & Topical Antibiotics Did the Trick
For the past two weeks, my skin has been pretty amazing. I hate to even type that because it's like asking for my skin to go on strike, but it's true. I started to take my minocycline antibiotics twice daily, as prescribed (for the first two weeks I was only taking them once daily) and my acne pretty much completely cleared up. My skin is ...
