I am SO excited to share with you that we finally purchased our dining room chairs today! I am still contemplating doing different head-of-table chairs (either ones with side arms or maybe even doing something totally different like wicker for a mix of textures) but I'm absolutely thrilled with these tufted chairs I found at a local store ...

From Desk to Dinner on a Friday
Happy Friday to you! H and I just got back from dinner and I am stuffed! Now we're relaxing watching season 2 of Suits, quite possibly the best show on TV right now. I only have some iPhone photos today---but here's how I styled this top/blazer combo from office to dinner: Top- Express; Blazer- Express; Pants- Banana ...
What’s in My Fridge This Week?
I get a lot of requests to talk about what I eat, so I thought it would be fun to do a "what's in my fridge" post. I say "this week" because obviously it varies, usually I switch up my fruits based on what's in season. Please note that this does not include all of the meats and veggies---I freeze most of our meats and we let them thaw out ...
CHI Touch Screen Hairdryer Review & Giveaway!
Let's face it, all of us gals feel a little pang of envy when we see the gorgeous Kate Middleton with hair so bouncy and shiny that it's worthy of a crown---but bouncy, shiny, voluminous hair is not out of reach for us "commoners" (haha, sorry, I just had to say it). It's about having the right tools, the right technique and the right ...
Monday Gingham
I like to start Monday off with an outfit I love. But with love sometimes comes loss and I say this because I pretty much lost circulation in my feet because of these shoes. I'll be the first to admit that these shoes are horribly uncomfortable, but they are super cute (and it's not so bad if you'll be at your desk all day)...or so I tried to ...
Weekend Snapshots
Just a quick weekend update post since my posting has been all over the place this week! As you read in my last post, I was having major computer issues. I took my computer to the Microsoft store (which, BTW, has amazing customer service) and they told me that the hard drive was not the problem, it was the OS that crashed. So I'm going to ...
Bright White & Computer Issues
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that my computer is on the fritz. Like majorly won't-even-start/in constant-system-restore-mode fritz. My Dell also got the blue screen of death, but it's like 7 years old so I can forgive that. I am taking my VAIO to the Microsoft store this weekend to at least try and recover some data. Thankfully, I ...
Neon for Brunch
The weather in Houston continues to be what can only be described as "scorching hot." It was so hot this past Sunday that I nearly couldn't drink my coffee while we were at brunch. We went to Tiny Boxwoods because my H had never been.My first experience there was excellent---the line was long but things moved quickly. This time around, it was ...
