A little over a week ago, my husband and I checked out a local CrossFit gym and took an introductory class. I had been so excited to try it after attending a few fundrasiers at CrossFit gyms and meeting a few people who did it. I promised I'd post about our expereince on my blog, so below are my thoughts about it. I'll admit that I ...
50 Shades of Purple
Though I never quite had an affinity for Barney, the big purple dinosaur, it certainly didn't keep me from wearing head to toe lilac, with a few touches of gold, for balance, of course. Why, not, I thought? This outfit actually kind of reminds me of our sofa pillows! Shirt- Talula Boyfriend Shirt (Aritzia)Skirt- J.Crew No. ...
The White Pant
I don't recall the last time I owned white pants (I returned the ones I got at Zara a couple of months ago because of fit issues) so when a co-worker recommended GAP's modern boot pants to me, I jumped at the chance to buy them at 30% off when GAP was running a promo a few weeks ago.A word of warning---these stretch like crazy as you wear ...
All Tucked In
This printed tunic from Zara is one of my most loved blouses of the moment. I love that it's super thin and lightweight because it wears so well under pencil skirts. You may remember that I also wore it tucked into shorts for brunch a couple of weeks ago. (...and if you don't remember, here's that outfit): ...and here is that same ...

You're supportive. and loving. and funny (even when I say you're not) and an equal partner. and understanding. and all around just a pretty awesome guy. Love you so ...
Happy 8th Birthday Lulu!
I know all of us doggie mommas say this, but it feels like only yesterday Lulu was a little puppy whose paws slipped up from underneath him on the slippery hardwood floors. This post is a special post to wish my little ray of sunshine a happy birthday!Lulu is my first puppy ever and I love him like a child. Every year, we get him a cake ...
Snakeskin for Summer
I usually eat my lunch at my desk during the work week, but today I had lunch with some of my fellow fashion bloggers Annina, Linley and Nina. We went to Tiny's no. 5 in West U and I had an incredible steak salad. I wore this Presley Skye dress that I got at Nordstrom months ago. I've worn it before but haven't featured it on the blog until ...
The Classics
Is there a more classic look than a crisp white shirt with a navy blue blazer? (that's a rhetorical question). I feel like I've been showing a lot more classic looks lately and I actually hadn't intended to do two similar outfits in a row, but these were taken last week and I hadn't posted them yet. I could not be more thrilled with ...
That White Shirt
I'm watching "The Change Up" on TV right now and can't help but notice Olivia Wilde's pretty office outfits---crisp white shirts and pencil skirts, galore! (she made those simple pieces look quite sexy in that movie---but then again, I kinda think she's one of those gals that can make a paper bag look sexy).Her movie style kind of reminds me of ...
The Right Formula
I love wearing loose tops. They're comfortable and breezy for summer. One of my favorite ways to wear a loose top to the office is to tuck it into a pencil skirt. In fact, I think pretty much any top looks amazing tucked into a pencil skirt and it's one of my best "dressing for the workplace" tips. It's like a mathematical ...
