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 ...
Blood Orange
Saturday night, H and I attended Katy's housewarming party. She and her husband moved into a beautiful home recently and we had a blast touring through it (ummm, especially her closet!)I decided to wear the Parker dress Candice got for my birthday. I am so happy she chose this color for me---it's one I didn't yet own and I think it's so fun for ...
And the Award Goes To…
On Thursday night, we attended the PRSA Awards so I wanted to wear a dress to the event. This is the second time I wore my Ann Taylor watercolor dress, and this time, I paired it with my bright green Zara blazer.This blazer has been such a wonderful investment for me. I'm really finding that it works well with a lot of my tops and dresses. ...
Home Updates: Dining Room & Window Coverings
Getting window coverings and a new dining table have been a long time coming. We've lived in our new house for nearly a year and have done quite a bit already---but we're still rocking Ready Blinds (which are awesome, BTW) on our windows and never use our super uncomfortable IKEA dining table (not much of a dining table if you never use it!) After ...
Light Rose
My undying love for the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt is deeper than I ever imagined. In fact, during the extra 30% off sale, I picked up yet another one---this time, in the color "light rose." It's actually more of a bright coral color---and every bit as delightful as my other No. 2s (seriously, I need to start naming them). Let's call this one ...
