This is going to be a completely overly-analytical and borderline-OCD post about my hair...so bear with me. I mentioned recently on my Facebook page that I haven't gotten my hair colored or cut since February (yikes!) The truth is, I needed a break. I wanted to just let my hair grow out a bit and get some of my natural color flowing ...
All of Your Shoe & Foot Questions- Answered!
In today's most unsexy blog post ever, we're going to talk about feet. Yup, feet. Big feet, small feet, smelly summer feet (you’re cringing right now, right?) I had the idea to do this post a few weeks ago when I was (in my head) cursing the way the summer heat and humidity made me feel in my shoes. I asked Kelly, founder of Stiletto Hardware (you ...
Emerald
Oh the J.Crew Lucille dress. We met over a month ago. We gave eachother a look. You tempted me with your beauty, but when I looked at your price tag, my dreams of having you in my closet were shattered. Then, last weekend, you were on sale for $99.99 plus an additional 30 % off and now, we're going steady (because let's just be honest, your ...
A Great Investment
I feel like I've written this before about this blouse, but this is probably one of my best investments of 2011/2012. It goes with everything and is incredibly comfortable. I think the black and white classic stripes make it quite seasonless as well, which is a bonus. Shirt & Skirt- J.Crew (similar vertical stripe; ...
Sweaters for Summer?
Navy blue and hot pink might just be one of the best color combos ever. It's not quite as harsh as black and hot pink and the rich, deep blue plays well off of the neon color of the sweater. This outfit was incredibly comfortable and felt totally laid-back---but the lace of the skirt made it look a little more dressed up than it ...
Bright Shorts for an Unproductive Saturday
Today was the day of errands gone wild. We had intended to get my passport photo taken, and that was a fail because I wore a white dress shirt without thinking. Then, I forgot to deposit some checks to the bank and it was closed by the time I realized it.Then, we went to Restoration Hardware and we realized that the drapes we want only come ...
A Wrinkle in Time & A Very Special Young Girl- Help Her Birthday Wish Come True!
Oh linen. So perfect for the summer, yet so wrinkle-prone. What's a girl to do? Wear it anyway, I suppose. Does casual Friday mean "linen wrinkles permitted?" Probably not, but a girl can wish, no?For all of you Lulu fans---this post is for you :) and please read the end of this post, because I think the story will move and inspire ...
The Bow Back Dress & Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July to all of my readers! We are off to spend a day at the country club with my in-laws! It will be nice to get some reading done at the pool---and no worries, I'm drenched in sunscreen! I'm still over-the-moon about the bow-back dress I scored at J.Crew last weekend on mega-sale, so I was excited to wear it this week.I ...
Apricot & Shrimp Skewers for Summer
One of my New Year's resolutions was to cook more often and learn to make differenct dishes. I was so resistant to recipes. I hated that there were rules and measuring and grocery lists with seemingly endless ingredients to buy.However, I've changed my tune lately. I've learned to kind of enjoy making different dishes and I am proud of myself ...
Minty Monday & What I’ve Been Doing to Keep Fit!
No Motivation Mondays today---but maybe this will motivate you---I'm so sore, I can hardly walk! Now that I'm back into regular workouts, I've come to really embrace my Sunday afternoons. I have a whole routine--- go to the gym, reward myself with a little scouting trip to Marshalls Home Goods and then go grocery shopping (and I'm ...
