I can't recall if I've ever done this before, but I wore a dress as a skirt today. I always liked it when I saw other bloggers do this because you can really showcase the piece's versatility. We had a cold front coming in, so I wanted to wear a fuller skirt with boots and tights. This dress is sleeveless though, and that wouldn't cut it. So that's ...
Tartan
Happy Monday--- I hope your week is off to a great start! I feel like I always talk about the weather in my blog posts and that's largely because checking the daily forecast largely determines what I wear every day--- especially when the temperatures fluctuate so much throughout the day like they do in Houston. It started off kind of chilly ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours started with a major main-floor de-clutter session Friday night. And yes, I put a wreath up already…it's kind of Thanksgiving-ish, right? Who am I kidding?! JINGLE ALL THE WAY! And fear not for our empty wine rack, we have a wine fridge right underneath the counter and prefer to keep it ...
Dots + Gingham
It's Thursday and I couldn't be happier that we're just one day away from the weekend. My goal this weekend is to get stuff done around the house. Our guest room has turned into a glorified storage closet and our kitchen island and dining table seem to be a catch-all for just about everything. It's starting to stress me out to always feel ...
StitchFix Review: October Fix
Hello and happy Tuesday! Last week, my second fix from StitchFix arrived and I was so excited to open the box and try everything on! I immediately fell in love with the first item in my fix, a cobalt blue lace-trim blouse. It's something I would pick on my own if I was out shopping (in fact, I had been looking for a top similar to this one ...
Our Weekend…
Where to start with this weekend? Well, I missed Halloween, which was a huge disappointment. On Thursday afternoon I started to feel a bit wonky and by the time I got home I was feeling worse and I had that same feeling I had a couple of years ago…it was going to be a long night. This virus has visited me before and it is the absolute ...
Heathered Gray
Today was one of those days at the office where we all worked late and I just wrapped up some additional work from home. It's been busy, but those are my favorite days because they're fast-paced and exciting, especially when we get to work on a really interesting story. I'm glad I was wearing this super comfortable Wilfred Free Lisiere dress from ...
Sweater & Lace
Of the skirts I own, I'm going to have to give the "most worn" prize to this navy lace one from Zara. It's my go-to when I want to feel feminine and pretty. Today I paired it with the new merino charley sweater I purchased last weekend at the J.Crew Factory store. I just love the shade of pink it is--- very bright and saturated. I ...
Harper Reese- 17 Months Old!
I remember looking at a picture of Harper as a six month old recently and marveling about how that was nearly a year ago…how is my baby 17 months old? Harper has been a lot more vocal/verbal this month. She's always saying new and old words and making up some of her own! She's still very shy at daycare and not talking as much there. Her teachers ...
DIY Flamingo Halloween Costume for Toddlers!
This year, I had fully intended to buy Pottery Barn Kid's white swan costume as Harper's Halloween costume. I just loved it, though it did have a steep price tag (it's on sale now though!) Weeks went by and I realized I had pink tulle leftover from Harper's first birthday party…then we went to the zoo, I saw the beautiful flamingos there and ...
