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 ...

What I Wore: Dinner at Smith & Wollenskys
Friday night, I met up with my blogging beauties, Bethany, Magen, Mishelle, Monica and Nina. We dined at Smith & Wollensky's (my first time ever) and since it was Houston Restaurant Week, I got an appetizer, entree and dessert for $35 (plus tip, of course). It was delish! I FINALLY started using Instagram and now I know why ...
Dining Room Updates- Almost Done!
I am so incredibly thrilled with our dining room! We are still waiting on the curtains and the chandelier to be installed, but I wanted to show a quick update about how it's looking in our space. As you know, we have an extremely open floor plan, so it was important for us to get a table that made a statement so that it stood out in its "own ...
The Not Feeling So Hot Outfit
I haven't been wearing pants a ton lately, but on days where I'm tired or feeling kind of "blah" I sometimes opt for a skinny pant because it's easy, stretchy and comfortable. This outfit is a little dark for the hot weather, so I decided to add my turquoise bubble necklace to add some color. Blazer- Gibson @ Nordstrom ...
Neon After Summer?
I've been talking a lot about fall lately because a lot of my readers have asked about transitioning pieces into fall. Neon is the perfect example of something that's tougher to bring into fall. I paired my neon pink sweater with a deep burgundy skirt and added warm, gold accessories---a perfect way to wear neon into ...
