This Thanksgiving is particularly special to me. Last year, I made it my resolution to be more thankful. Instead of asking God for things to happen in my life or constantly focusing on my problems (and asking God to solve them), I made a conscious effort to instead focus my energy on thanking God for all of the amazing things in my life that I was ...
Living Proof’s Prime Style Extender Really Does Extend Your Style (Really!)
When I first saw a magazine ad for Living Proof's "Prime Style Extender" I totally thought it was a gimmick. In the past couple of years, makeup primers have become a "must-have" item for every girl's makeup routine, but I personally never cared for them. I had always been pleased with Living Proof's products and have used many of them ...
Transformative Beauty: A Curled Lash
There's a saying: "It's the little things." Normally when you think about "transformative beauty," you think of major makeovers -- but in my case, something that completely transformed my beauty routine is when I started to curl my lashes.

Outfits Lately
I haven't posted a ton of outfits lately, mostly because I've been recycling looks you've seen already, but I did pull some shots from my iPhone (some workwear and some casual/weekend wear). Also, my year end review is this week and I have been spending a lot of time working on it these last few weeks and I haven't had the energy to think much ...
The Argument for Shapewear: A Review of Jockey’s New Line with Rachel Zoe
As you know from a previous post I wrote on wearing the right bra, I'm pretty passionate about undergarments. This includes shapewear. Yes, shapewear.†Some women view shapewear as "their little secret," and that's totally fine with me, but if you've never worn it before, I'm about to make the argument for why you should consider it. Shapewear can ...
Styling Banana Republic’s New Anna Karenina Collection
Today, Banana Republic released its Anna Karenina inspired collection and I was lucky enough to receive a gorgeous (faux, of course) fur scarf to style from the collection. Fortunately, the Houston weather has officially gone into "coat weather mode" (though, I saw on the news that it's going to be in the 80's again tomorrow) so I was able to ...

I blogged about my collection of her gems in March (here) and today I'm delighted to share with you a few new items Regina sent to me. I am in love with these earrings. I also have the pearl ones and ...
Scents of Fall
The moment September hits, I suddenly crave having my entire house smell like cinnamon-pumpkin-fall leaves awesomeness. There is nothing better than filling your home with an aroma that reminds you of fall. Since I've moved to Houston, fall is a season this city seems to sort of skip over, and it's made me even more into filling my home ...
