I went on a little bit of a hiatus from this navy skirt from Zara and didn't wear it very much when I first got it. But over the past six months or so, it has quickly become one of my most-loved pieces. It pairs well with so many textures, colors and patterns. I love this blood orange and navy combo. Both colors are rich and ...
Watercolor for Polo
***Before I begin this post, I want to send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the tragedies of 9/11. Today is a day of remembrance.*** I attended a Polo match/fundraiser on Sunday and had no idea what to wear. A hat was a given, but what kind of dress? Since it was so hot out, I opted for my watercolor print ...
A Discussion About Undergarments & Vanity Fair® Bra Reviews
Okay ladies, we are about to get real personal here, because we're going to talk about undergarments today. Though they are often an afterthought (I mean, you don't exactly plan which bra you're going to wear the night before your workday), undergarments can affect how your clothing looks, so the topic's worth discussing, no? Now I'm not going to ...
Fall Trends at Simon Fashion Now Fall 2012
Every Spring and Fall, I attend Simon Fashion Now at my favorite mall, the Houston Galleria. This year, Simon hosted a blogger preview event so we could get a taste of the trends that would be hitting the runway during the big fashion show on the rink the next night (they cover the skating rink for the show). We had a BIG group of local ...
Fitness & Food Updates & How to Wear Your Hair at the Gym
Keeping up with my fitness and eating posts is important because it motivates me to be accountable. I mentioned on Facebook that a new fitness studio opened less than a mile away from my house, which is awesome because the one thing that always frustrated me was having to drive to go to the gym (I don't mind driving, I just hated driving really ...
In the (Yellow) Bubble
Learning to use my new MacBook Air and its programs has been both a challenge and a joy. Now that I'm used to the track pad, I don't quite know how I ever lived without it. The command button is now my friend and iPhoto and I are on speaking terms again. You may have noticed an inconsistency in the sizing of my photos lately, but thank ...
The Right Stripe
I didn't wait too long to break out my black and white striped blazer that I purchased last weekend. I absolutely love switching it up from my typical solid colors. I am craving some cooler weather so that I can start layering more. I oftentimes envy those who live in cooler climates, because as much as I LOVE the warm weather practically ...

Review: Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner & Giveaway
When you have long hair like I do, one of the most important things you can do is to make sure you condition it every time you wash it so that you can add moisture back into your hair and smooth the hair cuticle (especially if you are a fan of heat-styling). I tend to favor deep conditioning masques (like my beloved Macadamia hair mask) but I ...
Home Updates: Restoration Hardware Curtains for the Kitchen & Dining Room Chandelier
On Saturday, we had Kyle, our handyman from One Call Home Handyman come to our home to install our Restoration Hardware curtains, our Overstock.com chandelier and to wall-mount our TV in the master bedroom. Some of you may recall that Kyle installed our original chandelier over the island in out kitchen. We were so thrilled with the ...
