Spring & Summer Trends: Blogger Preview Event for Simon Fashion Now!
Last night I attended a blogger preview event for Simon Fashion Now's Spring 2012 show at the Galleria Houston. This year, the event was fun and interactive---I got to meet a lot of local bloggers and each store had a little presentation for us on spring trends---most notable were those given at L.K. Bennett and Bare Escentuals---I was ...
Weekend Shopping, Painting & Fitting Room Photos
Good morning! I'm up bright and early with the painters completeing the painting on our stairways and accent wall in the living room! By the way, we went with Benjamin Moore's "Revere Pewter" for our main living spaces and stairwells. I'm really happy with how it turned out---a very soft, light, subtle gray with no blue, purple or green ...
Jason Wu for Target- What I Bought & Fitting Room Pics
Oh My Goodness. Ladies I am running on a few hours of sleep right now so I'm trying my best to be coherent. I got up at 7 a.m. after working until 1 a.m. at a gala (I didn't get to bed until 2 a.m.) and headed to Target for the highly anticipated Jason Wu collection. I got there at abut 7:35 and there was a line but it wasn't too ...
How to Shop (For Less!)
When I get home from a shopping trip, I often quip to my husband "look how much money I saved!" while excitedly flapping my shopping bags in the air. It's usually met with an eye roll, but the hubs does oftentimes congratulate me on my shopping prowess. He even saves coupons for me when he sees them in the mail! True love! Obviously, ...
Shopping Smarter: Tips & Tricks (Share Yours, Too!)
One of my new year's resolutions this year was to shop smarter. So, when I saw this post on over shopping by the lovely Gigi over at Gigi's Gone Shopping, it made me self-reflect a little. I feel like I've been doing a lot of personal posts lately, so forgive me for the frequency, but I think these are important topics to ...
Seriously, I Promise I’ll Stop (Little Haul)
I need to stop shopping. As good, responsible and sale-hungry as I am, I just need to stop shopping. I have everything I need at this point. I broke my Jessica Simpson heels a few weeks ago at work. I tripped on a rug and flew forward out of my shoes which cause the inner and outer side of the shoes to get little slits in them that are now ...
A Little More Shopping- Rosettes, Stila and American Eagle Denim
Well, I pretty much think the picture above says it all. Baby pink. Rosettes galore. I told my husband the sweater was the epitome of who I am as a person. LOL. I got it today at The Limited for (gasp!) regular price. I just loved it too much. The rosettes are large, so a simple camisole is all you need under this pretty sweater. It is crop ...
Sorry I’ve been MIA…
But it's all for a good cause, I promise. I've had the privilege of working on an amazing project called Strides Across Texas. Last January, a radio DJ here in Houston (Kevin Kline) decided to train for an entire year to run a nearly 500- mile, 13-day ultramarathon across Texas to raise awareness about pediatric cancer, and to raise money for ...
Phases
I don't know if it's because I've been reading too much Twilight, but lately, I've been thinking about phases.Just like Jacob transforms from a human to a wolf, I feel like I'm sort of always "phasing" in one direction or another (when it comes to shopping, not transforming into another life form, of course.)For example, for the last few months, ...
