I like to start Monday off with an outfit I love. But with love sometimes comes loss and I say this because I pretty much lost circulation in my feet because of these shoes. I'll be the first to admit that these shoes are horribly uncomfortable, but they are super cute (and it's not so bad if you'll be at your desk all day)...or so I tried to ...
Weekend Snapshots
Just a quick weekend update post since my posting has been all over the place this week! As you read in my last post, I was having major computer issues. I took my computer to the Microsoft store (which, BTW, has amazing customer service) and they told me that the hard drive was not the problem, it was the OS that crashed. So I'm going to ...
Bright White & Computer Issues
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that my computer is on the fritz. Like majorly won't-even-start/in constant-system-restore-mode fritz. My Dell also got the blue screen of death, but it's like 7 years old so I can forgive that. I am taking my VAIO to the Microsoft store this weekend to at least try and recover some data. Thankfully, I ...
Neon for Brunch
The weather in Houston continues to be what can only be described as "scorching hot." It was so hot this past Sunday that I nearly couldn't drink my coffee while we were at brunch. We went to Tiny Boxwoods because my H had never been.My first experience there was excellent---the line was long but things moved quickly. This time around, it was ...
Motivation Mondays: Define Revolution Spin Class & Erin Stewart Shares Her Favorite Summer Recipes & Nutrition Tips
If you watched my workout DVD review video on my YouTube channel over the weekend, you’ll know that fitness is a huge priority for me right now. So much so that I’ve started to work with a personal trainer again to get back into tip top shape. One of my struggles has always been getting cardio into my workouts. I love weight lifting and toning ...
Minty Saturday
When it's over 100 degrees outside, clothing options are limited. H and I were running errands on Saturday and I wanted to wear something comfortable that would also keep me cool. So I went for a mint chocolate chip look with a little leopard thrown in, for good measure. Tank- Banana Republic (love this; also LOVE this, and ...
Re-Styling a “Memorable” Dress
Sometimes when a dress really makes a statement (like my yellow lace Lucille dress from J.Crew), you tend not to want to wear it as often because it's so "memorable." I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink ...
Acne Update: Dermatologist Visit & Current Skincare Routine
When you have hormonal acne, it's like your skin is bi-polar. One week, your skin looks pretty fantastic other than some minor uneveness and some blackheads. The next, it's like your chin just decided to have a party and invite some of its cyst friends over for drinks....and instead of going home, those cysts pass out on the couch and the next ...
What I’ve Been Wearing: Workout & Gym Edition
I've been keeping up pretty well with my weekly workouts lately, exercising about 4 days a week. That includes gym workouts, home workouts and my once-a-week Bar Method class. Right now my goal is to heighten the intensity of my workouts because I realized that I wasn't in the shape I want to be in when I got a free workout with a trainer as ...
Pleats, Please
Today I wore my Banana Republic accordian pleat skirt and it continues to be one of my favorite new pieces. You can see how I styled it previously in my Banana Republic Desk to Dinner post. Even though it is more of an A-line shape, it wears just as well as a classic pencil skirt and is just as versatile. Fuller skirts with pleating ...
