This is a long overdue update on my skin since I stopped taking birth control pills in January. My skin was pretty good for the first couple of months and then it all went downhill. I'm now back to having hormonal acne around my chin, jaw and mouth area. Lovely, right? Fortunately, it is not as intense as it was when I was in my early 20's but ...
Neon & Lace
This morning while getting ready for work, I vowed to bypass my trusted J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirts for an older favorite, my lace pencil skirt from the Ann Taylor outlet.Reunited, and it feels so good. I'm seriously so happy I rediscovered this skirt. Sometimes I find myself buying new things and only wearing those things (obessively) ...
It’s Okay to Wear White, Right?
I love a crisp white dress and this Club Monaco one has been a staple in my wardrobe for the last few years. I don't own a lot of dresses with fuller skirts like this one so it's a nice change from the slimmer silhouettes you'll usually see me in.

On Tuesdays, We Wear Pink
No, this post isn't a tribute to the movie "Mean Girls," but today did feel like "wear pink to work day" at my office. If an outsider visited the office today, they would probably think an internal memo went out to wear pink on this random Tuesday. I tend to wear bright colors especially on days where I'm in a great mood so I chose my pink azalea ...

Our Anniversary Weekend
My husband and I had the best anniversary weekend! Our third wedding anniversary is actually on May 9th, but we decided to celebrate over the weekend. On Saturday, we went to our favorite hotel in the museum district, Hotel ZaZa. We got hour long massages at the ZaSpa and then spent the rest of the day longing by the pool---sipping mimosas ...
Playing with Plaid
I originally got this plaid J.Crew shirt in the fall, but I decided to wear it into spring because its colors nicely complemented my jade green pants and bright blue blazer, both from Zara.I styled this outfit two ways to show the different ways it can be worn. (shirt tucked in) (shirt un-tucked) (add a blazer)Pants- ...
Watercolor Lillies & Recipe for Success at TOOTSIES
I love Monet paintings. The gorgeous watercolors in soft colors are so pretty and feminine. That’s why I couldn’t help myself when I saw this watercolor print dress at Ann Taylor. Thankfully, I got it for 40% off. I wore this dress to an event last night benefiting Recipe for Success held at a local boutique, TOOTSIES, in ...
Watercolor Leopard
Sometimes, the perfect spring dress has a wild side. I scored this Presley Skye dress at Nordstrom a couple of months ago and wore it for the first time this week. It’s quite an attention-grabbing dress with its bold print and bright colors, but its high neckline and flowy shape are perfect for the workplace---paired with a blazer, ...
